The atmosphere is sad.Throughout the whole city it is sad,glum and dull,Haroun and the sea of stories shows us this when,”It stood so mournfull sea full of Glumfish.”This shows that even animals are sad by calling a fish glum,glumfish.But Haroun and his family are not like the others,they are all happy.

Soraya,Haroun’s mother,was singing in joy and his dad,Rashid,was doing what he loved the most,tellng stories.I knaow that the town of Alifbay is all sad. I think this because in the book it says,”In the North of the sad city stood mighty factories in which (so i’m told) sadness was actually manufactured.”                                                       The author uses personification to give us a better image of what is happenng.

Haroun is a young boy who is full of questions,he’s shown this many times once was when ,”No,come on seriously.”This shows that Haroun wants to know everythįńg.
