Book Report on Wreck! :: essays research papers

First Entry Suggestion Number 1 Page 50This fiction book is called Wreck and was written by Allan Bailie. The main characters are Ian Foster and Reene Thompson, they are two normal teenagers. Reene was told to baby-sit Ian while his parents are away. During this period a cyclone hits Albatross Beach and they barely survive it. shortly they seek shelter in a rusty old freighter on the beach. After, the cyclone erupts again and sets the boat out to sea. While on the boat they get word many strange happenings and realise they are not alone.Second Entry Suggestion Number 6 Page 80I believe the author was trying to keep suspense and did this by not giving any extra info and by putting in a few dark alarms to keep you on your toes. The writer is in any case very descriptive which adds greats atmosphere and further suspense. I think the writer has a good imagination to be able to write in such a way. Another skill the author has is, he knows when and when not to be descriptive, t hat helps because a whole page exposition on something that has no relevance at all is not necessary Third Entry Suggestion Number 5 Page 100Ian is faint and doesnt seem very confident in the book Ian explains its probably because of his dad whos always putting him down because he sesst do something right. in that respect isnt mush about his interest in the book because the author keeps to the story line most of the time. Ian is afraid that he isnt to his fathers expectations and that his father hates him. His experiences throughout the book make him a stronger person and I think hes better for it. Reene also helps shape Ian into a better person. She is responsible, outspoken and strong-willed, Ian picks ups picks up a bit of it. Ian comes out to have a stronger mind, isnt as reliant on others and isnt afraid to voice his opinions. Fourth Entry Suggestion Number 8 Page 120To me the ending wasnt much of a surprise because they were on a boat with an unknown monster, they defe at the monster and are rescued which wasnt much of an ending. This of course doesnt mean the book is boring, just predictable. There are also many little things that happen along the way to keep this book interesting enough to keep reading.
