Uddrag
Besides using pathos Ben Okri uses low style, subjective writing style, and spoken language as a linguistic feature.
The spoken language comes to notice when are being serious about the topic then he uses the word ‘’we’’ because he wants the population to stand together and make some change - ‘’We know what to do.
We must tear out the unconscious racism in our spirit. We must insist on the human rights of all peoples. We let people live their freedom […] and it is rich with the possibilities for change’’ .
The subjective writing style comes to notice when he in the start of the text mentions his own experience and stances with this topic ‘’Never in my lifetime has the case of such visible injustice moved white and black people, moved them as human beings’’ .
The low writing style comes to be notice as he uses short sentences and a simple vocabulary.
