Light Between Words
February, 1944.“This is how an air raid begins: in the dead of night, with the silence and normality shattered by the banshee wail of a siren,”-The sense here is hearing, evident by the phrase “Shattered by the banshee wail of a siren,” further backed up by using the noun, ‘Silence’.
A young girl is awoken by the screeching alarm. She thinks for a second, she gasps as her eyes widen in realisation of what it means, it’s an air raid.~ ~ ~“I roll out of bed and Phillipa’s already on her feet cross from me, white faced and holding out her hand,”-Sight, it is made clear that the sense here is sight with the author writing that Phillipa is white faced, and we are in the perspective of the main character.
ImageA young girl staring at her sister, both frantic, but unmoving, their faces paled, as the siren blares, it is only a ringing in their ears to them, as their conversation is silent, but both are screaming.~ ~ ~“She pulls me close, as if her every pressure can protect me from all danger,”-The sense in the text is touch, the part of the text that says, “, as if her every pressure-” Is implicating that she can feel (Touch) her sister’s tight squeeze around her.
ImageBombs are going of around them, the siren still stabbing at their eardrums, the elder sister pulls the younger one close into a tight hug, the straining on her clothes visible as her sister reciprocates the same action, the elder sisters taller height allows her to bury her face into the youngers hair, as their father is frantic about the mother's absence.~ ~ ~
