In my opinion, I believe now that we have met the father properly, the impression he gives to us is that he is quite a serious and secretive person. An example that conveys this thought is,” They’re nothing to do with you. You have nothing whatsoever in common with them.” This portrays the message of how he is dodging questions and perhaps that something is going on that Bruno does not know of. Secondly, I have also mentioned serious and strict, purely of how he is a commandant of something critical. This is demonstrated when it states in the text,” It is clear commandant,father held a hand, immediately… to fall silent,conductor of a barbershop quartet(…).” This suggests and creates the image of the importance of his job as a high-ranking officer. To achieve the parse badge, I will analyse one quote that I have mentioned from the book itself as evidence to back it up.

The quote-”Just settle into your home and be good, that’s all I ask.”

Main clause- ”Just settle into your home and be good,(…)”

The punctuation used are a full stop to end the sentence, a comma to separate the subordinate clause and main clause, an apostrophe to cover words that are shortened just like abbreviations and obviously of course speech marks to quote evidence from the book to back up my point.

The tense is the present tense and the person is for this only and other mentioning of father which is just now first person.

The word class is detailed yet also varies. ”Just,” emphasises the importance and is a modal verb to emphasise the criticality of what he is doing.”That’s all I ask,” seems as if he is desperate and that the decision that he has made is not the best he has done so far. ”Settle,” means to adjust to a particular area or surrounding.
