Language and Style of writing in the short story of Everything's Arranged

1. LANGUAGE & STYLE
WRITING
BY: ASPASIA & EDDY

2. Language
The point of view is based on the third person point of view. This is
because the narrator does not participate in this short story as one of
the characters, but the narrator lets us know exactly how the characters
think and feel. This can be seen when the narrator uses the pronoun he,
she, and they to represent the characters in the short story.
For example,
– “it was way past nine o’clock by the time Rukumani and her father
arrived home”.
– “they were also tempted to do rather dangerous things”.

3. This short story mostly doesn't use proper grammar in its dialogue and
monologue between the characters. The author uses Malaysia
-English (Manglish). This shows how Malaysians usually talk in
English.
For example
- "Can send to Amy's house what." (You can send it to Amy's house.)
- "Can just put Miss Amy Wong." (You can just put Miss Amy Wong.)
- "See ah, my sisters all, ..." (As you can see, all my sisters, ...)

4. Hyperbole: Outrageous exaggeration
e.g "...Johnny chew, who was regarded with respect as the walking
economics bible."
Personification: Giving human characteristics to non-human things
e.g "Two sorrowful eyes looked steadily at Rukumani for signs of shame."
Onomatopoeia: Sound to represents word
e.g "...she was shooed away by her mother."
Symbolism: A word that has a meaning on its own but used to represent
something else.
e.g "spiritual moon" symbolises the love of Ruku & Deva
Simile: Compares two things using 'like' or 'as'
eg "Train journey boring like hell."
