Why did I Choose This Article?
This article is describing a supposed northern Californian family who's family members have been captured in Syria by ISIS. The family is "praying for mercy" so that their family can return home safely if this did in fact happen. The reason behind me choosing it is because of the similarities that this situation and my novel have in common. I wanted to connect this to a real life situation somewhere around the world and i feel like this is a real life replica of what happens in my book.
What are the Similarities?
The similarities in this situation and my novel are both the fact that people families have been captured by rebel groups, in this cause in the article its ISIS, and in my book its an unknown army. They both also show a state of helplessness because all the family in the article can do is hope and pray that their family returns safely. In the book at first its the same thing. They are not sure why this has happened and they don't have any idea what to do. All they did was hope that it would all come to an end. Another similarity is that both in the article and in my novel its basically the same situation, just in reality. In both, people come home to see that their families have been kidnapped by a dangerous rebel force. The only difference is that in the book, the characters rally together to make an attempt to take down the rebel force, whereas in reality that's not something that these people can do in this unfortunate turn of events.
