Passage: “ Reveille was sounded, as always, at 5.AM -- a hammer pounding on a rail outside camp HQ” - this passage is interesting for it shows the setting, time and what the main character is doing on the first sentence of the book.

Craft/6kl-traits - “The Baptist was reading the Gospels not just to himself but almost aloud. Maybe this was for Shukhov’s benefit (these Baptists love to spread a little propaganda)- This kind of showed how the author mocked the baptists and took the religious words as “propaganda”.

Connection: Well the style in how the book is written is very old fashioned way that is quite hard to understand, this made me remember about when I read Romeo and Juliet and how hard it was to read the literary structures. This book is not as hard as reading Romeo and Juliet, but old enough to make me quite puzzled.

Theme: theme.... I think the book has a theme of war. How the war affected people, and the camps that tortured the people.
