2/3

As someone who is constantly watching movies (and will hopefully one day be in movies), I always find myself matching characters in a book, to working actors. Below, I have matched some of the main characters with actors/actresses who I thought could play them well.

  Lindsey Morgan as Annie

 Jason Momoa as Gordon

 Rusell Means as Will

 Nina Dobrev as Violet 

So, now on to the story. 

I specifically wanted to talk about one character in particular, and that is Gordon. Just imagine, never talking your entire life, imagine being around someone who never talks. I wondered through the entire book, why, what event in his life caused him to never say a word. He certainly understands words, he can read and write, so why not speak? It seemed that Annie found comfort in his silence, but personally, I think I would find it, unnatural and uncomfortable, I guess, to each their own. 

Another topic I wanted to discuss was Will, through the telling of his stories, we get to go back to where his problems began, the day his family was killed in a fire, one he could have prevented, one he could have stopped. Will even says "Me, I tried to end it"(Boyden,275), it really puts into perspective why Will is the way he is, he was fully ready to die at one point, and he mentioned on various occastions that part of him died that day. I know I talk about Will a lot, but he is definetly my favorite character in this novel, he's just so honest and complex, in a simple way, its difficult to explain really. Something I found compelling that Will said was his wondering wether an area he was wondering around was a church or an old factory, he said "One claiming to take what the cree didn't need, the other claiming to give us what we were missing, neer clear for me which was which", this compairison really stuck with me. 

Thanks for reading!

Until next time !
