Jamaica – Writers Effect

In this Text, a young writer explains us about his feelings when he left Jamaica, his birthplace, for Cambridge, to study. In my opinion the writer expresses his feelingsby using very affective words and he even tends to use Poetry.

Repeating words to emphasize them as “home, yet home” shows his Poetry.

At the end of the passage he uses irony, at the start of paragraph 7. “Lucky...
