(Language use)
1. Repetitive use of the adverb “immer” (always) conveying the message of being stuck in a routine. (,,Er arbeitet viel?”, fragte ich und sie sagte: ,,Immer.” / ,,Immer”, sagte er / Dámis schien wirklich immer viel zu arbeiten / und ich ging einfach immer an den Strand) N.B. Two language examples from text required.
2. Use of direct speech for Dámis only, suggesting a one way communication and a silent brewing over matters on the narrator’s part // No use of direct speech for the narrator when relating to Dámis’s use of short statements describing silent responses “Ich nickte (2x) / Ich schüttelte den Kopf”, bar one meaningful exception when she replies to his question “Are you going to the beach today?” with “Only if you are working today”
3. use of italics “seine anderen Gäste” drawing the reader’s attention to the meaning of the phrase: The narrator is just another guest in Damis’ life as a waiter, nothing else.
