"Beyonders: Chasing the Prophecy" Summer Project 4

8/21/15
Prompt: "What ideas do you have about what is going to happen? What clues have you read to give you those ideas?"



          The place from where I left off the main character was on a quest to find a learn the archives of a powerful man that is long dead. But, there's one problem, there is a protector guarding the entrance that has never been killed even by the most powerful people in the present day. I predict that they are going to defeat him, but with difficulty. These are the clues that I have spotted that this what I have is going to happen. This is what I think will happen.

          Another prediction that I have is that the main characters are going to raise an army to overthrow the corrupted empire. But, I also have a feeling that they are leading themselves into a trap. The clues leading me to this conclusion are that the leader of this empire has managed to enter the dreams of one of the main characters and has told her that they are going to kill themselves. Another clue that I have found is that there is a ship called an interceptor that is going to intercept the path of the main character. That ship was sent by the empire.

           And finally, the last prediction that I have is that they will be able to overthrow the empire even if there are a billion paths to defeat and one to success. I think this because everything they have got themselves into they have been able to escape. Like, escape from the nations top jail. Also, defeat a dream in a sword battle. They have gotten themselves in many sticky situations but have always been able to survive. These are the clues that have been provided throughout the book and the conclusions I have.



       

"Beyonders: Chasing the Prophecy" Summer Project 3

8/20/15
Prompt: "List three problems the character faced? Which was the most life changing? Explain."


           One problem the character faced is that another character tried to murder her in cold blood. I think this problem was the most life changing. Especially, because that character was a friend of hers.
But, that character was poisoned by the antagonist. The antagonist, his name is Maldor, and the character, her name is Rachel, are enemies. Rachel is part of a rebellion against Maldor.

           Another problem Rachel faced is she has to go a major city in the book and convince them to join the rebellion. I don't really think this was the most life changing event out of all the three problems but its in the list. I think this because: one, she has had near certain-death experiences. Two: she has learned a language that allows you to manipulate objects around you. And, three: she hasn't seen her parents for a year now. That has a lot more value referring to life changing experiences.

          And finally, the last problem that Rachel faces during the book is to control her power she has gained throughout the story. I think this the second life changing experience that has happened to her in the story. I think this because during the story I have seen many problems but only chose to present these three. The reason for this action is because I thought these were the most important problems in the book. I chose the most life changing events.

Summer Reading Project 2nd Blog

8/5/15
Book: "Beyonders: Seeds of Rebellion."
Prompt: "If you could talk to the author, what questions would you ask? Why?"

          If I could ask the author a question, I would ask him why you chose to make the protagonist a person from another world. I would ask him this because I would never think to make the protagonist a random person from another world. I guess this makes the book unique in many ways. This also makes the book more interesting than a book with a character from the same world.

          Another question I would ask the author is why he chose to use a time that is aged. I would ask him this because he chose to take a person from the future and place him in the past. The times he uses are very different. The past represents Medieval Times and the future represents the 2000's.This makes the book even more unique and interesting because of the time difference.

          And finally, I would ask the author where did he base all of his ideas from. I would ask him this because I've never read a book where everything makes no sense and at the same time it makes sense. I liked the variety this book had because it mixed a lot of things.
This book always had you in suspense and I never wanted to put it down. It was a really great book and I enjoyed it.
