My literature Analysis
Book: Search for Safety

Author: John Langan (Bluford Series)

1. What the book, " Search for Safety " by Paul Langan is about a boy name Ben who lives with an abusive father and a mother who lets the father push them around and sometimes Ben goes to his room without eating. In the beginning Ben life was less complicated until his dad loses his job and starts drinking and then starts getting abuse he try's to work so he can provide himself food and suddenly his da realize that he has been working because he sees food on Bens room and then the abusive father takes away the money because he realize that he has been hiding it. Towards the end we realize that Bens Mom is tired with the abusement and her and Ben go to Their Grandma house and by the end of the chapter we see that Bens dad get arrested and Ben continues being responsible and a sweet boy.

2.  The theme of this book is giving up and towards the end is about giving a fresh start to your life in the beginning we see giving up the reason for this is because Ben would always get put down by his father he would try his best to avoid him and Ben at a point was just tired of life so he would tend to be another type of person instead of being the sweet , caring , and hard working person. At the end Ben becomes a person who moves on and he starts wit a fresh start. The reason why because his father ends up in jail and he and his mom started a new life with a new home and Ben became happy.

3. The authors tone was intense because he wrote in such in a passionate way the way he uses dyntax to make us feel the way the character feels and the detail way he explains stuff and the fiction on how he uses it and then impact in with reality that there's people who suffer everyday abusement.

     How do I imagine the author I imagine him as a person who is sitting on table writing without stopping due to a article they read in other words imagining what Bens life could've been.

5. Literature Techniques (Devices)

    1. Dyntax

        The author uses dyntax throughout the book when he explains the sound affect he makes us imagine what the author is saying and also the way the character feels

    2. Personification

       " And if he doesn't act soon, it could swallow him and his mother forever "

       The reason why is personification is because acting cant swallow their mother or Ben and its giving acting a human quality.

 

well................ now I know why these books are interesting for my brother.
