Imagine that Your Character is Part of a High-School Clique.....

No I believe that Sig would not be very popular in high school because he is all alone and doesn't seem to like a lot of people. He would be in middle of the nerdy and kinda sporty, because he is really active but he is also very smart for his age. Although he could be both very successful in both track and academics. I would believe that Sig would do all of his work and turn it in on time, but I could see him almost be late to school and forget about his homework.

If Sig were to interact with other people I feel it would be a struggle for him. He has always been home schooled so he might not understand some things that the teachers are trying to teach him. But also he wouldn't be able to talk that well because Sig has never really seen anyone else but family and very little close friends. If he would be closer to town he would be able to interact more and understand more.

What would you say to your main character right now

I would say to Sig multiple things like it is ok and hang in there. The reason that I would say it is ok is because both of his parents are dead and his step mom might have ran away. Also because he was alone for a little while with a man beating him up and using him like a puppet to make him stuff. He also is in the house with the corpse of his deceased father. Wolf is also threatening to shoot him and his sister and wants to kill them. I would say hang in there because even though Anna doesn't know what to do they will come up with a way to get out of the situation. Also because though it seems like there is no way out there will come a time to escape. When it all seems dark there is a way out of these situations speaking that Wolf is a human and has to sleep so he has to have a way to get out. Even though Wolf can beat them both up.

You should have went with your sister and mom to go get help. When wolf gets introduced by knocking on the door why would you answer the door. I mean you're out in the wilderness who would be knocking on the door. I do not understand why you did not run after he is holding you captive. I mean having a gun pointed at your head is not the right time to stand up to wolf. It maybe be brave but stupid at the same time. When the author tells you that the dad stole wolf's gold does the dad not think that wolf would find them and could kill his family. Sig could have easily could have knocked out wolf because Sig had the gun. One of my beast thoughts was why did the dad move them out to the middle of nowhere because he thought they could find gold and he even says finding gold is very rare. If the dad could know where the ice would break why did he fall in and why did he have papers with him. Why do I think these things? Because how the athour goes about the story makes sig seem stupid!

what would you say to your main character right now

If I had a chance to talk to Sig I would tell him to be strong and to not give up.  I would say this because Sig is dealing with an internal conflict and there is a stranger in a room with him and the stranger has a gun and is pointing it at Sig.  Sig needs emotional support because he is all alone with no one to help him along with that he knows nothing about what the stranger is asking for.  I think Sig just needs emotional support right now and he just needs more confidence

How Would You Rate Your Character?

Our character Sig is rated on the stronger side of the scale. I say this because he is a great problem solver and knows what he is doing. Though he might be smart he is really struggling with all the things happening at that moment in time. He doesn't know what he should do or anything really, he thinks as he's doing it or even doing before thinking. 

Our comparisons are some what close but also can be far apart. Others in my group rate Sig in the about half range area. They thought this because he is really struggling on what to do but also has his accomplishments on what he is doing alone.I think that Sig will move down the scale. Because if he is struggling this early on he is going to make some pretty stupid ideas. These ideas might risk his life or the life of his family members that are still living.  But we can not tell the future so we have to wait for that moment.

blog post 4/ Brylee

I rated my character, Sig, somewhere in the middle. Because he is in his families cabin all by himself with a scary guy and his dead, frozen father. And he is struggling with his thoughts to use his families revolver hidden in the cabin or not. if he uses it he is going to kill the scary guy because the guy is asking/ demanding Sig to tell him where his father keeps the gold but Sig doesn't know the guy or what he is talking about. So I put him in the middle because he's strong for staying in the cabin but he's not strong for having to think for days on what to do, Use the revolver or not.


Most of my group put Sig in the middle, like where I put him. But some of them put him on the strong side. Because he is very strong and brave. But he is also not.

Strong or Weak?

     At this point in the book I think on the scale of weakest to strongest he is a seven or eight. I think that because he is in his room with his dead father and there is a stranger in the room with a revolver, but on the flip side he struggles with internal conflict. He is struggling with what to do about the guy in his house and doesn't know if he should go get the revolver or not.
    Jayce, Brylee and I all agree that he is a seven or eight rating, because of his current situation he is in. Although he is a little weak now I do think he will get stronger because he has to find courage and strength in order to survive and help his family.
