Thief of Always - Journal - Part 3

Chapter eight-thirteen:

1. Pg. 80; Tell a water story from your real life; describe a time when you encountered water.
2. Pg. 81; Describe a precious item you lost or that was stolen from you.
3. Pg. 83; Describe a dream you have.
4. Pg. 89-92; Describe a transformation or explore the possibility of being something else. What would you like to be? Why?
5. Describe a time you witnessed or participated in the death of a living being.
6. Pg. 130. An appositive is a description of a named noun. It is used after a comma to clarify or provide further detail to something already identified. Carna is described in a series of appositives (the appositive phrase is italicized): “Carna, the tooth-stealer; Carna, the devourer; Carna, the beast.” Use the appositive to describe an object or person.

This covers the first half of the book. The book is divided into two parts. The first part of the book has 13 chapters. The second does as well. There are 26 chapters in all. Think about why Barker divided his book in this manner.
