Blog Entry 12: Initial (Pre-)Writing

I still have not finished reading my book but I'm about half way done. The book is called "In the Forest of the Night" and I'm going to give a brief bio of the author, then give detailed description of whats going on in the book. I will discuss the symbols in the book and focus on the heroes quest. Their is also a poem by William Blake "The Tyger" that plays an important role in the book, and I will analyze the poem and explain how it works with the book. The book is about a 300 year old vampire named Risika who lives in Concord, Massachusetts who is being hunted by a mysterious person. The mysterious person has left her a black rose but it reminds Riskia of the same rose that was left for her when she changed from human to vampire. Seeing this rose brings back memories for Risika like her family and their fate in her new world of madness.
