Ashleigh. Alex Rider: Never say die. By Anthony Horowitz. Michaud. #10. The picture that I had in my head was a picture of Alex clinging to the back of the Jeep. Also he was trying to keep a tarp over him so he could not be seen. This was so the guards at the front gate could not see him. If they saw him it would certainly mean the end if his life. The other picture in my head was a picture of when Alex had been hearing what was happening in the meeting room. This picture was of 3 men talking over the prices of gold. Then Alex being grabbed by the collar of his shirt. These are the pictures that were in my head for this book. ( P.g’s 158-172) #12. The part of the book that caused the most intense feelings

  • Pass On Michael Lee Analysis

    2661 Words  | 6 Pages

    “Pass On” written by Michael Lee is a free verse poem informing readers on grief, which is one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome not only when losing a loved one, but also in life itself. “Pass On” successfully developed this topic through the setting of an unknown character who explains his or her experience of grief. Despite Lee never introducing this character, readers are given enough information to know how they are overcoming this difficult obstacle.

One important piece of information Lee provides is the fact that he has experienced loss twice, one with his grandfather and the other a friend who was murdered by the

    735 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is a difference between courage and craziness. The definition of courage means “the ability to do something that frightens one”. The definition of crazy means “mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way”. The story of Chris McCandless is an interesting one as he heads off into the wilderness of Alaska by himself, with hardly any supplies. Unfortunately, McCandless’ journey ended on his 113th day in the wild. Many scholars believe that instead of being courageous or that he also he had a split personality which caused him to be deranged from the reality of the real world. It is possible that being crazy or courageous could have a connection. Chris McCandless demonstrated a
