Non-Fiction Essay
Inside North Korea: the ultimate package tour by Carole Cadwalladr is a non-fiction text that shows what goes on inside the mysterious country that is North Korea. The fact that the text is detailed non-fiction enhances my appreciation by helping me understand everything Cadwalladr is experiencing while inside North Korea and by not skimming over details that many writers usually would.
The Imagery in the text paints a vivid picture of North Korea exceptionally well.
"it feels like not unlike entering a fold in the space-time continuum"
by saying this the writer is painting an image of an empty place where everything looks the same and no part is distinct or distinguishable from adjacent parts. "The city simply vanishes from view. Poof! Like a cheap trick in a pantomime" This sentence refers to the electricity being cut off at 10pm in North Korea and intercalates the image of a whole city of glittering lights being before your eyes one minute the there being nothing but a void of darkness the next.
