Visualize:
In my book the author helps the reader visualize what is going on through sounds, feelings, and even smells. For example my character is a personal bodyguard, so things like the sound of bombs going off or gunshots or even the smells of poisonous gas can help the reader visualize the situation and understand it much better.

Story Archetypes:
The book that I am reading has two types of story archetypes. The first one is rags to riches. This archetype applies to my book because my main character is not very wealthy and is fighting to make money. He eventually gets recruited by a bodyguard organization, they fund his family needs. The quest is the second archetype, because my character has to reach a goal while facing many obstacles.

Antagonist:
The antagonist of my group is anybody or any group of people that is working to prevent Connor from protecting his assignment. Connor protects high profile people and anybody that is trying to harm his assignment is an antagonist. This could be a terrorist group, angry fans, mentally ill people etc.

Supporting Characters: The main character in my story is Connor. His role is to be a kid bodyguard and protect high profile people. I think that the supporting characters play a major role in this series and to helping the main character. I think the most important supporting character is Colonel Black. He provides a good influence for the main character and helps him through difficult times.

Audience and Purpose:
The audience that this book targets are mainly children under 18. It tries to make connections with those people. The book is an action book and its purpose is to get more kids adventurous and curious. It also targets kids that do martial arts or any type of fighting and shows them the good ways that their fighting skill sets can be used.

Genre:
The genre of this book is action/adventure and falls under the category of fiction. I know this because in the book the setting and the places that my character visits are all fake and not actually places in the real world. The characters are also fake, the people that the main character protects such as the president and his daughter are not real people and never were the presidents.

Conflict:
The conflict in my book is character vs society. The main character in the book is a child bodyguard named Connor. His job is to protect high profile celebs around his age. He has to protect his assignment from enemies. The conflict could also be character vs character if he is protecting hsi assignment from only one person.

Setting:
The setting of the story is in Whales in the modern century. It takes place in the 2010. There are multiple scenes in the book that indicate the time period and setting. For example in the first part of the story the character Conner gets recruited to be a bodyguard. He gets picked up and during the drive he talks about the scenery and is drive to whales.

Point of View: 3rd person limited
The book has an outside narrator. Even though the narrator isn't a 1st person narrator, they are still able to understand the characters thoughts and feelings and emotions. In the book there is a boy named Conner, he is being recruited by a company to be a bodyguard for famous people. The narrator is able to understand all of Conner's emotions, thoughts, and feelings.

Point of View: 3rd Person Limited
The story is told by an outside narrator, but the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of the main character. The main character in this book is a boy named Conner. He is being recruited to be a bodyguard for famous people. Even though it isn't a first person narrator, the narrator is still able to understand all of the thoughts and feelings of the character.

The climax of my story is when my character attempted to go back into life by going into a forbidden place in the afterlife. She failed and was nearly killed, but her friends saved her. After this event she learned her lesson and lived in the afterlife

The inciting incident was when my character was hit by a car in the start of the book and died. After that event she was in the afterlife and everything else followed that.

The plot of my story is a rebirth. My character experiences and unforeseen event and is forced to change her ways. In the case of the book, my character got hit by a car and is dead. Now, in the afterlife she has to change her behaviors and adjust to her new life.

The supporting character in my book would be the main character's grandma. She provides a role in making sure that the main character is taken care of and that she stays a good person.

I did have a few smells, sounds, tastes and feelings evoked. Some of them happened when my character was near the docks and it felt like I could almost smell the ocean water. Also when my character was just coming to realize the fact that she was dead, she felt super angry and surprised. Then finally when my character was in the offices to sign paper work it felt like I was there

I think the connection I can make between the book and the world is the moment that the character in my book (Liz) was deciding what job to take in the afterlife she developed a bad attitude. She was overthinking the job and was scared to try it for the first time. I think many people do the exact same thing she did when they are trying something new.

The dialogue in my book reveals that the the character is very hyper and very quick to jump to conclusions. After she found out she was in the afterlife she was crying so I guess you could say emotional as well. She is also in her own world at times and is deep inside her own reality.

The antagonist of my book is really the afterlife. There isn't one specific person or thing. The character in the book is upset because she is in the afterlife and has no way of getting back to Earth. I guess the character is also kinda of her own antagonist because it is because of her she is in the after life, and its up to her to try and get out of the afterlife.

The book that I'm currently reading (Elsewhere) falls into fiction, fantasy, and maybe a little bit of horror. I know this book is these certain genres because the title states Elsewhere which is an indication to the after life. Also, throughout the book it talks a little bit about horror, and the characters are fake and the setting is fantasy.

The protagonist of my book is Gregory, He is a athletic and smart person. He always likes to explore and can sometimes be reckless. He is brave though and I think is the main character of the story because of his personality.

So far in the book Gregory's uncle Max has invited him to spend the holidays with him in Vermont. Gregory's invites his friend Brian to go with him. While they are there they find that their luggage has gone missing. They find a board game called the game of sunken places. That game leads them out in to the woods where they discover strange things such as trolls and more. When Uncle Max finds out he gets upset.

I predict that Gregory's sickness will get worse and that it will impact there quest of finishing the game. I also think that they will find a propeller for the boat and will wander on. I think that they will also get in some type of trouble and will be stuck in a pickle.

CONFLICT: The conflict in the story is that Brian and Gregory have got to finish a mysterious game that doesn't seem real. They are racing against another person and if they don't beat the other person something bad will happen to them.

So currently Brian and Gregory have met their uncle and are living with him in his mansion. They find him pretty odd and find the place odd. Their luggage bags have gone missing. I wonder what will happen next ?
