For example : Liz went to the Forbidden Well and swam really deep to contact someone on earth to tell them who had ran her over.


3. The authors tone is more like a someone who is caring for Liz , or seems like they want the reader to feel the same way like Liz does .
    " you went to the well for me "?
    " Liz (feeling desperate , sad and angry) is still dealing with everything "
    "  I'm so happy now that I'm back "
