    For Sophie and Josh Newman, two fifteen-year-olds, it had been a regular Thursday May 31st until Sophie saw four strange men. They walked into Nick Fleming’s bookstore across the street, where Josh worked. At the same time, Josh was in the bookstores cellar. He suddenly noticed that something smelled like rotten eggs and mint. He went upstairs but noticed the smell just got stronger. He saw Nick and another man moving their fingers with tendrils of yellow and green smoke coming from them. Perry, Nick’s wife, walked into The Coffee Cup where Sophie worked. She asked why she was inhaling tealeaves. Sophie responded that she wanted to know where the smell of rotten eggs was coming from. Perry sighed, “Not today,” told Sophie to stay, and ran to the bookstore. Sophie took a broom and followed her. There she saw another man attacking Nick and Josh, and she started hitting the man with the broom. The man used what Sophie thought was magic to throw her and Perry away. The man took a book that Nick had given to Josh, but Josh held on to the last two pages. The two pages ripped off from the rest of the book, but the man didn’t notice and ran back to his car.

    Because It Is Running by

    • 1118 Words

    The story has a 3rd person narrator who has a limited omniscient point of view with focus on the main character Wil. The narrator knows the whole story of Wil and the other characters and what there has taken place earlier on. We do not get inside of their heads in connection with deep feelings and thoughts. Instead the narrator makes comments and uses many flashbacks to build up the story. This gives the reader an opportunity to think about the direct and indirect information which is given instead of just letting it past though. The novel consists of many dialogs which float in with the text because they are not put in quotation marks. That almost makes the whole novel one big conversation with the narrator as the mouthpiece. In spite of the many flashbacks is the story chronological and starts in medias res on the arrival of Edie and ends with her leaving when the summer is over. The scene is set in the country in England. Edie has arrived to help Wil and his mother for the summer at their farmstead where they drive a bed and breakfast. After the family has lost the father to throat cancer has it only gone downhill at the farm and it has turned more into a bed and breakfast. The mother says: “The B&B’s the only thing making money” (p. 1, l. 8). Wil has taken over the agriculture after his father and has a dream of having success with it. Therefore he thinks that it is stupid to hire Edie as a maid at the B&B with the little money they have. He frowns at the girl from the…
