decisionthatthe narrator hasmade.‘I had not
thought’ispast tense thiscouldbe himchanging
hismindfromthe pastdecisionthathe had made.
Tone and its effects – talking aboutmoods
which are evoked and where, narrative voice
‘theybeckontome’ Encouragingthe son to perhapspassintothe
afterlife.Thishasa verycalm tone and has a very
slowpace dreamyatmosphere,whichcouldbe
implyingthatthe parentsaren’tforcinghimto
come overand that theyare ‘leisurely’waitingfor
himwheneverhe isready.
‘see where the streampathis!...notas hard as
youmightthink’ Thiscouldbe the parentsencouraginghissonnot
to give intodeathas there will alwaysbe a‘path’
to the otherside,whatevertime he wants,orthe
suddenchange intone and characterisationof the
parentspresentsamore forceful tone to
encourage the childtocross the streamand join
