A Book By: Emily Dickinson

There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry. This traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of toll; How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Blog Entry #2 - Identify and Sort


White, Kiersten. Paranormalcy. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2010. Print.

1. Characters: 

     A few characters that are in my novel, are Evie (Protagonist), Vivian (Antagonist) and Lend.

2. Crisis:

   The Crisis, in the point I am right now, is that Evie is having troubles deciding whether she is a paranormal or not. She is not classified as one, and doesn't know who to believe any more. Vivian has the same eye colour, one that is not a normal color for a human, or any paranomal to have. Vivian has the same burning flame inside her soul, around her heart. But, Vivian has been killing a lot of paranormals, and Evie fears that she will end up the way Vivian has.

3. Suspense:

     The time that I felt suspence, was when Reth, a faery, showed up and asked Evie to change his name in order for her to set Rend, her crush, free. Reth, without his real name, cannot be commanded to do things against his will, and Reth has a strange obsession with Evie. In releasing Reth, Evie would be in danger, seeing as she could no longer command him to do as she says. Therefore, he could do whatever he wanted to her, whenever he wanted to.

4. Setting:

     Right now, the setting is at Rend's house, where Evie is trying to live the normal life of a teenager, away from all the melodrama that has been happening at IPCA. His house isn't much out of the ordinary, accept that his house is near a lake, where his mother lives, and a forest, where Evie and Lend shared their second kiss. ( Oo la la ).

5. Mood:

    The mood right now, between Evie and Lend's family, is complicated. Right now, Evie is trying to battle her own insecurities, but has yet to tell David (Lend's father) and Lend, what is actually happening. This, is making the atmosphere at Lend's house, more of a tense, and stressful environmnent for Evie.

"Eyes like streams of melting snow." ( White, Kiersten)

     In the novel, a banshee ( mystical being ), has said the following quote. When Lend first met Evie, Evie has described her eyes in being like "streams of melting snow." What was strange, is that Evie had never heard the phrase prior to Lend telling her about the prophecy. This is significant, because, in hearing the entire riddle, Evie begins to wonder if she is going to end up evil, and "Kill, Kill, Kill."
