Summary: The Shack

In The Shack by: Paul Young, the author concentrates a lot on religion. He is very descriptive when describing stories from the bible and other references. For example, "Night was falling quickly and the distant darkness was already thick with the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs. Jesus took his arm and led him up the path while his eyes adjusted, already Mack was looking up into a moonless night at the wonder of the emerging stars" (111). The other does not only refer to some of the stories in the Bible, but refers to it in a very descriptive way. I like how the author describes the night with all the sounds of the crickets and frogs and it forms imagery. Also, it describes the night as "moonless", this creates an image in your head of a perfectly clear night with no drop of a shining yellow sphere in the night sky.
