PLAN
1 - Admiration for country
2 - Admiration for people
3 - Negative west
“piling“ “pinching“ “poking“
harsh verbs + plosive alliteration = power of landscape over Zeppa
“all and only mountains” + “mountains, more mountains and more mountains again“
hyperbolic description + repetition = impact of landscape + tone of wonder (awe-stuck narration)
depth of description = piece catered for ignorant western audience
“Lotus Grove of the Gods”
glorifies natural beauty
knowledge of names = respect to country
“without blueprints or nails.“
admiration of local’s skills
lack of westernisation = connection to nature
“almond-shaped eyes“
use of almond = connection to nature
distinct looks = isolation from west
“plasticky white bread“
western influence
negative view of food, mirrors Zeppa’s view on west
false unauthentic ‘plasticky’ = artificiality of west
“cultural infiltration“
negative phrasing = corrupting force of west
martial imagery = power of west
“admiration for this small country“
conclusion following historical anecdote
personal account form = can express awe-struck experience + own view on westernisation
“small” = vulnerability to persuasive westernisation, implied fear of loosing isolated beauty
