These are used to make the reader pause for a few seconds then keep reading, just as if someone had stopped talking but then had added on after thoughts. Short sharp sentences are another technique used by Hill in the story. Figurative language is also used in the story to give us a clearer picture of Jim Martin and other characters as well as a clearer picture of the surroundings and conditions of Gallipoli. Hill uses onomatopoeia to present to us the realness of the conditions and events of the story and to also engage us in the dangers of Gallipoli. It also informs us, the audience, about the conditions and events that were a part of Jim Martin's short life, and the Gallipoli campaign. The novel Soldier Boy, written by Anthony Hill, involves the audience in the biographical story of the youngest ever ANZAC, Jim Martin.
