Reflection #9

The First great moment was when Roy was investigating the power outages that have been going on, he then sees a UFO which flies over his head and slightly burns his face. This UFO is followed by some police cars and this adds interest to the event. This is important because this is what gets Roy very interested in these phenomena. Roy starts after this event to become obsessed with a subliminal message that he  seems to keep receiving in his mind about a mountain. This first encounter leads to the climax of the story which occurs on the mountain.

Another great, important moment is when Jillian’s son is abducted by aliens and taken away. During this time she is also receiving the same mountain images as Roy. The kidnapping of her son is one of the reasons she and Roy end up going on the journey to the mountain. This event leads to the curiosity of the characters to find out what happened to Barry this lead them to follow all the clues to try to understand what is happening. This was also an important emotional aspect to this event that made it great you could truly understand the characters will to find the truth.

The last great moment is the return Barry and other abductees, and the taken in of Roy towards the end of the book on the mountain. This was a great moment because it brought closure to Julian because she found her son back which was one of the main reasons she went on this journey. This was also closure to the other families because they have after decades for some people got their families back. Also this moment allowed Roy to get an answer for his curiosity because he was chosen to go on the mothership.
