Into Thin Air Blog Post #4

The picture that will be below is a image of Beck Weathers who managed to make his way down from where he laid on the verge of death. He lost most of the lower half of his right arm along with four fingers on his left hand. He also had large amounts of damage to his face. He with all this somehow managed to dig himself out of the snow and stumble his way back to camp in his condition threw the raging storm. This was just a small tangent I want to add after the image I am going to talk about how his writing style swapped during this last section of this book.

.

There was a very drastic and sudden change in the way that he described things to the reader at this portion of the book. The amount of detail that he gave in the beginning of the book tends to fly out if the window at this point. I can understand how this could happen because it was the case he was mostly delirious and the amount of trauma this situation must have caused likely caused a lot of repressed information. I just know for sure there was a drastic shift that started out as such long and drawn out detail that it at point started to irritate me to a certain degree. Once the storm had a very focal point in the story itself it changed to short amounts which almost felt choppy and not satisfying.My thought on this makes it feel that the author got lazy or just seemed rushed this part of the story which this section is terrible sad is also such a important one. This important section was rushed and seemingly pushed threw without the care and effort as the others.
