Why 5/8/12

     The reason that I chose the book "Eldest,", by Christopher Paolini is because it is the genre that I like to read and it also has ddifficult vocabulary that spices it up and makes it more interesting to read.
     I got an enormous amount of lessons,suggestions and themes out of it. First, find the meaning of life when you can't. While most people would of given up in the situation Eragon was in, (Half of his world chasing him) he always had a goal to achieve and always learned something new every day. He also had and has to make hard decisions to make. Like to follow his own heart or listen to his best friend Saphira. And agree with the elves or dwarves.
     Abandoning this  book would a very crass act. Especially if you like Action /Adventure/Science Fiction books and stories, and books with vivid vocabulary. Like uttered instead of said or answered and so on.

Perception 5/2/12

      While I was reading "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini I really felt like I could see through Eragons's eyes at the part where Gannel shows Eragon the statues of the dwarf gods and godness's and he stared at them like an alien at a dog- without taking any pride of it even though he is an Ingetlum-part of the dwarf's clan.
      On the other side Gannel was so proud to even explain what the different gods were known for, not talking about how he felt having the statues in front of him. He as any other dwarf is supposed to take full pride in even  the entering cathederal in which the statues were placed. Once I was listening to a speech about economics and I didn't understand more than  anything at all. Also when I was reading a book called Adventures of Tom Sawyer and it was written in the language of the early 1800's and of the 12 chapters I read before abandoning the book I didn't understand half of it as well.   On that cathedral  part I really felt like Eragon and me were very alike.
