Writer and Audience
Yeonmi Park lived in North Korea and escaped her home at the age of thirteen with her Mother. Her escape of North Korea took her to China and Mongolia which was an harrowing experience. Park obtained freedom with her Mother two years later from their initial escape when she finally reached South Korea. Park would later reunite with her sister, Eunmi, in South Korea and would slowly find her footing in a world vastly different from the life she has known in North Korea.
The audience of this novel would be anyone who is curious about North Korea. Park writes about her life and offers an insider look into North Korea and the difficult journey of escaping. This novel was written by Park with the intention of giving the audience an intimate insight of her life and informing them of the nation she came from.

“In North Korea, we were taught that the Yankee imperialists started the war, and our soldiers gallantly fought off their evil invasion. In fact, the United States military returned to Korea for the express purpose of defending the South” (Park 23).
Logos
Through out the novel, Park provides facts of North Korea to give context to readers. In this particular quote, Park shows the nature of North Korea. She compares the truth she was taught in North Korea to the truth everybody else knew. The contrasts between these two perceived facts shows readers of how North Korea is a nation willing to manipulate history and information. Therefore manipulating their citizens by extension as they will be taught these facts.

“As soon as I was old enough to understand, my mother warned me that I should be careful about what I was saying (...) she said gently, ‘even when you think you’re alone, the birds and mice can hear you whisper’” (Park 19).
Ethos
Park mainly uses Ethos and Pathos in her novel. For instance, the quote on the screen shows how Park plays on her audience’s sense of ethics and beliefs.
Many readers will be shocked by this quote. It is strange for a mother to encourage silence from their child and this image Park creates goes against the beliefs of readers. All of us have been taught that we have the freedom of speech and that we have the right to speak our minds and freely express ourselves. This belief is deeply rooted in us and the quote causes a knee-jerk reaction within people as it goes against the ethics and values we were taught as children. Park’s contradiction of these belief unsettles readers as they are confronted by the uncomfortable reality of North Korea.

“I lived in North Korea, the country where we were supposed to have nothing to envy, and all I felt was envy-desperate envy for the people on the other side of the river. I still didn’t dare to think about why we couldn’t have so many things in North Korea, but I knew that I wanted to go where there was light and food” (Park 106).
Pathos
This quote on the screen exhibits Pathos. It shows Park’s confusion and desperation as cracks are appearing in her faith in North Korea. The last sentence in particular tugs on reader’s heartstrings. Park’s desire for light and food appears to be such a basic thing to people outside of North Korea. Park’s desperate desire and envy contrasts how readers may have taken the light and food in their lives for granted, which put things in perspective for readers.

“I never even got to visit Hollywood on that trip, although I was hoping to run into Leonardo DiCaprio to tell him how much Titanic had meant to me growing up in North Korea” (Park 259).
Devices (Allusion)
Park makes allusions to Titanic and other media in her novel. While growing up in North Korea, Park grew up in Jangmadang Generation where some children were able to watch movies, play games, and listen to music from the black market. Park says that media from outside North Korea introduced concepts like freedom to her and many others. Media has also shown them what the world outside of North Korea was like.

“When my father was sober, he treated my mother like gold. But when he was drinking, it was a different story” (Park 59).
Devices (Simile)
In this simile, the behavior of Park’s father is compared to gold. In this section of the book, Park explains how men in North Korean society are taught that they were superior. Women and men were segregated in certain aspects of life. In addition, it was common place for husbands to physically hurt their wives. Park takes great care to explain the culture in North Korea but makes it a point to never excuse the terrible things believed in North Korean culture.
