Turning Point

Give the title and author of your book, and tell what page you are currently on.
Think about whether the plot of your story has reached a turning point or not.

If it has, describe what that turning point is, and predict how you think this turning point will affect the outcome of the story. Use lots of specific detail from the book in support of your ideas.

If the story has not reached a turning point yet, predict what that turning point will be, and what will happen during the rest of the story as a result of your prediction. Again, use plenty of detail in support of your ideas.
