![]() Children are stereotyped to say a lot of colloquial language and Michael fits this stereotype. Another point that helps with the childlike tone is the colloquial language. ![]() Yes, Michaels vocabulary does begin to evolve but most of the time he will use simple words. When complex words come to play it is because someone else is saying them. SIMPLE VOCABULARY: In this book Michael only used simple words. This helps the idea of the child being a child because people who are older would usually use passive voice (when the verb is being done by the subject) Active voice is very easy and commonly used hence a child using it. Active voice is when the subject of the sentence does the verb action thus being ‘active’. This fits the tone and thought of a child. The language demonstrated here is every plain and undescriptive. She was sitting there on the lawn, on a spread-out blanket beneath the trees.’ SIMPLE DESCRIPTION: ‘ At lunchtime I went to her front garden. Because of this childlike tone, this gives importance and significance to the character Michael and his perspective on life and also help us see through the eyes of a child. These language choices help the reader to see things through the narrator eyes and understand the character himself. David Almond uses simple vocabulary, active voice, simple description (unless he is describing an object that is important to Michael) to create a childlike tone and hence fitting the character, Michael. One of these ways is the use of language. ![]() ![]() The novel Skellig, written by David Almond develops meaning in a variety of ways. ![]()
