Quick comprehension check
“According to the video, Will follows three rules. How do these rules, and Will's perspective on them, shape his initial actions after Sean's death? The video mentions that Will encounters different ghosts on each floor of the elevator. How might the perspectives of these ghosts challenge or reinforce Will's motivation for revenge? The video emphasizes that the reader must "ponder the questions that Williams ghosts personally raise for you." Based on the video, what is one way a character's perspective, other than Will's, contributes to the central conflict of the story?”
