Setting the scene through language choices

Unfortunately, the majority of you did not complete your homework from last week (even though you had about five days in which to do so) which means that you are now required to catch up on the missed work and keep up to date with all future work as well.

Tonight's homework is fairly simple, in that it requires you to go back to the Prologue of Alice Pung's Unpolished Gem and write a paragraph that discusses how the author utilises language choices to construct the colourful atmosphere of the market and the interaction between Alice's father, the stall holders and other customers. In your paragraph, you should aim to explore how Pung positions the audience to view the market place and its customers though her use of language.

Your paragraph needs to be proof-read and edited before you place it on your blog and the task must be completed by tomorrow's lesson.
