Ch 30 : The end? Not yet!

View of Turtle Wexler:
I spent the night at the bedside of eighty-five-year old Julian R. Eastman.
Me, Turtle, as known as T.R, am thirty-seven years old now. I was the only one heir who got an inheritance, also, only one heir who may inherit the chairman of Westing Paper Products Corporation.
Sandy is a turning points of my life and he is the only one I trust.

At that time, we were talking about other heirs.
Then suddenly Sandy interrupted me and said, “Turtle?” So I said, “Yes, Sandy. I am here.” He had kept calling me. Then he said, “Turtle… tell Crow to pray for me.” I was hollering his name. “Sandy??...Sandy!” I felt hopeless. Yes, I was, also, I am.

Earthen Game's clues

  • The letters were signed Windy Airaghi.
  • JANE EARTHEN FOUND DEAD
  • • Sandy Waterman
  • • Jane Earthen
  • • Susan Firenze
  • elemental triangles
  • SODAVID TOWER (seems like the pyramid in Egypt)

SODAVID TOWER

Star of David
First, sodavid tower is the acronym of Star of David
Do you guys remember that I mentioned that SODAVID TOWER seems like the pyramid in Egypt??
Pyramid's shape of structure is triangle
and triangle is represent fire in Stat of David.
Therefore I decided the answer of the game is
"Susan Firenze" the name includes fire.

Conclusion

The Westing Game is not over yet
Therefore, my conclusion of this chapter is the westing game is not over yet.

Process

First at all, I was wondering about the assignment that I chose.
-Which chapter will be the most interesting part if I changed the setting and stories?
-What it would happened if I change the ending of the Westing Game?
Then I choose to rewrite about chapter 30 by view of turtle wexler.

First-person point of view

Okay, first, through this project, I spent my time to think about what are the good ways to write "first-person point of view story"
It is really hard to explain the descriptions of character in first-person point of view story.
And I emailed to Mrs Parker then she gave me some advices.
First, Do not writing the story to explain everything to reader. Just let the stories go smoothly.
Secondly, just think that you are the narrator, which means that the story is about your story.

How can I come up with the title

-"The end? Not yet!"-
As my chapter name is "The end? Not yet!" I spent some times to think about the chapter's name.
Mrs Parker told me that when she is titling a chapter, she often wait until it is written, then she go through the chapter and look for a theme.
Therefore, I want to contain the meaning that the westing game is not end yet.

Which things were hard to comp up with…

were
the view points of turtle, and
How can I change Ending to starting, and
How can I make some interesting clues.
Lastly, the name of characters and settings of Earthen game.
