If I was going to give Teddy some advice it would be to not trust the FBI. I would give this advice because every time Teddy would give them information, they would take all the credit and cut him out. More advice I would give him is to ask for a raise. I would give this advice to him because he and his mom are struggling financially, and the owner owes him for all the trouble he went through for him.

It is a character driven plot. Teddy, the main character, drives the plot because of his experiences and how he grows. An example of this is when he decided to steal the federal truck and chase after the robbers. In this scenario, he drove the plot by growing and by his actions, what he experiences.

There is a connection with Panda-Monium and Outer Banks. More specifically Teddy, from Panda-Monium, and John B, from outer banks. They both have a similar path. In the book Teddy goes on a hunt with his rich girlfriend to find their lost panda. In Outer Banks, John B goes on a hunt with his rich girlfriend to find 400 million dollars. Teddy works for his rich girlfriends dad. This is the same with John B.

Two symbol archetypes are Black and Clouds. Black is a symbol for the evil the robbers have. They symbolize black because they show no sympathy towards animals, and towards the zoo. Clouds are another symbol archetype because it shows mystery. All of the trouble the FBI and Teddy go through to find the panda, this symbolizes clouds. These are some of the symbol archetypes for Panda-Monium.

Some of the genres are dystopia, realistic fiction, & mystery. Mystery is a genre because the book is about them looking for their missing panda, Li Ping. Realistic fiction is a sub genre because of the laws, physics, etc.The story takes place in a regular neighborhood and zoo, at a regular time. Dystopia is a sub genre because of the justice that the criminals are served. The zoo suffers because of the lost panda.

Some rules and expectations are that you not challenge the owner of the zoo and that you only do your job, no fooling around. Something that is considered wrong is that you should not mess with Summer. Something that is considered right is when you finish your job early. When Teddy decided to constantly question the owner, he was seen as an outcast. When he helped Summer in after hours, he was seen as being elite.

However, Booth didn’t stop at Lincoln, he continued to go after high value politicians with the help of Lewis Powell and David Herold and George Atzerodt. James L Swanson writes the book in chronological order.

Voyagers has at least two story archetypes, The Quest and Voyage.The Quest is an archetype because they search to find an important object, one of the seven elements. Another story archetype is Voyage. Voyage is an archetype because Team Alpha travels to a strange land, a new planet containing the element that they were assigned to retrieve.

Project Alpha, Voyagers contains many different types of fantasy genres. One genre is Science Fantasy. Voyagers is Science Fantasy because they travel to new planets without oxygen tanks and ride flying horses. Another genre is High Fantasy. High Fantasy is a genre because the stories setting takes place in a made up world with made up elements. The characters also have superhuman powers.

In 1846, many families joined the westward expansion. After undergoing many harsh weather conditions their only food source was each other.

The author wrote this novel to inform and educate people about Jackie Robinson’s important feats and milestones he has overcome. The author writes a lot about Jackie’s disadvantages and how he conquered them. Jackie was racially profiled, called mean names, and prohibited from entering certain facilities and leagues. The audience mainly interests baseball players, African Americans, or people who enjoy sports.

The three main character’s traits in the short story The Witch Cat are sneaky, independent, and cruel.Some of the characters flaws and weaknesses of Effie’s are not thinking things through and not listening to anybody else.Somethings that motivate Effie are the troubles that he encountered as a kid.Effie was bitten and scratched by a cat and wanted every other person in his town to experience the same.

The tension in the short story Ghost Cap revolves around the Ghost of Old Peter. The author uses anticipation of conflict because the Girl already knows that the ghosts haunts people in her town around midnight. One night the girl stayed out late but, she kept a look out for the ghost to avoid it.

The unsympathetic characters in my book are the robbers. They are unsympathetic because they don’t care about the hardworking miller’s feelings or about his daughters. The robbers are unsympathetic because they make decisions that the sympathetic character (the Miller) wouldn’t do.

The point of view is third person omniscient. In the beginning of each story, the narrator gives information about each city/state/town/village. One example of this was when the narrator stated, “There once was a small village in Japan,” also in this story the narrator also knows how the ghosts/ monsters appear to some people and not others without even introducing a character.

The conflict in Clockwork is Character vs. Self. Herr is trying to overcome depression. Depression are thoughts or memories inside your head so only can beat it/overcome it.

The protagonist is Herr Ringelmann is battling sadness, the antagonist. I know this because Fritz, states, “Ive never seen the lad so gloomy before.” Herr continues to drink and change the subject after the topic comes up.

The genre is science fiction and the sub-genre is mystery/witchcraft. I know this because one character (Karl) states, “it appears Fritz has swallowed a cloud, that is why he is gloomy.”

The structure is problem and solution. Hatchet’s structure is problem and solution because Brian runs into many bumps or problems and has to think of ways to get around to solve them. Another reason why this is a problem and solution is because when Brian’s plane crashed he had to survive with the little resources that he had.

The minor character is Brian’s father. Brian’s father, a divorced man who lives in canada, wants to see his son. The only problem is that Brian’s mom lives in New York City. The author specifically chooses these locations because there would more possible challenges the family could overcome on Brian’s journey. The dad is not a distraction because he is concerned and wants to save his son every chance he gets.

The Archetypal Symbol in Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is wilderness/forest. It is this because when Brian crash lands in the forest, he has to thrive and survive for himself. Brian has to break the rules and be a little selfish to get supplies and food.
