Susan Hill, writer of I’m the king of the castle, has a wide range of techniques that cleverly manage to paint clear pictures from start to finish. ... As if all these weren’t enough to give the reader a clear enough picture in their mind, Susan Hill has used hundreds of similes to get the reader to clearly understand her message. ... Finally, Susan Hill has written this book in such a way that, perhaps the most vital and important points in the book keep recurring just to keep the interest level up. ... The places that I have chosen to comment on to show how Susan Hill uses the afore mentioned techniques in more detail are the wood, the attic and the circus. ...

Susan Hill also uses similes and metaphors along with the colours to clarify the image even more, “…light coming out between the branches was a queer coppery green, like the light under the sea. ... ” The previous quote, ‘sun was spearing’ is also a good example of how Susan Hill uses alliteration in parts to make little bits stand out all the more, e. ...

Perhaps my most favourite part of Hang wood is the way in which Susan Hill has potrayed the wildlife that lives amongst it. ... Susan Hill doesn’t spare any detail here as he also comments on the insects present, “A small, rust coloured insect…” and “…lot of insects, spiders, and shiny, segmented beetles going in and out of the twigs. ... ” A nice touch here though, is when Hill mentions the rabbit and the deer. ... ” The deer, however, also contain an association with colour, as well as a metaphor and expressive verbs, which put forward a vivid idea of how it looks.
