Character Growth
In the story haunted theres not much character growth its more of the characters showing there true colors.The characters are now showing who they really are the liars,decievers,and psychos.The characters are getting very desperate to get out of the "writters hideout",they are killing off there own food supply,heat supply and even plotting to kill one another.A lot of these people have a lot of dirty secrets that should incarcerate majority of them.How long can these people live together especially under these circumstances like having no contact with the outside world.How long can they maintain there sanity long enough to survive there own boredom.
Rage,Stepen King, BY AARON OSBORNE
BachMen Book,By Stephen King
As I began,reading this book I thought it was going to another corny horror tale.But as I continue to read Realized that it was not true.The story tells of a disturbed highschool student whos early childhood treatment has had him bitter towards others later in his life.He was gone outside of the box and has stop thinking rationaly. The main Character Charles Decker is an interesting kid. His life has took twists and turns that have made him very unhappy,his sitituation is similar to many kids I know today. He simply stop caring,and when he stoped caring he became mentaly unstable. When kids stop caring,bad things can occur. I understand where he comes from to a certain point. He is fed up with life and the unimportant role he plays in it. I feel sad for Mr. Decker because he had know one to turn to,to help him when he needed someone the most. In my understanding this is what triggered Mr.Decker to snap and to become unstable.

Do the charcters grow Throught the story. If so how?
No I dont think the charcters grow that much. The reason i say this is because the main charcter is a federal agent and he is basically just doing his job which is to protect the country. So I dont think he experienced anything that he hasn't before. Through out the story wen something would happen he stayed calm and collective he never was jumbled orthrown off his game.

Mans Best Friend
Watchers By Dean Koontz PG50-89
As the main character goes into the woods to commit suicide, he finds a mysterious and extremely intelligent dog who it seems he has an almost telepathic connection with, as there is something in each of them the other needs and this dog seems to talk him out of his previous plans. One part in the book when Travis went into the kitchen and the dog followed him. He pointed at the fridge and told the dog to show him how he got him a beer. Then after Travis yelled at the dog telling him how he owes him for saving his life in the woods the dog goes to the fridge and opens it and got another Coors out. If this dog can do stuff like that I wonder what else it can do. What would you do if you had a dog like this?

do the charcters seem real and beliviable?can you relate to there predicaments?
Yes the charcters in the book Black Friday by James Patterson seem very realistic and belivable. They go through normal life like situations and handel them like any responsible adult. The main charcter a courageous federal agent has to try and stop a secret malita group from taking over New York city. No I can not relate to the predicament because it is Not even remotely close to any experience that i have endured in my life. But the way James Patterson has composed the main charcters makes it very believable, Like they are normal everday people. Can you relate to a similar event in your lifetime?

Post #3 From The Corner Of His Eye--- By Dean Koontz Pgs 20-40
Many things are happening in this story from this point. Junior's wife Naomi has died a terrible death. He was playing around with her in a tower and I believe that the flight of stairs they where on was weak enough to fall down. So Naomi fell a long way down. When Junior looked down to see how she ended up, it was hard for him as his wife's leg was bent backwards to an impossible angle and her hand next to her if she was waving. Stuff is starting to get little violent and creepy. He went to check on her but didn't dare to because he was a little squimish. As he walked away he looked back and saw crows at the area where she was at. What do you think the crows wanted to do?
Post#2 From The Corner Of His Eye-Dean Koontz Pgs 1-20
This book is pretty interesting, many weird things happen. For example, sometimes the author writes about a characters' normal life and then out of nowhere writes about creatures that spawn in the dark and things like that.For example the creature looked like some kind of giant black bird that covered most of the sky. But I like it so far, it has everything I expect from a Horror novel. Some violence, sudden accidents, a lot of mysteries that are interesting to read more in order to find out. It does have a little romance too. For example Junior is married to Naomi and the author talks about there relationship and how much they love each other. I believe the author is trying to relieve the readers mind from the scary and violent happenings. Does this say anything about what horror movies or stories are about?
Something Like Someone
Watchers, By Dean Koontz Pages:25-50
After getting a little father in the book I am still realy interested in the book and looking forward to read the rest of it. From reading more of the book I got to know the charaters a little bit more. The one charater in the book can relate to someone I know. The charater who can relate to the person I know is Nora Devon. This girl is scared of everyone even before she gets to know them. One part in the book Nora was instantly afraid of the television repairman even thoiught he didn't look mean at all and was a nice guy. Nora is nervous around new people but realy not that shy, she is one of them people that wants to put their two cents in on everything even if it has nothing to do with or about her. Nora always tries to find something wrong with everyone. I think she tries to idenifty people to much and she should just get to know them first before she starts to judge them. Nora reminds me about this girl I know alot because they both are nervous to met new people and they both always has something to say about everything. Wonder how much more they are alike as I read more?

In this book New York city was taken over by a militia group and only the federa; agent and lawer can stop this amazing tradgey from happening

The Begining
Watchers By Dean Koontz pages 1-16
The book I picked to read is Watchers by Dean Koontz. I only read the 1st chapter so far but it seems like a good book. I always heard that Dean Koontz was a good horror author but never read any of his book so this is the 1st book I am reading that he wrote. Just by reading the 1st chapter it shows that the book is going to be a suspenseful page turner. The book seems like its going to be entertaining, scary, and even a little funny. I hope that the book has a lot of twist in it because I like when horror movies have them. By having a lot of twist to a horror book or movie it makes the reader or watcher think and then they get more into the movie or book and it becomes more interesting. I look forward to reading more of this book. I hope the rest of the book is as good as chapter 1.
