Cry Journal

One thing I tabbed was the very beginning, I put it under plot structure. And I tabbed it because the author chooses to introduce the story with a bunch of description about the setting and it's usually important to note how the author begins the novel. I think he probably chose the setting because it's really important in this book because its all about culture and its in Africa so he kind of paints the picture of where you're at and what's going on.

Another thing I tabbed was under the category of narrative I noted that he chose to tell this in third person. I can't tell yet whether its limited or omniscient but it's third person. And that's important because he probably did that maybe to distance the reader a little bit because its a different culture so he wanted a more broad perspective.

I also tabbed on pages 36-37 when they are talking about the letter, I tabbed it because of the mood. Since you don't know what's in the letter there's anticipation and anxiety but you can tell that it isnt like happy anticipation it's this sort of sad almost dreading anxiety and tension which is important to note.

I tabbed pages 48-49 where he gets robbed I thought that passage was important because he's telling a lot about the character so that probably falls under the category of characterization. You see how naive and innocent the man is. And also how he is so trusting and faithful. that's important because first it tells you about the main character and also about the culture and town he comes from.
