Beyond the Sky and earth - analysis, They seem to be selling the same…

- - - - "They seem to be selling the same things" Zeppa is not impressed by the repetition of sails
      - "plasticky white bread and flavorless red jam in" No one likes bread that is like plastic or jam that isn't flavourful.
      - "Thimphu will never look like New York to me, I think." She doesn't have faith in the growth of Thimphu.
    - - "I am full of admiration for this small country that has managed to look after itself so well."
        
        She also acknowledges what the country has done for itself and she admires it which shows us she also takes a liking to not only the country itself but also the people and the people running the country.
      - "Earlier names for Bhutan are just as beautiful"
        
        she likes there history there and their style of living
      - "The Bhutanese are a very handsome people"
        
        She feels warm in their presence and takes a liking to their physical features.
      - The people, "most−dignity, unselfconsciousness, good humor, grace"
        
        Here she uses a list which shows us she finds many good qualities about these people which also influences the readers ideas and views on these people in a very positive way.
      - The traffic cops, "Blue-suited policemen stationed at two intersections along the main street direct the occasional truck or Landcruiser using incomprehensible but graceful hand gestures."
        
        This shows us how adaptive and resourceful the Bhutanese people can be.
    - - Language
        
        Repetition, she uses a lot of repetition when she describes the landscape, with the use of the word of mountains which tells us how the landscape looks, very mountainous. "on the other side of mountains are mountains, more mountains and mountains again."
      - Structure
        
        okay
- - - - They seem to be selling the same things:
    - - At the end of the main road is Tashichho Dzong, the seat of the Royal Government of
        Bhutan, a grand, whitewashed, red-roofed, golden-tipped fortress, built in the traditional
        way, without blueprints or nails.
    - - Language
        
        "I stay close to
        them, hoping to pick up some of their enthusiasm."
        
        Shows her disintrest in the country and look for enthusiasm through her colleagues, which hellps the reader get a glimpse of her attitude towards the country as she talks negatively about it throughout the memoir.
        
        "The next morning, I share breakfast of instant coffee, powdered milk, plasticky white
        bread and flavorless red jam"
        
        Shows her disgust in the bland with the use of the rule of 3
      - Structure
        
        "grace−but can find no single word to hold all of my impressions."
        The use of the dash tells that she is taking a pause to think of words to describe the people but she is so flattered that she needs a pause to find words.
- - - - "I know the technical explanation for the landscape, landmass meeting landmass"
        
        This quote shows us that she appreciates their culture and the story and nature behind the landmasses.
      - "
        I used to wonder what was on the other side of mountains, how the landscape resolved itself beyond the immediate wall in front of you."
    - - Language
        
        Repetition is used frequently throughout the text when Zeppa is describing the landscape. This shows that Bhutan looks the same everywhere to the point where it can be a little disapointing.
      - Structure
    - - "It took five different flights over four days to get here," this shows that Zeppa is very tired from all of the distances he had to travel just to arrive to Bhutan.
      - "on the other side of mountains
        are mountains, more mountains and mountains again." This quote shows that Zeppa is disapointed since the landscape is repetitive and the same everywhere.
