A narrative quote about the boy is, “he was lead by the bull into a world of remembering”.

I look to the right of my bed and it’s there; crouching beside me. Its face is pure white and doesn’t resemble skin at all, but a shining porcelain. The monster doesn’t have a mouth - there is just skin running down from the bottom of its nose to its chin. Shielding it’s beady eyes are a pair of raven-black goggles strapped to its bald head. It wears what resembles a completely circular helmet the colour of a neon orange and its hands are covered in tactical gloves, dark as a jet-black night. It wears an amber jumpsuit and stare into my soul. Its wretched face is about five centimetres away from mine and I can feel an ice cold breath creep onto my forehead.The creatures body is hunched over and strange

The book Quarantine the loners starts out with the main character David who figures out his girlfriend Hillary has been cheating on him with one of his teammates from his football team.

The book Steelheart, by Brandon Sanderson, begins the story with a prologue, to provide the reader some backstory before delving into the main story. The prologue did an excellent job bringing my attention when I read the words “I’ve seen Steelheart bleed” (Sanderson, 7). The prologue from David’s point of view, had plenty of detail around the bank scene, making it seem like I can visualize the entire bank. The detail given throughout the prologue gives a realistic feel to it. When they introduced Steelheart (the main antagonist) in the prologue, I felt suddenly intimidated. The way David describes Steelheart makes me feel like David is describing an all-powerful god. David’s father dies by the hands of Steelheart since he made

Every other section in the book is written by Day while the other ones are written by June. They both show realistic suspenseful moments in dialog, writing, and actions they take. For instance when a boy named Thomas was awaiting his sentence for the killing of Metias, Junes brother, he told June how his commander told him to kill Metias in order to stay loyal to the Republic. But Thomas was very good friends with Metias and cared for him, but he knew that he commanding officer would “interrogate Metias, torturing information out of him, tearing off his nails, slicing him open until he screamed for mercy” (Lu 81). Because Thomas cared for him he “seized his collar, yanked the knife from his shoulder and plunged it deep into his chest”(Lu 82).Which goes to show how the dialog that Thomas said to June had meaning because June told him that if he is telling the truth and not lying she forgives him.The reason is said this is suspenseful is because there was a lot of suspense reading what Thomas had said wondering if June will forgive him.

The stone hollow echoed with dozens of small breaths and the clunky shuffling of chairs and tables. The lighting pulsated, from glowing orbs, the color of mandarins, positioned near walls throughout the room. Every child in the room was quiet in fear of disobeying and in pure content that today was another school day. Eilig sat in the back left of the room, at an ancient wooden desk with years worth of scratches and pen marks. Everyone else’s desks were identical: a scribbled-out heart an inch away from the corner, a deep, inch long scratch on the side. The silence was contagious until a woman entered the room, with hare-like features she clutched a clipboard, needle-like claws holding the soft wood in place.

Day effectively dissociates the

In today's society people are often seen as rude, inconsiderate and self centered. Although there are people on a day to day bases that helps those in need, not a lot of recognition is given. Yes there are true heros in the world even without being seen or wearing a cape flying through the city they are silent. They are our everyday advocates fighting for a true cause. As I read the Little Princes Conor Grennan comes to mind. He showed true determination through all circumstances. Although people never may have heard of him his work has definitely paid off. WIth more than 300 families reconnected he has answered a lot of prayers. In this book after turning a three month trip into a life long journey Conor committed to helping children who

The genre of Richard Matheson’s novel, I Am Legend, is quite distinct.The genre is dystopian and many other novels of this genre are similar to the plot of this novel. The main character, Robert Neville, is living in a post apocalyptic world taking place many years in the future. A pandemic resulting in vampirism has turned seemingly everyone on the planet into blood thirsty vampires and Neville has to survive. These points happen in almost every dystopian novel.

I Am Legend was written in 1954 so not many people
