Entry 7

I made some good progress this week. Ive finished the story and started my last analysis on the subject.After much debate I decided to reveal the Alien, but without giving away much in terms of its origins. I think this is a good way to leave people thinking about the story and the subtext involved. I also left it slightly open ended as to the fate of our main character Trent. Although I still consider it a happy ending because Trent lives, It remains unclear whether he will indeed escape. The last line of the story is slightly comedic, as Trent wonders whether the Administration workers upstairs will have used all the escape pods. Weaving a little bit of subtle humour into the story, I believe can be a good way of supplementing the tension, the same way the "comic relief" of a movie does. Also, in this case, the end line is fitting with the Character Trent, as a simple working man. An "every" man, put in a tough situation.
