So far I have been reading the book Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. The paragraph below demonstrates the strong emotion that comes from this book. While I have read this book, I have felt the need to help the characters in any way possible. I also believe this book can be thought provoking. During my brief explanation, it will show exactly how impossible their wishes are and how suspenseful this book can get.
The Main conflicts within the book Shiver contain all of physical, moral, and emotional. The most common conflict that should be focused on is emotional. The protagonists’ desire is for Sam to remain Sam and not a wolf. What is keeping him from doing so is that of the rules of a werewolf.
The rules or complication to live by would be that during a certain season and or temperature, he can transform into his wolf like self. This is a painful transformation for Sam; as it binds and bends bones and muscles in order to change. He is to change whenever it’s cold enough to shiver.
This is emotional because if he cannot remain a human, both he and grace, his girlfriend, cannot communicate or see each other again. This motivates Grace greatly as she will do anything to keep him from shivering. There love for each other is too great and strong for them to give up now.
They have until the end of winter to decide how they are to keep Sam human, or to search for new answers.
