Significance of..
The two significant elements from the book I am reading, Elixir by Hillary Duff, are the camera, and the event of the fire. The camera is a significant element because the element guides the plot to the main problem. The camera took the photos at the fire, and within those photos there was a discovered shadow of a man in each one. The man's shadow created a curiosity in the plot, for the main character. "I ran my eyes over the backgrounds, the corners, the most seemingly inconsequential parts of each photo, enlarging and enlarging until every time.. I saw him" (Duff 50). The Fire event is a significant element because it gives the reason to take the photos. Without the fire there wouldn't be an event for a camera to be used. Therefore there would not be a plot for the story. She states at the fire, "I had absolutely no idea I was taking pictures that would change my life forever" (Duff 29).

Good blog post Lauren. Just remember to say what book you are reading and give the bibliography. :)
ReplyDeleteGood post. You chose great elements and had good support for both of them. For next time I would start by saying what book you are reading to make the post easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used such specific elements to the book and had solid support to your answers. I understood what you were talking about because I've read this book but anyone who hasn't read it might find it hard to understand. Like Lydia and Nate already mentioned, you could introduce your book at the beginning of the post to help those who haven't read it.
