Minor Characters

The one minor character in the book who I find most intruiging is Mr. Livingston. I find him to be a powerful man, being the former mayor and all. I though that when he came to jail cell to offer to be Finch's lawyer, it was a noble gesture and I think that if he could learn to love his son for the man he is, that would improve his character. I found that when Mrs. Livingston admitted to killing baby Marcus, Mr. Livingston's reaction was a little mild for a murder confession. But, all and all, I find Mr. Livingston to be an interesting minor character.

Lit Narrative

1. I told the story very accurately and made it easy to understand.
2. I used good details to fully explain the effects Alzheimer's Disease has on its victim.
3. Maybe I could have used ome more examples of things that happened during this period of my life.
4. When asked to think of what influences and motivates my writing, this experience came right into my mind.
5. I followed the process of brainstorming, writing a first draft, revising, then typing the final draft.
6. I didn't include any graphics or photographs in my narrative.
7. The gave me useful insight on how I could make my paper more lenghthy.
8. Next time I can make my paper longer on the first draft, so I wont have to add more to make it long enough on the final copy.

The Dash

I feel the dash in my life represents all that I accomplish and the impact that my actions have on others. You do what you can in the time that your given and hopefully, when your dash approaches, you carry no regrets. Whether it be through your own personal accomplishments or the simple things in life that bring you joy, they're all part of what makes up your dash. As it represents the time each person is given to make their mark on the world and on others around them. Make the most of the time you get, have no regrets, and hold no grudges, because you never know when your dash may arrive.

A Gracious Plenty

I find that reading a novel where the main character talks to dead people will be very interesting. It releates to the many TV shows and movies which shadow this storyline, like The Sixth Sense. As I have already read the first 50 pages of this novel, Iv'e found it interesting on how Finch Nobles contacts the dead. I enjoy how the author portrays the dead as individuals who must loose all of "their weight", both physically and mentally, before their souls may rise up and interact with the others in the cemetary. I'm looking forward to reading ahead to see if the local people will begin to eat the vegetables grown by Finch near the cemeatary. I think this book is a sufficient one to base certain writing pieces on, as I find if very interesting.
