- TECHNIQUES USED BY THE AUTHOR
- John Green uses a lot of describing techniques in his book. He will use
many adjectives, similes and metaphors to give the reader a better picture
of the book.
- A technique he uses that makes the book unique is he counts the day and makes
the number of the day the title of the chapter. e.g. One hundred and thirty-six days
before. Before is before Alaska dies. John then uses number of days + after to
show after Alaskas death
