Blog 7-Significant Charateristics- Chosen to Die

It is really hard to pick just two in this book because were are so many significant characteristics in this book, (just like the last one). But if I had to pick two...

"The Jeep shuddered and she realized what was happening. In the middle of the friggin' blizzard someone was taking potshots at her vechicle."

To understand why this is significant I have to give a little back story, Regan Pescoli is a detective and has been working on the "star crossed killer" case for 2 months. She is driving to pick up her children from their father when her car spins out of control and she realizes this isn't just bad weather, this is the work of the Star crossed killer.

This qoute is significant to the story because this is the moment when she realizes that she isn't the dectective, she's the victim.And she shortly going to encounter the star crossed killer herself, whom she's been look for, for the past 2 months.This is really where the plot begins and it pulls you in to read more.



" 'Long!' I yell and his eyes fly open. In a split second he recognizes me and forgets about the song. 'What the hell?' but he knows, he starts to move from the chair. Too late! I pull the trigger"

For the whole story the reader has learned the way the star crossed killer kills women, ( and only women). He is an organized killer and kills the women for a purpose and does it the exact same way each time. But this is a turning point in the plot when we realize this killer has more then just a problem with women. Which makes this significant to the story. It endeers the reader and makes them want to know why the killer, killed Brady Long...

blog #6- Chosen to Die - Cuts to a book

If I had to cut some parts in my book for the movie. I would cut most of the thoughts of the characters. Plus maybe a few characters that don't have a good attachment to the plot. This would give it more time to focus on the main characters. These cuts probably wouldn't effect the narrative or the storytelling of the movie because a lot of the stuff i would be taking out is just fluff that makes the book longer and adds details not needed.

Blog #5- Nineteen minutes - Suspense

A suspensiful moment in my book is when the dective is called to the scene of a school shooting and goes into the school to find the person shooting. He goes into the locker room where the gunman has just killed 2 more people, he hears footsteps but doesn't know where there coming from. He turns around to a gun pointed at him...

The mood is very eery and you are antisapating the end and want to know what is going to happen. Is the shooter going to kill the dectieve? How many people as has killed? The setting is in a dark, creepy high school change room. Dead bodies around. You can almost imagine the creepy music.

This book goes back in time alot and skips around. its just enough to give foreshadowing in the book and not make you feel confused. Right after the gun is point to him, the next chapter is going back to when he was young to help enhance our knowledge about the character.

Nineteen minutes- Blog #4 Point of view

My book is from the point of view of the narrator. I believe the author chose this kind of point of view because there are so many characters. In total there are probabely 20 characters I've been introduced too. It would be confusing to have to read all those options at the same time. I think it works the thoe storys advantage with a 3rd person point of view. You get to see things from the outside and not in peoples minds which sometimes works out better because then you don't adapt the charcters thoughts and instead make up your own about whats going on. I would not change to point of view, it works for the mood, characters and book in itself.
