How did William Blake and Grace Nichols present a place they know well? The ways in which Blake and Nichols present a place they know well are completely different‚ one is seen as a horrible place and is told to be a horrible place‚ but the other is seen as paradise‚ the best place on earth‚ with sun‚ sea‚ great views‚ the lot.

Now she can be described as the weather is described in the story; The sky loomed large and grey over the chimney tops and television aerials. Lata missed the drama of colours played out in the sky. She observed it had been the same dull grey throughout the day. This quote performs like a metaphor that shows Lata’s dissatisfaction about her new existents. She
