Inciting Incident- The inciting incident is on page 10 when Alan shows the group " a soggy piece of paper". But when Alan is about to share what it is Mr Dalton yells at the group to go inside. I think it is mucus from a creature of some sorts?

Archetypes: The topic of my book is rags to riches. This is because "castle" the main charter starts off very poor and I think at the end of the book he will join a competitive track team and be rich.

SUMMARY: The main charter is castle aka ghost, Which is his nickname. Its about a poor teenager who is very good at track and gets into a team. The story takes place in a urban city. The trouble is about his family's money issue.

VISUALIZE: On page 10 of "ghost" when castles dad came in and tried to harm him and his mom. I could envision a fat middle aged man with blood shot eyes. With a tiny pistol, Missing shots trying to get the mom. I could vision broken glass on the floor, the smell of alcohol, and feeling so motionless that even I feel dizzy from reading this part of the story.

MAKING CONNECTIONS: The connections between my day to day life and D-day are battles. Now what led to D-day was a lot of small battles and wars and in real life I have to battle teachers assignments and homework. But these battles don't end. They lead up to a big war AKA the project due tomorrow. That's how my book is connected to my day to day life.

Characterization: Captain Charles is a general of the group that is invading the Nazi empire. At first he seems fearless and emotionless, Described as a veteran that has been through wars. But when he and his crew are cornered by some Nazi soldiers and he starts acting scared and afraid. (268)

ANTAGONIST: The antagonist in D-day is not really a person but a nation: Nazi Germany. This is hinted alot in the book in the back the book it states "American forces are trying to invade Nazi Germany.". Since the protagonist is america than that hits that Nazi Germany is the antagonist.

STATIC vs DYNAMIC: One of the Charters named captain Charles, he is static. " He was not even startled by the enemy warship coming at his boat" This shows that he will not change emotion even through life or death situation meaning he is a static charter.

CONFLICT: the conflict of d-day is the USA invading the Nazi empire . This type of conflict is society vs society. This is stated at the start of chapter one page 5: "The goal of d-day was no less than the total defeat of Hitlers regime."
