Maximum Ride Nevermore Analysis

Improved Essays
Saving the world and saving your yourself while still trying to have a childhood is harder than it looks, which is shown by the book Maximum Ride: Nevermore and A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning .After I read Maximum Ride: Nevermore, I discovered that both these books focus on the struggles of young kids who have been detached from society because of terrible tragedies. They try to recuperate over time, but because of hypocritical people and brusque actions, they cannot escape their fate. The characters are forced to deal with people who seem simple and friendly, but are devious and are almost always out to get them. The flock and the Baudelaires are constantly moving from place to place, seeking a place of refuge from the continuous …show more content…
In A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, Violet is the leader and is also the oldest. These two characters are very smart and always feels that they must protect the others at any cost. Also, in Maximum Ride: Nevermore, Fang is the second in command, right behind Max, the leader. He is quiet, but he knows more than he lets on. In A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, Klaus is the brains behind the operation, he is also quiet, but he is always thinking. Last, Angel is apart of the flock and Sunny is apart of the Baudelaire family. Both characters are young and are seen as weak, but in reality they are both intelligent and know more than you would expect. In Maximum Ride: Nevermore, the setting is a house in the middle of nowhere, which seems like freedom for the flock, although they soon find out that threats can still reach them even out there. They are then forced to leave and go to a beautiful, tropical beach with bungalows for each member of the flock. This also turned out to be twisted into something they never wanted. The Baudelaires are trapped with Count Olaf who makes their lives miserable, but they thought it would be a place where they could recover. In both books, their sense of happiness and refuge is taken away and replaced with grotesque realities. The plot for both books is about foiling the plans of an evil character and saving one of their own from death. On one hand, Max has to save Angel from nasty experiments and on the other hand, Klaus has to save Violet from a evil plan and they must save Sunny from falling to her
