2. Who are the major characters in the story and what are their major traits?

1. modern times, at their home and grave yard
2. Mariana: doubtful and just Johnson: sick and cowardice
3. Mariana found that her husband’s sick hobby and decided to leave him. But Johnson didn’t want to let her go so he made her to a puppet and then suicide.
4. I thin it’s quite strange that Mariana didn’t find her husband’s sick hobby during 12 years they’re in love.
5. Johnson decided to make Mariana a puppet and it totally appeared his sickness in that moment.

1.It looks like it’s in modern times, America. It’s a small town in Texas.
2.Anderson – He is a father who loves his son but just don’t have much time to be with him. He was brave because he wanted to protect his son.
Barbara – She is a reporter who went into the town to find out what was wrong with the town. She wanted to escape the town, but finally helped Anderson to save his son.
3.The father wanted to save his son, but Jimmy had already changed into a zombie. He didn’t want the virus to spread, but he couldn’t kill his son. Finally, he burned his son and he committed suicide.
4.It’s good and well-developed. But I think you distribute the part when Anne was wondering about the weird things happened in the town into too many paragraphs.
5.They use a news report as the end of the story. That was very interesting and refreshing.
At last paragraph, they use an open ending and let the readers wander. I like it!

Story Analysis: String Puppet
1.It’s in the modern time./ It happens in the cellar of a forest.
2.Johnson: He is a shy guy with an eerie habit. Perhaps he doesn’t know how to express his feelings and emotions, as consequences, he entrust his emotions with it.
Mariana : She is a lady with an oversensitive personality.
3. The wife found out the truth and decided to leave her husband. Subsequently, her husband took her life and made her his prettiest sting puppet. Eventually, he committed suicide.
4.The ending seems unfinished.
5. I think that the best part of the story is the scene in the cellar, the moment that Mariana discovered Johnson’s bizarre collections, and the process that Johnson made his wife a string puppet. It is described alive and well.
Good job! I love the story.

1. Modern times, 22nd century, in a villa in Texas
2. Anderson, Babara, and Jimmy.
By far, I think Anderson plays the most important role.
3. Whether Anderson should killed Jimmy or not.
All of them died, but the virus wasn’t stopped.
The major problem is remained unsolved. Which it created another climax.
4. Nope. Only in the end, the writer left a space for reader to imagine…
5. The whole story is awesome! I am very impressed by the imagination and the creative idea of the writers. The struggle in Anderson’s heart and the unsolved end give readers a space to develop there own ending…It’s well organized and designed!

1.modern time, Earth and Toby planet
2.Ivan, the second prince in Toby planet and he was considerate, gentle and filial.
Edison, the first prince in Toby planet and he was rude, greedy and lustful.
3.(1) Two princes had a competition to decide who can be the new king.
-Their father, the old king, sent them to Earth to prove who can be a best choice to the new king.
(2) Edison tried his best to destroy what Ivan did, and also destroyed the relationship between Ivan and his girlfriend.
- Ivan told the truth to his girlfriend that his was the alien on Toby planet.
4.No, all the questions are solved.
5.I think the middle part of the story is the best part, they told the process very detail to what two princes did on Earth, and the story were well-developed .

The description of the cellar is great, and the “abnormality” of Johnson is really clear and vivid. Great work!!

With traditions, the first price should come to the throne though everyone consider him a greedy, inappropriate person. But there were public voice saying Ivan, the second prince, would be a better choice for throne.
To solve this controversy, Ivan and Edison decide to contend for the throne in a planet named Earth.

In the end, Ivan overcame the censuring from his brother and won the competition.

Name: Chian Yu-Juan Number:27
Story Analysis: String Puppet
1. Modern times , their home in the city and an abandoned cellar in the graveyard
2. Mariana: sensitive and distrustful
Johnson: shy, crazy, weird and irrational
3. Johnson usually went out secretly at midnight and didn’t tell his wife, Mariana, what he did and where he went. So they often quarreled with each other about it. Soon Mariana found Johnson’s incredible secret and then decided to tell the police and leave him. In the end, Johnson killed Mariana. After he made her body into his most beautiful puppet, he committed suicide.
4. The string puppets were made from real human beings but why these didn’t become rotten?
5. I like the description that Johnson’s shocked act and face when he saw Mariana. The good point is that Johnson’s favorite hobby is to make real human beings into puppet. The vivid plot is that Mariana was being made a puppet by Johnson.
