The second symbol is Henri, John's protector, who represents family. John and Henri share no blood or DNA, but they are still a family. Even to the end, at Henri's funeral John says, "I know we always joked about it but you were my father Henri" (Lore 438). Henri represents that family does not have to be the people who are related by blood. Family is found in the people who care the most about somebody.

This list is the top ten planets in the universe that can sustain life, predicted by NASA and the Space Organization of Chile. This list pertains to the novel because the protagonist is from another planet in the universe, one that sustains life, just like Earth. There is no way of knowing quite yet if these planets definitely have life on them, but future technology may one day be able to determine if there really are extraterrestrial beings in the universe.

1. The first literary device is a simile, used by John when he explains, "The Mogadorians are like the monsters from under your bed, keeping you up at night, making you fear your own dreams" (Lore 36). This simile is comparing the aliens who are hunting John to monsters that haunt children's' nightmare, like they haunt his every day thoughts.
2. John has a flashback to the day that Lorien was destroyed in chapter seventeen. He says, "I see the bleak and gray surface, where no life grows. No plants or animals or people inhabit this planet. It is truly dead" (Lore 77). The flashback is a literary device that was used to convey images of the past experiences John had of his home planet when it was destroyed right in front of him.
3. John uses a metaphor when he compares Sarah's beauty to summer and wind when he says, "Her hair is the wind, wisps of blonde. And her skin is warm sunlight, radiating and glowing, shutting out all darkness" (Lore 432). He is using a metaphor by saying that her hair is the actual wind and her skin is the actual sun.
4. The author used foreshadowing when the journalist said, "I will get my scoop Mr. Smith. I always do" (Lore 297). This quote is foreshadowing that John's secret will very soon be discovered and that the Mogadorians will surely find him.
5. The last quote is used as a personification, when John describes, "The trees danced and swayed, singing a sweet tune that surrounded me and Sarah, serenading us both" (Lore 431). John is saying that the trees danced, swayed, and sung, even though these are human actions that trees can not actually perform.
