Prediction This novel, Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare seems pretty interesting to me due to its sort of unpredictable, yet intriguing theme on its cover. However, by reading the title, I predict that it will be about an angel constructed of clockwork. Based on the cover art, I have come to believe that this novel focuses on a young man who decides to build an angel, but then realizes that it has special abilities or powers. I think that he will probably inherit powers too, for on the cover, the angel and the man seem to be emitting light and glowing faintly. I believe that specific detail represents special powers and/or magic. I am assuming that the setting will take place in London, probably in the early 1900s because Big Ben, the …show more content…
Although they both have many differences, they also happen to have a lot of things in common, based on the crazy things that have happened in their lives. Many unexpected adventures came their way and they both have truly changed as people from these adventures.
One thing that they both have in common is that their parents are both dead and they were brought up by an aunt. Tessa’s parents died when she was a toddler and she was raised by her Aunt Harriet. Harry’s parents died when he was a baby and was raised by his Aunt Petunia. They also both lived ‘normal’ and mundane lives until they suddenly realized that they aren’t what they thought they were. Tessa grew up living a mundane life until she was kidnapped by the Dark Sisters only to find out that she is a special kind of Downworlder. Harry had believed he was normal until Hagrid found him and he realized that he’s a famous

This story is set in the Victorian era, specifically in 1878, where various species of supernatural beings who protect the world against demons coexist in a world with ‘mundanes,’ or non-magical people. The main character of this book is a sixteen-year-old American girl named Theresa “Tessa” Gray. She is a tall individual who is quite extroverted and has brown hair and gray eyes. Tessa’s life immediately changes when she sets off to London to reunite with her brother; she gets kidnapped and tortured, which leads her to discover a new world and powers she never knew she had: the ability to shape-shift and turn into (become) other people. As she learns what she is capable of, she realizes that the Magister, a mysterious man who runs a secret club called the Pandemonium Club, is after her powers. She also finds out that her brother has gone missing as well. Tessa finds herself to unite with a race of half-angel half-human beings called Shadowhunters to find her brother and to help them uncover the mysteries of the Pandemonium Club, the reason and purpose of the suspicious murder cases of mundanes, and who the Magister is, as well as what his schemes are; at the same time, she struggles with figuring out what she truly is herself. This book doesn’t necessarily have a resolution for it ends in a cliffhanger. However, some conflicts were still solved. The end of the novel was
Signify the incredible but unfortunately doomed love the two shared. I believe one reason the two will fall in love is because they both have/had cancer and they are intelligent enough to know that only a cancer patient can understand one. They will begin to bond over the simple things like books and have a deeper understanding of one another than anyone else could.
One similarity they have is that they are both loyal. Abbi is very loyal when it comes to helping people. When someone is upset or not feeling well, Abbi is always their to help them or help make them feel better. Ivan is also loyal, he won’t give up on trying to get Ruby out of the mall. “Once upon a time” I say, there was a baby elephant and she needed to go to a place called a zoo... “

D.J. and Matthew My brothers D.J. and Matthew are similar and different in many ways. They both like many of the same things, and dislike many of the same things. Although they do often disagree, they do agree on some things.
I think this because, they seem to enhance/highlight characteristics about each other. A theme that can express this situation could be: characters can affect each other’s personalities/characteristics in multiple ways, no matter if it’s mentally, physically, or even emotionally. One critical scene where you truly see Ethan and Lena highlight certain characteristics about each other is when they were sitting together in the Greenbrier Garden. After Ethan started a conversation with her, I noticed that Lena isn’t always tense and serious as she appears to be. She can have a relaxed and not-so-strained side to her, but knowing Ethan, only to people she can truly trust.
They both seem to want something more in life other than partying, compared to their friends. They both seem to be attempting to have goals, however unattainable or misguided they may be. Also, they
They each have experienced tragic and difficult obstacles that could keep most people back from success and happiness, but instead overcame those difficulties to succeed and live their lives with hope and optimism.
Growing up, Anxiety and her fraternal twin sister Fear always got along because they had the same beliefs but were also a little
A similarity Is that they both are scared of the jackboots i know this because in the excerpt they were hiding from the jackboots because the jackboots were searching for them. They are scared there even scared when they are with the adults. Sometimes they hide in the basement or in a closet that is behind a stone wall. The character had to hear the jackboots searching for them so she had to quit with her family. The speaker was walking in a sidewalk and she was walking next to a guard and
Both Jonas and we are very similar, we both have school. Both of our society have very similar school systems we both have grades and years. Every year in both of our communities we move up one grade. We both also have jobs even though Jonas his forced to worm we here they feel that he will best fit they are still similar. In our communities we are allowed to choose where we work if we work at all.
We are alike in our strong leadership skills and ability to work both alone or with a team. We are both amazingly creative and love to think outside the box. We differ in the sense that I am a reader and like to take the time to make sure I complete my tasks in correct order. I am a neat freak
Lord of Shadows was an average book in my opinion. It wasn't particularly bad but compared to most of Cassandra Clare’s other works it did not stack up. There are a lot of good parts such as her always excellent world building and writing style, but the bad parts almost completely ruined my experience reading it. I would most likely not recommend it to a peer.
In the book, Clockwork Angel, written by Cassandra Clare is about an ordinary girl, named Tessa Gray that moves from New York to London to go live with her brother after her aunt passed away.

Saving Rachel This is a very interesting book, which is about a wonderful story, full of many feelings, both good and bad, which navigates the reader through a sea of suspense, intrigue, where reading wants to read more and more is, besides having the paranormal side, as well romance where we can see that she is betrayed by her lover, and then Rachel remembers his past so you can discover how to survive the brutal onslaught of the Twelve. Giving a great twist in the story where Angels are willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the assault in Heaven, but who still believe Rachel is the cause of all the pain. and although it is very difficult Rachel has to fend off the ground, attacking the angels, while somehow convince them that Valkyrie,
We both put our family and friends first even if they are annoying, liars, and could care less about you we will always love them. I think that we are similar because even though we are not the strongest we never give up and keep trying even when people keep telling us we are not strong enough, we are too little, and we should just stop. Beatris Prior and I are selfless, help others, and also put other people before ourselves. All in all, Tris is one character that I have watched and read about that people say we have a lot of stuff in common and one, for example, is that we are but persistent in everything we do.
