Every Soul a StarWendy MassOctober 2008Realistic Fiction Chelsea P. 7th
Setting • The Moon’s Shadow is a two-square mile campground with a hot spring, a labyrinth, a stream, cabins, and trees. The main characters all meet up there and that is where the eclipse takes place. They might not have been able to see the eclipse, so the characters might not have gone there.
Conflict • Bree is moving to The Moon’s Shadow, but she doesn’t want to. If Bree moves to The Moon’s Shadow, then that means that Ally has to move away, but she doesn’t want to move either. So they do every thing they can to change their parents minds. • This is Man v. Man because Bree and Ally are trying to fight against their parents decisions.
Summary of Plot • The eclipse is coming and a lot of people are coming to see it. Some weeks before the eclipse Bree finds out that she is moving to The Moon’s Shadow. Jack got a get out of summer school card, but its not free. He has to go on a two week eclipse tour and it ends with seeing the eclipse. When Bree arrives Ally, the girl who lives there at the moment, finds out that she is moving away from The Moon’s Shadow. When Jack gets there it is only a couple days before the eclipse and he wants to make friends. Do Bree and Ally changes their parents minds about moving? Does Jack ever make friends?
Theme • Life changes for the better • Text Evidence 1: “The huge telescope in Hawaii used our data and confirmed the planet!” pg. 265 (Ally) • Text Evidence 2: “As I suspected, Ryan is proving a welcome distraction.” pg.177 (Bree) • Text Evidence 3: “I don’t know what possesses me, maybe the fact that guys who look like him don’t usually ask me to do anything with them.” pg.150 (Jack)
Point of View • This story is First person but is told from multiple perspectives. • This helps the reader understand what the character is feeling.
Symbolism • Glenn, Eta, and Peggy are stars that Ally talks to every night. I think that the stars symbolizes a friend that you can always talk to. Or someone who is always there for you.
Recommendation • I think that this was a good book. If you are going through hard times, you should read this book. It shows that all things happen for a reason, no matter what it is. People go through struggles too.
