PREVIEWIn the prose passage, several literary
devices are employed to enhance the
reader's understanding and create a vivid
depiction of Samantha's surroundings and
emotions. These devices work together to
immerse the reader in the scene and
convey the atmosphere of the setting. Here
are five key literary devices found in the
passage:
• Imagery: Imagery plays a crucial role
in the passage, as it helps to create a
visual and sensory experience for the
reader. Phrases such as "The
curlews circled down, down, down
like revolving wheels" and "stream
that passed near the nesting area
splashed and swished" paint a
picture of the natural environment.
This imagery allows the reader to

visualize the scene and understand
the peacefulness and beauty of
Samantha's surroundings.

, Question 1.

Text 1 - Prose
The curlews circled down, down, down like revolving wheels. Crying and calling to
their young hiding in the grass, which peeped softly in return. The stream that
passed near the nesting area splashed and swished as it crawled over the small
stones that lined its bed. A breeze lightly touched the field and the reeds along the
stream bowed and bobbed as if paying their respects. Samantha watched this scene
contemplatively as she sat on the fence at the bottom of the field slowly swinging her
legs. She had come to stay with her aunt who live in the grim, grey farmhouse which
seemed to squat and frown behind her. At twelve years old, Samantha was slim with
large soulful, sad eyes. Her hair, lion tawny, made her hazel eyes appear amber.
Strands of her hair drifted on the breeze touching her like cobwebs. She stared at the
stream which blinked and twinkled like sequin, like those on her mother’s frivolous
evening gown. Samantha had been unceremoniously left at her aunt’s whilst her
parents went away on holiday. She could still hear the ghastly gaiety of her mother’s
laugh as the two of them drove away. Her aunt had always made Samantha uneasy.
She had beady, bright eyes like a magpie, was twig thin, with long taloned hands
with which she, scratch, scratch, scratched at herself. At night
Samantha was convinced it was her aunt’s talons that squealed and scraped down
the bedroom windowpane, a threat which frightened her. It made sleep difficult. An
early riser, Samantha could escape through the kitchen door and head for the
comfort of the field. Sitting in today’s soft sunlight provided Samantha with a sense of
peace and turning her head she could see the trees on the far end of the field that
lay outside of the fence. These trees were looking at her, of this Samantha was
convinced, like protective parents.
