I have read I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. There was a couple sentences that had lots of information but the one that was the most packed was on page 165 paragraph 1. "The First SnowFall comes two weeks later A slight dusting, just enough to cover the truck with a fine powder... we've worked everyday without fail, through the cold weather and the rain and now the snow." I feel like this sentence tells me alot about the Setting, the main character and Four.
The reason i feel that this loaded sentence was a beautiful way to explain the is because its very poetic. It explains the snow in a bright, calm, white, cold. When other books explain the setting its usually like: One morning in a hot day in the kitchen (BORINGGG). The way Pittacus Lore explains this setting is amazing it makes me actually feel what they feel and imagine my self where they are.It makes me want to bottle up this sentence in a jar and listen to it on and on and on like a new pop song.
The reason that i feel like this is a loaded sentence because it explains four. Four is a very teenage character which makes me and other people that are in the range of 10-15 relate to him, One thing we all have in common is we love snow! Four is not a person who has seen alot of snow. All the places he had moved to were hot dry places and this is his first experience with snow. What i think Pittacus is trying to do is make that sentence packed with beautiful, poetic words but at the same time make it a description that a teenager would say.Therefore the loaded sentence above^^ (In the blue) is a packed sentence that describes alot about the setting and the main character Four. The poetic and explanatory words describes the setting clearly and beautifully. The teenage like words and feeling helps me know that its Four who is seeing look at it and describing the winter snow. Honestly this is the most interesting sentence in the book. I feel like i have to reread the book for the second time to refresh and and find more details and interesting parts that i can write more about on my blogposts! :)
