It is important for readers to understand what is happening in their books, who the characters are and what the theme is. In your response, outline the following: Plot, Setting, Characters, and Universal Theme. Provide evidence to support your thinking from your book.
The book I'm reading is 'Witch & Wizard' by:James Patterson. The plot of my book would be two kids (Whit and Wisty) Get taken into a new thing called 'The New Order.' They have been excused of having amazing powers and get sent to jail (chapter 1). In the jail they find out that they do have strange unusual cool powers (chapter 30). The go through trouble of trying to escape this Hell hole due to the fact that they will be exacted the next day. Then they begen to see Celia (Whit's girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared.) She tells them that they need to escape some how. So she has a plan. She will take them into the shadow land. This is the only possible way out. But they have to risk the fact that they could be trapped there forever (chapter 51). The setting of my book would have to be the shadow land. They have no idea what time it is due to the fact that the Sky's are gray. The shawdowland is full of spirits who haven't fully passed over. The characters in my book at this point of time would be Whit, Wisty, and Celia. The universal theme of my book would have to be 'HOW SOCIETY ACTS OR REACTS.' I think this because in life our society reacts to criminals by placing them in jail, and people if they know they are going to be killed they will react to this. This is exactly what is happening in my book.
