Martin and Rose..... Relationship?

[WildDoogyPlumm]

I have to be able to recognize things before they occur.

Does that come in handy when predicting what will happen in a book?

I don't know if you meant that as serious or you're trying to be sarcastic with me.   Redwall is predictable so I generally know what happens next.  Most mystery novels I read I try to figure out "who done it' before I get to the end...I'm not always right with other authors.  Remember, novels are based on human characteristics and personalities, but they are text, and text doesn't express emotion that well on its own.

I was serious!  There are surprise deaths and stuff like that in Redwall, are you able to predict that?

[Lutra]

No....read what I wrote again...I don't have a crystal ball.   I don't see the surprise deaths.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Yep, I totally didn't see Rose's death coming. I was an impressionable 10 year old when I read that.

after I read where the red fern grows, I was almost done with TLoL. When Luke died, I still was sad  but not as sad as Old Dan and Little Ann

[Vilu Daskar]

I think Martin loved Rose.

Is there any doubt on this subject? Jacques is quite clear in the book. As to his method of portraying it, I like it better than any other books I have come across. Understatement exaggerates, and you don't have to deal with all the awkward details. And I clearly prefer the books to the show. The show is absolutely horrible.
