Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Tone

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams, is about the story of Arthur Dent and his experiences after Earth is destroyed. It follows the journey of Arthur, a betelgeuse researcher named Ford, a galactic president, the Hitchhiker’s Guide, and the unpredictable events that happen in the universe.

He creates a witty, improbable, haphazard tone throughout the novel which allows the humor to create the atmosphere of absurdity. Story is set in the future after Earth itself is completely destroyed. The adventure starts off in a house. There is very little logical connection between the house and the Vogon Constructor Fleet that destroys planet Earth

He has a very wide and varied selection of both simple and complex sentences. The shorter and simpler sentences force the reader to come to an unexpected stop and continue at a new pace. For example, before Arthur is ejected into space, his thoughts go on and on like a run-on sentence. Despite the fact that Adam breaks it up into several smaller sentences, his word choice of beginning with conjunctions makes it seem like the sentences are all connected. Then, out of the blue, the author puts in the sentence, The motor whirred, then immediately follows with a long and detailed description before ending the chapter (Adams pg. 75). The short sentence serves as a transition to bridge the gap between two different ideas. This again emphasizes the chaotic environment because both the plot and style is unpredictable. There is often a short sentence inserted between several longer, complicated sentences that bring the reader to an abrupt stop. This characteristic of the novel is significant to the motif of the Hitchhiker’s Guide because the remarkable book is considered apocryphal and
