When you are analysing quotations in the exam, try to zoom in on individual words!

- What technique has Ishiguro used? E.g. verb, simile, imagery, etc.

- What are the connotations of this word? What does it suggest about the character/theme?

- What effect does this have on the audience?

- How does it help to reflect something about the context in which Ishiguro was writing?
