Prologue

To add to what Tierra said about the introduction to this novel, I feel that the way the sentences are written reflects that of a child. The sentences are very simple and it seems to be written for a child or from the perspective of a child. The passage becomes less and less significant as the paragraph is repeated because all of the words begin to run together. The words are connected, but lack meaning. The prologue continues with an overview of a few events that have already occurred. I believe that this section reflects an isolated feeling that was presented in the previous story. The narrator reflects that she was unable to connect the events that were taking place, such as the reason the plants were not growing in the fall of 1941. However, this section contrasts with the story about Jane because it includes beautiful imagery, depth, and meaning.
