The theme of “Ascension in the Moonlight” is making the most
of every moment and every kindness pays off. The narrator diverts from his
original plan and trusts strangers in a strangle place, but he ends up having
one of the best experiences of his life. I liked the casual and candid tone he
uses when he describes jumping on to the steps. He doesn’t claim to have
mastered the task or even to have been completely sure of what happened and
that makes it seem much more realistic and relatable. I also liked when he attributes
his experience to Rev. Paul and Angela who “decided to offer [him], for one
unrewarded moment, no more and no less than their kindness”. The way he describes
them makes the whole amazing situation seem so simple. It’s as if he’s saying
it’s so easy to have an impact on someone.
