Turner, Mr.Gribley, Mrs. Thomas Fiedler and Bill.
Settings: The setting mostly takes place outdoor in the woods.

Tone: For tone I picked strong because Sam is strong for just leaving and brave for going in the woods by himself, even though he meets people along the way with his journey. Irony: There wasn’t really anything ironic that I could find. Imagery: In the book when Sam leaves because he is cramped in a new York apart I began to formulate what that must be like. I try and put me in Sam’s shoes, how much stress there would
