Uddrag
One of the main themes is climate change. After the accident, with of the passengers, the plane must make an emergency landing before reaching Chicago.
It is not a coincidence that the plane is forced down in Goose Bay close to Greenland. Jeremey tells Alan the stop in Goose Bay. Alan doesn’t seem to know where Goose Bay is.
Then he asks Jeremy, where it is. Then Alan replies: “It's north of Newfoundland. We'll be up near Greenland, or what's left of it."(L 160).
Alan believes that Mother Earth will fix itself, but is confronted with pure facts, and Jeremy’s opinion, when forced to a stop in Goose Bay.
Alan wants to watch North by Northwest with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, because he believes that it is a retro and easy to eat by film.
His favorite scene is, when Gary Grant survives an attack by an airplane, while the airplane is dusting crops and scooting at him.
Here the plane symbolizes Alans’s development through the short story. The plane crashes and so does Alan’s view on clima change.
“Instead, he felt somehow unnerved, he had a weight round his heart, a nasty sinking feeling, which was not like him at all”. (L145-147.)
In this text we meet many actions, that can point us in direction of one or another theme. Death, loneliness, stress, egoism, climate change and personal development are probably the main themes of this text.
“A coroner had to be found before the body could be taken off the plane and tracking down a coroner in Goose Bay in the middle of the night was proving difficult”(L.398). Here can we see them taking about death.
