Connections for Eragon, by Christopher Paolini

     In the book Eragon by Christopher Paolini, one of my best connection would be when a farm boy named Eragon, losses his uncle Garrow, who was killed by the evil Empires loyal servant's: the Ra'Zac's  and as a Dragon Rider  is powered by only the chance of getting his revenge. However when he meets the story teller Brom , he learns that revenge is not the only way to comfort yourself. Brom explains: "An enemy powered by revenge is as powerful as his revenge which makes him deadly. However if you loose control over yourself  the damage to the outer world will be unspeakable." I experienced the same thing over my mother's death when I was very angry with myself and wanted to take my revenge on anything I saw. However I learned that revenge is not the only way and the book Eragon really helped me understand it better.
     There were also a couple of connections that I made. For example when Eragon encountered the Urgals in Yuzac and killed them with magic he never even learned, and it was very surprising. When I was skiing at Willamette Pass for my first time ever I didn't even know what to do and how to do anything. It was very surprising when in one day I went form the "Sleepy Hollow" green circle to "Good time Charlie" black diamond in one day.
     Even though the boy Eragon and myself don't have much in common, there were the connections above that I made.
