You need to show people pictures to make them care but the more they see the more normal it becomes
Themes Pick 3 themes: war, death, emotion, relationships, contrast, memory, effect of the past on the present How are they developed in the poem? Pick at least 1 quotation for each theme
Quotations Pick 5 quotations: a half formed ghost Identify 2 techniques used in each quotation: word choice, metaphor Explain literal and deeper meaning of the technique: Literally means that the photo is not fully developed and so the image is transparent. Just as a ghost is an entity that haunts people so too the photographer cannot escape his memories of the man dying and it causes him fear and upset. The word choice of half- formed suggests that it is not complete possibly showing he is trying to block out the most painful parts of his memory What effect does it create? This creates the effect that the photographer has been disturbed by his experiences and cannot escape the things he has seen. The horrors of war have changed him forever.
