20. BOTH WRITERS SUGGEST THE WEATHER WAS A MASSIVE HARDSHIP ON THE TRIP.
FOGLE SAYS THE TEMPERATURE WAS SOMETIMES ‘-50°c’ AND WERE ‘BITTERLY COLD’ WHICH SUGGESTS THE WEATHER WAS EXTREMELY HARSH.
SIMILARLY, SCOTT SAYS THE STORM MOVED ‘VIOLENTLY.’ BOTH WRITERS USE ADVERBS TO SHOW THE PAIN AND PUNISHMENT THEY RECEIVED FROM THE WEATHER.

21. BOTH EXPEDITIONS TO THE SOUTH POLE SUFFERED MAJOR PROBLEMS.
THE MAIN HARDSHIP FOR FOGLE WAS HE ‘THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE’ WHICH TELLS THE READER THE EXPEDITION WAS NEARLY FATAL.
IN COMPARISON, SCOTT’S TRIP SEEMS TO BE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS ‘ALL OF US’ ARE CERTAIN IT IS ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ TO MOVE. ‘ALL’ SUGGESTS THAT SCOTT IS NOT BEING PARANOID AND THE WHOLE GROUP (AND THE READER) KNOW THEY ARE IN A BLEAK SITUATION.
