7 Prayer Before Birth and analysing!
Zoom in on MacNeice’s use of language to present an idea. Zoom in on the narrative tense and person used. Zoom in on the adjectives, nouns, verbs and adverbs used. Zoom in on the structural devices (punctuation marks, sentence lengths and repetition) used.

8 ZOOM IN! Comment on the words chosen – look closely at the specific ones underlined Consider the structural devices used and the punctuation used. “I am not yet born; O fill me With strength against those who would freeze my humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton, would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with one face, a thing, and against all those who would dissipate my entirety, would blow me like thistledown hither and thither or hither and thither like water held in the hands would spill me”

I am not yet born; O fill me With strength against those who would freeze my humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton, would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with one face, a thing, and against all those who would dissipate my entirety, would blow me like thistledown hither and thither or hither and thither like water held in the hands would spill me
