Gemma's After thoughts

Authors Note: I am doing my predicting piece, I am telling it from the main character, Gemma's perspective.

I almost wish that now days my kidnaper, Ty was still alive so I could prove to him that he didn’t change me at all.  That I love a different man than him and he treats me right and that I got to raise my beautiful daughter Anna.

I will never forget walking into Anna's bedroom on her 15th birthday, and warning her that there are crazy people in this world.  The main topic I told her about was to stick with someone at all times, I mentioned my tragic story and gave her the idea that it can happen to anyone.  I hope she is careful and if this  would ever happen to her, to keep your head holding strong and give a fight.

Gemma

Authors note: I wrote an character development piece on the main character, Gemma from stolen.

In the story Stolen, the main character, Gemma, is a very outgoing and a naughty girl.  For example, Gemma would always get drunk in the park by her house, because “its fun” she quotes. Also In this story she has gone from an outgoing girl, to a shy girl, ever since the "incident" happened.  She was at an airport just like a regular 16 teen year old girl going on a family vacation. When suddenly this psycho man drugs and kidnaps her, his name is Ty.  Little did she know where she was at, she was in an desert. Her mood changed from being frightened to confused.  Ty is forcing her to love him, and many more reasons. This shows how she has changed and influenced Ty to release her, and how she is going to start fending for herself and learn to stand up for herself.   

So far I must agree with the author Lucy Christopher, and her thoughts on how much Gemma is changing and adapting to nature. For example, When a large ant crawls over her pinky finger, she didn't bother to brush it away, she thinks, “Strange: a couple of weeks before I would've stomped on it.” That shows the impact of Gemma appreciating nature and God’s creations.

Therefore, Ty needs to be a better person, what I mean by that is he needs to act more like hes going to take care of Gemma, not sexually assault her.  But he doesn’t, he makes her take care of him. This makes Gemma feel almost suicidal and a maid.  All Ty will pronounce to her is “I need love, you're the person to love me and in return I will love you back”, But there’s one other problem, Gemma refuses to take care of Ty, witch I don’t blame her because Ty is a psycho.  Gemma just wants is to escape from this dungeon of lies, therefore Gemma influences Ty to let her on her own.  Of course it’s not as easy as she thinks it is, shes going to have to accept the fact that her attitude isn’t going to get her far in life.  She needs to push herself towards her goals, not take shortcuts out.

As Gemma approaches a whole new world of opportunities, she realizes that her thoughts were a dream and that reality is a nightmare.  Gemma proves to Ty that she is never going to ever love, care, or be pleasant to him, therefore he lets her on the loose.  Gemma had no idea how hard life was in the desert without Ty’s help, so she gave up and laid on the rough burning sand.  In the meantime Ty finds her covered in sand pellets and burned from the sun rays, Gemma learns to never escape again.

A lot of reasons caused Gemma to end up finding who her inner self is.  She has experienced changes from bad girl to good girl, frightened to confident, and weak to strong.  All of these changes have made Gemma into an mature young lady, I think that gemma has become a girl with a high potential in life.
