Blog 11: My Chosen Story

The story I chose is "In the Forest of the Night" by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I picked it because it was a supernatural vampire story that I read when i was like 13. I'm not into the whole twilight scene because of the sparkling people but Amelia makes twilight look like a children's story. Its just a dark book to read in general. The plot is about this girl who became a vampire and 300 years later she still roams the land killing but has flashbacks of her past to better times were their was no pain. But someone is scheming to kill her in a way her brother was killed. Can she find out who in time? I will approach this essay with monomyth because it has a heroes quest to it. I will be talking about the symbols that play major roles in the main character's life. I will also talk about the poem that you read in the opening pages of the story called "The Tyger" by William Blake and the significance it plays to the story.
