Hello dear friends—it is time for me to take some time to work on my next project and the blog posts will cease for now. I have said everything I need to about Fallen Through and I need to close this chapter for good now and let it go. I also need some time to…

Tyler, while high and panicked, races to Truant Reserve and sees the ghost of Della very early on in Fallen Through. Eventually, Tyler passes away there. Tyler was never going to survive the events of Fallen Through and these instances allude to his eventual fate. The ghostly imagery reinforces how this was inevitable and the…

Della and her father, Al’s, relationship is a special one in Fallen Through. Although they don’t share a lot of moments together, it is very much implied that they are close—and this is very much the case in real life too! Toward the end of the novel, once Al picks up Della from the airport,…

There was a real dream that I had in April 2020 about one of my former friends passing away after being consumed by smoke. I incorporated this situation into Fallen Through as it was a nightmare that genuinely spooked me for days—I was perturbed and unsettled, and decided to write about it as it was…

Do you believe in superstition? I definitely believe there’s something to it—so much so, that I would purposefully avoid stepping on cracks just in case it were to hurt my mother in real life. I incorporated this in Fallen Through during Chapter 32 where it’s Tyler’s birthday and he’s at a restaurant with his family.…

As previously discussed in some of my other blog posts, Della is a naïve character—she is so blinded by the love she has for Tyler that she ultimately refused to see some of the more glaring signs that it isn’t what she thinks it is. I purposefully included a game in Chapter Twenty where Della…

Hello! Late post this week as I have been run down with the flu… I like to try and write my blog posts earlier in the week so I can enjoy my weekend and focus on some other writing… Shh… But here we are! This week, we are back to foreshadowing and this involves Tyler’s…

I truly struggled pairing this “idea” to a literary device as I’m not sure exactly sure where it fits. Though, I have settled on irony as nothing else quite matched the way I tried expressing this idea. July 9th is referenced throughout the novel as one of the best days they shared together; Della and…

Within Fallen Through, there are a variety of characters—some good, some bad, but out of all of the “main characters” that are involved with the primary narrative of Fallen Through, there is only one person in the entire novel that does not lie. This character was Iris.  When discussing literary devices, characterisation is often overlooked…

Another week, another literary device—and this time we are revisiting another foreshadowing moment implemented within Fallen Through. Very early on within the novel, Tyler and his friends introduce to us the “initiation” test. We know that Tyler only joined and befriended that social group very recently and that to be accepted into the group, they…
