Overview

1st person account of a teenager's trip to Paris; looking back on the memory - first person pronoun 'I' places writer at centre of the text Other characters referred to in relation to the narrator, or in a group, so first person narrator is seen as the most important character explains why they first moved to Paris

Genre like any other personal account, repetition of first person pronoun 'I' layout like a diary entry Lines 11 and 18, temporal connectives; 'a few hours later' indicates shift of time, typical of story narratives
