Literary Essay



     I am writing about the book: The Time Travelers. I will write about the character Kate Dyer. This character is a character who is the eldest kid, and she is very protective of her little brothers and sisters. She likes to have a simple life on a farm with not many people around but family.
     Kate is a person that would rather have a life with no crazy actions and moments than she would want a crazy life with every twist and turn something else happens. She worries about her brothers and sisters.In the book though she gets stronger and stronger and learns that she has to be brave to get through the adventure that she is in.
     I have an excerpt to prove my idea about Kate: "The year?" "Yes, the year" "Why, the year of or lord seventeen hundred and sixty-three. "1763" mouthed kate silently. The shock of it was too much for Peter to take in, and for a moment he felt no emotion at all. then he had a strong urge to giggle but found himself instead sinking to the ground. Kate kept repeating "1763" to herself as if to hammer the meaning home. She turned very pale and then said, "I feel a bit dizzy," and collapsed at Gideon's feet.
     This explains my idea because she just figured out that she got transported to 1763 and  she would rather have a simple life than one that twists and turns every minute.
     Overall, Kate is a very worried character that figures out that she needs to be tough and try not to think about family.
