Exposition

This book had an extremely long exposition. At some points it almost seemed as if the author was trying to tease his readers-  things would pick up and get exciting, then calm back down. At some points I was wondering how the author was going to fit the rising action, climax, and resolution in the few pages left in the book. However, after reading the story I realized that the author was setting up the story and giving the readers a lot of detail to make the climax even better. Still, it seemed like the exposition dragged on a bit too long. At some points in the story, I wondered if even the author knew where the story was going. Jose and Ray did a lot of things together, mostly stealing. Maybe the author was trying to show how Ray began experiencing guilt for his actions. A lot was learned about the relationship between Jose and Ray, and how close they are. They did everything together and seemed like they could be brothers.  Overall, I thought the book had a decent exposition, but it was just too long.

Ten Mile River is a very popular place for Boy Scout camps in New York. Above is a picture of it.
