This author’s style of writing is very different from any of the other authors that I have read. The difference is that this author has a tendency to butt in. He starts to write about the story and then he would randomly just butt in. For example, “...Which of these adventures shall we choose…?” This happens throughout the entire book, he seems to want to always let us know that he is still there and does not want us to forget about him.
The author’s imagery is magnificent. He makes you feel as if you are actually standing there in between the sword of Peter Pan and the vicious Captain Hook. He also does a good job setting up the beginning scenes. You can tell what the nursery is like. Something that is interesting about this book is that Barrie gives humanistic characteristics to a dog named Nanna. This is interesting because the dog is the children’s nanny.
The tone in this piece is very laid back, the reason behind it is that because this is a children’s book. There are times where the main characters can be very serious. Tinker Bell’s tone in this whole thing is very rude and mean. She is almost always angry and that is because of Wendy.
The things that I disliked about the book are that the author is constantly stepping in. I really do not like to be interrupted when I am reading a story. Something else that I do not like is that Peter has a very forgetful memory. He tends to forget major things and its really sad. The last thing that I dislike about this book is that the way that the farther acts. He seems to always want the attention directed towards him. Even though there seems to be many things that I dislike about this book there are something’s I like about this book. I like that they had enjoyable adventure while they were in Neverland. I also like that Peter stayed himself throughout the whole story. I think that shows a lot about his personality and that he is not going to let anyone change his mind. I also like that no matter how long it took; Mrs. Darling was not going to close the window on her kids.
I do not think I would recommend this book to anyone who does not like a sad ending. The book is interesting because the author takes you to a whole other world. So if I were to recommend this to anyone then I would recommend that you only read to the part where they get back inside of the window.
The language in this book is very interesting the reason being is that even though the main characters in this book are suppose to be children, they act and talk as if they are adults. Which I guess that is what Peter and Wendy are like.
The rhetoric in this book is mostly pathos. There really is not much of ethos or logos. The author uses more of pathos because it would be hard to have anything else in a children’s book.
