hey,
these are my notes on sky high. they're pretty vague, but they might help you get started:
- changes in the writer
* physically - she is larger - in the last paragraph - "...but it is unlikely the washing line could support me now, there are too many things tying me to the ground" as well as the fact she can now "easily touch the sagging wires", whereas when she was younger she had to "pull herself up"; and also the aging of her skin, from in paragraph two "smooth sweat damp hands" to in the last one "my hands, beginning to accumulate the line etched story of life in scars and wrinkles"
* emotionally - the quote "...but it is unlikely the washing line could support me now, there are too many things tying me to the ground" could also be interpreted as she now has responsibilities as an adult, and is not as carefree as she was in her youth, and also that as she has grown older, society has conditioned her views on what is accepted behaviour, that is, as an 18-year-old, it would be seen as slightly strange to be swinging around a hills hoyst, not to mention dangerous, but as a child she couldn't really care less.
- written in first person, feels more personal to the reader
- tone - reflective, nostalgic, slightly resigned and at times (particularly when reliving her youth) conversational e.g. paragraph 4
- constant change in tense (from past to present). she often talks about the past in the present tense.
- personification of washing line "silver skeletal arms", "older and lines are sagged"
i hope this helps! if you have any questions/need anything else, just ask, because we've done alot of work on the stimulus booklet
