well with language techniques, i have quite a bit in my book so ill type some stuff up. It's really basic and choppy, jsut basic notes, but i think you could expand on a few points quite a lot.
:)

The fact that it is a memoir allows for reflection and reminiscent tone and an understanding of events. It allows Gaita to look back on memories from his childhood and see htem in a new light, the text could most definatly be considered sometimes romanticised.

It's written in retrospect - eulogy, this purpose is clearly exposed in the Gaita clearly makes the book about his father with little information about his personal life later, all/most events involve Romulus.

The book focuses on events that illustrate his fathers temperament and allows an evaluation of Romulus and Gaitas' bond

It has a certain lyrical quality, which is evident in his lush landscape imagery.

The lack of dialogue and direct quotes allow the responder to feel more included within the text

The simplistic/ precise and effective language/ description and the fact that Gaita does not embellish events to much which makes the book an easy, simple and beutiful read communicating the main ideas a lot clearer.

Symbolism and motifs present through out the book - mental illness, setting, connection with animals and land, family

Central irony - the memoir allows Gaita to attempt to search for his own identitym autobiographical

analytical and rather detached - philosophical, Gaitas personal context (a main contributer to ones sense of belonging) influences his approach to writing the novel. - Gaitas level of education is evident and conversations rarely border on colloqiual

hope that all helped!! :)

Re: Belonging - Romulus, My Father

I bought this really good book.
It's like a little study guide/cheat book.
by Top Notes on Romulus my father.

it was only $12 at dymmocks and contains chapter by chapter analysis, character analysis, language analysis, thematic concerns, practice essay question ideas for other texts and the most useful quotes in the book in backing up ideas and notions of belonging.

a good 12 dollars spent. :)

Lolz.
Dont the bees convey Romulus' compassionate and caring nature as he helps humans, animals and even the smallest of things, such as the bees. It shows his humanity and character.
