Text Analysis

Julian`s survival was one of the most miraculous events that had ever took place in the history of world as

it would have been impossible for her to survive after “falling from miles from the air” if it was not a

miraculous event. The whole passage was written in third person narration making the whole passage

more expressive as well as more illustrative as it portrayed the whole scenario in a more detailed manner.

The uses of factual as well statistical reference throughout the entire passage made the whole text more

descriptive as it included every single detail with great amount of details like “On Christmas Eve 1971”

“half an hour taken off from Lima airport.”

The uses of Pictorial description while crushing from the airplane made the whole scenario more

illustrative and made it an ease for the readers to visualize the image properly as she included “the plane

started lurching and bumping”. The writer also boasted his accurate level of sense of places which

increased the authenticity of the text. Throughout the text the writer used many irony which acted as a

spice and made the theme more interesting as even after falling from so high all she had was “nothing

more than a concussion broken collarbone, a gash on her leg, and a small cut on her arm” which was

totally miraculous. The statement “The forest which saved her life became her prison” it clearly exposes

Julian`s uncertain position by using personification. The level of education and sense of familiarity Julian

had about the whole jungle made it an ease for her to pass and reach the large river where she can find

land with people from whom they can ask for help so that she can survive. Julian was quite a little bit

impulsive while taking the decisions despite being logical, as she took all her decisions instantly.

The writer also used metaphor in the line “often wonder why she didn`t drop like a stone through

the sky” which made it an ease for comparing in how fragile she was in. The uses of parenthesis several

times in the whole passage made the whole passage more descriptive and more realistic.
