Indentify

Rice, Anne. Blackwood Farm. Random House, inc. 2002. Print

Five Main Elements of my Novel and How They are Used(lacking)
1. Character (Brevity)- In my novel if anything is mentioned it usually has something to do with the story line. Also if a name is mentioned they will most likely somehow be put into the story.
2. Plot- The plot of the novel is simple and can be summarized in one sentence.
3. Conflict- The opposing parties clash throughout this book. In this story the main character is fighting against another person.(who is ghost)
4. Setting- The setting in this books helps alot with the mood and atmosphere of the story.
5. Theme- In tis book I believe that there is no theme or general truth that the author wants to give.


"All of a sudden, a huge gust of wind swept the nearby oak trees, and a shower of leaves came down on the fire, which sent up a roar of crackling, and the wind greatly excited it and increased it, and I saw above it, as best I could, the figure of Goblin as my double, his eyes red in the light of the fire."
Rice, Anne. Blackwood Farm page 523
This quote helps to show that the setting helps the stories mood. When this happened within the book it's trying to help make seem suspenseful. I believe that it does because it seems that everything is going really fast and it goes a little crazy. Thi.s happens near the end right before the majir conflict is about to happen That is why I used this quote

  1. Good blog post. Though, I haven noticed a few spelling mistakes. Like when you listed of "Theme" you mispelled this as tis. The last paragraph contains a few spell mistakes as well. You followed the first instruction. When it came to the second instruction of sorting out the elements in order of importance, this task was not complete. You did describe how each element was lacking or was used in your book and you did use a quote to describe it. Well done! Just check up on your spelling and make sure you do the second task! C:

  2. Good blog post. I noticed that when you made your citation you didnt use brackets may want to fix that in the future. There are also some not needed captitals, overall good post.

  5. Make sure that for a paragraph you indent every time. Also the blog post would flow a lot better if you spaced your numbers a bit more.
