Putting it all together<br />
When completing your <strong>annotations</strong>, refer to a specific language example or textual feature,<br />
and explain how it works and why you have included it. Remember:<br />
WHAT HOW WHY<br />
Consider the following example:<br />
I emerge from the water, unsteady<br />
but invigorated. My skin is purple and<br />
puckered, reminiscent of the turkey<br />
waiting in the kitchen. I stagger up the<br />
beach to a warm towel, a warm hug<br />
and a warm Thermos.<br />
Through the use of literal and figurative<br />
imagery, I have created a vivid picture of<br />
the character’s appearance by describing<br />
how they look and providing a connecting<br />
image (the turkey). This conveys the<br />
physical impact of the swim on the<br />
character, while also rein<strong>for</strong>cing the<br />
overall Christmas setting of the piece.<br />
