1st Person Point of View
Examples from the Text: I drew the small knife I had brought with me and waited, my heart thumping, my lungs heaving.
This is when Vega said her goodbyes when death is near her right behind the door she's facing.
Characterization
Vega Jane is a tall female of age fourteen which was five feet and nine inches tall [This is the only description of Vega Jane in the book].
She enters into the stacks (her work place as a Finisher) illegally and goes back into the room where she met Destin earlier and her grandfathers famous claw (This tells that she is determined to do something and brave).
She fights the men who tried to cut her tree down [(where she lives) She cares for everything that she hates to lose like Harry].
Theme
When you lose everything and you're in the darkness, look for the brightness and look ahead where your path lies for you.
Figurative Language
"The creatures were coming fiercely now; they sounded like the rush of a waterfall" [(Page 84) This is when Vega encounters a Jabbit for the first time and runs away to escape somehow.]
"Jabbits were massive serpents with one key difference. There were at least two-hundred fifty heads" [(Page 85) This describes the Jabbits and gives a picture of how they look like.]
