40 Book Challenge 1/20/15

Zebra Forest by Adina Rishe Gewirtz
Prompt:
-Describe the most important event. Give some reasons why you think it is the most important event.
-Describe the setting – when and where what you are reading takes place.
Pages: 0-158

     The most important event in Zebra Forest is when a man comes to their door step and keeps Annie, Rew, and grandma hostage. This is the most important event because this is when everything starts to happen, and they figure out who this man is. This man's name is Andrew Snow. He is the father of Annie and Rew, and the son of Grandma.

     This is really important because in the book it states that grandma told Annie and Rew that their father (Andrew Snow) was "killed in a fight with an angry man" (6). Grandma was a really good liar, and this was the biggest lie yet. Andrew was actually the "angry man" and he actually killed someone and was sent to jail. He then came to the doorstep of a house with no other houses near it and kept his own children and mother hostage. He did that because he escaped the prison, and their house was near the prison. This is really important event, thats what I think since they actually found out their father wasn't dead.

      The setting of Zebra Forest is the house that is located outside of the city and it is surrounded by large trees that are black and white that resemble a zebra. There are no other houses for miles they take the bus to go to the city. The only thing near their house was the prison were Andrew escaped from. The story takes place mostly in the small house, where they are kept hostage.

I commented on Siari, Devin, Diana, and Lillian's blog.
