“As Long as the Rivers Flow” 120-180
Currently in my novel Martha has just moved back to the reserve from Toronto after the death of her mother. Just before she left she finally found her long lost son Spider, who was a homeless alcoholic. She brought him back to the reserve to unit their family. Meeting Raven for the first time was difficult for the both of them since Martha had been absent from her life for the first 12 years. Their house was full of awkward tensions and very little communication. However they were doing well because of Martha’s job as the band offices bookkeeper. The current problem is that Spider has just run away after Raven chased him out of the house with a rifle at hand because it punched Martha in the face while drunk. I think that this conflict will soon be resolved because Spider will find himself while living alone, without alcohol. I think that by overcoming his alcoholism his relationships between Martha and Raven will drastically improve. I feel that this will also give Raven and Martha a time to grow closer to one another. By the end of the story I think Martha will have explained why she left Raven so many years ago and Raven will learn to forgive her. As for the theme; one's past can drastically affect their future outcome, is still an ongoing issue to this point in the novel. I think that it will continue to develop but show how it is possible to get better and overcome the past. There is always hope. Lastly I think that the novel will end with Martha, Raven and Spider all getting along happily living on the reserve together. Martha will be working, Raven in school and Spider will have figured himself out. In the end the two children will forgive Martha for being absent throughout their life.
