  3. Bank holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom. • There is no automatic right to time off on these days, although banks close and the majority of the population is granted time off work or extra pay for working on these days, depending on their contract.

  4. Bank Holidayessentially consists of a succession of wild, colorful, and dizzy images, snapshots taken from a bank holiday weekend celebration.

  5. “It is a flying day, half sun, half-wind” • “a pink face” • “ dingy white flannel” • “ a blue coat” • “ a brass-and-turquoise ring” • "eating oranges and bananas” • “ men in khaki” • “ emerald-green, scarlet, bright blue, canary yellow”

  6. It is more of a verbal painting of a moment in time in what seems to be a small New Zealand town on a bank holiday.

  7. Three parts: • Para 1-6 with two musicians playing music, people gather at a square, eating, talking and laughing • Para 7-22 people scatter and climb the hill, along the way there were many vendors doing small businesses • Para 23-25 people reach the top of the hill, drinking in a bar and thrusting things in hands into sky

  8. Present tense——we are at the festival • Feeling is detachment from all the revelry and frivolity of the crowd. • Looker-on

  9. And up, up the hill come the people, with ticklers and golliwogs, and roses and features. Up, up they thrust into the light and heat, shouting, laughing, squealing, as though they were being pushed by something, far below, and by the sun, far ahead of them—drawn up into the full, bright, dazzling radiance to…what?

  10. At happy moments, forgetting their worries and disappointments and frustrations. • After this, they will come back to ordinary life.

  11. Thanks for your attention
