How Samuel ChangedAt first, Samuel was a boy who liked nature. Then, when the attack happened, he was boiling hot with rage at first, but then he became sort of grim and serious because he doesn’t talk a whole lot in the novel. At the end, when the group rescues Samuel’s parents, he is still grim and serious for a while, then he started liking nature again.12Slide13
Review of Novel13Overall Rating: This book marks 4.1 out of 5 because well, most of the book is good, but the grimness changes what the book feels like. The grimness still does something to the reader, like making vivid images in his mind.
