As Misha wakes up, Spinelle uses choppy sentences: “Something was ringing. My ear hurt. My arm hurt. Everything hurt. I was wet. I was water. I sat up….” (187). What sort of effect do you think sentences like these are supposed to have on the reader?

Answer: choppy sentences like these are to give the reader to see that the character is having a bad mood or is grumpy and annoyed

I think choppy sentences like these are to give the reader the sense that the narrator is confused and in a “murky” state, where they’re unsure what is happening.
