1409 Words6 Pages

This was my life. I have been planning this for awhile. I know none of them will be here today. But I just hope they know I love them and did what I could for them."

    149 Words  | 1 Pages

    J.C. Burke uses the narrative structure of prologue to show the protagonist, Tom Brennan’s, Australian voice in the novel. Tom’s voice is loud and clear in the simple yet compelling prologue.

It creates a blunt
