Reading Response #4 Due for Wednesday    Publishers estimate that most readers decide whether to purchase a book in less than twenty seconds. How a story begins is one of the most important elements of the story. It is the authors opportunity to convince you that this is a book you want to finish. In this response you are going to reflect on the choices the author made when beginning the story.        What incident or conflict does the author use to begin this story? (be sure to quote directly from your book)Why do you think they chose this beginning?      Is there another beginning they could have chosen that would have been better? Explain why or why not.
