Okay It's January
Okay, I'm on the Richmond Center for Abridge and I got another idea for the Silverport of the novel, essentially the Climax. I mean, you know, one thing that we have to assume is what draws Rosa to Egypt, well, perhaps because she was in possession of Florence's items that she had received from this. Some of those items are, you know, like, a real, to real recording of how to say certain things in Arabic. I mean, aside from the letters themselves, what else? But, so, you know, let's just say that when she goes to Egypt and then reveals to, there must be a moment. I don't know if she actually does it, but through Horace, she is, she discovers the letters that Florence sent to Nessie in an old apartment. That Horace shows her. And this is essentially, it's possible that that's one way of doing it. That's a stretch to maintain the, you know, the foreigner in Egypt. I mean, if she really, you know, if she knows where her character is all the time, then that means that she would have to know Egypt or I got to figure out how to put those two together. Let's put that aside for now. But the other thing is, is that if she, let's say she doesn't do that, let's say that she wanders through, is Bakedia? I think so. The book market. That's another possible place where she discovers the letters that Florence sent to Nessie in an old, like, photo box. It's cardboard photo box. The letters were organized neatly, you know, like a library catalog. And maybe that's how she discovered. And the whole point is that the story has to pivot tremendously at this point. It has to reveal itself in some ways. Rosa must be subject to a new set of events that reveal to her as well as the reader. What has really been happening? And what has been happening is that either she's been imagining it, and there is no forest or something else. Go. Sorry, talking to other drivers on the road. We're trying to get off the freeway. So, I have to think about that some more. Done.
So, Rosa will find lodging in a boarding house for exchange students at the American University. What's interesting at this point is that the real Rosa will stay with horse. Now, at the point at which all this becomes clear to the reader, will Rosa then be told by her creative writing teacher. So, what happens in the end? Or perhaps, and this is the ending you want to something like that. Because the last chapter will be her sitting in his office in Egypt. Yeah. And he will have just read the last chapter. And it tells her, well, if that's the case, then consider yourself an accomplished writer. Something not great, but not terrible. It's not a failure, not a success. She completed her story. Done.
This also leads me, this also can be tied back to if Rosa actually discovers Naseem's stuff and that's what makes her want to take Arabic and history of the Middle East or Egypt and Egyptian culture all that kind of stuff in college as electives but that's what ultimately drives her to want to travel. Done.
