In this blog post I am examining the best line in my opinion from chapter 9 of my book. I think this blog best shows my ability to write to the standard required to be able to analyze well what I am trying to explain in the blog post. This is shown in the way the post is written because I think I have gave a good idea of what the quote means without just making it a boring summary this is shown in the language that I have used in the post, I was trying to make it more like I was talking to the reader rather than just making an overview by using personal pronouns and giving my opinions on the quote and what I think is going to happen next in the story. I also gave a good idea of what has been happening in the chapter up to this point, such as what Theo’s friend Julio is trying to tell Theo about (the witness to the murder) which could have a huge impact on the case but the problem with taking the witness to see the court or talk to a lawyer is that he is an illegal immigrant working to get money for his family back in his home country.

Through this experience one thing I struggled with at the beginning in my first few posts was how to word the posts I was finding it difficult to find words that would make my posts more interesting to read and trying not to make them boring. One way I overcame this problem was by trying to write what  I thought would be less boring and just writing it rather than trying to make things difficult and thinking all the time is that good enough while still trying to make sure they made sense but making them be more personal I the way they were written.one strength I had was length I think I managed to make all of my posts a good length. And for next trimester I would like to be able to carry on writing more personal pieces of writing and trying to read more than I do. I would like to improve on wording of my writing.

Best line from chapter 15

I think this is a very important line from this chapter because it is a very tense thing that is about to happen and it is what has been waiting to be decided in the last few chapters I had read. Theos uncle Ike has just came to pick theo up early from school theo doesn't really know why but he goes along with it and once they get in the car to go wherever they are going and theo asks where they are going
And Ike answers "you've come to me for help. My advice Is that we go to the offices of Boone and Boone (theos parents law firm), to get your parents in a room and tell them everything."

So they are going to tell theos parents all about the witness to the murder of mrs Duffy which could be an important lead in the case.
This was a very intense point in the story because I didn't know what theos parents might say or do because they are lawyers so their first instinct would be to tell the other lawyers involved in the case and that could mean the witness could be taken to jail or deported and that could be terrible for him and his family.

Most important line from the chapter and why

The most important line from this chapter chapter 9 is when Julio is about to tell they something that could change the whole case this in my opinion was the most engaging part of the book so far.
So Julio knows someone who might be a witness to the prosticutioners side of the case and there have been no witnesses to the crime so far from that side of the case yet so this was a very important part of the book
"Well my cousin was sitting under some trees eating lunch kind of hiding because his lunch break is the only time he gets to be alone and he saw a man in a golf cart going really fast down the path along the fairway the man had a set of golf clubs on the bak of his golf cart but he was not hitting balls he was in a hurry suddenly he veered to his left and parked the cart near the patio of the house where the lady was murdered and went inside and then not long after the man came back out and went speeding off back to play golf."
Then it goes on to tell you that the cousin saw mr Duffey the suspect of the case on the news and said that was the man he saw. So the only thing stopping them going to the police with the witness is that the witness is an illegal immigrant and he has a family to support and he can't afford to be deported.

The best thing about my book

I think the best thing about my book is that just when you think you know what is going to happen next the story will get flipped or something else that you wouldn't expect to happen will happen so you can never know what to expect and it can have really intense parts that make me want to keep reading it to find out what is going to happen but you could keep reading and you might not get to a part when something is resolved until about 2 or 3 chapters later
