      I'd personally recommend the ones you find the hardest to remember, this way you get a middle ground on all just encase one you didnt revise pops up

    This was my analysis any feedback?
    Armitage presents the effect of war mentally damaging as there was," a sweating, unexploded mine buried deep in his mind", this links back to the fact that Eddie suffers from PTSD from the war. The word 'Mine' is used to link back to war and to war. It also has connotation that if the wife steps on it or is not gentle with it, it could explode and cause destruction in his mind. Armitage also presents war as mentally damaging as he," every nerve in his body had tightened and closed,' connotes that he is trying to close up and hide his mental health which could link to the repeated word choice, "only then" which implies that in stages she tried to open these nerves up and take the pressure of them.​

    Armitage presents war as physically damaging too as Eddie had a, "Damaged, porcelain collar bone," the language choice used could be used to emphasise the fragility of Eddies body. He also described that Eddie has a "fractured rudder of shoulder blade," the word rudder could link to the fact he has lost his control and he does not know where to go.​

    Armitage also represents war as controlling as there was a," foetus of metal beneath his chest where the bullet has finally come to rest," the word foetus connotes that it is growing and gaining control over his body. The personification used by saying the,' Bullet finally came to rest" is a part of the war semantic field, this may link to the fact that these memories have came to rest and they were not going to budge

      I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that any time soon, I'm afraid! I've already committed to two large series of videos, which are going to take me quite a bit of time over the next few months!
