Being tested
All stories or movies was a many conflict which produces a road block for the protagonist. Usually the conflict is challenging for the protagonist and also leads to different events to occur. In the story Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon the main character, David Martin faces many challenges that make his life difficult as a writer. David had a poor family when he was young and his father was a drunk. Once he became an adult poverty didn't leave him. He had a job but the money he got was only enough to pay for a small apartment; one resembling a prison cell. However everyone gets a chance at getting to the top in life and David did too. His way out of poverty was write books for a publisher, however the book was not to be in his name. He had to obey that rule which no author really likes unless they chose to do so themselves. He was getting rich but he wasn't happy about not having his "own" book. Later on he begins to have serious health problems that could lead to death. However a mysterious man helped them and also offered him a chance at write a book with his own name on it. He couldn't take the offer though, due to the fact that he had a contract with his old publishers. After a few days he heard news that someone killed his publishers and also burned the storage room. This allowed him to take the mysterious man's deal. The about the relationship between David and his new "boss" and many other conflicts happen. However the only conflict that i could relate to is the one where he couldn't have his book with his name on it. I remember back when i was in middle school me and another kid did a project together but in the end the other kid told the teacher i didn't do any work at all. Therefore I did work but didn't receive credit for it. The two are the same because it was the crdit David wanted and me also.
