Uddrag
The extract from the preface to “The Shepherd’s Life: A Tale of the Lake District by James Rebanks” is about James Rebanks’ life growing up.

It’s about how people from the outside, look at the people living with old traditions in the British foothills.

How the outside world came to love nature and changed their perspective on the mountainous corner of north-west England, through writers and artists during the Romantic period.

---

A lot of people and societies look down on farmworkers, joiners, brickies, electricians, hairdressers, and people wanting to stay in valleys and foothills.

In this short excerpt James Rebanks makes a passionate case for staying in the valleys and foothills. He wants to show the qualities of the British landscapes and what it has to offer.

The language of the excerpt is creative, and he makes use of tone, simile, repetition, long sentences, and more.

His tone is passionate, yet still filled with emotion. He writes passionately about the landscapes and gets emotional when people talk about Lake District.
