Divergent, by Veronica RothI chose to read this book, because it seemed interesting to me. I came to read it by finding it on my bookshelf.
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is, but she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone. Tris and her fears. In order to do anything, she has to face her fears. (Beatrice renames herself Tris)
The main conflict is also Beatrice/Tris's inner conflict with herself. I believe this story compels a development/vivid description technique. This book is really focusable and really draws you in.
The book im reading is Pretty Little Liars by Sara Sheapard. I chose to read this book because there is also a tv show of this book and i wanted to know whats different between the two. Sara Sheapard's plot for this book is really good because the suspense that is with in it its self constantly leaves you on a cliff hanger.
i choose to read this book because i wanted to read the whole series, they plot it to make the people want to see more every time they read the book.
The book I am reading is "The Legend of Alexandros:Titans of Chaos" and it's by A.C.Hernandez. The author of this series is my cousin, and he told me and my family about the book, so I chose to read it and its a great book series. The development in text is when it starts out a little creepy then the details get gory and very discriptive. When something intense occurs, dialouge by characters increase with intenseness. I do not really notice any "techniques" about how events build up.
Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows part 1 by J.K Rowling.I am reading this book because i grew up with harry potter and I love the series and the movies and i never finished all the books. She sets good situations because theres been a lot of parts in the book and all of her books where the situations have been intense and well written. Its well described and she knows how to catch the readers attention by doing certain things in the story.
Somethings wrong with the grey twins by: Gothicangels1205 Im reading this book because it was specified what in was looking for in A genre search witch was twins. Im almost finished reading the book and the author is the best, even though she's not a famous writer she writes very sufficient. Her writing gives the perfect settings, plot and the characters are amazing, they seem so real and live life like a normal person would it doesn't feel like she tries extra hard, she just flows with her writing
The chronicles of nairina I'm reading this because because I grew up watching this movie and it's full of acttion all of this author books are great and are full of everything. This author knows how to describe the book and it we'll written and I truly love this book.
Im reading The big Sleep by Raymond Chandler and I came to reading it when i found an old barnes and noble gift card and thought it would be a good noir book. The author sets up situations that exaggerate and dramatize real life situations such as notorious crimes. This is significant because it makes the reader feel like he/she is in the book and watching this situation happen and maybe a bit scared or emotional in some form. Usually the technique of dialogue is a combination of reflection and vivid description.
1. What's the title and author of your book.The title of my book is It. By steven king.
2. Why did you choose to read this book, or how did you come to read it? I chose to read this because, it's my favorite genre, and it's my mother's favorite book author, and a very popular one.

3. Comment on the ways the author sets out a well-developed conflict or situation?
Well it starts off with a conflict.
4. What is the significance in the exposition (development) of the text of this conflict or situation? It has to develop slowly probably, or else the story wont really make sense. It also has to develop the way that it does to make it scary and interesting.

Reflection? No.
Chronological sequence? Yes.
Vivid description? Yes. A combination of these techniques? Yes
