techniques: talk about the tone (philsophical is a good start), the reflective structure

didactic - leads to deeper understanding

erm, the thread was specifically asking for "town where time stands still"

 

[elliottdale]

was doing study for this today,

ensure you talk about the spiritual pilgrimage "seek an external geography to act on their internal pshcology" examines this... also look at binary opposition do tell if you need more

techniques:

1. balanced sentences
2. written as a formal 3rd person stance
3. didactic
4. catharctic writting
5. alliteration ("profit and pleasure"
6. first person
7. informalisation

......hope that was what you were looking for...... you couldn't help me out with frontline could you? if your studying that?

Some of the ones I used were:

1. Successive juxtaposition ie. ''humans hope to be moved rather than to move. They seek an external geography that will act on their internal psychology''

2. Compulsive expressions eg: ''unconscious, compulsion'', ''irresistible force''

3. Didactic language makes it clear that the piece is intended for an educated, adult readership

4. Spiritual jargon eg: ''blessed and altered''

That's all I can remember atm. Hope that helped.
