Carroll’s approach to writing in this essay is that of a story teller. He is narrating his conscious thought on what happened and how it impacted his life. The style of short, factual statements are not the normal approach to writing. Carroll fills the essay with sentence fragments, but it works for his style. If you heard this being audibly narrated however, it would stand out to you maybe more than the written word. His approach conveys the unusual circumstances, the feeling of being stuck, and the desire for something new in a way that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. You can begin to feel the angst of the author even though he does not follow the normal flow of writing. Carroll also jumps from one part to the next segment abruptly.

While in Mr. Tate’s school he was called the champion of the weak and helpless to such a degree that he soon earned a reputation as "a boy who knew how to use his fists in a righteous cause." He also contributed a story to the schools news paper, of which was so good that Mr. Tate himself contacted his father and told him “Charles has a very uncommon share of genius, and you may fairly anticipate for him a bright career."After Richmond he was then enrolled in Rugby school from 1846 to 1850 where he was subjected too much bulling from being shy around the other student and suffered from several severe illnesses, one of which caused him to lose hearing in one ear.
