Blog Assignment #2


1) Write about some of the pieces you have been exploring in the ELC.

In the ELC I looked at Galatea, Everybody Dies and those two stuck out to me because it was like a text based video game. Very interesting stories that developed through the interaction between the text and the reader. Although it was a bit frustrating because for the story to progress specific commands have to be entered that elicit a response, if you don't give the right command then you're basically stuck. I liked this challenge because it was more engaging and made it all the more satisfying once I figured out how to keep the story going.

2) My story will have four characters: 

Elizabeth- the reader will be able to follow her search for her mothers killer and view the world through her eager and frantic eyes. 

Robert- Elizabeth's step brother who is a recluse so he only sees the events that occur inside the house. 

Charles- Roberts father and Elizabeth's adoptive father. His persepctive will take the reader back in time before Robert and Elizabeth were babies and the reader will get a back story for the events that Elizabeth is investigating. 


Laura- Roberts mother, this perspective will be truncated at her death but the reader will get a different perspective on motives and also new information that will be relevant to how the characters in the present time of the story will proceed with the information they discover when investigating her death.
