Maclaverty thing for davith

there you go david ass hole lolAdditionally, MacLaverty’s writing demonstrates a good insight into the rapproachment between Neil and Michael near the end of the story. MacLaverty’s understanding of their relationships was described throughout the story by the use of conversation and the feeling that the characters experienced. I think that this is compelling to read because of the variety of relationships in the story and it keeps the reader interested. It changes from hostile to friendly, plenty to keep to the reader interested. The use of “they have finally connected” have in italics suggests Neil and Michael finally connected and became friends with each other because before that they would hardly ever talk and Michael always wanted to go swimming. He didn’t know about Neil’s disease and was saying things like “he must be some kind of freak to not want to come in swimming”. Micheal also said this to his sister, not realising that there was something wrong with Neil. This I think was a cruel and unkind thing to say considering he did not know that Neil had a disease. Close to the end when Michael finds out about Michaels disease he finally begins to understand Neil.
In conclusion MacLaverty’s grasp of the language and the characters is overwhelming. MacLaverty’s striking prose creates a deep empathy with the characters for the reader. There is sensuous imagery throughout the story. Then there is the use of metaphors like “rode the breakers” and the use of similes such as “like a shadow.” One great example of language is “large curling walls glass green” which is a great image of waves, a concise description and shows his understanding of language and devices. Another metaphor “heat corrugating the air” effectively conveys the pattern caused by hot temperatures. I like the way he describes objects that are bland and makes them colourful and interesting. This illustrates great understanding of language. The short story uses a lot of adjectives and descriptive words and overall I enjoyed it very much.
