Sin No More

Chapter I is a character narration giving an introduction to the story, I began the story with these characters to introduce the readers to the primary character, (Simon Tupple) and used character narration to begin the story. I used the same characters in the last chapter, (chapter 30) to give continuance to the story by giving; an interactional confrontation between these seemingly unrelated characters and the primary character. By intertwining the narratives characters with the primary story character_ I attempted to not only give the story a continuance for a future book, but also add to the suspense by suddenly integrating these characters. Chapters 2 thru 29 are devoted to the actual story as pertaining to the primary character and the central characters. As early as the second chapter I laid a foundation for the understanding to the reader as to why Simon Topple thinks and behaves in the manner in which he does. I used early childhood trauma and negative adult's beliefs to negatively affect Simon's capacity for understanding. I choose to use a religious controversy to show that human concepts are quite subject to error. Also I didn't want to use unbelievable events to entertain, but rather conceivably believable events that can and has occurred to entertain the reader. I used college students, High School students, and regular townspeople for central background and secondary characters. As Simon brutally murders people he believes to be enemies of God and society there is a profound meaning to his actions and not just random acts of violence. Although Simon could be viewed as a fanatical Psychopathic murderer, I tried to lead the reader into sympathizing with him. I made humorand wit a major part of his personality. I also exposed his vulnerability in his loneliness, and his desire to love and be loved. By the setting being in the small town of Perry, I attempted to seclude the characters and the events so as to keep the focus on the charactersBrannon, Michael E. is the author of 'Sin No More' with ISBN 9781418426057 and ISBN 1418426059.
