hwln (how we live now) analysis: quote extracted from: close to home by jinny koh

Point:
Jinny effectively portrays Nicky's deep anxiety and fear towards his mother as he grapples with her deteriorating health by masterfully employing inner conflict to express as such.

Evidence:
“I will talk non stop, filling the gaps of silence with my mindless chatter”
“Each time her eyes closed, i feared they might never open again”

symbolism/metaphor: Silence, something which is usually regarded as a space for introspection, is here however, now being transformed into a void which must be filled at all costs. By symbolising silence with metaphorical “gaps”, the narrative suggests Nicky’s underlying anxiety about the unknown future ahead for the mother’s current ovarian cancer condition. Nicky’s “mindless chatter” so as to “fill the gaps” suggests a superficial level of conversation, although mundane and unnecessary, masks a sense of deeper emotions and thoughts of anxiety for his mother. This anxiety is evident when he says that he “feared that each time her eyes closed, i (Nicky) feared they might never open again”

juxtaposition: The use of juxtaposition between the contrasting ideas about the ‘’eyes closed’’, which suggests a temporary state and ‘’never open again’’, which suggests a permanent state creates a very stark contrast that heightens a sense of fear and vulnerability within Nicky as it hints towards a sense of fear and vulnerability of a tragic outcome - his mother passing on right at the moment when he is around. Additionally, there is also a subtle use of foreshadowing in the action of his mother’s eyes closing and the thought of her being dead creates an extra sense of fear and dread within Nicky.

Link and conclusion: Thus, the use of symbolisation of the ‘’gaps’’ and juxtaposition between the mother’s condition emphasises the fact about his attempts to fill these silent moments with constant chatter, demonstrating an attempt to drown out these unsettling emotions - manifested in Nicky’s desperate attempt to maintain a constant flow of conversation. Nicky’s attempt in incessant talking has now become like a defence mechanism. He believes that this frantic attempt would prevent the emergence of unsettling thoughts or emotions that might reside in these silent spaces so as to ward off feelings of grief and fear. Ironically however, this constant mental juggling between maintaining conversation and suppressing fear actually amplifies his anxiety as shown in him thinking about the extreme scenario of his mother passing on. This underscores a strong negative inner conflict that Nicky is going through which evokes sympathy within the reader as they relate and sense the desperate attempts and reactions to cope with his very own worry and fear for his mother.

revise for Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet or ANY otherworldly books with these simple steps <3

#dramabooknotes@litnotesunderground
#freelitnotes@litnotesunderground

ᯓ★ focus on understanding key scenes, not the whole book at once
shakespeare looks overwhelming because of the language, but the final exams usually tests the major turning points - e.g. conflict scenes, love scenes, or scenes where someone makes a big decisions (basically very general things)
once you understand the key moments, everything else actually becomes easy to follow.

ᯓ★ learn to translate the lines into your own words
you DON’T need to understand every single word.
the skill is learning to read impactful lines → restate it in simple English → then unpack the quote like you would usually do!

ᯓ★ don’t memorise too many quotes, memorise useful quotes
short and versatile quotes are the best because you can use them in ANY essay.
(Eg in Shakespeare, things like metaphors, contrasts, repeated motifs.)

ᯓ★ identify the big themes and link quotes to them
(to save time you could even use character quotes if applicable!)
For Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet) there are themes such as:
- fate vs free will
- love vs hate
- conflict
- loyalty
- youth & impulsiveness
These themes repeat a lot, so once you know them, you can reuse the same quotes in multiple questions.

ᯓ★ just keep practising and unpacking literary devices quickly :)
shakespeare plays love using lit devices such as:
- metaphor
- personification
- imagery
- antithesis
- oxymoron
once you recognise these, just analyse and unpack the quote!

ᯓ★ do timed practice (time management is very impt!!)
practice makes perfect!! the more timed essays you try, the easier it becomes to look past the language and focus on it’s ideas and effects.

finally, you have me to help you unpack quotes if u ever need help :3
