Is this book written in first person or third person? Second: how significant is the enlightenment thinking to the story moving forward?
ReplyDeleteIt is written in the 3rd person, and the science and philsophy ideas are prevelant throughout the whole book so you cold say the enlightenment idea's are prevelant through out the book too.
