Literature Analysis #3

1.) A- My book is about a 13 year-old girl who is named Bethany Hamilton. Bethany is a champion surfer who has loved the water since she was a young girl. After an amazing night out surfing and what she thought would be a fun day in the water the next day, she is attacked by a shark and loses her arm. She is rushed to the ER and staying calm, remains her faith in god. They tell her they will be no way for her arm to be kept on and that the shark took it all. She now has to learn how  to surf with one hand and one arm. It will take her friends, family, and her Christian faith to get her back into the water, but if that is where she is meant to be, she will find a way to get through recovery and get back in the water. B- All in all this is about a young girl who never loses her dream, keeps reaching for the stars and never gives up. 

2.) I feel that the author chose to write about this story and topic because this could be very influential to many other young girls not only young girls but anyone in this world.

3.)I chose to write about this book because I really do enjoy this book a lot and I think it teaches you something every young human should know, which is to never give up on yourself and always keep reaching for the stars.

4.) Yes, I know this book was realistic because this did happen in real life and if you think about it this could happen to anyone in almost any circumstance not only just in the ocean with a shark and a young 13 year-old girl. 

PEOPLE

1.) She chose to write about this book because like I said, this could influence others a lot and really could  change someones life.

2.) Cheri Hamilton- This is the mom of Bethany and I really feel that she is an important character because this is the lady that kept Beth going. I felt like she was always pushing Bethany to her outer limits and she knew what she was capable of.

Tom Hamilton- This is the dad of Bethany and he does play a huge part in this book because a lot like me, Bethany and her dad are very close and Beth looks up to her dad very much so when her dad stayed by her side and helped her with everything that he possibly could, it really meant a lot to her a helped keep her going. 

3.) These two people just have a very interested and sweet personality which makes them much easier to talk and to write about.

STYLE

1.) No, I do not see that anywhere in this book that the author uses any type of foreshadowing or shows or demonstrates any type of fiction writing.

2.) The author focuses more on action because she knows that that is the most important part in this book. No one would have really felt the emotion if it wasn’t showed.

3.) I think the author had a  very loving and sweet attitude towards these characters and most of all Bethany because of all that had happened to her and I feel that she really gives her a lot of credit throughout the story because she is so competitive and does not take no for an answer. 

4.) She shows more of actions and explains why Bethany and the other characters are doing what they are doing and what it really takes to become successful again for Bethany. 

5.) The other did not refer anything as in interview or historical document which makes this very hard to tell from this.
