INTERVIEW!

YOU ARE A REPORTER AND YOU ASK QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE ANSWERS FROM A CHARACTER FROM THE BOOK

THIS IS A TOUGH ONE!

Questions

1. What did you think of the book?
2. What would you like to change about the book?
3. Why would you change it?

Answer

Dear Mr. King,

My name is Jack, I am 14-years-old and I am from New York. I am writing to you because I would like to share my insights on the book ''IT''. I liked the book because each character has a different personality and it shows how different people work together in a stressful situation. And of course, I am a fan of horror! However, I would like to change the ending to a definite ending instead of an open end. Owing to the fact that

Vervolg brief

there is much unclear about the motive of IT. I wonder why he waited so long to tell everyone about his past. It would have been more clear why he killed so many people and especially children. He is the evil guy, but if we had known more about his past, then we could even stop him or at least understand why and how someone is capable of such cruelty.

Afsluiting

Thank you in advance for replying to my letter. I hope to hear from you soon!

Yours sincerely, (YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE WRITER)

Jack Dawson
