The language of the text is often offered in real time. Paulsen uses the language of the book to describe his heart-beat, whether he is presently nauseated, what he is afraid of, curious about, frustrated with, and in awe of. In many ways, the prose is very descriptive, especially of his animals and the Alaskan landscape, both of which he finds deep and beautiful in their own way.
