Analysis of The crayon cave
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
In wilderness days man drew life and soul onto a cave wall but nowadays the caves glow with crayon instead of the fire unless campers emulate the harsh wilds of nights sleeping on solid slabs and fur skins, spears at the ready for saber toothed tigers and ancient angels watching over them as early men and women wept hardened tears in their sleep.
