Warcross Marie Lu Character Analysis

Sophia’s war is a very historical novel but it is thrilling and reads like its an action movie. This book wasn’t entirely prdictible but some parts foreshadowed, a little too much. I loved the thrilling ending because of the action and suspense. Another bright side of the book was the glossary at the end of the book; because it helped me understand slang words from the time period. Another great thing about the book was I understood the ideas.

“Let me,” Ludington called, “I can ride as well as any man!” A young woman of only sixteen told her father one night during the Revolutionary War. Sybil Ludington volunteered to round up her father's troops when the original messenger could not go any farther. Sybil traveled over three times farther than the well-known story of Paul Revere. She rode farther, alone, and in horrible weather to bring four hundred soldiers to aid Henry Ludington. Sybil, though her remarkable story is largely ignored by historians, should be as well-known as Paul Revere for her bravery and contribution to the war effort.

Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader… they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role-always about the goal.” (A quote by Lisa Haisha) This quote connects to the American Revolutionary War by telling us what it takes to be a leader. America was able to beat the British because of many leaders. Three leaders were: Sybil Ludington, Nancy Hart and George Washington.

As with any genre, all novels termed ‘war stories’ share certain elements in common. The place and time settings of the novels, obviously, take in at least some aspect of at least one war or conflict. The characters tend to either be soldiers or are at least immediately affected by the military. An ever present sense of doom with punctuated moments of peace is almost a standard of the war novel. Beyond the basic similarities, however, each of these battle books stands apart as an individual. Charles Yale Harrison’s World War I novel, Generals Die in Bed is, in essence, quite different than Colin McDougall’s Execution. Coming years earlier,

Hello Nina, Miss Ferenczi was truly an enjoyable character. Miss Ferenczi teaching methods challenges the students to not believe every thing they're told during lectures. Moreover, we see how students also start questioning Miss Ferenczi about her intriguing stories. Prior to Miss Ferenczis implementation of tarot reading, she emphasizes that “There is no death” and that students should not fear it (160). However, students like Wayne did not realize this during the reading, which resulted in Miss Ferenczi's dismissal from her teaching duties.

The book Tomorrow, when the war began, is a realistic fiction novel by John Marsden. It fits into the category of “Realistic Fiction” due to the plot being Possible. The book has multiple characters of whom have varying importance to the story. They include Robyn, Fi, Homer, Ellie, Chris, Ellie’s parents, Lee, Kevin and many others. After a few days of camping, this group of teenagers figure out that a foreign army has invaded Wirrawee, their hometown(Red Dawn vibes anyone?) and are faced with either having to fight or flee. Pretty cool plot, and has riveting action sequences so far. Dialogue is comedic and serious at times giving me the perception that they are human, and not emotionless robots. But at times the plot moves very…

Wars have always been events that I enjoy learning about, reading about and just discovering what went on. So when this project rolled around I had no problem choosing the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, which was written by Erich Maria Remarque. Erich had been a German soldier towards the end of WWI and had, first hand experienced the pure terror that is war. I had heard of this book through my father who is also a major war enthusiast. Him and I have had numerous conversations about both World War I and II, as he was the one that originally suggested I read this book. I have to say that it was a tremendous suggestion in that this novel to me seems to be one of the finest pieces of anti-war literature ever penned. The way the novel is able to portray the mindset of a soldier was beautifully done and shows the complete deterioration that occurs over time.

Initially upon reading this book, I found it to be very strange. The progression of the story doesn’t follow an exactly linear path and the narrator often digresses and goes in circles. This makes the story very hard to follow in the beginning. However once I had adjusted to this style of writing, I found the book to be quite interesting. Despite the fact that this story is about war, it manages to be humorous at times, and all of the characters are well written despite the fact that they were very exaggerated. This story caused me to actually react emotionally at several points, especially at points when certain characters like Mcwatt or Nately died in such tragic ways. I remained interested in the story the entire way through, and was only disappointed by the fact that not a single character who acted and an antagonist was punished in any way.

The author effectively makes war more realistic and understandable for those of us who have never fought. One of the best techniques he uses is creating personable characters, who are interesting and relatable. These stories show the actual effects of the war on the soldiers and that they’re real people. The book does not contain all fighting, shows actuality, and is heroless, as compared to other war stories. The author creates attachment to the characters and an emotional and hilarious ride for the reader. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this

In Warcross, I believe there is a lot more going on in the book that the Author doesn't tell you. For example, does Hideo really love Emika? In this chapter i am going to tell you some theories about the book that I believe is true.

Notes for a War Story is a graphic novel written and illustrated by Gipi. The book debuted in Italy in 2005 and quickly became a classic in the genre there before being translated to English for release in Canada in 2007. The story follows three boys after a vague war came through their town, forcing them out of a home and creating scavengers in the process. The book stays personal, opting not to show the actual battles or why the war is happening in the first place, and instead focusing on the effects such an event can have on youth and drawing clear parallels to gang culture. The boys are drawn into a mercenary group soon after leaving their town and are coaxed into doing their leaders bidding. Within the confusion of the war and their manipulative mercenary leader, Felix, it was only a matter of time before their luck ran out. Overall, this was a fantastic story, with an ending that ties up the book better than anything I have ever read before. The edgy drawings of Gipi and realistic dialog carry the story through emotive

Waris has the strongest character I have never seen. Even though she was living hard times, she never gave up and always believed in life. It dazzled me when I read that a little girl of only twelve years old ran away from her family, without knowing where to go and what was waiting for her. According to me, I would not have had the courage to do what she did at this age. When she finally arrived to civilization, the nightmare she was through was only beginning. It was essential for Waris to be a fighter with all the obstacles she met : three rape attempts, her passport problems, the deportation threat in Somalia when she was beginning to live a normal life, etc. She passed through all these events with strength that only a few humans can own.
