Anecdotal hook and Inner thoughts:

-This book narrates the experience of a boy who is suicidal and tries to Commit suicide. The Opening page gives us details about his day leading up to when he lit himself on fire through his inner dialogue

Inner Dialogue:

-tells a story of the narrator's experience in life through the use of inner dialogue.

-”Im awake, listening to the radio, and mom is yelling at me to get out of bed. I don't want to get out of bed. I don't want to go to school. Maybe I should play sick but I've done that too many times this year already.”

Details-

-” I reach out and grab my big black bathrobe, like the ones boxers wear but without a hood, put it on, and step out into the cold air.”

Imagery-

-”It's like a black cloud hanging over my head, like in cartoons when it's only raining on the one guy and it follows him around wherever he goes, even indoors.”

Inner thoughts-

-”I run the whole thing back in my head. I did so many things wrong, i can't even believe it. I shouldn't have taken the matches from Adam. I should have lit that match. I shouldn't have set the whole pack on fire. I shouldn't have thrown them into the locker. And I really shouldn't have put that lock on the locker.”

Foreshadowing-

-”Its weird that this bathroom has three locking doors, but I like it. If i ever have to hide from anyone, like a burglar or something, or just really want to be by myself, i can in here and lock all the doors.”

This literary technique is one I haven't seen before. I think that it is very effective in conveying what the character is feeling at this moment. During this part, the main character is in the hospital getting treated for burns all over his body. By making it so the sentences are very short it gives me insight on how he is feeling in this moment. It gives the emotion that he is in so much pain that he can barely form sentences in his brain. Even though the sentences don't make much sense grammatically I can picture what is going on.

This literary technique happens throughout his whole stay at the hospital. Consistently when something good happens to the main character, in the next paragraph something bad happens to him. For instance in the picture above he gets a gift phone call from someone famous that he likes and then the next paragraph goes to him getting a painful medical procedure. This technique is used to give the reader a sense of how awful what he is going through is. It also just sounds real which could make the reader have a larger reaction to what they're reading.

Throughout the book humor has been used to push by bad things. It has almost felt like throughout his entire stay in the hospital he didn't really think it was such a big deal. Every time he would catch a glimpse of himself in a reflective object he would make a joke about the way he looks. The use of realization in the last paragraph of this chapter makes everything seem much more real. He states how he didn't realize how he was such a monster, imply that now he feels like he is a monster. This technique I also use full in creating a emotion in the reader, for example reading this I felt sympathy for him and sad that he viewed himself in this light.

This literary technique is used periodically throughout the book. In this particular example he is talking about anxiety. By repeatedly referring back to the word anxious it gives the reader a sense of the anxiety he is feeling. In every sentence of this paragraph the word anxious is used and for me reading that the first thing my eyes are going to is that word. Repetition is very useful in getting a point across or displaying really how prominent something is.

the dialogue illustrates the conversation between the narrator and his mother. It also reveals that the days leading up to the narrator trying to kill himself he had threatened to to his family, which gives perspective to the days that led before he made his decisions. By saying "she sniffs hard, and l of a sudden the tears stop.........she can hardly get the words out, shes crying so hard" it paints an image of how sad and traumatized the narrator's mother is. it is not using vivid imagery but it is using details to be able to sympathize with the character.

Page 137 contributes to a conclusion of the main characters Brent Hospital stay. Since the beginning of the book Brent has been in the hospital since his burn accident. The readers have been brought along a journey of his healing. Now he is being discharged from the hospital and being brought the a secondary rehabilitation center. This chapter is a nice conclusion to all the terror Brent has experienced while being in the hospital. Even though this is not the end to the story it gives an end to this part of his healing journey.
