Theme
Don't settle for less than what you think your worth.
Ex. "Maybe you would of taken the $10,000 dollars, but I can't let the movie I love turn into something I hate."
This is important because it is telling the reader he will not give his movie to a company for not much money, and the fact that it won't stay the same he wanted it to be.
Ex. "A better company could give me a better shot at becoming famous."
This is is important because our reader is deciding weather to go to a new company for a possible better deal, or to stay with the current company.

Characterization
Here, I will find samples from my book, I Represent Sean Rosen, that will show some of my character's traits.
Ex. "Ethan was tall. I mean really tall. Taller than every teacher at out school. Also big. Shoulders big. Legs big."
This is characterization because he uses these choppy sentences to express that "Yes he is tall," and "Yes he is big."
Ex. "Brianna had long hair. Blonde hair. Baggy shirt. Baggy clothes. Everything is Baggy."
This too, expresses that she has long hair, and baggy clothes.

Author's Style
My author, Jeff Baron, does not use Figurative Language, sometimes uses fragments, and uses short and choppy sentences repeatedly.
Ex. "Dan Welch can sign the Revised Option Agreement. He has a wife and kids. His youngest is my age. He's not a minor."
This is important because Sean, our main character, has made a fake manager, so he is telling the reader his "manager" can sign an agreement that only people at a certain age can.
Ex. "And remember, this isn't even my big idea."
Sean has a huge idea that will probably change the way of the movie business. But he accidentally said he had a movie to the head of a gigantic company. So to work up to that, he has to make a movie first.

Point of View
My story is First person Perspective because the author uses words like I, Me, We, Us, etc.
A few examples are below.
Ex. "What if he asks who I am and why I want his e-mail address?"
This shows first person point of view because of the "I." It's a dead giveaway that the author is typing 1st person.
Ex. "How can you say that?! I never had a movie idea until a few weeks ago, but I thought of one in a day that you like enough to pay me 10,00 or 50,000 or a million dollers for. And what do you mean, you don't have time? The Option Agreement gives you 5 years!"
This has lots of evidence that it's first person. You, and I show up a lot.

Dialouge
The text I am reading below me is to show how the secretive the conflict can creep up on you, because in the long run, this dialogue could be horrible. It persists of a 13 year old boy trying to get a movie sold, by talking to some producers.
