Question/Section # 2 Why and how are these strategies creative? Do these strategies correspond to the development stages mentioned in the textbook? Each of the above examples shows the creativity of the book. Mainly by allowing the reading audience to use their imagination. This refers to the general stages of development of the book's plot. As the story progresses, Brian (the main character) becomes less and less like himself; become a “simpler” person. Before the accident, while living in civilian life, he had many little things to worry about in his daily life. Although Brian's past isn't explained very well, we all know from experience that we have a huge amount of smaller responsibilities, in addition to the big ones. But as the story progresses, Brian's concern becomes simpler and simpler; Where will his next meal come from? How can he make his shelter strong? What does he do to protect himself? A specific example of lost concern is the “Secret” he knows about his mother. At the beginning of the book, Brian's main focus is on being fairly certain of his mother's infidelity. As the book continues, that worry more or less disappears into the back of his mind, replacing the more everyday worries of survival. This almost parallels the unusual circumstances we have to imagine throughout the book. . In the introduction, Brian is still a “city person” and not who he is at the end of the book. As the story continues, the unusual environments introduced allow us readers to use more imagination. Most of us can imagine the inside of an airplane from experience (as described at the beginning), but not many of us can say we have been alone in the pure, untamed wilderness. In the fucking middle of paper, looking for a fool for food, he is happy with himself. It also has moral dilemmas. He is unsure whether or not to reveal his mother's infidelity to his father once he returns home. Additionally, since Brian is the only real main character throughout the book, the characterization is centered around him, allowing for more detail and creativity. If the book had more than one main character, details about Brian might be left out somewhat, which would make him a less well-defined character. By only having one, the majority of the book is spent describing Brian and his story, allowing for much finer focus. Brian is a well-characterized fictional person who, more importantly, is easy to identify with (aside from his scenario). As a person he is typical, but the creativity of the book allows you to see his inner thoughts and actions, which make up a more detailed protagonist.
