Taking on the World by Ellen Mac Arthur Analysis.

An Essay to analyse an Extract From Taking On the knowledge base By Ellen MacArthur By Sophie Tulloch 10S1 Throughout the piece of writing, Taking on the human being Dame Ellen MacArthur communicates fear in a lot of different ways, utilise a lot of different techniques. During this analytical essay I give analyse how she did this and the effect it had. One way that she communicates fear is by use punctuation creatively, an example of this is when she says, It would not be difficult to break get up up there When using an ellipsis, it often indicates that there is unfinished product line by doing this it creates suspense and helps keep the reader enthralled in writing. furthermore it also creates a pause leaving the fate of Ellen MacArthur mingling in the readers mind, I find this effective as it emphasis the riskiness of the traffic she is about to do. I addition this is also early on in the text an it help bring the readers attention dedication and isolation of her.The mo re or less effective device I feel that was used was a prosopopoeia an example of this is when Ellen MacArthur writes the mast slices By using personification it emphasizes that she has very little go steady over the boat while she is up the mast. The word slice has a faster pace and a sharper sound than the rest of the linguistic process around it I think this helps represent the simpleness and easiness of such a endangermentous movement can lead to a pestilential consequence. By doing this it creates suspense and transfix the audience keeping their focus.The last terminus that I will cover is Nautical terms an example of tis is when she state You cant ease the sheets or take a take down The reason that she does this is because her target audience is the sailing community therefore it would be easier to just use these terms rather than explain the whole thing. From some other point of view she could have done this to emphasis the complicatedness of her embark plus it intr oduces the Idea that you do not only have to be physically capable and smart you need to be mentally cognisant nd educated on the surroundings. Although this is quite a small discrimination I think that it would have a big impact on the audience as this shows the gap between everybody elses knowledge and hers. In final result I think that this piece of writing was very well indite and the literary devices used help subtly emphasis and introduce the danger and fear of Ellen MacArthurs journey.
