Mystery Resolution

Now that you have finished your book, what was the resolution to your mystery? If you did not write about the climax yet, briefly explain the climax and how it led to the resolution. Remember to use specific examples. Did you like how your story ended? Why or why not?

Mystery - THICK Question

Last week, you were to write four thin and four thick questions for the Discussion Director role. You were to have answered your thin questions but not your thick questions. Choose one of your thick questions to answer today. Rewrite the question and answer it, being sure to give support to your argument and specific examples to back-up your statements.

Mystery - Climax

As discussed in class, you should at the very least be half-way through your mystery novel. Tell me how far you are and briefly summarize the mystery of your story so far. What is the main mystery that is trying to be solved? Also, since you are half-way through, you should be experiencing some rising action which may or may not have led to a literary climax at this point. What are some of the components of your plot that you believe contribute to the rising action of your mystery? Do you think you have read the climax yet? Why or why not? Make sure your answer shows your understanding of how the plot works to create a rising action that leads to the climax of the plot.
