The Shard is said to glower over your combination in Peckham, said by Chakrabortty, the author. This once again uses per assonification, to describe the Shards towering size. To glower is to give a confused disappointing look, therefore it is some what disappointed with those in Peckham, due to what we know of that area it could be said that parts of London’s working class are seen as disappointing to the Shard. Chakrabortty says it “glowers over YOUR convictions” directing this to the reader so they understand that potentially they realise that those who own 99% of the Shard are spying on our way of life.

This is good detailed analysis, Dewi
It’s exactly this level of detail that is needed for the examination ‘language’ question.
What it needs to develop further is for you to offer a clearer sense of what Chakrabortty was trying to say in the over-all article.
