Source 2 and source 3 tell the audience about two completely different experiences that two people had

near or on water. In source 2, Trappe is quoted saying, just this wonderful fantasy This contrasts hugely with Francis nightmare theme of her piece. Wonderful fantasy draws images of happiness, of safety and contentment, all of which Mr Trappe felt as he floated over the English Channel. However, if life was bleak then, it was bleaker three hours later reflects the sheer unhappiness and fear Claire Francis felt as her and her boat suffered through the storm. This contrasts Trappes feelings completely. Yesterday as the sun rose over the Kent countryside paints a beautiful image in the readers head. We imagine blue skies, jaw dropping views and serenity. Then, in source 3, Francis tells us how the movements of the boat were severe and ghastly moments of silence could be heard before a terrible juddering crash. These are completely different images which are accentuated by her use of powerful adjectives and emotive language. Trappe described the channel as an iconic ribbon. The metaphor emphasises the serenity. Also, ribbons have connotations of smooth, silky, pretty. The, Francis uses words like beating and wild to describe the water. These ideas juxtapose each other but still achieve the required reaction. Francis use of loaded words evokes powerful thoughts in the reader. Both sources describe the sounds of the waves however Trappe infers it to be peaceful while Francis took the silence as ghastly and implied that the waves were extremely violent and dangerous by her description of how she was thrown about like clothes in a washing machine. By using that simile, she relates to the audience because everyone has seen a washing machine in action.
