Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Jono’s laughter and innocence in his confusion over human customs (e.g., the banana split) in Episode 4 contrasts sharply with Beverly’s devastation and desperation in Episode 5 as she tries to prove her crew’s reality. The innocence of not knowing is juxtaposed with the trauma of being the only one who knows."
