14.Why do you think the author wrote this story? Where did he or she get the idea or the characters? What message do you think that the author is trying to share?


I think the author wrote this story because he/she wanted us to see how hard other teens lives are. The author might have gotten his ideas for the half-men from all of the animals that are very deadly in a different sort of way. The author probably got Nailer from another book or from a movie. The message that I think the author is trying to say is if YOU want something then chase after it.
