Essay «Inanimate Alice. Episode 3: Russia» Recently I have read a digital novel called «Inanimate Alice». «Inanimate Alice» tells the story of Alice, who travels to different countries with her parents. Episode 3 showed Alice's life in Russia. It was very interesting to read comics and at the same time hear music and different sounds as well as play games. I was reading the story very carefully, focusing on the plot.  Frankly speaking, the music was frightening and the pictures showed a dark city with quiet, frightening streets. I felt like I was watching a horror film. Most of all I liked the music and animation, because they created a certain atmosphere. If I had read this story without music, I wouldn't have experienced such emotions. For me the most difficult in reading the story was hearing loud voices in a strange language. In history, they tried to show the Russian language, but I think they failed. In my opinion, the best part of this story was the end, Alice was sitting in the plane and looking at the beautiful sky with clouds, not hiding in the closet. She felt no fear; she was with her family and felt safe. In conclusion, I'd like to give advice to future readers - read all episodes of Inanimate Alice, turn on the sound and enjoy the atmosphere of this novel.
