We explore the complexities of language and how a writer crafts a text for meaning. We examine both language features and structural devices to affect how the message is delivered.  Language features might include metaphor and simile, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, the rule of 3, and use of the senses.  Structural devices could include variations to s\u003c\/span\u003eentence structures, change of tempo, repetition or listing, change of time or shifts in focus, the narrative perspective, and uses of dialogue.  The course enables you to comment incisively on books and literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e8a3e4ea-7fff-1d45-7c5a-c13b43c53543\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-f39f2da5-7fff-5f4e-cce6-c4e272515549\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e  The course includes some or all of the following extracts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.915%; height: 284.773px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol style=\"width: 39.9287%;\" width=\"224\"\u003e \u003ccol style=\"width: 33.8681%;\" width=\"190\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtract\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJamaica Inn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDaphne du Maurier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Silk Factory \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJudith Allnatt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrighton Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGraham Greene\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJigs and Reels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJoanne Harris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Tiredness of Rosabel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKatherine Mansfield\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLabyrinth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKate Mosse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Sound of Thunder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 35.5966px;\" scope=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRay Bradbury\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"m_-4107098978290820361gmail-docs-internal-guid-d9887d74-7fff-795c-afad-1d9333daa2c7\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeoff says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This course is a great way to develop your skills of noticing language and understanding how the author has created characters, atmosphere and drama.

Participants develop their literary analysis skills, interpreting a wide range of texts, including modern and older literary works. We explore the complexities of language and how a writer crafts a text for meaning. We examine both language features and structural devices to affect how the message is delivered.  Language features might include metaphor and simile, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, the rule of 3, and use of the senses.  Structural devices could include variations to s\u003c\/span\u003eentence structures, change of tempo, repetition or listing, change of time or shifts in focus, the narrative perspective, and uses of dialogue.  The course enables you to comment incisively on books and
