Review

Charlotte Hobson uses a larger ratio of complex sentences to simple sentences. Although she does include a few simple sentences they're not as popular as a complex.
"There was no doubt that it had a certain filthy charm."
As this was put as a last sentence in the paragraph it has a big effect on the reader, this is because it's 'short and snappy' and it allows the reader to understand what she is trying to say without confusing them with a long sentence. The effect of this sentence is that the reader can now understand how irritated she is by how simple the sentence is and the sarcastic tone used. This sentence compared to
"The light bulb in the toilet were alway being stolen, making the fauna in there difficult to identify; but the occasional shouts of horror from people picking their way through the darkness were testimony to it's existence"
It's clear that the simple sentence gets the point across a lot quicker and a lot more simpler. On the other hand, the writer would be un able to use a constant flow of simple sentences as the travel piece wouldn't make much sense and wouldn't review as well as it could.

Charlotte uses a rang of phonology/spokenness. In the travel writing she has wrote
"The fridge chugged like an idling truck"
The word "chugged" is onomatopoeia, this means the writer purposely included this to create an effect on the reader and to describe the truck in more detail. A simile is also used to create an effect on the reader. Charlotte chooses to do this because it adds more power and enthusiasm to the text. Charlotte also uses the metaphor
"Velvety eyed girl."
She uses this metaphor as it's unusual for someone eyes to be almost like 'velvet' so it causes imagery with the reader to imagine what this girl would look like.
