    By The River Analysis

    In the novel, ‘By The River’, I noticed that the authors writing techniques were successful, despite the few that made parts of the novel confusing. Changing sub-chapters every few pages made the book confusing because I couldn't keep up with the new settings and characters introduced. Having only a few words per line, was detracted from the book because I finished reading one page very quickly and then had to turn it. It was interesting having headings for the sub chapters because it gave me an insight into what was going to happen. There was no use for paragraphs as the sub chapters were so short that they were about the size of a paragraph.…
