Seventh Entry (Analysis)

Write about the style of writing the author use.
 
The book is meant to be an autobiography in which the author makes us participate in his development from early childhood on.
I must admit that I didn’t find the introductory part of the book very exciting as I was more interested – as a future pilot myself – in what happened in connection with his heroic act.
I found his style of writing relatively simple and easy to read, and I didn’t have to look up too many words in the dictionary.
The fact that he has experienced live all the feelings and emotions described in the book makes the text much more authentic and thrilling compared to what may have come out of it if he had just imagined the whole accident.
I think this is the main difference between a novel, in which the author makes up an imaginative story, and an autobiography, in which he can report facts and situations he has really been confronted with himself.
