Literature Analysis # 1

  1. Briefly summarize the plot of the novel.
The story of the book is a soldier who was put into the war and every time he dies he just keeps waking up the same morning that he started. 

2.Succinctly describe the theme of the novel.  Avoid cliches.  

the theme of the story is that even the weak can become strong and over come big problems.

3.Based on the author's tone, describe how you imagine the author's morning routine.  Does s/he get up early or sleep late?  Coffee, tea, or no caffeine?  Yoga/meditation/exercise?  Groggily stumble to the toilet and wish s/he wasn't so hungover?  Breakfast?  If so, what kind of food?  No, I am not kidding.  There is no shortcut for this, only your own imaginative thinking based on how you read his/her work and interpret his/her tone.  Include no fewer than three (3) excerpts from the text that illustrate your points.

I think that the author gets up late and sleeps late and drinks tea. He probably uses meditation. I think that he wouldn't drink too much to have to run to the toilet. He probably just goes without breakfast because he wakes up so late.

4.Describe five (5) literary techniques you observed that strengthened your understanding of the theme and/or your sense of the tone.  These techniques may include characterization, figurative language, or anything else you've ever studied.  If you can't come up with five, do your best to remember and then look up "literary techniques" online and see if something rings a bell.  Include three (3) excerpts for each technique that will help your reader understand the technique and how it helped you gain insight.


I think that when he used foreshadowing it helped me understand what was going to happen. Also when he used metaphors for death such as loop for death. " How was your loop moments?"
"We just meet like 4 days ago but i know you" "I know every day will just be the same"
