Chapter 167
Explanation and Analysis:
In spite of the novel's first-person narrator, tone and mood in a given scene often deviate. The tone Christopher uses to narrate the novel does not shift drastically, remaining largely pragmatic and straightforward throughout. Mood in the novel, however, ranges from hopeful to lighthearted to distressed depending on Christopher's circumstances and the reader's emotional reaction to said circumstances.
