I would say she is very strong because she says "dying is to easy, it turns out its to easy." In the early part of the book. I think the author makes her so strong because she couldn't survive if she wasn't and that makes the whole book fail. She makes the book flow and without her it would be boring and predictable.]]> 2016-10-03 18:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/127981004 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/127981915 In a way I think that Max the dead co pilot is the antagonist because he is her hallucination and if he wasn't there I think it would force her to realize how strong she is as a character. I know that the author did this to make the story more interesting and unpredictable, and it worked, but to make it more realistic I think could of got rid of his character. ]]> 2016-10-03 18:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/127981915 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128262148 Since there are not many continuously active characters in my book the Static Character I chose is also the antagonist. He is always trying to do things for Robie and always knows what to do in her hallucinations he is never weak and is never different. For example when there is a dead body in a suit that could have a tracker in it he tells her she has to get it and keeps saying she has to get it. He in a way bosses her around. I think S. A. Bodeen made it this way to keep him in the story. Without his character the book would be boring with only one character.]]> 2016-10-04 17:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128262148 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128263169 A dynamic character was Robie. Robie continued to change a lot throughout the text. She starts out as an uneasy, weak little incapable girl. Over the course of the story she begins to see how strong she can be and how strong she actually is. The author S. A. Bodeen does  a really good way of showing this. In the early parts of the book she has Robie saying "All I wanted to do was dye float to the bottom of the ocean and die." But only a few pages later saying "It turns out dying is to easy" this already shows how shes getting and learning to be stronger. ]]> 2016-10-04 17:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128263169 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264384 The resolution of this book was her getting rescued of course. Kind of predictable but the author had so many other elements in the story it didn't seem to matter. Part of the resolution was her being reunited with her family. On her trip home in the boat she was very nervous about her food supply and a little obsessive over everything. Of course the author had to do this to make it realistic. The resolution was well written I think because the author made it exciting still and didn't just get lazy about it and make it boring.]]> 2016-10-04 17:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264384 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264539 In my book the exposition that I found was pretty long. I think the exposition didn't end until she stepped onto the plane. All the stuff before that was unneeded for understanding of the story but it was there to make a good book, so I think its good. It made me question a little bit what the book actually was about. Obviously I found out. I think the author put the long unneeded exposition in there to put a start on the story. It worked well and gave us a background of the story. I liked having it.]]> 2016-10-04 17:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264539 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264668 The setting was in the middle of the ocean. She was in a plane crash and shes living in a raft with the co pilot Max. About half way through the book she finds a island and the setting changes from the raft to a sand beach. I think the author wrote with not much of a setting because it gives the story more of a cliff hanger. Also it makes people want to keep reading when they don't know what the resolution will be. ]]> 2016-10-04 17:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128264668 dehecele https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128265629 The conflict in this book is pretty obvious, she's in a plane crash and stuck in the middle of the ocean with only a raft and a few kind of useless supplies.
But what isn't so obvious are the conflicts inside the main conflict like the fact that she has no food or that the raft has a hole in it, maybe sharks.  I think the author put many conflicts in this book to make her situation tougher and seem more hooking for the readers. It also goes back to showing how strong she is.]]> 2016-10-04 17:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dehecele/theraft/wish/128265629
