Inciting incident- I think the inciting Incident is when Akira sees a fire when Her and her dad are driving through the forest and Akira yells out " woah look dad, a fire!" I think this is the inciting incident because that is when the main story starts and that is the first time they see the fire that they get into in the middle and end of the story. When she says that, it launches the Main action in the story.

Archetypes- The Archetype that my story has is Overcoming the monster, a girl and dad are trying to get rid of the fire while driving on a road right next to a forest. On page 11 it says " FIRE! Sue screamed,making them all jump. There is a fire on the other side of the mountain! Akira grabbed her fathers arm,Akira's dad was going the opposite way of our house. We will be alright,but we have to get people to safety."

Visualize- In my book I had a smell while I was reading because the girl Natalie was smelling a fire and in my head, I can just smell the fire because when there is a fire or campfire near me I can just smell the flames and the wood burning in it. Also, the feelings of Akira, When she was almost in the fire, she was scared. In my head I would put myself in the situation and I would be scared too.

Making connections- The text that says ''leave me, No I wont leave you here by yourself, I'm gonna help you get out of this." For me, it is text to self because I am brave and I will not leave anybody behind. Natalie is really brave for being young and still trying to get out of the fire with her dad. When her dad told her to leave and she said "no" I was thinking because that is something I would do the same.

characterization- Akira is the main character and trying to get out of the fire with her dad. She is always feeling calm and always tries to help people, she says things like"I will not leave you here in the fire." This shows that she is a really brave person and she does whatever it takes to get what's done. When she realizes the fire is going towards her she tells everyone to stay calm and to not panic in the car.

Antagonist: The antagonist is nature because the fire is destroying the forest that is close to them. The protagonist and her dad are trying to get away from the fire and not letting it catch up to them. The protagonist is making sure everybody is okay and comforting them. When the protagonist's dad is telling her to leave the protagonist wont let the antagonist hurt them and stop them and say no to leaving them.
