Bastian stabs Atreyu with his sword, and he falls to his death from the Tower.

4. Tone of climax in the novel : The neverending story

The tone

Serious, fear, Suspenseful

Evidence:

a. “War, sire!” cried the faun. “Atreyu has gathered a host of rebels and is on his way here with
three armies. They demand that you give up AURYN. If you will not, they mean to take it by
force.” The rousing music and the shrill cries of jubilation gave way to a deathly silence. Bastian
turned pale

b. The night of the battle was starless, full of smoke and flames. Fallen torches, overturned
censers, and shattered lamps had set the Tower on fire in many places. The fighters cast eerie
shadows. Weapons clashed and battle shouts resounded. Everywhere, through the flames and
the darkness, Bastian searched for Atreyu. “Atreyu!” he shouted. “Atreyu, show yourself! Stand
up and fight! Where are you?”

5. Conflict in the film Augush rush is when

The conflict in this film belongs to internal conflict (when august should make decision). Evan Taylor
causes conflict of the major characters in the film. It make him feel anxiety. The proof is when he should
decide to follow his fake father (Maxwell Wallace, a.k.a. "Wizard") or to continue rehearsal his concert.
This internal conflict of Evan take place inside on Evan’s mind.

6. Mood of resolution of the neverending story

Relieved,
Eveidence : Tell me, Argax, what must I do?” “Find a wish that will take you back to your world.” After a
long silence Bastian asked: “Argax, can you tell me how many wishes I have left?” “Not very many. In my
opinion three or four at the most. And that will hardly be enough. You’re beginning rather late, and the
way back isn’t easy. You’ll have to cross the Sea of Mist. That alone will cost you a wish. What comes
next I don’t know. No one in Fantastica knows what road you people must take to get back to your
world. Maybe you’ll find Yor’s Minroud, that’s the last hope for people like you. But I’m afraid that for
you it’s, in a manner of speaking, too far. Be that as it may, you will, just this once, find your way out of
the City of the Old Emperors.” “Thanks, Argax,” said Bastian. The little gray monkey grinned. “Goodbye,
Bastian Balthazar Bux.”

The neverending story use third person omniscient POV. The writer comment on some the character’
