Analysis of Exposure Wilfred Owen
ââ¬Å"Crickets jingle here. â⬠Onomatopoeia This sentence was described in the lines where the soldier had a flash back where he used to live. Jingle is like a sound of a bell vibrating, like in occasions in Christmas which is the most important holiday in England. When the people hear the bell jingle; itââ¬â¢s echoing and creating a melody and some kind of music inside the sound. The writerââ¬â¢s linking the crickets with the jingle sound could be because the crickets sound also echo and create some kind of melody, and usually summer, you should find crickets jingle everywhere.The sound effect in this case would be Owen wanted to create the sounds that are familiar to the people in England. ââ¬Å"The night is silence. â⬠Metaphor Silence is the absent of sound. It tells us in the dark sky, the soldier also has to face the problem he has to look towards nothing and thereââ¬â¢s a complete silence. The quote describes the place in an atmospheric way, and thereâ⬠â¢s not much to discuss about. ââ¬Å"The flickering gunnery rumbles. Onomatopoeia Thereââ¬â¢s a consonance of the r sound in this quote which is not a hard sound, yet a soft sound. I might be that the writer wanted the rhythm to slow down perhaps. The quote described clearly the image of the gunnery when the soldierââ¬â¢s using it. ââ¬Å"Sudden successive flights of bullets streak out the silence. â⬠Alliteration The quote has the alliteration of the s sound in the word sudden and successive.S is a hard sound so this helps emphasize the flights of bullet tearing the silence. The quote help raise questions in the reader: Has the battle begin again? ââ¬Å"Worried by the silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous,â⬠Metaphor The sibilance of the repeated ââ¬Ësââ¬â¢ sound creates the effect of whispering, an attempt to not draw the attention of the enemy, who are futilely using flares to see what is going on. The S sound creates like fussing sound.
