Question/Section #2 Why and how are these strategies creative? Do these strategies correspond to the development stages mentioned in the manual? Each of the preceding examples shows the creativity of the book. Especially by allowing the reading public to use their imagination. This concerns the overall stages of plot development of the book. As the story progresses, Brian (the main character) looks less and less like himself; become a “simpler” person. Before the accident, while he was living a civilized life, he had many small things to sort out in his daily life. Although Brian's past isn't explained very well, we all know from experience that we all have an awful lot of small responsibilities, as well as big ones. But as the story progresses, Brian's concern becomes simpler and simpler; where is his next meal coming from? How can he make his shelter strong? What does he do to protect himself? A specific example of a lost concern is the "secret" he knows about his mother. At the beginning of the book, Brian focuses mainly on the fact that he is fairly certain of his mother's infidelity. As the book continues, this worry more or less fades to the back of his mind, in place of the more everyday worries of survival. This almost parallels the unusual circumstances we must imagine throughout the book. . In the introduction, Brian is still a "townie" and is not what he is at the end of the book. As the story continues, the unusual environments introduced allow us readers to use more imagination. Most of us can imagine the inside of an airplane from experience (as described at the beginning), but few of us can say that we have been alone in pure, untamed wilderness. The f...... middle of paper ......looking for a fool to feed on, he is delighted with himself. He also has moral dilemmas. He doesn't know whether or not he should reveal his mother's infidelity to his father if he comes home. Additionally, since Brian is the only true main character throughout the book, the characterization centers on him, allowing for more detail and creativity. If the book had more than one main character, details might be left out somewhat about Brian, making him a less fleshed out character. By only having one, most of the book is spent describing Brian and his story, which allows for a much tighter focus. Brian is a well-characterized fictional person who, most importantly, is accessible (outside of his storyline). As a person he is typical, but the creativity of the book allows us to see his inner thoughts and actions, which constitute a more detailed protagonist..
