Is there a technique in this?
It's for module C - landscapes
"There was poetry in this forsaken service station"

You could look at the atypical association of 'poetry' with a 'service station' - a place that's normally associated with gritty/commonplace/quotidian/prosaic mundanity (laying on the vocab here in case you need some alternate terminology to draw from ;) ).
Or, you could look at the sibilance (hissing 's' sound) in "this forsaken service station" and how that creates a sense of languid lethargy (...not sure how relevant this is to the text as a whole though!) Though the line kind of proves itself correct by saying 'there's poetry in ____' <--and then using particular techniques to describe the thing. And then maybe you could use this to build up to some conclusion about the way the speaker can see the hidden beauty in otherwise "forsaken" and abandoned/ignored/unappreciated landscapes :)

This is a great quote for the representation of landscapes!! I am doing Art of Travel as well for Mod C and this is one of my quotes I have committed to memory.
I cant remember the exact page, but make sure (seeing as it is a multimodal text) that you are talking about the accompanying image/artwork as well! This will make your essay really sing :)
The only technique I can find is sibilance as outlined by Lauren (I dont think the rhyming "forsaken" and "station" is a technique) but this is a great quote as it contrasts the unexpected nature of landscapes with the representation of beauty can be found wherever one looks.
On this point, do we have to remember the chapter (I-IX) it is from? Or is the quote just fine?

The quote is always fine on its own, there's no need for any chapters/page numbers/scene numbers etc. Assume that your marker knows your text well enough that they know exactly where the quote is found :)

Well I know that the marker knows where it is. Will they penalise me though if I dont show them that I know where it is?
Likewise: do i need act or act/scene references for Shakespeare? Because I was told we should remember them..

Nope, you won't be penalised and act/scene references aren't compulsory either.

Ok thanks for that :)
Now I can actually focus on the quotes more, not just the references

Thanks for the clarification Sarah! Just confirming that I've gotten full marks in Shakespeare essays without scene numbers and act numbers, so you definitely won't be penalised in any way for that! Should make tonight a little easier ;)

Hi
I'm studying Art of Travel as well and was wondering if there are any techniques in the lines
"memory was in this respect similar to anticipation: an instrument of simplification and selection"
and "we hear little of how and why we should go"
Thanks

Hey! I'm a tad stumped by these quotes, so take what I've said below with a grain of salt. But if you're desperate for techniques for tomorrow then just try your best to throw some of these in and really focus on fleshing out your explanation part of your analysis:
"memory was in this respect similar to anticipation: an instrument of simplification and selection"
- a bit of sibliance with the "simplication and selection" -
- you could possibly stretch the "instrument" part to being a metaphor...
"we hear little of how and why we should go"
- inclusive language and repetition of "we"

Maybe you could talk about the personification of "memory" as an "instrument"?
And not too sure about the second one

Thank you. I can add those in with the other quotes and techniques I have

Great stuff Sarah and AFix! ;D
