Prompt: 2- Analyze how dialogue or specific incidents reveal information about characters. Make sure to include textual evidence
This week I did not read a lot but in those few pages I got a bunch of information. We got introduced to some new and very important characters. In fact we got introduced to 4 new characters in 50 pages! These new characters include Vanessa (a collector of magical animals), Tanu (a potion maker), and Coulter (a collector of magical artifacts). The fourth one is one of the most important person in all of the magical preserves The Sphinx. The Sphinx is a magical creature that can live for a long time and has used his knowledge to help all the magical preserves and to stop the Society of the Evening Star. In these pages we learned who he was and how he helped Seth and Kendra our main character. He helped Kendra find out that she was Fairykind and has all the magical powers that the fairies have. He helped Seth with his bite mark from a Demon that wants to eat him up so he can be a free demon. In this blog I will talk about specific incidents that revealed more on our new characters.
The first character I will be talking about is Vanessa, Vanessa was the first one introduced to us. Right in the beginning they revealed to us something about Vanessa's character. When Vanessa first went to go pick up Kendra and Seth to save then from Errol (part of the Society of the Evening Star) She went in a sports car that was custom made for her. This tells us that she is flamboyant and along with her car she went dressed like a "supermodel" (said Kendra). All of this tells us that she is showy and likes to be the center of attention. The second character I will be talking about is Tanu, Tanu is a potion master as I already stated. We learn a little bit of Tanu when we meet him and he shows Kendra about some basic potions. In the potion presentation Tanu talks about his life while concocting a potion. in this potion there is anger and there is shame and humiliation. Seth limitedly said he wanted anger but Tanu asks if he is positive because anger is a strong feeling. From this we learn that Tanu is cautious but later we also learn he likes a good laugh to. Third person is Coulter in his presentation we learn that he is very diligent. He ranted on and on about his collection but in the beginning he eves dropped on Seth and Kendra. He over heard about them talking about the Sphinx while where a gloved that rendered him invisible. From this we learned that he eves drop probably when working and cares about his collection.
Lastly we will talk about the Sphinx, the sphinx is a very important character and I believe we will see him in many other books. We learned that he knows how to gain people confidence and how to lower there confidence to try to get them to believe in him. We learned that he knows how to gain confidence when he let Kendra beat him a foosball and that let her be more confident. When he went against seth he lowered his confidence by beating him at it but after he told him what he did to his sister. After though he got them comfortable by treating them to a drink and solving there problems. Overall There is a lot of events that show each characters personality in this book.

I liked how you included a picture of one of the characters in the story and how he contributes to the storyline. Is Tanu a wizard? Or is he something else? I enjoyed how you included the name of the character for each quote which makes it a bit more better. The other major detail that I liked about your blog was that you included the personality for each character and specific incidents. Great Blog Post.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your blog. It included great points. I also like that you included the picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog this week! I liked the picture you added, it created a great visual. It is amazing that four character were introduced in 50 pages, especially because it's so far in the book. I like how you explained the different character explicitly, it really made me understand who they are.
ReplyDeleteGustavo, was it confusing at all keeping track of all of the new characters in just 50 pages? How old are these characters, like are they adults or teenagers? I absolutely loved how you described Tanu and how you made it really clear that he doesn't really appreciate himself. Great job!
