A ricochet novel is a type of novel that often has a plot which bounces or 'ricochets' between different characters, storylines, or time periods. It can be quite complex as the narrative threads keep intersecting and diverging in unexpected ways.
When writing a ricochet novel, it's important to plan out the different arcs of your story. Decide which characters will be central and which will be more on the periphery. Begin with one storyline and then, at key moments, shift to another. You can use devices like flashbacks or sudden changes in perspective. For instance, you could start with a character in a modern - day city and then ricochet to a different character in a historical setting. Keep the reader guessing until the end when all the pieces come together.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it. But generally, a novel could be about various things like relationships, a character's journey, or a particular event.
A ricochet bullet was a type of ammunition that could bounce up in the air and fall quickly in some military and combat scenarios. This kind of weapon ammunition could jump over the surface of the enemy's position or obstacles and land far away from the target after being fired. A ricochet bullet was usually used when shooting with high accuracy or when it was necessary to avoid direct contact with an enemy target.
The ricochet bomb was widely used throughout history, especially during the First and Second World Wars. However, ricochet bullets required high-energy ammunition to manufacture and store, and they required specialized training and skills to use. Therefore, their use in modern warfare had gradually decreased.
Back in your problematic novel, it's unlikely that the pig trotters killed the enemy with a ricochet. The ricochet was a weapon that required professional skills and training to use. The ricochet required precise control of the trajectory to ensure that the impact point was near the target. At the same time, the energy and flight speed of the ammunition needed to be taken into account to ensure that the ricochet could complete the process of bouncing up and falling in the air and finally hit the target. In the novel, if the pig's foot could master the skill of ricochet and accurately control the trajectory, he could use ricochet to kill the enemy. However, in reality, ricochet was a weapon that required specialized training and skills to use. The risk of using ricochet was very high, and it was not recommended for ordinary people to try it.
A ricochet is a weapon that uses the principle of bouncing power to attack. It is usually used to shoot enemy soldiers or obstacles. In the novel, it is possible for the pig's foot to kill the enemy with a ricochet, but this requires fictional and exaggerated methods because ricochet is not a real weapon, it only exists in novels. In reality, ricochet could only exist as a fantasy weapon in novels.
Perhaps it's a story about a community. There could have been a true event that affected the community negatively, like a natural disaster or an economic crisis. And then, through the collective efforts of the people in the community, they managed to 'ricochet' or rebound, building themselves back up in a positive way. This could involve rebuilding infrastructure, restoring relationships, and regaining a sense of hope and prosperity.
One example could be a true story of a war veteran. After coming back from war, the veteran might have faced many challenges such as post - traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But then, through therapy, support from family and friends, and their own determination, they managed to 'ricochet' and start a new life. They could have started a business, got involved in community work to help other veterans, which would be a great example of bouncing back in real life.
