Prompt-List conflicts.This week I have been reading "Zebra Forests" and it gets much better the further you get in the book. The children and their grandmother are still hostage to their criminal father, but Ryan wrote a letter to notify the chief of police about their location and when to come where Andrew would least expect it, and his sister sent it when she was on a trip to the grocery store. They think they will be saved in about two days when mail is deleted.
The major conflicts that pertain to the children and their grandmother is that first, they are being held hostage by a murderer and they have no way of escape. Also, they are conflicted to whether or not they should turn in their father, regardless of him being a killer and holding them with no outside contact possible. Their grandmother is psychologically damaged from the death of her husband (which I have a strong feeling had something to do with her son), that affects her to the point that she stays in her room for days on end.
The largest conflicts for Andrew Snow is concerned about would be the fact that police are looking for him to no end, and have actually come to his door, where his mom saved him with her extreme lying skills. He also has to worry about the siblings trying to escape, while taking care of his mother. He walked in on Ryan trying to pick the front door lock with a knife, and he bent his wrist to disarm him. I really feel like he is in a pretty bad spot for what he has done in the past.
This book should seriously be considered to turn into a movie. For some reason, I could already imagine the the children and grandmother being held hostage by their murderous father. Do you have any predictions for what could happen to the children or what the father could do? I was definitely drawn in and considering to read this book in the future. Great job!
