Type or attach three passages from each Style-what appears to be a pattern unique to Krakauer's style as a writer?-(3)/Theme(3)-Which theme jumped out at you and how did Krakaeur express it throughout the book? (3) /Characterization-What are the most distinguished passages that reveal Chris's persona?(3). The selection of your evidence must not be random as the collection should reveal trends that will evoke commentary. Don't forget why you selected these passages in the first place. Include page number and use passages from throughout the book. You do not need to jam all three passages on a single slide. You can erase the passage I included in the sample. No commentary needed at this point.
Gradual and heavy, it approached. The concept of death disturbingly danced around her mind for the first time. Hesitantly she retreated, desperately grasping on to her last seconds of humanity. It had found the girl. She saw it for the first time, death was so close she could taste it. It tasted bitter, yet strangely sweet. She refused it at first, but accepted the resting tone. As she fell to the accepting warmth of the ground, her misguided hope reached for a shred of light. But she was already consumed, held tight in the grasping veil of darkness. Maximus
Pierced with fright and the sharp, cutting nails of her kidnapper, the woman shrieked once more for help. Her tears uniting with the blood on her torn lips, she heard her scream simply echo into the darkness--no one was here but herself and the nightmare she used to admire. She sank to the floor as slow as he pronounced the word "b****", and let her nails scrape the cold wall, the only thing keeping her stable. She was solely shaking now, questioning how her brother could ever break her like this. Vania (you're killing me)
Shrieking in fear for her life, she fell slowly into an unholy abyss. P Dubs
Desperately reaching her hand out, pleading for someone to help, she slowly gave up and was drawn into the darkness. R Bears
Unspooling is such an inapt word — can brains, after all, be unspooled? — that it immediately puts dread in check. No matter how brutal the images generated by these words, surely there’s more in store than blunt-force entertainment. Well, yes and no, which is sometimes the case with Mr. Fincher. One of those filmmakers whose technical prowess can make the mediocrity of his material seem irrelevant (almost), Mr. Fincher is always the star of his work. His art can overwhelm characters and their stories to the point that they fade away, leaving you with meticulous staging and framing, and edits as sharp as blades. It’s no accident that the first time you fully see Nick Dunne, the man who had been discoursing so vividly about his wife’s head, he’s alone...
Mr. Fincher’s compositions, camera work and cutting are, as always, superbly controlled. Working again with the cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth and the production designer Donald Graham Burt, he fashions an ever more haunted, haunting world that wavers so violently between ordinariness and aberration that, as in his other movies, the two soon blur.
