  2. Hawkes Harbor By: S.E.Hinton Adult, Horror

  3. Summery An orphan and a bastard, Jamie Sommers grew up knowing he had no hope of heaven. Conceived in adultery and born in sin, Jamie was destined to repeat the sins of his parents -or so the nuns told him. And he proved them right. Taking to sea, Jamie sought out danger and adventure in exotic ports all over the world as a smuggler, gunrunner-and murderer. Tough enough to handle anything, he's survived foreign prisons, pirates, and a shark attack. But in a quiet seaside town in Delaware, Jamie discovered something that was enough to drive him insane-and change his life forever. For it was in Hawkes Harbor that Jamie came face to face with the ultimate evil.... -Found on BarnesandNoble.com as well as on back cover of book

  4. Point of View • Third Person-Omniscient • The narrator is all-knowing, and can see into the minds of all of the characters. The narrator can also report what is said and done. • We find out what all of the characters do, feel, think, and witness.

  5. Characters • Jamie Sommers • Direct & Indirect • Explains his looks and some personality traits, uses flashbacks for the other personality traits • Dr. McDevitt • Indirect • He’s important but not the main character, so Hinton just let the flow of the story tell his personality • Kellen Quinn • Indirect • In Jamie’s flash backs you found out about his character traits • Grenville Hawkes • Direct • Jamie gave a very vivid explanation of Grenville • Dr. Louisa Kahne • Indirect • She wasn’t important but enough to be what kept the story going at a point, you figured out her traits as the events of the story rolled by.

  6. Literary Devices • Irony • Jamie is a money craved person and when told of a hidden pirates loot on a peninsula, what is actually found is not what is expected • Foreshowing • A death is foreshadowed • Flashbacks • Hinton uses flashbacks out of chronological order to tell the adventurous story of Jamie Sommer’s life.

  7. Literary Devices Cont. • Imagery • Hinton uses imagery so you vividly understand Jamie’s flashbacks and pain inflicted upon him. • Allusion • Late in the story, Hinton uses allusion as Jamie and Grenville’s first encounter, calling it the “nightmare” • Metaphor • Jamie often used a metaphor to describe or talk about Grenville, using “It”, and “evil”. Excuse that some of these may be wrong, literary devices get me every time.

  8. My Opinion Pros Cons • The ‘hook’ caught me like it was suppose to. • How thrilling and adventurous it stayed through-out to the end. • Hidden Humor • Profanity (it gives characters personality) • It gave the story away on the 60th page • How it went from realistic fiction to nonrealistic fiction

  9. Recommendation I recommend this book for those who enjoy thrillers that have exotic and twisted turns. And mature enough to handle profanity and adult situations. So the mature people in this world. 

  11. “ The narrative style, for instance, incorporating flashbacks with the present was a challenge. Especially since the flashbacks are not in chronological order. I even managed to stick in a flash-forward. I got to go to exotic places. Write scenes of tragedy and humor, sometimes both at the same time. Since all of the characters have distinctive speech patterns, the dialog was very fun to write.  “ - S.E. Hinton in an interview.
