My prediction was that Jack was going to try and kill Danny because Jack was drunk and turned possessed. Wendy told Danny to run in the maze that was nearby the hotel. Jack got distracted and killed another person which let Wendy to get a snow-mobile to pick up Danny in the maze. Jack heard the snow-mobile and started chasing Danny. Jack got lost and froze to death while Wendy and Danny escaped and survived.

The point of view for my book is 3rd person omniscient . "She hesitated again, miserably caught, not wanting to leave Danny and the safety of the apartment and at the same time badly needing to reassure herself that Jack was still ... safely packed away." (p 506." The narrator also talks about Jacks POV when he is drinking too much. Also when Danny says REDRUM which eventually turns into MURDER.

The point of view for my book is 3rd person. I know that because the narrator says how all the characters are feeling and their thoughts. On page 506, it states "She hesitated again, miserably caught, not wanting to leave Danny and the safety of the apartment and at the same time badly needing to reassure herself that Jack was still ... safely packed away.

The protagonist of my story is Jack. Jack is lots of things but I will be describing his actions, thoughts and feelings. Jack is a funny, scary, weird, guy. He seems a little ruff to others. I know that because we dislocated his sons shoulder because Jack thought that he lost something very expensive. It doesn't talk about his thoughts. He likes to write but he decided to write disturbing things.

The setting takes place in Denver, Colorado in the winter time. Jack and his family are getting to know more about the hotel. Danny is eating chocolate ice cream on a table with a worker talking about what Danny likes.

The genre of the book I'm reading is mostly horror, mystery, and fictional. How I know that it's the genres that I mentioned is because Jack and his family hear loud noises and see ghosts. They always leave you on a cliff hanger when it's a new part or chapter.

I am on page 23 for the book "The Shining." Jack and his family decided to stay at a hotel that was haunted . Jack and his family have to stay until winter is over since that's Jack's job. The workers have been showing them around since it is so big everything is spread out. The family is starting to hear screaming, stuff falling, etc.
