Status Updates From Chasing Redbird

currently on 252 and 261 pages in total. Characterization: My character Zinny is very quite, independent, and a adventurous 13 year old girl who doesn't feel seen in her large family. "She'll get tired of it, you watch, she wont finish it.". This shows how her family doesn't really believe in her to do anything that she does.

ANTAGONIST: The antagonist in this book is Jake Boone, Jake Boone is the protagonist's mother, and the trail of its self. Jake Boone is a boy who pursues Zinny showing romantic feelings and confusing Zinny. The trail symbolizes the challenges on Zinny's face on her journey of self discovery. Zinnys mother is forces the push for Zinny to conform a traditional life.

STATIC VS. DYNAMIC: Zinny is a static character not having much of a personality change or change as in age. Having the same personality in each chapter and no mention yet of age most likely Zinny to be young since this book mentions Aunt Jessie and Uncle Nate. Zinny not experiencing change yet also showing Zinny is a static character.

CONFLICT: Zinny is against another character Uncle Nate and Ben. Zinny is against Ben and Nate because Ben and Nate are seeing Aunt Jessie even though she has passed. "...Do you see Aunt Jessie like Nate sees her?... Nope I don't, do you? of course not but Ben does."(page.57). This site shows how zinny is going against them because he doesn't see Aunt Jessie like Ben and Uncle Nate do.

PREDICTIONS: My prediction on this book is that Aunt Jessie might end up in the hospital. Aunt Jessie on (page.16) "she always said she had a weak heart, and has diabetes which called her sugar and said, My sugar is acting up". Having a weak heart and diabetes can lead to problems with health leading her to the hospital. Mostly leading to a big event in the book.
