1. What is the author's STYLE (formal or informal) and why?
2. What narrative perspective is the style of journal writing? (obvious answer!!)
3. In what "tense" is journal style writing usually written? How does that help create ambiguity? (also keep in mind the narrative perspective).
4. What is the MOOD at 7 am on March 23? Then at 4 pm? How do you explain this "new" mood? Is the mood ironic? Why? What might you expect the mood to be?
5. Analyze the author's use of journal entries in order to create mood and tone. Do you think (evaluate) it is effective so far?
6. What text structure is NOTES in a Bottle Written?

EXIT PASS

INFER what the note in  the bottle says and how the bottle ended up where it did.
