Crabbe manages to exit the forest with the help of a driver by the name of Jack Johnson but unfortunately he ends up with a severe frostbite on his left hand. The doctors "had to amputate the two damaged fingers"(149). Crabbe was then forced to talk to his parents about his feelings and gratitude he shared within himself. He is also currently employed in "a small factory"(167).
The author resolves the novel by ending Crabbe's conflicts he had within himself. Crabbe has no problems or attitude against anyone including self at the end. William Bell has shown how crabbe has improved overtime in character throughout the novel. The author uses personification when describing the branches and trunks. "The waving trunks groaned and squeaked eerily."(140). Example of repitition is "snowy sky"(140). The use of personification makes it seem as if the trees are dangerous obstacles in Crabbe's journey back home.
Still on the brief side, Abi. I would try to dig out more significant quotations and write more extensively about the issues arising in the novel. I'm not seeing much of you in these entries.
ReplyDeleteTry discussing any underlying themes, or symbolism that you may have encountered while reading the book. A little in depth analysis can go a long way. Even if you wrote about your own feelings towards the book you might be able to achieve something that is a little more profound.
