In the story "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine," we learn about Lilias. She is an Indian girl. For a short period of time, her family welcomes a Pakistani professor called Mr. Pirzada. Mr. Pirzada is kind and friendly to her, and the two become very close.
Lilias becomes more interested in the war because she met Mr. Pirzada. This allows her to put a face to the news. Moreover, Mr. Pirzada's family is still in Pakistan, and this worries him and her greatly. This deeper interest represents a change in Lilias way of thinking. It shows that the girl is becoming more understanding and empathetic. It also shows that Lilias is becoming more mature.
The excerpt from “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall which is an example of sensory imagery is <u>“brushed her night-dark hair.”</u>
“Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall is a poem which is a conversation between a mother and daughter about a 'Freedom March' which will be happening on the streets of Birmingham. The daughter wishes to attend the march but her mother restricts her to go there and tells her about the dangers of going there. Instead, she sends her daughter to Church which is a safe place. But unfortunately, a bombing happens in the church in which the mother finds her daughter dead. She falls prey to the act of racism.
The line“brushed her night-dark hair” appeals to both the sense of touch and sight in the poem.
