Fear (Gone #5)- Characters

1.       Similar to your narrative, choose a moment from your book that epitomizes the personality of the main character.  Describe the scene, and explain what it says about your character.

" Sam nodded, distracted. He was seeing a chess board in his mind. Most of the pieces he might have played, the powers that might have helped, his bishops and knights and rooks, were all down or missing. Dekka, Brianna, Jack, Albert, possibly Caine, all down or missing. His steady knight, Edilio, would have to watch over the lake. Which left Sam with pawns." 
In this scene, Sanjit is talking to Sam about what is going on in Perdido Beach (Sam left Perdido Beach in the book before this one). Sanjit tells Sam that Albert left, Caine's hands are in cement so he can't use his powers, how Penny tried to take over, and how Lana put Quinn in charge. After hearing this Sam starts thinking about his people, and who has the power to take down Drake. He realizes that his powerful people are hurt or missing and he has a very slim chance of finding Drake and destroying him without his powerful people by his side. This demonstrates that Sam likes to have a plan , and is in charge of a lot of people.

This clip from The Hunger Games shows that you always need a plan and that there is a leader and when you try to take over the power it doesn't work unless you have all the people and resources you need.  This relates to the quote because power always needs to be organized and it is even more important during bad times. This is evident in both the clip and the quote.
