Stage+2

Stage 2: During reading Q. In the role of your chosen character, write what you saw during the main events and what you thought or felt about what was happening. “Mommy “the girl cried “Mommy.” My brain started turning, I started giving instructions while trying to think for myself at the same time, I knew I had to be quick or the child in the burning building would die, Astrid handed me a wet cloth “the smoke is the main killer, remember to stay low on the ground.” I nodded my head and ran for the entrance door. Inside I bolted up the narrow staircase, at the top of the stirs I hit a storm of smoke, tears started to swell up in my eyes, the smoke started to engulf my lungs. I dropped to the ground and started crawling forwards. “Kid can you hear me?” I shouted “yell so I can find you.” There was a faint cry “Mommy.” I crawled towards the direction of the cry. I banged on the apartment door “Mommy” the child cried. I couldn’t open the door without getting up into the smoke above me. I was scared and angry at the people who had put me up to this but at the same time I felt proud of myself for volunteering for such a stressful job. Ok 1, 2, 3 I jumped up into the smoke and bashed the door open, their on the floor was little girl, five at the most. “It’s ok I’m here now.” I must have looked terrifying because the girl moved away from me. “It’s ok” I said gently but she wasn’t buying it, she hopped of the ground and extended her palms in my face. I didn’t know what to expect so I dropped to the ground and fire blasted out of the girls palms. Flame! Shooting out of those little hands, aimed at him. He looked up disbelieving what he was watching, it was impossible, but now she was lining up for a second shot and this time she would kill him. I shot up and extended my palms, green light burst out like an exploding star. The girl fell on her back. I crawled to her and started shaking, no, no, no, how had this happened. I scooped the kid into my arms and started to inch out the window, miraculously there were a pair of hands waiting to catch the girl, I started to climb down the ladder and fell to the ground, I was instantly sprayed with water, I gulped greedily, then my mind floated out of consciousness. Q. Draw a map (sketch, use art rage or windows movie maker) of the setting and mark in where the main events occurred. Use numbers to show the orders of events and write brief notes for each number around or underneath the map. Q. Make a list of the characters as you meet them and beside each one write brief notes about their appearance, personality and actions.

Q. Predict how you think the novel will end. What are the possibilities? (Write about these questions when you are more than half way through the novel.) A. I Think that the town will still be deprived of adults and Sam will become their true leader. I also hope they will see how Caine is a cheat who just wants power. Q. when you finish reading, think over the actions of the main character. Would you have acted differently? Why or why not? A. I think Sam acted extremely well on most occasions but he should never have run-off and should have always stuck with the town people in their moments of need. Also I think Sam needed to be more ruthless, he should never have let Howard or Orc take the leadership position at the beginning, he should have put them in their places and burned them to a crisp!
