How does joyce break with the language and form of traditional literature? how do his techniques affect the reader and the reader's experience? support your answer with evidence from the text (a portrait of the artist as a young man).

Joyce uses the form of the narration itself (in addition to the content) to reflect the simplicity of the central character's mind when he was a child. The shifts in the narrative reflect a child's shifting attention. The result is a mixture of what is frivolous, nonsensical, or trivial with what is central.

Joyce uses nonstandard words “moocow” and “baby tuckoo” and distorted forms of words such as "nicens" (instead of "nice"). The language seems appropriate to a child's perspective.

The short sentences mimic the simplicity of the protagonist's thoughts.

The first sentence in the excerpt is long and not punctuated as expected.

Some consecutive fragments of narration aren’t related in any way. They are the author’s way of displaying the continual leaps of a person's mind. The narration has a dreamlike quality.

Rhymes and poems are interspersed in the narration, reflecting the child's natural playfulness.

He sang that song. That was his song.

O, the green woethe botheth.

Pull out his eyes,

Apologise,

In this way, Joyce's style establishes a greater intimacy between the reader and the author than would a more traditional narrative.

innocence can be defined as the lack of sin, relating it with the lack of guilt, also it can be a synonime of naivety. most people agree that sins are made out of experiences, intentionally or not, as well as you stop being naive once certain things happen to you throughout your life. so, with this explained, the chosen answers are:

when the boy saw the effects of war, he no longer viewed life as innocent.

the loss of innocence is a result of gaining experience and making mistakes.

one way to define innocence is as a lack of worldly experience or sophistication.
