The+Wish+List



Exposition: This story takes place modern day in a large city and between Life and Death and Heaven and Hell. The main characters names are Meg Finn, who is not a bad kid but she isnt exactly an angel eiether. Her partner in crime name is Belch, who has got her into attempted robbery of an elderly man named Lowrie McCall who is also a main character. "There was nothing funny about breaking into an old timer's apartment."

 External conflict: Belch and Meg both die in a unexspected acident. Meg gets stuck between heaven and hell and has to decide wheter she wants to go to heaven or hell and she will have lots of things stopping her from doing good. Belch on the other hand went striaght to hell and has to decide whether to turn Meg evil or not, Meg being his friend and all." One little pellet did it. One tiny ball bearing with a nick on its curves. The nick acted like a fin, sending it spiraling off its intended coarse. It hissed downward, superheating the air in a nanosecond. A new gas tank would have stopped it, and this on should have been replaced a decade ago. The rusted metal collapsed under the minuscule onslaught, allowing the white-hot sphere access to highly flammable gas-BOOM" Internal conflict: Meg has to help an old man named, Lowrie in order to go to heaven. She has to decide whether to help Lowrie by completing his "Wish list" while Belch is trying to sabatage her plan.

Theme: The theme of The Wish List is Meg has to have the courage to make her own decisions and, ultimatley, choose her own fate in order to fix her wrong doings during her life. "See, girl, see! Purple. Goddie and baddie. Even-stevens. Fifty fifty." Meg was starting to get the gist. "So what happens now?" she asked. "No pearlies. No pit. Back" spoke Flit. "Back?" The thing that had once been a man nodded. "Back. Fix the bad things." 

Climax: The climax of The Wish List is when Meg and Lowrie are climbing on the Cliff or Moher and Belch and Elph come and try to kill Lowrie. "Lowrie looked up. There was a small creature floating before him. Is was malignant, he was certain. Sinisters gadgets were sproutingfrom his frame, and a green beam emanated from one eye. Lowrie's heart cranked up a notch. It was one notch to many. Shutdown!" There is a ton of suspention and you cannot predict the ending which is why we enjoyed the climax.
