Whole-extract structural shift

An extract opens with a vivid description of a busy market, switches mid-paragraph to the protagonist's internal monologue, then ends with a single short sentence: "She turned away."

Write ONE paragraph analysing how the writer's STRUCTURAL CHOICES across this extract create impact. [6 marks]

Indicative top-band paragraph:

The writer uses three deliberate structural shifts to take the reader on a journey from external chaos to internal isolation. The opening's vivid market description orients us in a sensory, populated world; the mid-paragraph pivot into the protagonist's internal monologue narrows the focus from the public to the private without warning, as if the reader were hearing her thoughts unbidden. By the end, the writer has stripped the prose to a single short sentence — "She turned away." — whose finality and isolation in its own paragraph contrasts with the busy opening. The structural movement (external → internal → minimal) mirrors the emotional movement of someone overwhelmed by their surroundings and retreating from them, inviting our sympathy without ever stating what she is feeling.

Mark scheme cues: three-stage structural movement; pivot from public to private; final short sentence as isolation; sustained "effect on reader" focus.
