Show transcript
Analysing methods helps us to consider the effect the writer is trying to have on the reader. Comparing the methods used helps us understand the writers' craft and how it relates to meaning. Both Dickens and Day use "crammed"; however Day uses juxtaposition to lessen the chaotic atmosphere. Dickens enhances the overwhelming atmosphere through listing and onomatopoeia. Day creates a calmer atmosphere by avoiding the use of listing and onomatopoeia.
