ZERO DAY

BY: JAN GANGSEI

Prezi By: Taylor Snyder

Main Character:

Addie Webster

Date: May 12, 2017

A Summery of the Book

Addie Webster was kidnapped from her home: the governor's house.

8 years later, the now 16 year old Addie has returned just in time for her dad to become president of the United States. Some people say she planned her own kidnapping, but what, or how Addie is still alive is a mystery. Her best friend, Darrow, is thrilled about her return, but suspicious. How can Addie appear 8 years later and still be alive, and just in time for her to live a high class life? Coincidence? I think not.

Conflict in the book

Conflict in the book

The conflict in Zero Day is Addie Webster. She just appears without warning on a secret mission to extract all of the White Houses data and sell it to terrorists. Her boss, the kidnapper, is telling Addie what and how to do it. She is faced with following her heart and not betraying her country or following her boss, the one who rasisd her since she was young. Addie's "father", her boss and kidnapper, has taught her wrong is good and good is wrong. What will Addie Webster choose?

Quotes

"Thank you," she whispered. "I love you, father." pg. 252

This was Addie. The before Addie, before she was kidnapped, traumatized and forced to become part of the terrorist group. This memory of Addie's is the "last good memory".

How Addie Changes in the Story

Addie changes because at the beginning of the book she wants to go along with her boss's plan, thinking it would do no harm. Toward the end of the book Addie realizes her kidnapper had betayed her into doing the most awuful thing imaginable, bombing her high school prom. Addie quickly discovers this and refuses to go along with the plan. She has changed from a terrorist to an {almost} normal, scared teenager.

Before:

Addie wants to follow along with her kidnapper's evil plan, so she meets him in the middle of the night. pg. 233

After:

Addie tries to convince her partner, Michael, that the plan is dangerous and he should not go through with it.

pg. 327

How did Addie solve the Problem?

Addie solved her conflict by changing her mind. Her problem was she was working with terrorists, and her solution was to stop working with them. However, it was not so easy. Addie had to defuse the bomb that was about to be set off during her prom. Thankfully, she succeeded. Although, that left the kidnapper and partner, Micheal, enough time to flee the country.

What does Addie look like?

What does Addie look like?

Addie Webster is a female that has long dark hair and green eyes, and

she mostly wears jeans with a T-shirt.

What actions show the characters personality?

"It was a girl, crouched in a ball, hands cluched over her head. She was barefoot, wearing just a pair of jeans and a thin black T-shirt. Her dark hair hung in a curtain around her face. Darrow moved closer and reached out a hand, touching the girls back. She jolted, head tilted sideways. The green eyes he'd waited to see were wide with fear." pg 37

This reveals that Addie is fearful and paranoid.

" I know you don't want to do this, Mikey ", Addie said," I know you. You don't kill people! Please....."

This shows that Addie is very compassionate toward others. She finds the good even in bad people.
