Private Peaceful: text analysis

Highlighted extracts of text from Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. Highlighting indicates aspects of language (linked to AF5 reading) which demonstrate the way in which recruitment was carried out at the start of the First World War. Notably the first extract is descriptive, with a positive view of being a soldier, with the second a more negative view portrayed by the recruitment sergeant about the implications of not joining up. This work links nicely to Propaganda poster work.
