Feel For Chris When He Is Talking About His Mum's Death
How Does the sentence structure make us (the reader) feel for Chris when he is talking about his mum's death?
On chapter fifty-three Chris explains what he was thinking straight after his mum died. Chris gives off an abnormal behaviour when his mother passes, straight after Chris learning that his mother is no longer alive, he doesn't cry or mourn, instead Chris asks what type of heart attack his mum died from.
