Blog for 10/14/15

Prompt: Do any of the characters feeling change as you’ve read? Explain why or why
not.

Book: Eye of Minds

Author: James Dashner 

Page #: 1 - 310 (Finished)


       Michael and his friends spend most of their time in the VirtNet, a gaming network.  When a mysterious girl kills herself, she dies in real life too.   This isn't supposed to happen so the VHS, who protect the VirtNet, assign Michael and his two other friends, Sarah and Bryson, on a mission to find this mysterious person who is causing these suicides.

 ~~~~

          Throughout the entire book, almost all of the main characters feelings start to change.  Michael's feelings change the most during the story.  He seems confident at first, when he first receives the mission he believes he and his friends can solve it.  Towards the middle he starts getting hesitant and worried about the fact that he might not succeed the mission assigned to him and his friends.  Towards the end he starts getting nervous, and wants to back out of the mission.  He starts to realize that he might not succeed and starts worrying about the future.  At the end of the book Michael is the exact opposite of what he felt in the beginning of the story.

          Sarah and Bryson's thoughts aren't portrayed as much as Michael's.  Bryson and Sarah are both hesitant at first, and a little more into the book are pretty confident.  Towards the middle of the book they start to feel almost frustrated and nervous, following Michael's emotions.  Towards the end they start feeling as if the whole mission was a bad idea, and contemplate if they should continue it or not.  Both try to be optimistic, but there is a string of worry that they feel.  At the end of the book it doesn't involve Sarah, nor Bryson's feelings but mainly focuses on Michael's feelings.

          Overall Michael's feelings are shown more throughout the entire story, and Bryson's and Sarah's are kind of put off.  All of their feelings almost match.  They're feelings change because as the book progresses more things start to get difficult for them and their feelings they first had start with developed more.  Almost everything that happens effects all of them which causes almost the same effect or feelings as one another, which leaves us Cause and Effect.  They're all effected the same way, and can express or show their feelings the same way.  All of the characters feelings start to change as the book progresses.

  1. You're book seems interesting. Though it reminds me of a certain second season... I really like reading books with a video game setting. This sort of reminds me of the Maze Runner. I loved that series and I feel I might like that book too. Something I find interesting is that his character development is reverse, being strong and confident in the beginning and then being a bit more careful. Usually I see characters being hesitant in the beginning then being more confident. I might check it out later. Good job on the blog! Though you could've phrased things better...
