Everything is backward and the verbs and transitions are very different. That makes it more difficult for me because I have to go back and try to make sense on what I am writing. The second problem that I have is, that I like numbers better than letters and that makes my life a…

This struggle is most apparent in the events of chapter nine, after Simon wakes up from a fainting episode. He struggles…
