Commentary On Tallstar's Revenge By Erin Hunter

The Emperor of Nihon-Ja was really special to me,because it was more about Horace and how he bonds with the Emperor of Nihon-Ja and the emperor teaches him the ways of Nihon-Ja. Every book in the Ranger's apprentice series is extremely good and it is my new favorite series of all time. It as the first time Horace went on a military mission alone. This is the first book that Evanlyn openly admitted that she loves Horace and how the happy couple finally are gonna get married, I hope. A lot of things were a first in this

The book I read is called Silent Warrior. It's a biography about the famous marine sniper, Carlos Hathcock. The book takes you from his death bed to the death field in Vietnam, where he earner his title as the best of the best. His 93 confirmed kills and hundreds more unaccounted made him the number one sniper in our history. The book brought out the best of the man that everyone knew as Gunny Hathcock.

Do two wrongs ever make a right? Or as Zits, the main character of the novel Flight contemplates, “Is revenge a circle inside a circle inside a circle?” (77). In Flight, written by Sherman Alexie, the main character, a troubled Native American teenager named Zits travels through time and different bodies while learning about revenge, trauma, violence, forgiveness, family, and betrayal. All of these things pertain directly to Zits, and he uses these lessons to understand his life better. A scene in the middle of the novel where Zits is in the body of a young boy at the Battle of the Little Bighorn reveals to the reader (and Zits) one of the things that had the biggest effect on Zits-revenge. Zits and the reader see in this scene how revenge

In Jared Diamond’s New Yorker essay “Vengeance is Ours”, he makes the claim that vengeance is universal and that people in the developed world have lost the satisfaction when we let our disputes be handled by state government. Through two narratives, Diamond shows an example of the satisfaction that comes through personal vengeance, and as well as the dismay that can result from not taking personal vengeance. The story that Jared Diamond introduces about Daniel is about his uncle, who was assassinated from a member of the other Ombal tribe, which puts him deep in a feeling of revenge against the tribe. Indeed, Daniel is obliged to avenge his uncleś death. After a few years and many other deaths, Daniel does manage to get his revenge when his

Isabels short story, “An Act of Vengeance” is an example of the power she depicts towards women along with her foundation, “The Isabel Allende Foundation” which she states, “Empowers women and girls worldwide”. In her text, in which a young teen’s father is killed by the same man who raped her and took away dignity and reason for living building up hate towards him. The irony is as Allende states, “She searched her heart for the hatred she had cultivated throughout those thirty years, but she was incapable of finding...Then she understood with horror that by thinking about him every moment, and savoring his punishment in advance, her feelings had become reversed and she had fallen in love with him”(Allende#1). The hatred and punishment she wanted to give him for what he did turned into an unstoppable love. Isabel Allende is a strong feminist and it can be seen throughout her writing, reason for this is her personal experiences, causing it to change the way she refers when writing about the opposite sex.

The cover of this book caught my eye and I wondered what it was. When I saw it I thought to myself and I said I would give this book a chance. I flipped the book over and I started reading a paragraph about the book. It had a lot of details and it was describing the characters very well. A good book for me is one with a

I really liked the book Torn because I felt like I could relate not just to one character but to almost all of the characters. I think that the author did a very good job of creating

I recommend “Cryer’s Cross” to my best friend because it is an amazing book. When I first read the book I thought I wouldn’t like it. But now I am in love with the book. The characters really engage me in the book and I think my friend would fall in love with the characters like I did. You can feel all the emotion in the book and I think that is what engaged me the most. You can feel how the character feels and it makes you feel connected to the characters. One of the quotes from the book is “When it is over, We breath and ache like old oak, like peeling birch. One of our lost souls set free. We move, a chess piece in the dark room, cast-iron legs a centimeter at a time, crying out in silent carved graffiti. Calling to our next victim, Our

Red Cloud’s Revenge is a historical novel about the grim recollection of detailed events and days/months before the showdown between the US Cavalry & Sioux Indians on the northern plains of 1867. Fetterman, Brown & Grummond rode out ahead of seventy-eight soldiers that day on December 21st 1866. In hopes of driving out some Sioux Indians and bring some scalps home. Many soldiers’ guard was down when Fetterman’s entire force

Revenge is a kind of wild justice. Throughout many texts, the notion of justice has been debated on whether it is an act that vindicates those who have been wronged or an excuse to pursue revenge. Through Medea, Medea’s actions have been judged and criticised whether her murders are an act of justice that she deserves or simply the idea of inflicting pain on those she loathes.

I am reading Crossed by Ally Condie and I am on page 140. So far this book is about Cassia and Ky’s journey in the Carving to find each other. Cassia travels with a friend, Indie, from a farm that she worked at before they came to the outer provinces. Ky travels with a boy who reminds him of cassia’s brother, Eli, and a friend, Vick. As they travel, Cassia and Ky both believe they will find each other somehow against all odds.

I chose the book Lone Survivor By Marcus Luttrell because I heard a few good reviews on the book and I was really interested in the story of Marcus Luttrell. The book was 389 pages. When I first started reading the book it was slow and I didn’t like it very much. Luttrell takes up the first 3 chapters describing his life growing up in Texas and includes stories of his twin brother Morgan everywhere in the book. He talks about his younger days, his family life and growing up to be a proud Texan. He then describes the backgrounds of each of his Navy SEAL team members, their height and weight, their physical strengths and their sense of humors. He even wrote about their families and girlfriends! I almost quit reading the book several times because for me, there wasn’t enough

Lone Star decreases the abhorrence surrounding incest through an assimilation to miscegenation; since the latter is more accepted among society in 1995, a smooth integration between the two make Pilar and Sam’s incestuous relationship seem acceptable. However, acceptability and believability are not synonymous. Though Sam and Pilar refuse to let “blood mean what society proclaims it should,” they cannot avoid the past’s dominating impact (26). This mere revelation creates a need for denial. Their knowledge of the past will determine their role in any society they wish to live in. In order to start over, “they will have to repeat the history of transgression, deception, and cover-ups they want to forget” (27). They will frequently remember their shared father as they reenact the roles he and Mercedes played twenty years prior. “Lone Star, like the lovers, cannot start from scratch” for Sam’s investigation collapses the border between past and present and provides an undeniable revelation (Buddy Deeds is Pilar’s father) (28). Sam and Pilar’s incestuous relationship creates a need for a loophole; and verifying a relationship on the basis of an alibi merely validates the past’s perpetual tainting of the present and future.

Hey, I just finished the book called Dork Diaries, Tales from a NOT-SO-Happy Heartbreaker By Rachel Renee Russell. My 5th grade teacher recommended it to me because she thought I should read books that have a little bit of everything that I like in a book, I agreed.
