•The prolonged beginning, narrated by a first-grader emphasises how big the world is to children.
•The sentences are long, laced with a lot of punctuation which sounds similar to how young children speak.
• the narrator settled into his ‘frustrated six-year-old silence’ and here, it is emphasised how a six year old communicates when angry, through silence. The author almost mocks this, through the use of sibilance. This proves the worlds ambiguity and how much more the child has to grow.

Colons are not used to introduce lists.
Colons denote "that is to say" or
"here's what I mean."
They make sentences’ first parts not important
rather the sentence’s second part contains the important information.
Here are
some of the rules you could use for colons:
*Colons are uses upon introducing items.
*Do not use capital letters after a colon except if
it’s a proper noun.
*Do not use colons after a verb or preposition.
*For independent clauses, especially when the second
sentence explains the paragraph’s meaning, the use of colon is preferred.
*After a colon: capitalize the first letter of the
first word if it is a complete quotation.
