Friday, December 16th, 2016 Reading Log #7, Topic Choice #4- Literary and Element Devices12/16/2016 In The Shack, integrates literary and Element devices throughout the story to prove and further increase suspension and background knowledge. The author uses refrences to another written story of the Clastop Tribe, to show and foreshadow an important death. On page 30, the author states Matt reciting the story to his daughter, about a woman who had killed herself in order to protect the tribe, taking her own life without telling anyone, which casued happiness yet extreme saddness. The author uses this refrence in order to foreshadow the fate of Mack's daughter, as her death caused extreme sadness to the family, it also saved her two siblings experiencing danger in another part of the camp they were in. This was integrated into the story as a were legend as if not going to be real or actually take part, but it did predict the disspareance and abductance of Mack's daughter. To further prove my point, on page 33, the author makes Mack's daughter, Missy, ask her own father if she too will also have to jump off a cliff or kill herself. The story of the lady paraleels with the story of Missy and how they both end up dying but helping claer something and cause change for better. The refrence of the legend was used to portray how Missy wuld also have to jump off a cliff to protect the one's she loves and help claer macks mind of this coorrupt world, and gods existence, which can be interpreted from the refrence to the Clastop Tribe story.
