Most Interesting Character

The Book Of Michael

-In my opinion the most interesting character in the novel is Michael Grove. I think he's the most interesting character because he has been through a lot, with him getting convicted of a major crime he didn't even do.

-Three personalities (Before prison, in prison, out of prison)

Conclusion

In conclusion I would like to thank everyone for listening to my presentation. THE END

-Metaphor

Phyllis says "That oxygen mask makes me sound like Darth Vader (18.171)". Meaning that she's comparing her breathing through an oxygen mask to Darth Vader.

-Verbal Irony

The first day Michael goes back to school a news reporter asks him "How does it feel to be back with all of your friends" and Michael says "It's great (17.159)".

1. Miranda confessed six months later while Michael was in prison, was it because she wanted him to suffer for dating someone else, or because she was just simply afraid of the consequences?

2. If you were in my position choosing a book for your isp seminar, and read the short synopsis on the back, would you pick this book? Why or why not?
