the water genie

Understanding:

-the bathroom door was open and the light was on, and as haroun watched
He saw, silhouetted in the open doorway, a figure almost too
Astonishing for words.

-while this remarkable monologue was being delivered, Haroun Khalifa move
his head very, very slowly, until half an eye was looking around the door- jamb into the bathroom: where he saw a small, ancient-looking man, no bigger than himself, wearing a huge purple turban on his head(that was the onion)
And baggy silk pyjamas gatjered at the ankles (thise were the aubergines).

-this little fellow sported an impressive full set of whiskers, of a most unusual colour: the palest, most delicate shade of sky blue.

Analysis:

Sported
Gathered
Wearing
Delivered
Astonishing

Ext, these words suggesy he is like a fashionable man, very interested in fashion

Securing analysis:

Rhyme= ‘oh, aha, is that where you are?’
Simile= ‘and what looked like a monkey wrench in the other.’
Repetition= ‘hot tap, cold tap’
Alliteration= ‘outsize onion’

a busy place

The sun exploded into the morning sky!
The ruccus of engines starting up and motoring away.
The world was shocked back into life and every,
single thing kickstarted; the city was alive…
One last time.

The darkness hid behind any structure that would
block the light; attempting to just sleep once more;
avoiding the beams of sun, that awaken them
forever. This…

Was a busy city…
