Blog for Week 10-14-16- Kill Order


The Kill Order 
by: James Dashner
Prompt: Describe a character that you would like to meet (which doesn’t mean that you
think you would like the character, but that you think the character would be
interesting). List 4 questions that you would ask.
Pages: 1-65

If I got to meet any character it would be Alec because he is a former U.S. Military pilot. I would first ask him how was his experience in battle? I would ask him this question because I am just so curious on how people fighting in wars feel during battles. Another question I would ask him is at any time did he feel scared. This is an obvious question to ask because most people that fight in wars could be scared because anything could happen in war like they can get killed, they can lose or get wounded and never be the same again. 

Third question I would ask Alec is how he dealt with post-traumatic stress? This would be a great question to ask him since most, if not all soldiers deal with this after coming home after all. Some even go crazy, but since Alec didn't go crazy I wonder how he dealt with it. Post-traumatic stress is a big thing when you go to war because you are seeing a lot of people get wounded or die. Plus you can get really paranoid that you are going to be attacked and end up going crazy trying to protect yourself from something that probably won't even happen.  

The final question I would ask him is how he had survived the sun flares?  I wonder this because most of the earth's population died because of the flares. Where he hide also goes with the question because a lot of places would end would end up burning, and he could or would probably end up being dead.

  1. I could see why you would want to ask those questions. Some characters we don't get to know that well in books, so these questions could really tell a lot about a character you want to know more about. The post was good, but maybe you can explain the book more (sun flares, the main plot, etc.)
