Over powering

Author’s note: I am writing this to show my understanding of conflict and resolution.

In the book Gone,  After going in something the kids of Perdido Beach called the FAYZ Sam has many troubles, it is easy to tell though that Sam already has many troubles many troubles and conflicts in his life. Like how Sam does heroic things but fades away fast, or how he never knew his real dad and scared away his step dad. The main conflict is  after all adults disappear and kids discover some strange abilities a war starts between Caine and Sam making it person vs. person.

In the book everyone I Perdido Beach has a basic normal life with bullies and teachers till they disappear. When the strange event happens people stand up to keep order and piece in the town. After many issues Sam teams up with his friends and his biggest crush. Struggling to take in the fact they have no parents and had no time to save many babies that had been left. Many of the kids overcome and move on and continued living there lives.

The conflict was resolved but not truly resolved between Sam and Caine. After many events in the book there is a war just before they poofed they discovered how to beat it. Sam realized that he must stay and fight to save his friends and love, but Caine had already discovered how to beat the beast. When returning to reality Sam caught Caine and temporarily ended the war. Everyone knew that that Caine would return to take his revenge on Sam.

In conclusion Sam had discovered how to use his ability and had temporally  ended the war. Sam also discovered his true friends and his one and only love. Caine had promised to return for his revenge 

Response to A clean well-lighted place

 The young waiter has no patience at all and just wants to go home to bed. The young waiter feels that the old man has had to much to drink and should go home. The old man asked for more till the young waiter makes him go home. The old waiter is a patient. It shows that being patient has better result because sometimes you can make people impatient but don't care. I think that maybe the cafe represents life and the people inside choose how they want to be in life.

The director of this short film had it almost like the story. One major change was the old man was outside in the story but the video he was inside the cafe. Almost the rest was exactly like the book in good detail. Using the strange music in the beginning of the video made and eerie tone, but later was used and sound a little sad instead of eerie. The screen shot lengths seem to be long making it seem to go a little slow.

 I dislike the video because the video is slow and dull. The lighting somewhat takes the dullness away by brightening up the room. Though outside makes it seem extremely dull with the low light. I liked the video when the man went to the bar, because the lighting was good and there was people instead of just one man and some empty seats. I think that it is a good video based off of the story.

A clean, well-lighted place

Author’s Note: This is an essay for Theme analysis, Quotes from texts, and Organization.  Also how in relationship with other books power and control mean everything.

Moms, dads, teacher all adults nowhere to be found gone in the blink of an eye. Kids looking around confused wondering did that just happen or am I crazy. In the book Gone, by Michael Grant the kids of Perdido Beach experience a life changing event, after everybody above 14 disappear. The book shows just how all kids would react with no one to tell them what to do.

 

One reason the book shows how kids would react is by the author creating the situation in the book. Just like real life the author tells how some kids would lead, and other would look up to others. After all grownups disappear other kids think of it as a joke till people start to freak out. Other kids take control and find a way to help out others, but some others try to get all the power and rule the town. Using bullies and other mysterious ways to get the power.

The author also added a strange twist to the story that will surprise many reader of the book. Adding the strange effect also changed the way the events happened in the book. Many people realizing eventually food and other supplies would run out. Just like what Sam a main character of the book said “ We don’t have much supplies and these powers are going to people’s heads”, but symbolism is also used to describe some of the events.

The author uses not a lot but enough to describe some events that happen in the book. When Astrid said “ The power and fear is pulling people to pitch black hole of hopelessness” which is symbolism.  Black in symbolism means evil or tragedy which was a good choice for the event happening in the book.  Another is when Lana was dyeing and said “ I see the most amazing white light but she was pulled back by the movement of my right arm”.  Saying she had saw a bright light which was symbolism, because light means piece for her. Also after Lana’s accident she was in the dessert with cactuses and vultures circling her, both represent tragedy or death.

The author uses symbolism in the story to give clues of what may happen. Also chooses strange event to add on the excitement and suspense to the story. So next time you read a book look for symbolism to give clues on what might happen.
