**Task 1 **

//Monday, February 14th, 2011 //


 * Protag ﻿ on﻿ist- ** Daniel Zachariah Thomson is the protagonist. In the Mental Ward Zack was the kind of keep to yourself person. He preferred to be on his own and this was probably because of his allergies. He was angry when he didn’t get his food on time. Zack was energetic and almost always active. Outside of the ward he became more aware of his surroundings and learned to be more “street smart”. I think he developed a sense of awareness that not everyone is nice, that he couldn’t have learned living in a mental ward.


 * Antagonist- **The antagonist in this story is Baron Vrolok. He is the man who murdered Zack’s father and now he wants Zack. At one time in his life, the Baron might have been kind because he married a wonderful woman, who turns out to be the hero, not just another problem. The Baron is strong, not because he is a vampire, but because he has lived for so long and knows so much.

Later on in the story Zack goes to live at the Crazy Motorcycle Man’s “safe house.” There really isn’t much to say about the safe house. It was empty because the man who owned it said that if you didn’t learn to let go of the past you will hit the “end point” in a vampire’s life span, meaning they will go insane. Once the “safe house” was invaded by evil cops, Zack fled and the only place he could think to go was his home before his father died. In the house there was a very intimidating dog. But, Zack managed to get by it and into the main area of the house. Inside of the house Zack mainly stayed in his father’s old closet. The closet smelled of mothballs and was made of wood. The interesting part was that there was a compartment in the wall that slid out and inside it was, his father’s journal, a box of money from all areas of the world and passports to anywhere in the world. Soon this house became unsafe and Zack escaped unharmed. Only to go to his friend Charlie’s cottage. He didn’t stay in the cottage, but he lived in Charlie’s shed for the time being. The shed was small and dark and like most sheds, it held tools and garden supplies. It wasn’t used often because Charlie’s brother, Dan, was the office type and had a lot of work. Like all the other times this house converted into an “unsafe house” putting everyone in danger. Zack’s Uncle Max came and took him to his “office” where he would be doomed to the worst fate imaginable. The office was ravishing with all of its antiques and quality. It was antique and yet modern, if that’s possible. Later Zack was taken to another place below the office where he met Baron Vrolok, who wasn’t to happy. This compartment was dark so their skin didn’t get burnt by the sunlight and the windows were covered in black so the sun couldn’t get in. The windows were controlled by the flick of a switch on a small black box. There was an elevator of to the side and a sack with his two best friends inside it.
 * Setting- **Of all the places on Earth this book first takes place in a Mental Ward in Peterborough, Ontario. From the sounds of it the Mental Ward is a pretty freaky place. It has all the class act looneys, from psycho to abnormal behaviors. But, from Zack’s point of view its just another day. At the Mental Ward they treated Zack to his special needs and in this case it was sunlight and food allergies. The Mental Ward was comprised of a gymnasium, a cafeteria, a lobby, an area with a television and the cells Zack called home.


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Confl﻿ict- **<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Zack had to decide if his uncle is really his uncle because why hadn’t he come sooner than this. He had to decide if he should trust his uncle because his uncle came in and told him he was a vampire and it made no sense what so ever. He had to decide wether or not to go with the Crazy Motorcycle Man because he smelt of whiskey and alcohol, which means he might not be in the right state of mind. He had to decide if he should go to his friend Charlie because he could be putting him at risk of being eaten by a vampire and he would have to expose that vampires exist. Near the end he needed to decide which was worse killing your best friend so you can live or let another vampire kill him instead. This decision was forced on him but the killing urge was to strong for him to resist anyway.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I find it very hard to make text-to-self connections in this book because I am not really like any of these characters. These people like blood, they don’t like sun and they live forever. Yes, I am talking about vampires. Last time I checked I didn’t like blood, I LOVE the sun and sadly I am not immortal.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">For me the bad thing about not liking blood is that I want to be a veterinarian or a doctor. I decided this when I was 7 or 8 and haven’t changed my mind yet. I think like most children Zack had dreams to become a pirate or a prince and rescue damsels in distress. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Ever since I was little I have loved the sun. I always want to be outside playing or getting a tan. I can’t imagine what I would do if I couldn’t go out in the sun. Sadly zack hasn’t felt the sun on his face since he was around 9 or 10. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Some things I do have in common with Zack is that he loves to run and so do I. Zack, most of the time, runs when he’s mad or just has spare time. Sometimes I run because I have to but, other times I run because, like zack, I need to blow off some steam or not think about school and the stress it brings.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I can relate to Zack near the end of he book when he kills his best friend because I would have done the same thing. If I was Zack in this situation I would feel horrible for the rest of my life, but I wouldn’t have worried about it. It sounds funny to say I wouldn’t have worried about it but if it were me it wouldn’t have happened. I would have listened harder to his Uncle Max when he was telling Zack that in order to turn into a vampire you need to drain almost all of the blood, meaning Charlie lives anyway.

1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">3. Write an alternate (better?) ending for the novel. //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Sunday, March 6th, 2011 //
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 160%;">Night Runner Tasks __**

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Zack, your Uncle has sent me to get you." Those were the words I thought I had been waiting to hear, since the night I had fled the ward. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Who are you?" I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"There isn’t time for that! We must leave at once!" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"How do I know you are who you say you are?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Because I am your only hope right now. So get in!" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">There was something telling me that I shouldn’t go, but my gut was telling me that I should. I wanted to go because I might be able to see my Uncle, but, I didn’t because I had no clue of knowing whom this man was. Or if he even knew my Uncle. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Let’s go boy, your wasting time!" he said. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I decided that I would go with him because I didn’t think I had a choice. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">He had a beautiful 599 GTB Fiorano Ferrari. I noticed that this car was extremely high-tech. It had everything you could think of in it, except a cappuccino maker. It had a built in GPS and his car talked to him. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Now will you tell me who you are, where you came from and how you found me?" I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"My name is Anton Binsky, I came from Europe and I have been tracking you since you hunted that deer in the forest." he answered in a very calm tone. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Are you taking me to my Uncle?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Not yet, if I am correct, you haven’t eaten for almost a week?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Ya, so." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"When we arrive at my home, I will get you something that should satisfy you." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">The drive was short and I had no idea when we would arrive at our destination. Thoughts of Luna and Charlie were swirling in my head. I regret not telling Luna the truth when I had the chance. I wondered where I would be right now if I hadn’t gone with Mr. Binsky. I was also wondering if I could trust him. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Suddenly the car came to a stop and we were at his house. It was an ancient house, but, it was huge. The house was a beige color and had 10 sets of windows along the third floor, ten windows along the second floor and ten windows along the first floor. I knew it was old because there were vines growing up the sides of the mansion. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">The front yard was beautiful and full of plants like, Orchids, Daises and Red Poinsettias. He made it clear that he cared for his yard because there must have been close to 11 people, buzzing around from plant to plant like bees collecting pollen. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"My butler, Gordon will show you where you will be staying this evening." said Anton. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"When will I get to see my Uncle?" I asked, for what felt like the thousandth time. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Later, now go change for supper." he answered sounding a little agitated. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Hello, my name is Gordon. Can I show you to your room?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Ya thanks." I said sounding a little cautious. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Gordon took me through a series of halls leading to my new home away from home. On our way I saw family portraits, paintings of landscapes and objects that were placed along the walls as if they were trophies. The objects were ordinary things like a vase or a tiny clock, but, they were all dusted, polished and cleaned. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">We must have gone up twenty flights of stairs before Gordon said, "Here we are. I will come for you when you meal has been prepared." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Gordon?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Yes." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Is Anton Binsky really his name?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"...Yes... I believe so." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Okay thank you." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">When Gordon had left I thought to myself, Why would he have hesitated when answering a question about someone’s name? Then I came to me. He was an imposter! Now my only question was, who is this man and what does he want with me. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Half an hour later Gordon returned as promised and took me down the twenty something stairs to the dinning room. It was a magnificent room with a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The walls were a light brown with very small, detailed, etched in designs. There was a large table in the middle of the room with twenty or so seats at it. The floor was white with large, brown patterns all over it. At one end of the table sat the imposter. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Zack, please have a seat." said Anton. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I calmly took my seat and wondered how long it would take them to figure out that I knew he wasn’t who he said he was. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Gordon will you get Zack his supper?" asked Anton. Gordon nodded and brought out a body bag. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I glanced over at Mr. Binsky and saw a look in his eye that made me wonder what was in the bag. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Zack it’s all yours. Open it" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I walked over and unzipped the bag. To my amazement Suki was in the bag and she was bleeding. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Why did you do this?" I questioned. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"I thought you were hungry." he answered. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">By this time her blood was all over me and I couldn’t resist. I had tasted human blood once before, but seeing all that blood go to waste I couldn’t resist. I felt the warm blood in my mouth and then slide down my throat. I felt horrible inside, but, I was hungry. Once I had started I knew she had to lose enough blood to turn into a vampire. If she didn’t then she would die. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Don’t you feel better now Zack?" he asked me in a smug tone. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Who are you?" I mumbled. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"I am an associate of you Uncle’s." he replied. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Why would he want this?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"You told your friend and he would have told someone and I couldn’t have that." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Why me?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Because your special. Gordon, take him to his room." he demanded. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">When I got back in my room I pulled out all the books on the shelf, one by one, to see if I could find out any thing about the man I was living with. I went through over half of the books and finally found one book about vampires and in it was a deed to the house with the name Baron Vrolok as the signature. I pulled out my father’s journal and looked at the last entry it said, Today we will be embarking on a journey to the mountains to locate BV(which I guess is Baron Vrolok). <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">As I was putting away the books Vrolok walked through the door with about five other men who I would normally run from. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Zack, you might want to know your friend is still alive and she has escaped, but, she won’t be gone long." he told me as coldly as possible. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"How do you think you’ll find her?" I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Bring him with me." demanded th Baron. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">All at once five huge men grabbed me and practically dragged me out the room, down the stairs, into the basement and finally into a dark, damp room. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Seeing as you know who I am you can’t be in a nice room." said the Baron. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"What do you want with me?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"It’s very simple, you are your father’s son and he killed my wife." barked the Baron. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"What does any of this have to do with me?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"He took something from me and I believe you may have it." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"What did he take?" I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"My wife’s half of our necklace." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Vrolok nodded and his goons searched me. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"You have your necklace. Can I go now?" I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"No." he answered in a very stern voice. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I noticed that behind him was Ophelia and Suzanne so I had to keep him going or else noone was getting out of here. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"So, what is it that you do with my Uncle." I asked. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"I don’t work with your Uncle. He tries to make vampires like me good. I just fool men like him into believing I am better so that they will leave me alone." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">While we were talking Ophelia had taken out all the guards and were at the windows. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Vrolok, leave him alone or I will bust open this window and we will all go down." demanded Ophelia. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Ohh, look who it is to save the day. Our beloved Ophelia. I gave you a chance to help me instead of those incompetent humans like his father." said Vrolok. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Vrolok, give up or I swear I will do it." said Ophelia. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"You don’t have the guts." stated Vrolok. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Ohh really." said Ophelia while raising the stick she had in her hand and smashing the window. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Suzanne take this cloak to Zack and I’ll take care of Vrolok." ordered Ophelia. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Zack are you okay?" asked Suzanne. Even though I wasn’t I said yes. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Suzanne, Zack lets get out of here." said Ophelia. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">When I woke up we were at Ophelia’s house and I was surrounded by Charlie, Ophelia, Suzanne and Luna. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Hi Zack nice to see you again." said Charlie in his sarcastic voice. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Hey." I mumbled. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"How are you feeling?" asked Ophelia. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"I feel fine." I said as I ast up. "Where is the other half of my necklace?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Where do you think?" said Luna holding the necklace. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Ophelia, can we be vampires too?" asked Charlie. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Charlie you know that we can’t do that." said Ophelia <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Why not?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being who we are." <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Like what?" <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Well we have to control ourselves which means not just random killing, we have to be sure not to tell anyone about us and we have to be very careful about who find out us." Ophelia answered. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">While Ophelia was talking Luna had grabbed two knives. She handed one to Charlie and kept one for herself.
