Hi Beth, It seems that you still haven’ t feedback my homework, so may I please ask why?

Lesson 1:

In general, the main character is shown as a keen, well-mannered, and scornful through figurative language such as hyperboles.

Firstly, the author shows the main character as a well-mannered gentleman by using a great literary device: personification, the author wrote, ‘so she couldn’t see his small pity and greater contempt’, The main character Theo makes an effort to hide his contempt from his face, this is most likely because he is trying to show the act of courtesy. This makes him a polite gentleman who cares about other people’s inner emotions.

Secondly, the author presented Theo (the main character) as keen and curious by using hyperbole: Theo found that couldn’t keep his eyes off it. The crucial fact is that even though he is horrified by the doll, he is still looking at it, which shows Theo’s curiosity and therefore he is a curious person.

Beside that, the author used the device of minimization to present that Theo is a bit scornful: Theo, more depressed and disgusted by the charade then surely such harmless play-acting justified, was turning away. The word disgusting has bad or, other words, negative connotations, where Theo was expressing hatred towards the doll. The second bit of the phrase I chose was: surely such harmless play-acting justified. This made the doll seem unnatural or monster-like, which also has negative connotation of both the doll and Theo, it has negative connotation on the doll because the words made him/her ugly, and also has negative connotation on Theo  because he is thinking about bad things of the doll, or he could have thought about good things about it but he didn’t, this shows that he is hateful or scornful towards the doll.
