    O.K. I see. Still, how special does extraordinary mean? I guess that can be one for me that makes me wonder. Like, is it something they’re born with or something literally given/accident in the story? What defines extraordinary in a story?

    Going back and reading your first post again, I’m just wondering, if you like #3, how do you write stories that grip people in that sort of plot? If I were to consider one of the characters of The Hawk and the Dove I might call him extraordinary if I were thinking of his character, but the majority was ordinary doing ordinary things that we might not label as “great”, but that book shook me up more than anything I’ve ever read before.
