Otis H is finished with Cup of Gold
For the main character in this book, I would tell him I’m the beginning of the book to be adventures and have fun. But don’t get kidnapped by pirates and make sure that you stay on track, this way he would not experience any of the problems he did when finding panama,

Cup of Gold

Otis H
Otis H is on page 107 of 187 of Cup of Gold
This book is set in the 17th century, the unwritten rules and expectations of society were very different than today. For instance, when Henry Morgan tries to leave the ship and have his own adventures he is basically kidnapped. Back then the world was run by either tyrants of dictators/communists. So you didn’t really have a say in society. You had to do what you were told and live by a very strict set of rules.

Cup of Gold

Otis H
Otis H is on page 76 of 187 of Cup of Gold
This book in my opinion is a biographical fictional novel. It falls into that genre because the story is about deep sea adventures and the life of Henry Morgan and Panama. This book is also about the love life of some of the characters. In some ways it is also a historical fantasy sub genre book because if the events of Henry Morgan’s life.

Otis H is on page 24 of 96 of The Pearl
A symbolic archetype in this story is the pearl, it has more than one meaning. To the characters it is like holy stone, but also to the characters it is in some ways dangerous. I think the pearl might lead them to greatness but I’m not to sure what it will do. I also noticed that religion is a symbolic archetype in this story because they count on it to survive in some ways and hey also have mixed feelings for it.

This book has text that relate to me and the world. This book relates to me because when the party can’t get supported by their society it is similar when I ask my parents for something and don’t get it because I don’t have enough support by one parent. It relates to the world because the party can’t get the apple orchard workers to go on strike which is what many people wanted teachers to do not too long ago.

The main characters in this story are the communist party members (Jim Nolan). The story is about how they try to free the apple orchard workers from extremely low pay. The book takes place in the early 1930’s. The inciting incident was when Jim Nolan joined the communist party. The story is told in chronological order. (One event after the other or time order).

Otis H is on page 80 of 107 of Of Mice and Men
This story is a plot driven story because it is pushed by the things that happen because they cause more things to happen. One example is at the beginning of the story when one of the main characters was fired from his job and him and his buddy had to leave town and find a different job in a different town. The action of being fired caused another action of them having to leave the town and find a new job.

Otis H is on page 155 of 256 of Tortilla Flat
Tortilla Flat is a quest archetype because the main character and his companions set out to buy or steal more wine when ever they get the chance. They face obstacles of losing friends because they steal from each other to buy wine. The main character and his companions make this story a comedy as well because they do funny things to gain friendships and live a completely non sober life of mischievous and fun.

So far, tortilla flats is a low a fictional novel with some historical and urban fantasy parts in it. It is historical because it is set in an old city in the 19th century and it has some magical elements. It is urban fantasy because it is a fantasy novel set in the 19th century.

I think that from the event where Starr’s friend went against her in an argument about officer 115 killing. She also unfollowed Starr on tumblr and they are having tension. My prediction is that they will not become friends and his argument may escalate into Starr’s “white” school finding out she’s not wealthy and lives in a ghetto neighbor hood.

The setting of the hate u give takes place in a classic ghetto neighbor in America. The book does not give the exact city but it is defiantly in America. It takes place around 2016 time. The character lives in a ghetto neighbor hood but goes to school in a well-of neighbor hood, so she acts differently around the different people from different neighbor hoods.

The hate you give has a character vs. society conflict between girls at Starr’s ‘white school’ and Starr. Starr is upset with the girls at her school because they are complaining about their vacation to the Bahamas yet her vacation was in the seat of her friends car whilst he was getting shot and killed by the police. They often complain about the lavish lives they are living yet Starr lives in the hood.

A static character in this story would be Coyotito because he didn’t change when Kino found the pearl and became rich, he still had his scorpion bite and a dynamic character is Kino because he was in a way careless with his money and not conserving it like he was before he found the pearl. He bought items that he didn’t necessarily need and he would not have done that if he had never found the pearl.

Otis H is finished with Who Killed Mr. Chippendale?: A Mystery in Poems
Mike Curry is unsympathetic, crazy, and thoughtless. Mike is distrustful, and aggressive because he killed Mr. Chippendale, and is living a wasteful life. What motivates Mike is attention, because he killed. Mr. Chippendale for attention because no one payed any attention to him. So when the school found out he would have a lot of attention, not from students but from faculty because students weren’t allowed to know.

The tension is is secret. Delia says,” I wish Mr. Chipendale would go to hell.” And she didn’t like him at all. On the other hand Celia her twin says,” I wish he goes to heaven, I loved everything he did.” This is secret because the twins haven’t shared each other’s personal opinions with each other yet and if they did, they would try to change their opinions and think using the other twins brain and not their own.

Otis H is on page 45 of 100 of Who Killed Mr. Chippendale?: A Mystery in Poems
Delia Campbell is an unsympathetic character, she says,” she wishes Mr. Chippendale goes straight to hell”. This is unsympathetic because she doesn’t care about what’s other people feelings are by hoping that he goes to hell. This's rude considering what has happened to Chippendale. She is unsympathetic even towards he twin sister, because he sister says,” she wishes that he goes straight to heaven.

My story is told in 3rd person limited because, I only know what my characters know in the story. It isn’t told in 1st person because, the characters are not telling the story. It is not 3rd person omniscient because, the narrator doesn’t know everything. I only know what the characters do. It’s told in 3rd person limited so you can make predictions but at the same time not know every single thing that’s going on.

Otis H is on page 253 of 704 of The Fountainhead
So far the fountainhead is a character vs society story and Howard Roark is the character. He is faced with the society/city not caring or taking in anything he does. But he does not care for it and it doesn’t seem to affect him. The town doesn’t look at any of his sketches, they also don’t pay attention to the jobs he has at the unpopular firm or his job at the Francon quarry.

Roark is more talented but no one appreciates it yet. Peter often comes to Roark and asks for help but he knows that Roark is better.

What the story is about and how it is written determines the genres and sub genres of the book. The genre and sub genres are, adventure and realistic fiction. The tone is thoughtful and day to day life, the setting is New York City in the 1960’s. The plot is for the character to become a better architect and help his friend. These Genres are here because they fit with how the book is written can’t and how it sounds.
