If you were reading a book?

Would you find it to be too much drama if the book is about a family who is finding their feet again after a father dies in a housefire, they lose their home, etc. and then later in the book, the daughter faces another fire and her friend dies in it? Does that sound too unrealistic?

If you were reading a book?
I wouldn't read it because I would cry through the whole thing. I think it would be believable to some people, though.
Reply:OK please tell me you did not read or write that book because that's just complete wack! Oh I dont think it's 2 much drama! no just kidding it totally is![%26lt;:}
Reply:nothing is unrealistic when writing a book, the whole point is how the facts are given by the author. i would emphasize on karma, on "meant to be" facts in the daughter's life. Another tip:make the daughter a little bit more confident and arrogant after the family disaster, a person that believes that can survive under any circumstances and disregards fate. That will make your book look like an ancient Greek tragedy where the heroin is being punished for being disrespectful and has to face the "mhni" (= anger)of the gods. And if this works well for your book, remember to mention me!!!! I'd be flattered!!!!
Reply:i think it would be real, i would read it:)
Reply:It does but it can Happen
Reply:Yes. Two fires leading to death is one fire too many.
Reply:i think i already read it.





Did the dog in the story have a pet frog who roade on his back and sang rhytem and blues?
Reply:no as long as you do it artfully
Reply:well it would kinda be 2 depressing 4 me 2 read..i mean if only the dad died but then the best friend too!that would just mak eme depressed.
Reply:It sounds a bit much. There's a lot of tragedy to overcome. And why does it have to be fire the second time? Any type of double-loss would be difficult to overcome, but fire, twice in a lifetime? Horrific.
Reply:It is realistic. Yet confusing, it's realistic fiction.
Reply:its pretty real. although the chances of that happening is low.





but then again if you go to developing countries you'd see people have that same situation every year. then again theyre pool illegal settlers, and probably not what's in the book.
Reply:For me it would be unrealistic and I wouldn't read it b/c it's kind of lyk the same event in the beginning and end and it's sooo sad.
Reply:That doesn't seem too unrealistic- just bad coincidence.
Reply:yes kinda, i think its too much disaster in that book. i like a book where there one complication, then little ones, but not too huge problems and on top of that, their kind of the same thing..fire and fire and death and death
Reply:NO IN FACT I WOULD FIND IT VERY FASCINATING many writers these days don't follow their veiw on things, they just write to impress readers but duh what is the point of writing a book (well if you are) without expressing the thought that was burning in you when you started writing it.If your a writer (of which i am ) well i have not published anything but one day i will,plizzzzz contact me i am eager to share my ideas.
Reply:The first fire where the family dies is great. (As a setting anyway.) Maybe after the girl is recovering while staying at her friend's house, her friend goes out with her boyfriend (romance attracts readers) and they never return. You can say they were in a car accident. Try to be creative, do it from your heart.
Reply:It's not too unrealistic. Anything really can happen in life. That person (real or not) can just have a bad luck streak. But I supose depending on your personal taste it can go both ways.
Reply:yah. the chances of that are like 1 to 999999.


i hate books like that.
Reply:Two fires in one book would be kind of a lot, unless you could establish that there was an arsonist in the neighborhood. Maybe someone she knows which is why it happened twice. In the town where I live, we had a rash of fires once. I woke up one morning to find my garbage out front burning. A friend of mine had their car filled with newspapers and burned. Turned out, it was a fireman doing it. He would always be the first on the scene and be claimed a hero. Now he is somebody's girlfriend in jail. Otherwise, I would have the friend die another way. Mention me in the book too lol... Pax - C
Reply:Not too unrealistic if it's the daughter setting the fires (dual personality?). Good luck.
