The Archetypes from the Bunker Diary
While reading The Bunker Diary there are multiple Archetypes. Linus (the main character) has been kidnapped by his "villain" who he refers to as the blind man. Nobody knows his real name. So far, Linus and 4 others are stuck in this bunker where there is no light. Linus was the first one to be kidnapped and then after he spent 3 days in this bunker, a 9 year old girl named Jenny gets kidnapped. Jenny becomes Linus's "sidekick". They are both in this under ground room with no food, or drinks. Jenny and Linus find ways to get through the days with each other. They are now all each other have. After a week that Linus has been there,another girl Anja gets dropped down by the lift that brings all the new people he captured down into the bunker. She's the "Damsel in Distress". She think she is going to get out soon but little does she know no one knows when they are leaving or if they are actually going to leave. Anja spends her days moping in her own personal cell while Linus and Jenny think of new items to ask the blind man for. example: food, water, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bed sheets etc.Then there is the "Gentle Giant" his name is Fred. Linus says that Fred has to be at least six foot four or taller. Fred is gentle but he is also a drug addict. Fred suffers from not having his heroin so he stays in bed for a few days just like Anja. So it's still Jenny and Linus basically because the other two feel like they are not going to be able to live under these conditions. There is also William Bird. He is just the drunk in the story so far he got dropped down from the lift and everybody comes out there room to look at him laying on the lift smelling like booze.

I liked how Linus is the main protagonist of the story and didn't like Anja's character as she is expecting to escape her situation. The description of the characters is vital in focusing in on what is occurring in the story. Archetypes are very well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jade, Anja is just a very negative character and if things do not go her way all things in the Bunker get bad for everyone.
DeleteYour book seems pretty cool. Its crazy how Linus and Jenny became close when they were in the under ground room. Also, your archetypes are cleary shown in here.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shakyra, Linus and Jenny are butt buddies and basically only have each other because everyone else is miserable.
