Spies - memory

I've tried to set it out as P.E.E to help when writing essays.

  • memory
    • SENSORY LANGUAGE
      • sense memories are vivid throughout the novel - for example, the sound of the train, Lighter and themes of the past fading into the present.
        • p13 - I can feel in my finger tips, as the scaliness as the snake (buckle), the hopelessness bagginess of the failed   garter beneath the turned down top.
          • The vivid details help to recreate the scene so the reader can feel like they are there and to help the Old Stephen Wheatley remember how things linked together.
    • The old Stephen has a fragmented memory.
      • The problem the Old Stephen has is he can remember what happened but not WHY it happened.
        • He tries to tackle this by asking rhetorical questions:"I feel...what?"
          • This makes the reader wonder we can actually trust Stephen and whether he could be wrong about some parts of the novel.
    • INTRUSIVE NARRATOR
      • This is where the narrator interrupts himself while telling the novel to make sure he is telling key information correctly
        • "No wait..I've got that wrong."
          • Stephen is questioning himself to make sure he is telling the story correctly. This automatically shows that he has a fragmented memory but it also makes the reader trust him less...If he was wrong about that what else may he be wrong about...?
    • THE ELLIPSES
      • Fran uses an ellipses to show that Stephen has a fragmented memory. He does his as it shows time passing when Stephen is trying to piece parts together.
        • "Liguster...."
          • This shows that the old Stephen Wheatley is trying to remember exactly what it was that this smell reminds him of. He knows he recognises the smell but can't work out where from.
    • FRAYN'S MANIPULATION OF TENSE AND NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVE - OLD/ YOUNG STEPHEN
      • During chapter 2 Stephen speaks about himself in third person and narrates past events using present tense.
        • "Stephen hurriedly stuffs his feet over the metal bars"
          • He is talking about himself in past tense to show to the reader that he can remember himself doing this but he can't recall why he's doing his.

I don't usually use software to spy on people, but I recently bought my child her first phone and since she's still young, I'm quite worried that it won't affect her in a bad way, especially social networks. I found here https://theteensafe.com/whatsapp-spy/ how to track my daughter's phone and now I can be calm that nothing bad will happen.
