Structural Patterning

 

John Boyne uses Repetition in many of his paragraphs because he is trying to express the way kids see and say the repetition in their sentences. Or he could also be showing important parts that are linked to the story. The way kids think is really straight forward and most of the time they don’t know that much about grammar so they use the same words they know and they use what they know to talk
