Analysis2

In this post I would like to write something about the style of writing the author Melvin Burgess uses and the structure of the book.
The book has 20 chapters. The titles of these chapters are alternating and have names like "Billy", "Jacky Elliot", "George", "Tony" and "Michael", the most important persons of the book. The Chapters are written from the point of view of these different persons. So you can read about the feelings of Billy, but also about the feelings and opinions of his father, his friend, his brother and so on. That´s very interesting and exciting. In the end you are able to understand the point of view of everybody and nobody is only right or wrong.
The whole book is written in a colloquial language, like people are speaking. The linguistic usage is powerful and strong. I suppose it´s typical working class. This direct speech is exciting. It transports many different feelings. The reader of the book is feeling like beeing right in the middle of it. German pupils like me, who have never been in England before, have a first impression of the colloquial language. That´s very interesting and useful.
