F
is for Friction
The
friction of Sarah Bishop is the difficulties
of Sarah had while fleeing. She had to lose
all her direct family members and be arrested
for a crime she did not commit. She faced fleeing,
fires, making friends, collecting food, working,
and just surviving after all that she had been
through. Sarah did and amazing job with handling
the friction of the story. The friction of this
story is very complicating, going through many
steps and many different parts to create a bold,
complex, and adventurous story, the survival
story of Sarah Bishop.
I
is for Ideal
There
can be many themes, or ideals, for this story.
One of these themes is something rich, powerful,
and beautiful. It is complex, deep, and truly
a perfect theme for such a survival story. The
first ideal is: No matter what happens, no matter
who dies, which houses burn down, whether you
are arrested or not and if you have to flee
or not, no matter what bumps and obstacles in
the path of life you face, there is always Courage
deep down inside your heart that is always ready
when your life needs it. A second ideal can
be: Look to Nature for Peace. This could be
a theme for Sarah Bishop because Sarah had to
flee to Nature in search of peace from the Revolutionary
War.
C
is for Characters
The
characters in Sarah Bishop are not really nice,
but they seem to have strong and sort of strange
personalities that make you wonder about them.
Sarah was really jumpy about her personality,
meaning that she could never really settle on
one. She was mainly always cold or wondering
about something. Captain Cunningham was strange.
He was sort of nice and EXTREMELY mean at the
same time. Sam Goshen was some man. He was always
trying to be nice, and then he was all mean.
I can do this sometimes, but his actions and
words surprised me greatly. Father's personality
was probably far by the strangest to me. He
was firm, soothing, scared, angry, or he was
lying. I think these are strange emotions to
fit in one person.
T
is for Title
From the title of this book
you can tell that it is a book about a girl
named Sarah Bishop. Some other titles for this
book could be: Looking To Nature, Looking to
Peace, Courage Down Deep, and Fighting the War.
These all can be very good titles. Looking to
Nature, Looking to Peace is a good title because
Sarah had to look to nature to find peace. Courage
Down Deep is an appropriate title because Sarah
found Courage down deep in her heart throughout
the story. Fighting the War is a good title
because Sarah had to fight the war.
I
is for Imitate
To
imitate this book, you would have to first research
the time setting, think about the first person
writing form, and think of the descriptive words
used in the story. O'Dell didn't really express
the scenes well, so you would have to not describe
the scenes well. Then, you could think about
the adventures and the organization of the story.
O
is for Organization
The
story of Sarah Bishop is sequential, and has
no flashbacks or flash-forwards. Also, it is
written in first person though there is a lot
of deep setting thoughts that could have been
expressed a little better in third person writing
format.
N
is for New or Novel
Mainly
the only things that are interesting to me about
this book is number one: it is written in first
person though Father, Chad, and many more character
opinions could have been expressed, shown, and
described through third person better. Number
two: Scott 0'Dell ALWAYS writes survival stories
in first person. Island of the Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell is also a survival story written
in first person as well.
