Look in detail at this extract, from lines 10 to 19 of the source:
I am not one to hold a prejudice against any animal, but it is a plain fact that the
spotted hyena is not well served by its appearance. It is ugly beyond redemption.
Its shaggy, coarse coat is a bungled mix of colours, with the spots having none of
the classy ostentation of a leopard’s, they look rather like the symptoms of a skin
disease. The head is broad and too massive, with a high forehead, like that of a
bear, but suffering from a receding hairline, and with ears that look ridiculously
mouse-like, large and round, when they haven’t been torn off in battle. The mouth
is forever open and panting. The nostrils are too big. The tail is scraggly and
unwagging. All the parts put together look doglike, but like no dog anyone would
want as a pet.
How does the writer use language here to describe the hyena’s appearance?
You could include the writer’s choice of:
• words and phrases
• language features and techniques
• sentence forms.
