Original Paragraph:
The whole of Russia had gone mad. And if Anton Klassen didn't get off this stalled passenger train soon, he feared he would join his comrades in their race toward insanity. He had lost all feeling in his right arm long ago, pinned by a sleeping soldier's bobbing head of greasy black hair. He nudged his elbow into the side of the snoring, vodka-reeking man who'd made a pillow of Anton's shoulder, but he failed to disodge the parasite. At least his seatmate couldn't ask questions while he slept.
Now I am going to do an analysis of this paragraph:
I think that this paragraph is actually pretty interesting, and by the time that you are done reading it, you want to know what happened to Anton. I especially like the description and humor skills that this person has, for example, when he describes the soldier I can just see him there, laying on his shoulder. This person also uses humor when he calls the soldier a "Parasite." I thought that that was pretty funny myself. In my opinion, this is a wonderful way to start a book.
