Jacob Grimm: Chapter Summary

Great Essays
The book starts out with narrator of the book, the ghost of Jacob Grimm. He has been given the quest of following a boy named Jeremy Johnson Johnson. Jacob Grimm tells of things he 's seen, dealt with, and done, while still giving a good view on what 's going on. Jacob Grimm talks about Jeremy, a 15 year old who is an intelligent boy who is sort of a loner. He is sort of rejected by society but still has a few friends to spare. It doesn 't help that he starts telling people that he is in contact with some being hearing voices. Other than that he has lived a hard life living without his mother and live with a father who has just given up on life. He does sometimes bore me while reading because he seems so boring at times. At the beginning …show more content…
It sometimes said things that made no sense to me but I just kept reading along especially with Jacob Grimm narrating the story. I never really read such a dark fairy tale, but as I read I realized that this really isn 't too dark of a book. The bond between Jeremy and Ginger slowly becomes greater throughout the book. This also helped Jeremy a quiet hermit like boy to come out of his shell all thanks to ginger, The two opposites soon made one of the same. There is always this eerie feeling throughout the entire book that sends chills down your back and yet I can 't really bring to mind exactly what it is. The ghost of Grimm is what made me really made me enjoy the book, I think he is what made the book. And yes, Jeremy is the main character but Jacob Grimm 's dark yet helpful insights made life easier for Jeremy. In general, this book has many different kinds of classifications put together that give it this different concoction of things like horror, imagination and sci-fi.
A character in the book specially gave this horror like awe to the book that could give you nightmares. Mrs. Truax, had a son named posh who was lost at the age of five. Because of his absence she goes around the rest of her life searching for the lost soul. This book ended up being like the old story of Hansel and Gretel but the witch was a

    What did you like about this script? I thought the writer’s take on the Hand of Glory myth was interesting and I liked that the writer made it a hand of a witch and not that of a thief as it is commonly believed to be. I would have liked it if the writer expanded on their perspective of the hand a bit more and explained why most believed the hand aided thieves to steal when in each flashback those that come in contact with the hand are all killed.…

    The Haunted by J.A. Templeton is the second book of the MacKinnon Curse series. This is an exceptional book for anybody who enjoys to read both romantic and paranormal fiction books. Similarly to the first book of this series, The Deepest Cut, I always found myself on the edge of my seat ready to read what happens next. Though this book is excellent for older audiences, readers under the high school level should not read The Haunted because of the use of inappropriate language, self harm, drug use, and alcohol consumption. In this book, Riley continues to be haunted by Laria, an evil spirit, at an even more disturbing level.…

    For this genre based novel study, the focus is centred on two great classics, Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Schindler’s List. Some of the best works, if not the best in their respective genres, sci-fi, and historical fiction, these two pieces of literary brilliance, were trailblazers for later books to come in the genres. While seemingly unrelated, sci-fi, and Historical fiction do have a lot in common. The genres are both very effective at creating realistic, but, “beefed up”, and more entertaining stories. This amount of entertainment value can be found in reasons shared by the genres, as well as where they differ.…
