The book that I read was The House of Hades. The author is Rick Riordan. It is the 4th book in the Heroes of Olympus series. But it starts off from where the Percy Jackson series ended, so it is technically the 9th book. This book or series is played off from Greek and Roman mythology. This specific book was published in October 8, 2013. Currently, the 10th book is now out. The intended audience for this book are teenagers. The genre is fantasy adventure. But since this is the 9th book…

How does one recall their favorite book? It is different for everyone. For me it all comes down to visualization. Being able to see what is happening in my head during the story either makes or breaks it. I am a visual person who always seems to attempt to see the deeper meaning. In order for an author to catch me is to give me something to work with so that their words create a moving picture. There are few who are able to do this for me but when they do I binge on their writing. Patricia…
Although written during very different time periods, Macbeth and the Paris Architect portrays a parallel, from beginning, middle to end, that ultimately utilizes similar thematic elements to drive the plot along. From reading, the book can be divided into 4 distinct plot points. Examples include a trigger for the main character. For Macbeth, it was the encounter of the witches. For Lucien, it was the encounter with Manet. Now comes the ambition and desperation. There is a hindrance from the…

In the case of Godfather Death, there were two main characters, the Doctor, and the Death both played big roles in the story as protagonists. The Doctor had to follow Death’s conditions. By the same…
review. Tension needs to be enhanced. By making the central characters (Barnes and Fishbein) more demonstrative and less static, you will draw us in to their private worlds and fears. To create tension, there needs to be a strong goal that the protagonist tries to achieve. Tension is created by his attempts to achieve this goal, but…
BAD BLOOD tells the horrific real life story of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. The story does a good job of eliciting feelings of great indignation that was done to the innocent victims. The script explores and poses the moral question about how far the medical community goes for the sake of research. It also examines how callous the medical community can be towards patients, seeing them as a statistic rather than a real human being. The era, culture, and setting are authentic. The dialect…
