Status Updates From Verscheurd

I read this a while ago, I got no idea

We get introduced into the main character and her squad while they walk through the deserts of Afghanistan and find out she is named Ellinor and is a combat medic. Her squad and her are somewhat new and start walking to the village they were told to report to.

pls if anything happens to husna im gonna be so done 😭

“'Salamun Alaykum' is from the Qur'an and it's only used by the angels when they welcome the dead into paradise."

wait so she might be an angel????

The climax of my book was the battle at Husna and the young martyrs village. I think that this is the climax because it was when the main quest of the story was at the finish and also the part where the story begins to end. There were many parts of the book that were similar but that part of the story fits best as the climax.

I think that the inciting incident was when the main characters group stumbled upon a fight between the young martyrs and the people believed to be the bombers of their village. The reason I think that the inciting incident is because it starts the whole thing of finding out more about the young martyrs. It came a little later in the story than other books but that is what I think started up the main challenge.

My book is quest because the main character and her fellow soldiers are fighting towards the goal of discovering more about the young martyrs and also possibly stopping them too. The main character befriended a captured young martyr and is helping him find out about the people that bombed his village. In return, he is telling them information about the young martyrs. This is all for one goal of ending the taliban.

A supporting character in my book is Yugi and his friends. In this point of the book they only helped to develop the main character and bring more life to the soldiers. Another side character is McQueen who only helps to develop the story further and doesn't do much other than that. Yugi was a good influence to Nielson and his personality brought relief to the reader from the serious parts in the book.

A time that I could visualize what was happening in my head was when Yugi stepped on a mine and started getting shot at by a sniper. The author described the scenery well so that the reader could feel the suspense of the situation. Another time I could visualize the scene was when the soldiers went to the village to investigate. The author described the scene very well so we could feel what the soldiers were feeling.

This book reminds me of another book so I can make a connection with Text to Text. This book is about war so it reminded me about Bamboo People. They are both about soldiers in a war and the struggles of that. Torn is about the Afghanistan war and Bamboo People is about the war between the Burmese and the Karenni.
