Jacob's Ladder - What is a suitable piece of music to convey the mood of Chapter 1?

Amos, thank you for your reminder on Friday. I had almost forgotten to come out with an entry for Jacob's Ladder.

In this weekend blog assignment, read Chapter 1 of Jacob's Ladder. What do you think is the mood created by the writer? We agreed in class last Wed that the narrative was suspenseful. There were many questions which Jacob had asked but very few were answered.

Therefore, identify the mood of the narrative account and find a piece of music or song on youtube that conveys it (N.B. copy and paste the URL of the video clip in your comments). Tell me why you think your selection is suitable. We would conduct a class poll to identify the most appropriate background music for Chapter 1.

Read on and have a good weekend!
