A Beautiful Game, Thailand

'A Beautiful Game' is a style model of travel writing which is explaining about a mans experince in Thailand. This piece opens with a narrative hook as iy introduces the character as 'Sauntering in the oppressiviley close night'. The verb sauntering shows how uncomfortable he is feeling as he has no energy to continue due to the oppressivley close night which highlights again how distressed he is feeling. The adverb oppressiviley inidicates the air around him is brutally humid which is the reason he isn'r feeling pleasant. He then goes on to explain how he ended up at the seafront. The beach at night is often a place associated with danger as it is incredibly dark and the waves are very harsh. This links to the fact he feels agitated as he has wandered down to a unknown beach in the muggy weather,

Furthermore, the subject specific lexis 'aimlessly' 'clueless' and 'found myself' are used to show the reader that the man in Thailand is very lost and has no knowledge of where he is or where he is going. The adverb aimlessley highlights how there is no purpose to his actions and is just strolling around in the dark until he finds something he thinks is entertaining. This also indicates that he isnt scared or nervous to walk around as he doesnt mention any fear he feels which means he must feel a sense of security in his setting. The lexis clueless supports this as it also shows how he has no understanding of what he is doing. In this case he is explaining how he was 'clueless to what the ringleader was saying' which makes us aware that he isnt familar with their language meaning he can't ask where anything is or for help if needed.
