Northrop Compare And Contrast Essay

In the beginning, Northrop uses comparison and first person narration to create the setting. For example, “I was still kinda jealous, though.”(Northrop 63). Also, “...I thought about asking Jason because he was closer, and just the normal glow from the screen would be enough.”(Northrop 63). These sections show that the author uses first person narration. And, “It was weird, sort of like class was about to start. People picked out desks, dropped their stuff off to the side…”(Northrop 91).

The section “From the way it just hung there, I could tell he was already back to sleep.”(Northrop 126) shows that the author uses first person narration. “Did you ever go to the beach when you were a little kid and get wiped out by a wave?...Well, that’s pretty much how I felt right then.”(Northrop 150). “One guy even had a home-made torch, like a caveman in the city.” (Northrop 154). These excerpts of the end of the book connect to my claim because they display that the main character gives more comparisons to create the
