Voice and Tone
Begins with brisk, factual tone which is undercut by bracketed aside in first stanza.
Precise detail given about Heidi's hairstyle which seems appreciative, almost relishing it.
the 'clipped sides'
the 'crest/ of jet-black spikes on top'
Sarcastic tone
'as the headmistress put it'
the way the narrator splits 'not' and 'specifically forbidden'
ends stanza with ridiculous justification that Heidi's hair was 'not done in the school colours'
Narrator ridicules school
Shown when 'school colours' is repeated in final line of next stanza
Heidi and her father are given a voice but not the headmistress (speech is reported) or teachers who 'twittered'
Language
Conversational and ordinary language may reflect ordinary at the heart of Heidi's situation
'Shimmered'
Powerful metaphoric verb to use in relation to 'mother's death'
Suggests beauty and ethereal (spiritual/comforting/protecting) presence, as if mother supports daughter like 'freedom-loving father'
'Twittered'
Less attractive verb - teachers sound homogenous, silly and repetitive
'Tears in the kitchen, telephone calls'
Double and parallel alliteration makes phrase fast-paced
Followed by alliteration of 'freedom-loving father'
