Analyzing A Girl.

In my flat world story, I wrote about a girl that goes on an amusment park ride and the feelings she is experiencing. The only link it has to a family story is the fact that her mother is on the ride with her. So the only option of analyzing a character in my story is the girl.

The girl goes through a series of emotions through the ride. There is the sense of fear when she sees what she is going to face once she steps into the raft that would take her onto the ride. Then there is a calming sense as the girl drifts into a sense of relaxation and the feeling of everything will go away if you don't think about it. She is lured into this state by the persuation of her own mind and the minds of her best friend and her mother. But in the end, her own mind is the driving force behind her emotional state. It is the same mind that triggers her out of this self induced state and unto a panic mode state of thinking.

Once the girl realizes what she got into, she just sentenced herself to one of her phobias, of heights and getting wet. After she gets onto the ride, she realizes that no matter what, she can't do anything to stop or prevent herself from riding the rest of the ride out, and although she tenses up when the highlight of her phobia approachs, the end of the ride and the big fall. When the moment actually happens, there is a sense of accomplishment and freedom as she feels she is freefalling and then the feeling ends as she crashes into the water.

So in the beginning the girl doesn't know what she wants, and resists a risktaking moment, and in the end she's glad she took the risk and experienced something new and foreign.
