Ooh I liked it 🙂 And I loved all the bits that relate to wind (like Life Breather and Breathed).

 

Scene Questions

1. Is there anything that stood out to you as intriguing about this scene?

I loved the clearness of the writing of the moment it portrayed.

2. What would you say the mood was of this scene?

Tendrils of love, longing, fear, excitement, wonder, shock, confusion, nostalgia all swirled together to come into the warmth of receiving acknowledgement/recognition.

I wasn’t sure whether it would be a positive thing for the child to have been able to see the wind at the start, but it flowed really well and left quite the satisfying end.

3. What character(s) in this scene would you like to know more about?

I would like to know more about the wind and the child. It feels as if they (the wind character) have now been acknowledged as a being and I’d like to see how this plays out further on. Do they meet the child again? Is the child able to still see them? Does the child remember the encounter later on? Or even recognise the wind as a being later on? It was a really lovely piece and I want it to continue.

4. Which character, if any, do you feel the most empathy toward in this scene alone?

The wind character – the longing for something that digs deep inside.

5. Which of the following, as a reader, do you wish I had developed more fully in this scene?

a. Setting – Perhaps a bit more, earlier on. But then again, I liked that it was in the background.

 

6. Do you feel that the dialogue in this scene flows or is mechanical and stilted?

I think it flowed pretty well.

7. Did you learn something in this scene that you wondered about in a previous scene?

 

8. Did this scene make you want to read more scenes? (Why or why not?)

Yes (see Q3).

9. Is there any part of the scene that you personally felt did not belong?

No.

10. What, if anything, would you change about this scene to make it more interesting to you?

I don’t know why the child can see the wind character. Seemed to be the case was at first, but then later ‘normal eyes’ were mentioned, so now I’m unsure if that is the case. I’d like this clarified.

 

Overall ~ I loved it. And your reading just added to it 🙂
