Water Walker - Text to World

         Eden is hurt/confused with no way out. Water Walker by Ted Dekker has the tables turning when you least expect it. Zeke (someone living with them) broke Edens leg and locked her in a closet. Her mom is scared and didn't want any of this to happen. Eden, as she is sleeping meets the "Outlaw" a man who tells her she is a water walker, and she needs to have no fear. Confused on what happened in her dream and in real life, she realizes her leg was healed. All she needs to do is unlock her potential and end the plans of Zeke.
     This reminds me of a time in history when a girl was kidnapped for years. She got tired of it and fought back from her kidnapper and was able to escape. This is similar to Water Walker because Eden and her mother overthrow Zeke and get the cops to find them. Also, this reminds me of the boy who claimed he saw heaven and came back. Eden does this in her dream and comes back to be able to walk on water.
     I wish that Eden and her mother stay together after all of this trouble. I was surprised to see the Outlaw in her dream, and for her dream to be real. If I was Eden I would just walk out of the entire place due to all of the confusion.

Water Walker - Ted Dekker

      The book about mystery and confusion, Water Walker, by Ted Dekker, is a story about a girl learning about her past and who she is. Last time she got taken by her real father and had the F.B.I. searching for her. The police force had Alice/Eden slip through their fingers when they escaped by a few minutes to never be seen again. Alice/Eden has met her biological mother who is crazy about her being pure. Her feet cannot touch the ground, she needs to be baptized regularly, and does plenty of rituals. It's been five years and she's been going through this.

     The scene when the F.B.I. bust into the house they were in minutes ago, reminds me of a similar scene in Hacker where the F.B.I. breaks in to arrest the hacker. The character from hacker reminds me of Alice/Eden because they both don't fit in because they both have something special that no one else has.

     If I were Alice/Eden at this point I would've done anything I could to escape rather than sit there and let it just happen for no reason. I observed Alice/Eden accepted that she was being taken and decided to just see how things unfold. I'm not sure if she has any chance of escaping but the book IS called Water Walker.

Text To Self - Water Walker

   Have you ever thought what it would be like to not remember anything from 6 months ago? Water Walker by Tedd Dekker, is a story about a young girl named Alice who can't remember anything from 6 months ago. Lost in her thoughts almost anything could be logical at this point. She went to check the door and this odd man told her he was her father. The man went away after the mother came to check the door. Alice thinking about what has just happened, was just even more lost into her deep, deep thoughts.
     This character reminds me of someone I know because they always forget what they are thinking,, but not quite as extreme as Alice. This character also reminds me of me, because I think a lot to myself when I'm bored or just need to go over something in my head. Lastly a situation of this reminds  reminds me of a situation in my life. I was little and a stranger told me he was my uncle or something along those lines and I was flat out confused. Luckily, my teacher got him to go away and I wasn't taken by my "uncle".
     I was surprised how casually Alice brushed off a man just told her that he was her father and then just left. I can't believe how Alice just ignored her mom when she was trying to discuss the situation with her. Lastly, I noticed Alice might not be totally normal if she turns the other cheek to things people wouldn't, and she can't remember her past at all.
