Summer Assignment part 3

The section of the book I am using is in the rising action section of the book because up to this point it was kind of slow because up to this point it was setting everything up and introducing us to the characters, then it gets to this point were they are setting up what will become the main problem of the story
 " I told the Greenfly who was in charge of us that I had been expelled. He said nothing. I don’t think they cover what to do with uncooperative pupils in their manual. Every boy in the class had his head down. I was an undesirable among the sheep. I returned to my desk. I felt stupid and didn’t know what to do, so I lifted the lid. There was a note pinned inside. It was written in big words so that I, who can’t read, could read it. YOU AND YOUR GRANDFATHER ARE IN GRAVE DANGER. TONIGHT THE OBSTRUCTORS WILL COME FOR THE VISITOR." Gardner, Sally (2013-02-12). Maggot Moon (pp. 107-108). Candlewick.
This section sets the story in motion because him getting expelled leads to something and the message is setting up the Obstructors, which are the big bad guys. Now this isn't the big thing that lights the fires of the story but at about half way through the book this was at least a spark for what will happen later on in the story. I also thought that this works as a quickly paced scene that makes you want to know what happens before and what happens after it. I also thought it worked as a build to a jump scare were it builds and builds till it finally is just like pow something really big happens and this is one of those build up steps that works better if you read what happens later on.

The context in which the section I chose was that our main character Standish got blamed for the death of a little kid but it was actually a teacher that killed the kid and after an interview with a hooded figure he gets expelled and this happens. To deal with terminology the green fly is kind of the police unit of the mother land, and the obstructors are set up as the big bad government earlier on in the story. Immediately after this happens the big conspiracy in the story starts as it goes into the crumbling fake utopia that is really a dystopia. So this is in terms of a dystopian story this is the part were our hero finds out the big bad government has something to hide and people are disappearing and minor villains are being replaced with major threats and the secret police are on the heroes case as he digs deeper into the conspiracy. That's all I can say about what happens afterwards because other wise I would be spoiling a lot.
