Journal 9

How does the structure affect the text: re-examine the opening and closing of chapters or the opening and closing of the novel?

The beginning of the novel starts with the horizon and closes with the horizon. This helps to close the story and make it feel finished. I think it also helps to draw the reader into the story more. It starts with a powerful image of the horizon, drawing the reader in and making them want to know more. Then it closes with the same powerful image, finishing the story with a great ending.
