Minor Characters

I think the most intriguing minor character in the story was the mayor's wife, Mrs. Livingston. I find her to be the most interesting to me because of her personality at the end of the novel. She seems to act like a child, and Mr. Livingston is embarassed by her actions when Finch stays the night. It is almost as though he is caring for her as he would have cared for Marcus. I wonder if she became this way after baby Marcus' death? In the end of the book we find out she killed baby Marcus. Although, we do not know for sure if it was intentional. I think maybe Reynolds was trying to hint that Mrs. Livingston has post pardom depression. The reason Mrs. Livingston is so interesting to me is that I will never know for sure why she killed her own son. I will also never know why she acted the way she did the night of the storm. I'm guessing thats exactly what Reynolds had planned.

My Dash

I would have to say that my dash in life is my family, boyfriend, and my friends. I spend all of my time with them and they all mean the world to me. I have so many great memories with these special people, and I would do anything for them. My family and I are very close and I enjoy living at home while attending college. Pretty much without my mom I would be the most unorganized disaster ever. I am so glad I have her to keep my head on straight when my life gets hectic.

Taking Stock of My Work

*I think I told my story pretty well. I could have added a bit more detail in certain places, but my paper was already long enough
*I think I did a good job with the rough draft of my paper, which then made the final draft very easy and quick for me.
*I feel my word choice could have been better along with more detail in my work.
*I come up with my ideas when im sitting in front of my computer on the microsoft word screen, I basically let all of my thoughts flow together and I correct my work as I go.
*I did not really even draft my narrative, I basically went right into it like I said. It was a story therefore i wrote it as I thought of how the events occured in my life.
*I did not use photographs or any other graphics
*I feel that almost all the changes I made were from my peer review and corrections I had made myself
*Next time I would definitly use a more extensive vocabulary and describe my narrative with more detail
