TASK IV. Analysing a text

Read the next text. After reading you should write a small composition ( 1oo - 150 words ) in which you have to talk about:
i)The author of the text
ii)The main idea
iii)Search in the web, or if you have read about, tell the plot of the book this piece of text is from.
You should complete the 3 task, and use your own words as far as possible, if you don't, and copy from the text you will score zero.
"I'd had more than my fair share of near death experiences, it wasn't something you ever really got used to.
It seemed oddly inevitable, though, facing death again. Like I really was marked for disaster. I'd escaped time and time again, but it kept coming back for me.
Still, this time was so different from the others.
You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers - the monsters, the enemies.
When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it?
If it was someone you truly loved?"
