We've been looking and studying how we relate to our characters and the real world around us. Now it's time to put yourself into your character's shoes. Thinking about the main character of your book, consider what you would do in their situation. 1. What would your reactions be? 2. How would you handle the situation? 3. What would you do differently? Be sure to use complete sentences and EVIDENCE to support your thinking.
In my book the "Darkness Before Dawn "by sharon Draper,Where I am in it talks about Keisha (character) almost being killed by Jonathon Hathaway(the principled son and new student). Because Jonathon took Keisha to his aparetment and try to kill her. O page 195 it says"I stood trembling behind the chair, terrified I rab once more to the door, screaming for help and fruitlessly ratting the locker doorknob, HELP".
My reaction to what's happineing in my book is differently because keisha just went with him, but she really don't know him that well, she just like him the way he talks to her. If I were inkeisha's shoes before going to his apartment or restarent I have to know him very wellin case if he is starnger kill.
I would handle the situation by runnning away from him, and callthe police for help and arredt him for what he did. So hew can leave me alone.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteHow can you make sure you copy your quotes carefully and spell check? I am a little confused with what your say you would do differently. What steps can you take to reread? If you were Keisha would you be scared if you were in that situation (locked in an apartment with a killer)?
