Journal 2

1. What point of view is your story told in? the story was written in both first person and third person as part of the book is Theo’s diary and the rest is real time.

2. Is the point of view effective? I think that the point of view of the story is effective as it shows us a glimpse of the main characters views as well as a traditional story line. The first person shows Theo’s thoughts on society while the third person view gives us the author’s opinion on the novel.

3. What is one of the most important/memorable events that have happened so far? Think about that moment and re-tell it from another point of view. For example, if you were reading We All Fall Down as your Literature Circles novel you may re-write from Will’s fathers Point of View(min. 300 words) so far in the novel I think that the most important part would be the first couple pages of the book where they are describing the death of the last human being to be born on the planet. If I were rewriting this part I would write it on behalf of Theo as he would be able to tell us about his thoughts on the subject of the world no longer cares. Theo would have commented on the fact that not a single person in the world would have cared about the death of the person and that is echoed throughout the book as we see the breaking down of human society.
