week 10

this week i continued to read Brisingr. Eragon was going to marry Roran and Katrina, but than a suprise attack by the Empire delayed this. Eragon and Saphira fought Eragons "brother" and his dragon. They did not defeat him but proved that Eragons brother Murtagh was not as powerful as everyone thought he was. When Murtagh realised this, he retreated back to the Empire. While Eragon was fighting Murtagh, the Varden's army fought some of the soldiers of the Empire. Somehow Galborax had put a spell on them that kept them from feeling pain, which ment that they would not stop fighting until they were beheaded. Eventually the Varden realised this and destroyed them but after a great loss to their army. Later that day Roran and Katrina insisted that they needed to be maried htat day because they didnt know when the Emprie was going to attack again. After the marriage Eragon met with some of the soldiers that were wounded and could not be healed. While visiting them, Eragon met a man who had been having visions of a light, and somehow this applied to Eragon. I didnt really understand how but it did. It had something to do with 12 stars around his waist and another star, the brightest one, on his finger. His brother, however, was shining but the shining was not coming from him, but from "others." Arya the smartest elf there is currently trying to figure out who these "others" are. Nasuada, the leader of the Varden, told Eragon that he had to go to the dwarfs land, and insist that they pick a ruler soon, and try to sway the vote so that the ruler would favor what the Varden is doing, and decide to support them. Saphira is going to stay with the Varden in attempts to trick Galborax so that he will not attack. The Varden will split into two and go destroy the last of the two cities that are under the Empires control that the Varden has already passed. After the dwarfs pick a new ruler, Saphira will join Eragon, and after giving them their honor back somehow, Eragon and Saphira will go visit the elves, and try to learn a little more from the great teachers of the Elves.

week 9

This week i kept reading Brisingr. Sense Eragon got back to camp, hes had to have conversations about why he decided to stay back, and he had to great a bunch of people that wanted to talk to him because he was a hero. He was given a suprise party were Roran, Eragons cousin, asked him to marry Roran and Katrina next month. Eragon asked why so soon and found out that Katrina is pregnant, so they have to have a quick marriage before everyone figures it out. Eragon before had blessed a girl named Elva, but it ended up being a curse, and she felt everyones pain and felt like she had to help them get rid of there pain. If she did not help them she had physical pain. Eragon promised to relieve Elva of this pain, so when he attempted to, he only got rid of the feeling like she had to help them, and the physical pain that she felt. She told Eragon not to fix anything else because she wanted to be able to feel others pain. She basically said she was going to use her powers in whatever way she wanted to, even if that was in an evil manner.



I'm going to appy this book so far to Religion class because Brisingr has alot to do with good verses evil and we are reminded in Religion the daily battle of good verses evil between our new man and our old adam. Eragon could be compared to the the New Man, and Galborax could be compared to the old adam because even though Glaborax seems to have the upper hand, Eragon can always seem to defeat him with the help of his dragon Saphira.

together with a song...

This week i finished the Last Days of Summer A Novel, by Steve Kluger. Charlie decided that he needed to join the army because of pearl harbor. Joey's friend was able to get out of the concentration camp because Charlie personally went to President Rosevelt and told him that this family was in a concentration camp and shouldnt be. Than Joey's friend played baseball for a little leage team, and when Charlie told the press that he was going to be a star one day, they had to keep him on the team, even though he was horrible at baseball. Joey and Charlie continued to write back and forth. They came up with a way so that Charlie and Stukes could tell Joey where they were going to be stationed by in the second sentence using the first letters of all the words to make the name of it. Once they got moved out oversee's, Charlie sent Joey a letter saying that they wernt going to let him actually fight in combat because he was a big star and didnt want him to die, so they made him do the type writing job. One day Stuke, Charlies best friend, and the other soldiers in his group were under attack and called for backup, but the army decided that it was to much of a risk to go save them. When Charlie heard that, he stole a boat and went to save them himself. When he got there, he let everyone get back onto the boat before him, and at the last second was shot dead. Everyone else was saved. The book ends with Joey explaining that all of the leters before this he was showing his son Chucky. He ended up marrying his gradeschool love intrest rachel, that Charlie helped him to get.





I then started reading Brisinger by Christopher Paolini, the third book in the Eragon Series. So far Eragon has envaded Galborax's castle, helped get Rorans finace, Katrina, back, killed all of the Ra'zac, killed Katrina's father who betrayed everyone and told Galborax where everything was and where Eragon was hiding. He got away without getting to badly injured, and is now back in the Varden and is being treated like a hero like usual.



If i had to compare my reading this week to a song i would compare it to Here comes goodbye by Rascal Flatts. This song would compare with The Last Days of Summer, because it was kindof like the whole book was Joey's last goodbye to Charlie.
