Plot
This is what caused Liam to lose it and leave the shelter he was sharing with Jahmin
He thought he saw Eugene; he left to hunt him down
I ran out of symbols so whoever hits the buzzer first automatically gets 100 points
Woohoo!
this person is dangerously self-centered
Idelle
She is incredibly narcissistic and does not care about the well being of any other character. She doesn't even care about her "friend" Chantelle who has died.
Who said, "There was absolutely no doubt in her mind that Theo would get them out of this. He was a geek, and geeks had special powers like that. She did enjoy tormenting him, though. The little burst of independence, of belligerence, had been squashed out of him. It felt good."
Idelle
New Zealand
This was the inciting action that started off the novel's conflict
The bus crashing and going over the cliff
In te ao Māori, this bird can sometimes be an omen of death.
A fantail
This person is becoming more appreciated by their peers
Devin
Eva and Rocky are starting to see past Devin's status at school and recognize the many things she's good at (finding food, making shelter, stitching up Rocky's leg)
Who said: ‘Yeah, well, Dad’s always like, “You’re Māori, so you have to be twice as good as everyone else, but don’t worry, it’s not that hard.” I guess I just got in the habit. It’s no big deal. If you put the work in, it comes easy.’
Rocky
Who is the author of Flight of the Fantail
Steph Matuku
This action shows Idelle's total lack of respect for the dead, and her amoralism
Eagerly taking things (clothes, jewelry) from her classmate's corpses.
"She smiled. It was almost like shopping"
This is what Eva holds onto as a symbol of her friend watching over her.
Mandy's bracelet
This person has rich parents and is constantly in trouble at school
Jahmin
Who said, 'I'm going to be a plumber'
Devin
The genre the book is written in
Science Fiction
This was the very first thing Devin did that demonstrated her survival capability to her peers
Pulling them out of the river
For Idelle, these symbolize the hope of rescue
The pile of phones and electronics
This person is unable to move on from their guilt
Liam
He has been obsessing over the moment he left Eugene in the bus to die, and started hallucinating that he saw Eugene
Who said, ‘Oh, shut up,’ ... ‘Can’t I be nice for a change?’
Eva
the number of named characters that have died or are assumed dead so far (up to start of chapter 24)
Five
Mrs. Harlow, Chantelle, Eugene, Awhina, and Theo.
This foreshadows that Seddon Corp have something to hide, and have ulterior motives while searching for the students
Refusing to let Search and Rescue into the area
For Devin, Rocky and Eva, this object symbolizes the comforts of their normal world
Mandy's backpack
It holds food, first aid, a warm cardigan: all things helping them survive in the bush
This person is assumed to be good at something they are not
Theo
Idelle assumed that Theo was able to fix computers and phones, even though he wasn't. He just liked to read his murder mysteries.
Who said, "I promise you, we will keep you up to date with everything that’s going on. If the students are there, Seddon will find them."
Griff
The CEO of Seddon Corporation
True or false:
Today is the last day you will ever see Miss Boyd
True.
Goodbye!
