- The title of the text is “The Farm” and the author is John Galsworthy.
- The text is about two friends, Frank Ashurst and Robert Garton, who are on a tramp and looking for a place to stay for the night. They come across a farm where they meet a girl named Megan David and her aunt, Mrs. Narracombe. They are offered a room for the night and Ashurst goes for a swim in a pool near the farm.
- The author uses several stylistic devices in the text. There are a few epithets used to describe the characters, such as “Ashurst pale, idealistic, full of absence” and “Garton queer, round-the-comer, knotted, curly, like some primeval beast.” These epithets help to create vivid images of the characters and give insight into their personalities. The author also uses a metaphor when describing Ashurst’s smile as “rather beautiful,” which suggests that he is physically attractive. The use of these stylistic devices helps to bring the characters to life and make them more memorable to the reader.
- The main message of the text seems to be the beauty and simplicity of rural life. The farm and its surroundings are described in great detail, highlighting the natural beauty of the landscape. The characters, especially Ashurst, seem to find happiness and contentment in this rural setting, away from the complexities of city life. The author may be suggesting that there is a certain purity and tranquility in living close to nature.
