In this journal, I will be predicting and evaluating.

What seems like a normal situation can get out of hand quickly. Get out while you can, unlike the characters that were created by Michael Northrop in the book Trapped. Strong gusts of wind along with heaps and heaps of snow bury them inside the school. As things grow colder so does Scotty, Jason, Pete, Eli, Krista, Julie, and Elijah’s hope grows smaller. But each of them all have one small light of hope in them, and each one dreams of being rescued and back with their families safe and sound. In the book Trapped Northrop uses dialogue, flashbacks, and symbolism to make the characters more relatable and realistic.

Junior’s sister had given up school, but once had a dream of writing romance novels. Along with Junior’s sister, Junior’s father and mother gave up way before she did. Everyone else on the reservation had given up since it was ultimately a death camp. Even the young teenagers had given up in school.
