Identify 3 examples of emotive language
He would very much like to feel his father's hand on his shoulder again. 
Now he doesn't care if anyone hears him play or not. 
He will do this for twenty-two days, a day for each person killed. 

What is the tone of the excerpt (author’s attitude towards what he is writing about) and what mood does this suggest (overall feeling of the text)?
 In my opinion, the overall feeling of this text is quite melancholic as there are quite a few sad uses of emotive language throughout the text. 


    Identify an example of imagery from the passage (when something is described in vivid detail, making it easy to imagine) and explain its effect on the reader. How effective do you find it?
    Then the visible world explodes.
