Independent Reading
I am reading the book Eragon, by Chris Paolini. I am only on chapter 1, but I can probably make a few good predictions. I predict that the mysterious stone that Eragon found in the Spine will hatch to be a dragon, because of the dragon on the cover. I also predict that the Shade in the prelude will come to find the egg and try to kill Eragon. I am wondering why Sloan is so afraid of the Spine. Maybe a family member died in it or something? One text to world connection I can make is that Eragon lives in a poor family, on a farm, trying to gather enough food for the winter. This relates to the world because there are lots of financially struggling people in the world, who struggle to get by not just in the winter, but all the time. A text to text connection is in the series Harry Potter, Harry is not a very fortunate person in the beginning because his parents are dead. In the series I am reading now, Eragon's parents are dead. One text to self connection I have is both Roran and I have younger brothers who we like to mess with.

Nice post. You could add just a bit more into why you think a certain prediction will happen. What will lead up to the event happening and how does this effect the plot?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kasey, but this paragraph is also really good at explaining your view on what the book is about. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like the prediction and how you put two and two together to make it. What will happen with Eragon and his hatched dragon.
