Weekly Reading

This week I started reading a new book called the last book in the Pendragon series called The Soldiers of Halla. In this book, there are people called travelers who can travel to different worlds other from Earth. There goal is to stop an evil traveler that want to destroy all the worlds, and rebuild them as his own. In this final book, the evil traveler, Saint Dane, has succeeded in his goal. Will the travelers be able to stop him now that he has power?

I liked this book a lot because it has all kinds of characteristics. There is suspense, action, and a little humor. Also there are many plot twists too, you don't know when a certain chain of events might just quickly change. I would recommend to read this book, but not only this book, the whole series.

Prompt A:
Hazel from The Fault In Our Stars  develops throughout the book by becoming more open with the world. By meeting Augustus and traveling around the world with him taught her not to always stay depressed that she has cancer, to live life to the fullest. She becomes more positive, and has a greater impact on other characters. She propels the plot forward by overcoming her problems, and trying to do new things. Like go meet her favorite author. An example from the book is when she first meets Augustus, she decides to have fun and go see a movie with him, instead of going home and staying alone like she normally does.

Augustus from The Fault In Our Stars develops throughout the book by coming in peace with death, and having fun with other people. He especially helps Hazel overcome her problems. He propels the plot by explaining to Hazel, the main character, by teaching her to have fun with her life. An example from the book is he takes Hazel to Switzerland to meet her favorite author.

The article is about the tragedy of cancer. Also it explains how Green wrote the book in the view of the people with cancer rather than to the people.
