And Then There Were None---Theme

In this book the theme is "even clever crimes are punished". No mater how canny a murderer may be somewhere sometime someone will bring the justice that was not brought in the house of justice. All the ten characters in the book committed a murderer of some kind, but was never was given the justice that they deserved. That was why they were invited to the island so that they can finally have the sentence that they deserved..... The death sentence.

And Then There Were None---Conflict

This book certainly has it's share of conflict not only is there person v.s person, but there is also person v.s self. Although that does not sound like allot, at least ten different people were conflicted with one or the other but mostly both. It all started out when the guest of the unknown host were eating. A record player started up and said what each and everyone was suspected of murder. Then named off the names of the victims and suspected murderers. After the recording finished and the ten are having a little discussion about the recording Anthony Martston dies, causing everyone to question who they are standing next to, also the crimes that they themselves have committed.


And Then There Were None---Setting

In the book And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie the setting takes place in a mansion on a small island call Indian Island;
supposedly owned by a famous movie star. If you were a character in this book you would have believed that you were going to paradise. The mansion had a perfect view of the ocean,
scrumptious food, and conferable rooms to sleep in. During the story there was a storm and it just thickened the suspense of the plot line.

Conflict! >_<

Currently in the Wizard Heir, Jack and his friends, Will and Fitch, has just discovered a magical sword that was berried behind the gravestone of one of Jack's great, great grandma. When Jack picked up the sword two men appeared, one whose name is Sam Hadley, a person they met in a library and offered help in finding the grave site. The other man is a wizard, although the book does not state his name, I believe he is the same person that was following him before. I state this because there at the grave site Jack fights a short fight with the wizard, ending up with him and his friends hiding in a near by church. That is where I stand in this on growing conflict, but let's hope Sam doesn't come after him, because magic doesn't work in churches...

The Warrior Heir


For my quarter book project I decided to choose The Warrior Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima. I chose this book because of the summery on the back which talks about a seven-teen year-old boy named Jack, who lives in a small Ohio town of Trinity. One day he forgets to take his medicine, and suddenly he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident then ever before. That's when he finds out that he is apart Weirlind; an underground society of magical people who live among us. At their helm sits the feuding houses of the Red Roes and White Rose, whose power is determined by playing the Game; a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. As if this wasn't enough, Jack also finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind, but he's one of the last of the warriors, and both houses are scouting for a player. My ideas of this book are that Jack will ether escape or win against the Red Rose or White Rose, and in doing that helps out the whole Weirlind society. Expectations of this book are that a hope this author has a nice flow and an interesting way of describing stuff.

The Value of Reading

Reading is an accentual to all, it not only widens your vocabulary but also gives you a place to come to when the road is rough. Although some might say reading is a waist of time, I believe that reading, although boring to some is a interesting and enchanting activity. To all that don't think that reading is an enjoyable experience, when the right book comes along you too will become a firm believer that there is a book out there for everyone. Even though there many just read fiction, you can learn allot from a non-fiction book. Often times when looking up something for a school project, I get lost in all the information.
