TIME CONTEXT

The text we are dealing with is a quite complex text because of his poetical language, a due for that, determining a timeline is quite difficult.

The story is structured into two parts, and each one has a single and definite story. So for that, we can explain that the text narrates two parallel stories of two different lives. On one hand there is the story of Sand and in the other hand, the life of Harry Soot.

When we are describing those two lives, we can notice that the narration is fully of spatial and temporal expressions all that melt with flash-forward images.

The author of the text, Stephanie Strickland, doesn’t tell us the time, and neither the same text. But it is supposed that it is a story that interrelates two different descriptions of tow different lives that at the end they intertwine and probably they are related with the present time. For that, we can mention that the time context is contemporaneous.
