The effect is that I can understand each character and read them differently.]]> 2022-01-26 15:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013851576 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013852267 I believe the author chose to write in alternating chapters to leave the reader on a clif hanger every time. The author did this because it causes readers to keep reading because they always want to know more. ]]> 2022-01-26 15:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013852267 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013856585 I think that the author chose to write in that style to keep the reader hooked and to tell multiple stories in one book. It can keep the reader from getting bored and keep them invested in the book, keeping the story going while still having something to look forward to in the next chapter. In other words this style of writing doesn’t get boring.]]> 2022-01-26 15:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013856585 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013856939 I think the author wrote in alternating chapters because there are some hidden messages between these people and their country's. An effect it has on me is I am going to get mixed up with the characters. ]]> 2022-01-26 15:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013856939 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857155 I think the author chose to write in alternating chapters because he wanted to talk about different children’s perspectives and the different countries they are living in, and it makes you feel for the children. The alternating chapters keeps me interested in the book and makes me want to read on. ]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857155 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857264 By Aaden, I think the author wrote in alternative chapters so, the readers get excited for the next time it does a re-run of the characters. This form can get the readers hooked on the novel wondering what will happen to say Josef after you read the other two chapters.]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857264 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857465 I think that the author chose to alternate chapters because it makes it more interesting for the reader.

I think the author chose to do alternating because it gives a pause on the one character and you get excited to see what happens so it makes you read more. I don’t like alternating because the last chapter is not fresh in my brain.]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013857845 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858453 I think the author wrote in alternating chapters to show similarities between what is happening to the different charters. This has the same affect on me as why the author wrote this story, I can see similarities between the perspectives. ]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858453 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858466 I think the author chose to do alternating chapters because it keeps you reading to get back to the person that you like to read about. It also gives you a break so you are not reading the same thing for the whole story ]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858466 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858687 I think the author did alternating chapters to see the differences in peoples life styles.]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858687 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858755 i think that the auther chose this style because maybe in the end they find eachother. makes me want to read more ]]> 2022-01-26 15:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013858755 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013859765 I think the author chose to write it because so he dose not have to name every one and you just put they persons name that you are writing about and so he can stop on one and to another one. The effect this has on me is when a chapter ends it’s a cliff hanger so it gets me excited to read the next chapter.]]> 2022-01-26 15:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013859765 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013860505 The author wrote it in different chapters to make the readers read the book because they will be in suspense and wonder what is going to happen next ]]> 2022-01-26 15:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013860505 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/vxsihen9k6fhap4i/wish/2013861243 I think the author wrote in alternating chapters so that you can see the differences in the stories and how difficult others lives can be.
