Book: Alabama Moon
Author: Watt Key
Prompt: Tell me about the main character. What kind of person is he/she?
The main character Blake Moon also known as Alabama Moon. Moon is a ten year old boy that lives out in the forest with his father they live of the land with little supplies from town which is six miles away from their hidden camp. Moon wears a deer skin shirt, hat, pants, and shoes that he made on his own from scratch. He is sensitive when it comes to words because you can make him angry by saying the littlest thing or just making a joke that he could find offensive.
Prompt 2:What does this book remind you of?
The book that Alabama Moon reminds me of is The Hatchet. Alabama Moon reminds me of The Hatchet because they are both young boys that live out in the forest on their own but they still some how manage to survive event though there are a lot of challenges in their path. For example some of the challenges in The Hatchet is that Brian has a bear that is always ruining his campsite looking around for food and in Alabama Moon, Moon has the crazy constable Sanders that is trying to track him down because of the accident that happened out in the forrest between the two.
Another reason that the book Alabama Moon reminds me of The Hatchet. Another reason is because in both of the stories there are animals that are friends with the main characters but both of the animals are not like regular house pets. In the story The Hatchet while Brian is out working on his little fish pond he turns around to find that a skunk had crawled into his shelter. He decided that he was going to kill it but then chose not to because it saved his life from a bear so he kept and know feeds it meat every night.And in the book Alabama Moon, Moon grabs a stick and prepares for the worst when he hears sanders dogs in pursuit of him. Then he found out that the one that was chasing him was nice and did not hurt him but helped him out by keeping him warm at night along with his friends that were with him.
