The book King Rat by James Clavelles. Can anyone help me analyze this?
Can anyone help me how to analyze this passage of how the writer used the traits to convey the message.
"changi was set like a pearl on the eastern tip of Singapore Island,iridescent under the bowl of tropical skies. it stood on a slight Rise and around it was a belt of green, and farther off the green gave way to the blue green seas and the seas to infinity o horizon.
Closer, Changi in lost It's beauty and became what it was an obscene forbidding prison. Cellblocks surrounded by sun baked courtyards surrounded by towering walls.
Inside the walls,inside the cellblocks, story on story,'were cells for two thousand prisoners at capacity. Now in the cells and in the passageways and in every nook and cranny lived some eight thousand men. English and Australian mostly- a few New Zealanders and Canadians - the remnants of the armed forces of the Far East campaign.
These men too were criminals. Their crime was vast. They had lost a war. And they had lived.
Clavell is contrasting the beauty of the physical location with the harshness of the prison camp. In describing the location, he uses phrases like "set like a pearl" and "belt of green", but in describing that camp he shifts to terms like "sun-baked courtyards" and "towering walls".
