Word choice – “cradled”Word choice – “cradled”Tone &Tone &Sentence structure – Sentence structure – repetition of “more”repetition of “more” Alcohol is an occupational hazard for journalists; for me it went from being the comforting, relaxing presence that calmed the aftermath of witnessing bloody violence, to a self destructive compulsion, that taken to its logical conclusion would have taken my life just as I had seen it take the careers, marriages and lives of good friends and colleagues in newspapers and broadcasting. From Our Own Correspondent was my favourite programme - the greatest vehicle for storytelling anywhere on the BBC - and I didn't see how the arrival of one reporter's child might possibly engage the audience.

Kean's use of the vocative " My Dear Son" at the beginning of the first paragraph immediately emphasises the feelings he has towards his son and it makes the reader think that the letter is written from the heart. The film is told through chapters featuring voiceover throughout the film. This voiceover is Amy reading her titular letters to Daniel Craig. This is a unique way to frame the film, but it wasn’t clear why. We never hear Amy talking about Craig’s impact on her until near the end of the film. It would have been interesting to actually see a scene where she first sees his work or something of that ilk. If she didn’t keep saying his name in the voiceover, it would be easy to forget that she was writing to him.

Quote/EvidenceQuote/Evidence Focus of AnalysisFocus of Analysis Analysis/EvaluationAnalysis/Evaluation In conclusion, “Letter to Daniel” by Fergal Keane is one of the most touching and moving short stories I have ever read. The writer’s use of rich imagery, sentence structure, tone and theme all comes together and helps to convey the writer’s thoughts and emotions. He provides the necessary information and also paints vivid pictures of his emotions and if Keane had not used such strong ideas and techniques throughout the letter I am not sure it would have had the same enduring effect on me.

And I replied that nothing anybody says about it - good, bad or indifferent - matters a damn in the long run. McCorkle’s script is a bit of a mixed bag. The voiceover sections and the subtitles under each “chapter’s” title card featured some funny, self-deprecating lines that give us more insight into Amy’s true personality. The actual dialogue scenes, however, often felt clunky and a bit unnatural. Running at just over an hour, there were storylines that either felt rushed or completely skipped over. At one point the girls visit Amy’s Aunt Rosie in a coffee shop and make a comment that implies they regularly see her. This was confusing because although Aunt Rosie was mentioned before, it didn’t seem like they were very close to her. The film starts in 1999 and ends in 2011, so it’s no wonder certain things had to be cut. But if the film was even 30 minutes longer, it would have fleshed out important details. Where Is Daniel Craig?

The Babylonian exile was not the end of Israel’s history of rebellion and judgment. In the future, Israel would continue to sin against the Lord, and Jerusalem would be handed over to her enemies, who would damage her temple and do other offensive things (chs. 8; 9; 12). Eventually, though, the anointed ruler would come to deliver God’s people from their sins ( 9:24–27).

Keane reflects on all aspects of his life to date and begins to not only accept but also forgive his father in spite of his faults. He says, "I thought of your grandfather". This highlights that Keane has forgiven him as he is talking about him as if he is still one of the family.
