Just Another Final Girl Review (Brittany) Levely-Connolly’s Reviews > 12 Hours > Status Update

karen and her saying" Everything with a purpose,' "Doing things with a purpose always felt better than saying you were rushing- it always made me feel like I was in control of what i was doing instead of just reacting to something."

using that mentality towards his current situation

need to find out who and why
closure about attacker doesn't go with police

c

this when the story really starts to get weird and becomes more paranormal

" i never believed that mumbo jumbo, but my mama did. she said that every choice you make determine the path you travel on for life and that it determined how you will died, but not when. when you'd go was already written."|

“Was it that simple?wrong place wrong time, was it my fate?”
Major changes in thought process: now no longer concerned with himself he moves focus onto his attackers:
Driven by a NEED to know
Motive
Who they were
Did they mean to, mistake him for another, just fluke?

“I’m finished looking at what used to be. It was all bullshit anyway.”

Moves from religious afterlife thoughts into

Existential thoughts
-dread and panic
-examination of death, self and ego
-fearing death
-Anguish

Being physical transported from car into bodybag and police vehicle

“ The devil comes late but he comes right on time…”

Now 12 (lunch time)
He now accepts that he’s ‘dead’ in alley and how he’s mentally dealing with the reality of the situation

Afterlife -heaven hell or here on earth
Where was he going and why was he not there
What will he be forced to see and not be able to do anything about

His mom and her death and how she’d react to him now

Imperfect narrator/Protag but because of thought already shared w readers it’s hard to dislike him as he thinks about the women in his life
He jumps between bad decisions and actions that will hurt his loved ones when they find out to reflections of daughter as baby
Keep emotional connection with reader
Want to like him and feel bad for him and anxious anticipation for his future
More ominous and sad tone
