So the King and Queen make …show more content…

First of all, I liked this book because of the point of view. The point of view in the book is through Mare’s eyes. She described really well the Castle of the Sun which is the main place they are in, in the book. She described all the colorful glass and elegant furniture through her eyes. Since Mare only lived in a tiny house with just the necessities she described how beautiful it was and how she’s never seen something like it before. I liked stepping into Mare’s life and seeing how it was like to live a hard life and then all the sudden become royalty and seeing her perspective on life. Secondly, I liked this book because of the message or the theme. In the book the people are split up by blood color. Silvers are rich and live life luxuriously. Well reds are laborers and servants who do back breaking work everyday. I think the theme of the book was everyone is equal. I do because, Mare is trying to show to royalty and all the silvers that the reds are no different and that they deserve to be equal. Lastly, I liked this book because of the setting. The setting was a futuristic place called Norta. I liked the setting because I like being in someplace new and imaginative. It gives me someplace different than the world we live in. Norta had new some new technology we don’t have that I enjoyed reading about. Also, I liked all the different villages and towns and how they each were different in their own

    In “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the color red symbolizes uncertainty of how life will play out. It was neither autumn nor summer, the time in which death was prominent. The garden was stained brown, and the bleeding tree arose from the ground, intimidating the atmosphere. The young boy recalled his dear little brother, Doodle they called him. “He seemed all head, with a tiny body which was red and shriveled like an old man's....

    The tomb of the Red Queen was discovered in 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico, where it had lain untouched for thirteen centuries (Discovery Channel, 2005). Her tomb is located within the complex containing the Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque (Tiesler, 2004, p. 82).

    I am glad I have read this book and I have learned so many new things. It transitions between regents in the past and present really smoothly and moves the story along nicely. The dynamics between the characters were really enjoyable as well. I liked how Colleen vaguely hints about random details we don't think much of as a reader, then specific detail turns out to link to a huge turning point in the plot. Her use of motifs is page-turning.

    When I first started reading it, I thought that it was going to be really boring because it was about history. But as I got further along in the book, I realized that it was not just a typical history book. Michael Shaara had written the book in a way so that it was easy for us to experience the American Civil War with the soldiers on the field. The different sections of the book were written so that it was from each individual’s point of view, which I found quite interesting. Michael Shaara approached this book in a different manner and I think it really did the book some justice.

    Everything about the characters in The Handmaid’s Tale from their names to their clothes is used to symbolize their roles in the book and the handmaids aperal is no exception.
