A; Mount Pleasant
Do you remember how it is to be a child? Sometimes it is difficult but it is oftentimes easy and extremely secure. Being a child includes having a different view at the world than from parents or another adult’s point of view. A child is not able to understand everything and is not supposed to do it, this I why parents lie for their children. To protect them from the difficult world and from people and situations that is not necessary for a child to observe. In the text Mount Pleasant the basic thought of being a child is represent.
In the story Mount Pleasant have the writer used a very spectacular type of narrative technique and an unusual language. The story is written by this technique because of the plot in the story. The writer wants us to feel like children when we read the text. This is why Mary-Louise Buxton put us down in the little girl Elizabeth’s point of view and thoughts and makes us watch the story with children eyes. The story Mount Pleasant is written by Mary-Louise Buxton and is about the little girl Elizabeth and her everyday life in her new neighborhood. The story is not characterized as a normal story with the touch of the Hollywood model with an opening, point of no return and at the end a fade-out. The story is only an all normal day from the everyday life of the little girl Elizabeth without any critical moments for an adult, but it might be for a little girl as Elizabeth. The story is written with an explicit first-person narrator and could be seen as a diary from the little girls Elizabeth at age about six-seven years. “He’s maybe nine or ten, not that much older than me” (p.2 l.58). It is difficult to tell her exact age because of her spoken language is more like to be younger than the age of six-seven years. “Eeny meeny miny mo” (p. 2 l. 1) is a rhyme used by very young children, but this rhyme does also determine that the language is very childish and therefore humorous because we can relate it to real life
