Bilgewater: Speech & thought presentation

Task E - Thought presentation - where does the passage start in thought presentation terms?

As there is such a lot of thought presentation, we don't have the time to look at all of it. Instead, we will concentrate in the remaining tasks on representative examples of different kinds of thought presentation in different parts the passage. The first two examples come from near the beginning.

What category of thought presentation is involved in each example [Tip: the two examples are not the same], and what sorts of effect are associated with them?

After you have made up your mind about them, compare your thoughts with ours.
