Exercise 5 – Sample Answer 
The story “The Painted Wall” shows how literary devices make a message more powerful and meaningful. Symbols like the rising sun represent hope and change, helping readers understand deeper ideas. Imagery creates clear pictures in the reader’s mind, making the mural feel real and engaging. Contrast, such as faded colours and bright elements, highlights important differences and strengthens the message. Together, these devices influence how people think about the wall and encourage discussion. This makes the story impactful and memorable.
