Entry Two

The main character, Shorty wants water instantly.  He also wants to be free from all of the rubble.  But when Shorty flashes back to his childhood, I am sure that he wants to change the timeline of his life such as the kidnapping of his twin sister or when his dad was killed right in front of him.  Toussaint wants the slaves in Haiti to be free from their owners.  He proposed a revolution that is about to take place in my book.  I can relate Toussaint right here because Toussaint wants to do this revolution in a non-violent way like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.  A theme that is starting to appear in my book is that you must work toward your goals.  Another theme is that a non-violent protest or a revolution is usually better by what is accomplished than the violent means of a revolution.  My book, In Darkness, is structured like a normal book, with chapters, but when there is dialogue, the author uses a dash instead of quotation marks.  Also, the author will flip back and forth between Shorty’s actual life and Toussaint’s revolution which can be easily identified as it does it every other chapter.
