Book 1 Project: Advertisment


If you live in a city, or maybe a small town you see lost dog or dogs for sale posters quiet often. But you don’t see a book poster do you? Well that’s exactly this. As an avid reader I am always looking to get my hands on new material. But sometimes I find that hard. I wish that these book posters were put up around our town. It would make finding a book a lot easier. But that’s not what I’m going to tell you about. What makes this connect with the dog poster is this book is about a dog, who tells us his life from his point of view. And boy does he have some good points on life, that we could all learn from. I want to give you an example of a book poster or advertisement. Maybe it will inspire you to make your own, or read the book.

Dying. Many people fear death. But Enzo is ready. He is ready to come back as a man. He feels prepared. You’re probably who Enzo is, or should I say what Enzo is. Enzo is dog. He is old and has hip dysplasia. Pretty common in dogs that are older. Enzo is on the verge of death, but before he parts we are lucky enough to hear his story. When Enzo was a puppy, He was bought by a guy named Denny. Denny lives in Seattle and adopted Enzo from a small house in east Washington. Denny loved Enzo with his whole heart. As Enzo and Denny bond and get to know each other, Enzo learns Denny is a fascination with racing and is quiet good at it. But Denny hasn’t had the chance to make it big. When he isn’t trying to get into the racing industry as a star, he works at the local BMW shop. This is enough to support them. Soon a girl named Eve comes into their lives. As Denny and Eve grow together, they have a child named Zoe. But Enzo can sense there is something is wrong with Eve long before everyone else knows. Enzo can’t say anything though because he is a dog and we all know dogs can’t talk. He always had this feeling about Eve and was kind of stand offish, but decides to befriend her for his and Denny’s sake. “I tried not to act off-putting because I knew how infatuated Denny was with her. But I admit I was less than embracing of her presence.” As Denny starts to get more chances I the racing business, Eve starts to experience severe headaches and migraines. Sometimes they are so bad that Eve goes to her parents for the day while Denny is at work because her headaches get so bad. One day, her headaches are so bad that she left Enzo without food and water for about 2 days. When Denny came home to find out, He was furious. “And quickly she gathered some things while I watched… and –bang– the door slammed shut and –snick, snick –the deadbolt was thrown and they were gone.”

            As Eve, Denny, Zoe and Enzo continue their life together, Eves “condition” gets worse. Now I don’t want to ruin this book for you because my great advertisement will make you want to read it, right? Well anyway I don’t want to tell you what’s wrong with Eve. During the book, I had a good idea to what was wrong with Eve. But it gets much worse and after Eve’s condition gets worse, Denny’s life takes a turn for the worst. We know he likes to race and doesn’t have much luck with winning, and then he gets accused of committing a crime he didn’t commit which prevents him from doing a lot of stuff that could help him. “We have a warrant for his arrest,” one of the policemen said. But soon Denny’s luck changes, but for the better this time. He gets a huge offer that will help with his racing career and finical problems. Unfortunately at the end Enzo dies but, there’s a little surprise in the epilogue that made the story just a little bit more touching than it already was.

  1. Helpful overview of the plot details and what Enzo's story entails. I think the dog/book poster is a fun idea. I'd like to hear you describe what might be on one or show us an example. As you write about the story you steer away from this a little. Good job of explaining the family's conflicts. I wonder if some of the posters could also be racing-themed to reach that audience, too.
