Passage 1, Page: 38, Quote: All Hail the Dominant Primordial Beast! And Captain Ahale too!

- Symbolism ( This shows symbolism because it gives the reader his/her own visual of what they think this primordial beast would look like.)

Passage @, Page 9, Quote: Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen wateryway. The trees had been stipped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even of sadness. There was a hint of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness-- a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and teh effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen hearted Northland Wild.

Allusion- ( This is an allusion because he is simply telling it from his point of view while he was extremely malnourished and was not in his right mind so it may not be a very accurate description.)

Author Style- ( Even though Alexander Supertramp did not write the book the author decided to put in this passage giving the reader a first person point of view and a style just his own.)
