Blog Assessment

              Click here to see the blog where i had one of the better posts. This is a good posts because i used many connections to the theme and character traits. I also believe that with the foreshadowing will help the overall effectiveness of the blog. This blog was mainly focused around the character of Eragon and this show big chance from the beginning to the end of the blog. I also became more descriptive and focused around certain points.
              I think that next trimester I should finish a book or even two. I also want to improve my writing skills and hopefully get good grades on papers. I could improve by reading more and accepting of advice and revising the papers more. I could also be more concentrated while reading and it will help my comprehension skills.

Eragon is going twords the center of the empire in serch of the creatures who killed his uncle. The people do not like dragons running around so they have to keep Saphira outside the sight of the people in the main citys and villages they pass through. This is important to the story for she is young and small so she will hide alot better, but the bigger she grows they might fear her more, and they can get around easier.

I think that Eragon will get in trouble somewhere along the way. They obviously aren't safe because they are moving city to city and are traveling with Brom and they will surely run into a bad person somewhere i just am not sure where.

I am not sure why Eragon is not very good at communicating yet with Saphira .They talk all the time. They seem pretty good but they can read thhoughts yet.

Eragon has almost made it to the city Brom has been talking about. Eragon and Saphira have grown closer together and this creates more exciting theme. They are more powerful and they have been able to talk telepathically and Eragon can land hits on Brom. They are approching rapidly and will reach the outer wall soon. The book is dragging on and they havent fo any closer to the Raz'ac

The first is from the movie and the second is the cover.

Eragon has become a lot more outgoing throughout the book and has grown into a skillful opponent. Although he can not beat Brom in a duel with sticks, he has gotten better and better. He also has gotten his relationship with Saphira (his dragon). They can talk telepathically and practically complete each others thoughts. Eragon overall has gotten better overall as a dragon rider.

I don't understand why the old story teller is offering to take Eragon on this journey when he didn't know his uncle. I also am wondering where Eragon's parents are, they left him as a child and it doesn't even bother him. If i were him I would have asked until he gave me a definitive answer. Now since he was killed he might be thinking about his parents because now nobody but his parents know who they are. They might not even be alive. I kind of like the mystery but i hope that the story is more action packed.

I Think that Eragon is a very introverted kid, because all he does is work on the farm all day then he finds this stone and a dragon hatches. Then he is able to hide the dragon in a hallowed out log in a place near his house. He then spends all his time with the eccentric story teller Brom who is about 70 years old.I think that his shyness and social awkwardness will create problems with himself and other people. This will probably affect him throught his journey or it might even change with more experience with more people in alot of towns.

Stormbreaker

I read the book Stormbreaker and I thought it was a good book because it was exciting. I also think think that the story line is good, but the introduction was kind of thin. There was some good parts and some bad parts. The main idea of the story was preety good but it was a little shady. Who recruits a child to be a spy just because his uncle was. Then put him in the same position as his uncle died in. The parts of the book that kept me going was when he was trapped or being chased by people.

Eragon

The book that I am reading is Eragon, and I am not far into it. I am on page 28. I think that the Shiny "rock" he found in the forest will be a dragon egg and the cover has a big blue dragon on it. This also happenes to be the same color of the smooth rock. I think there will be a big conflict soon because the rock is starting to move around little by little. I also know from other books that stories that long have many conflicts ranging in severity throughout the story so somethings about to happen. I dont know why Eragon didn't realize it was "alive" when he heard and saw it shake his shelfs. I also dont know how he can have buissness as usual without wanting to sell the rock or perhaps see whats inside. He seems like the opposite of a merchant. He cares about the rock and wouldent sell it even though someone would buy it for enough cash to completely renevate his uncles house. He seems like modern day collecters, who are usually sentimental and will keep items for the sheer novelty, such as a big shiny blue rock. I would kind of be like him because if the rock turns out to be something better, and not sell it for less than its worth.
