Most interesting thing in the book

I think that the most interesting thing that has happened in this book so far is when Nora finally got the letters translated because not many exciting action things have happened yet and I’m not expecting them to any time soon so the fact that she got the letters translated, which is a hard thing to do, is exciting. Also, it made her really excited and she was really happy to finally be able to read and understand the letters. After she did all of this she also talked about this to each and every single one of her friends.

The most interesting thing that has happened in our book so far is the sounds that Max and Nora have been hearing in the church. A particularly interesting night, Max and Nora were alone in the church working on the Latin letters that the Hoff gave them for an assignment. Max of all people tried to make conversation with Nora, and as they started to joke around everything suddenly became creepy when the noises started in the main worship area. Nora and Max instantly became quiet, and they thought it was an animal or something else that didn't pose a threat. As they went through the rows of pews and finally make it to a light switch, but it wouldn't turn on, so they were stuck in the dark alone... or so they thought.

The most exciting and interesting event is when Nora and Max were alone at the church. They were working at Mr.Hoff’s office then suddenly they hear a sound. They went to go investigate, but the lights in the area were burned out somehow. There was just enough light to see that there was a hole in the window that was the size of a person. Also the window was lined with blood. The reason why I think it is so important is because there must have been a good reason for why a person would want to break into an old dusty church. There could be secrets within the library that the group doesn’t know about, but it might be uncovered sooner than I thought.

I think that the setting affects the mood of the story because the setting is a dark place, so that also makes the mood quite shady. Normally Chris, Nora, and the others met up in the office, Hoff's office, to decipher the latin language in all of the letters that Hoff obsesses about. It was a dark office, it was in a church but there was nothing holy about it, there was an old couch in the corner too old for the grim reaper, and a desk at the other side of the room so full of stuff it was like nothing would ever overcome it.

      The setting mostly takes place in Hoff's office mostly. So far, I think the overall mood of the story is boring and shady, but there seems to be something that is hiding behind that. Since Hoff’s office is always quiet with ancient books that line the walls, it fit perfectly with the fact that the beggining is bland and boring. When Nora discovers a hidden message within the binds of an old book, the office becomes a bit mysterious because it feels like Hoff is hiding something ancient. The event when Nora and Max found out that someone had broken into the church also made the setting even seem dangerous.

Setting

I think the mood would be different in many ways if the setting was different because of the fact that the setting is at a college. If the setting were to be at one of the characters homes, most of them probably wouldn’t see each other very often at all and then they would be alone a lot. If they were alone a lot then it would give more of a sadder mood because the mood is happy right now because they are always hanging out together in the book. Also, Nora would still be sad about her brothers death because none of her friends would be able to cheer her up.
