Question 2 Advice

Question 2 can be deceptive.  If you begin to identify literary devices such as alliteration or rules of three you may lead yourself off and away from what you've been asked to do as this is not specifically what you need to comment on.

You are, instead, asked to comment on effects.  Take a phrase that creates a sense of tension or anxiety.  Does the writer create an impression of a speaker who is heavy handed or overly authoritative for instance?

Is there a mechanical tone, or a lack of warmth from a speaker?

Think about the picture your imagination pieces together and comment on this and which words or phrases have led to this.
