My Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

To determine my avatar’s appearance I used my own imagination alongside the information I was given from the book. For example, my book mentioned how the protagonist had long brown hair. So while creating my avatar I chose for her hair to match the description of the story. Although, other accepts of her appearance clothing, eye shape and background of my avatar was how I imagined it being while reading the book.

Throughout my reading, I used sticky notes to mark out pages that seemed important to the plot. Later on with full knowledge of the plot I categorized the sticky notes into initiating incident, rising action, climax etc. This process helped in choosing my plot points as It made it easier to find a passage to support my reasoning.

To figure out the setting of my story I read in between the lines of shatter me. The protagonist talks about the corruption of the government in her dying so society. So, I inferred this story was set in an ‘corrupt futuristic dystopian world’. The setting helps tell the message of the story. If the story were set in a utopian world, the message wouldn’t be the same as the protagonist were based on her environment.

The definition of mood in my own words is…an expression of a feeling or emotion through an experience. I felt the mood of this book was uplifting as the protagonist has to rise up from oppression. The song I picked to go with my powerpoint is a representation of this mood I felt while reading the story.
