The Heir Book Report

253 Words1 Page

In the novel, “The Heir,” there were many situations that caught my attention. A problem from the story was that, Baden, a member of the Selection, had a fight with Eadlyn, a princess. So, how the problem started was that, Baden basically asked Eadlyn out. Eadlyn was friendly to Baden for about an hour and then, she walked away, as if nothing happened. The next day, Baden showed up at Eadlyn’s front door, explaining to her how he wanted to leave the palace and how he felt when Eadlyn “shot him down” the night before. To elaborate, that was when they got into a fight. Eadlyn tried to explain herself to Baden, about how she was extremely busy and she never really said “no” when Baden asked her out. After a while later, Eadlyn decided to give

  • Book Review: Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis

    1427 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis, the author relates the stories of six crucial historic events that manage to capture the flavor and fervor of the revolutionary generation and its great leaders. While each chapter or story can be read separately and completely understood, they do relate to a broader common theme. One of Ellis' main purposes in writing the book was to illustrate the early stages and tribulations of the American government and its system through his use of well blended stories. The idea that a republican government of this nature was completely unprecedented is emphasized through out the book. Ellis discusses the unique problems that the revolutionary generation experienced as a result of governing under the new concept of a democracy. These problems included- the interpretation of constitutional powers, the regulation of governmental power through checks and balances, the first presidential elections, the surprising emergence of political parties, states rights vs. federal authority, and the issue of slavery in a otherwise free society. Ellis dives even deeper into the subject by exposing the readers to true insight of the major players of the founding generation. The book attempts to capture the ideals of the early revolutionary generation leaders and their conflicting political viewpoints. The personalities of Hamilton, Burr, Adams, Washington, Madison, and Jefferson are presented in great detail. Ellis exposes the reality of the internal and partisan conflict endured by each of these figures in relation to each other. Ellis emphasizes that despite these difficult hurdles, the young American nation survived its early stages because of its great collection of charismatic leaders and their ability to ...

  • Phillipa's Fox Hunt by Somerville Ross

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    The starting of the story kept me in suspense: the starting sentence, “No one can accuse Philippa and me of having married in haste” (Fox 1). This clearly brought up the theme of love and marriage. The selection of words by the narrator told that the speaker did not regret his marriage. The defensive tone of the narrator made me to think that perhaps people had criticized his marriage.

Mama often dreams and longs for the day she can be reunited with Dee, like in the TV shows.

  • Conflicts in "The Storm"

    804 Words  | 2 Pages

    Conflict is one of the main driving forces behind a story. Without conflict the characters in the story would have no reason to do anything. Because of this every story requires some type of conflict in order to progress. The types of conflict can range from a man enduring the elements, known as man against nature, or as one character against a larger group, man against society. In addition to the other styles of conflict, the most relatable and compelling is when one character is set against another, known as man against man. Kate Chopin’s story “The Storm” displays three examples of a man against man style conflict, Bobinot against his wife Calixtra, Alcee against Calixta, and Alcee against his wife Clarisse, these show how a nonviolent conflict can occur between characters.
