The main impression I get of the mines is that it’s dangerous.
The workers were given a talk ‘about safety’ and were told ‘rocks could fall and crush.’ The violent verb ‘crush’ suggests the mines are powerful and it would destroy the men if they were ‘careless’ in the mines.

One impression I get of Anna is that she is messy
One impression I get of Anna is that she is messy. Bruce calls her ‘messy and lazy’ and the verb ‘collapsed is used to describe the magazines. The verb ‘collapsed’ suggests there are a great number of magazines that are all over the floor. We are also told her room has a ‘musty odour.’ The adjective ‘musty’ suggests a stale, mouldy smell and ‘odour’ makes it seem a negative aroma. Her presence also ‘lingered’ which suggests she is negative presence that Bruce cannot remove entirely from the room. The verb ‘neglected’ makes it sound like the room has been mistreated for a long time.
13
One impression I get of Anna is that she is selfish.
She left ‘lipstick stains’ on a glass in her room. Even though she was moving out, she didn’t even bother to clear the room and even the stuff inside was unclean.

One impression I get of Anna is that she is selfish.
She left ‘lipstick stains’ on a glass in her room. Even though she was moving out, she didn’t even bother to clear the room and even the stuff inside was unclean. A simile is used to describe her as immature ‘like a child really.’ This suggests Bruce felt like he had to look after her as if she was his daughter.
15
One impression I get of Anna is that she is not liked by Bruce.
‘He had always hated going in there.’ The aggressive verb ‘hated’ makes it sound Bruce had a violent dislike for being around Anna and her room.

One impression I get of Anna is that she is not liked by Bruce
One impression I get of Anna is that she is not liked by Bruce. ‘He had always hated going in there.’ The aggressive verb ‘hated’ makes it sound Bruce had a violent dislike for being around Anna and her room. ‘I encouraged her.’ The verb ‘encouraged’ suggests Bruce actively persuaded Anna to leave as he wanted her to go which makes us think she must have been a rotten flatmate. This also makes Anna seem naïve as she moved out just because someone said she should.
