Don't Take Just One View

Authors Note: I wrote my text analysis essay on how Anthony Horowitz changes the point of view in-between characters, because I think that more books should be like this. There are many books that can be improved and extended by just doing this.

Confusion happens all the time in a book. You don't know what to think about a character because someone doesn't always have the right thought about someone. Like saying they're stuck up but really just shy. In most books it's just one person's like, one person thoughts and ideas. However, in the series The Gatekeepers, by Anthony Horowitz, every couple chapters or so the point of view changes. In this book there are five  main characters that all share the same importance. It helps showing the thoughts of different characters, but also what they think about each other. The story can now be viewed by many different views. It improves the quality of the literature.

Anthony Horowitz writes great books; they really show the personality of a character. She also shows how overtime in the book they change. But not just in the eyes of the character, in the eyes of others too. This helps show what the main characters are thinking about each other. Without the changing of the point of view readers, would think that maybe a character playing the bad guys or he really has changed. In the book when Scott is with the Old Ones, it goes to his point of view and it shows he’s teaming with the winning team. This helps the ready really find out how the character is really thinking about a situation

While that is happening it switches point of views a lot and shows how every character see’s what’s going on. Some hope he’ll choose them over the old ones; some think he’s waiting for the right chance to attack. This really helps the book progress along because instead of having one person’s thoughts and one person’s actions being told. Reading books like this really keeps the reader interested in the book. Sometimes you may pick a favorite character and anxiously read hoping next they will stumble into the chapter that shows his or her point of view. Horowitz has written many books with this un-unique quality. Each book better in many ways by this one thing, the changing in point of view.

When everybody, Matt, Pedro, Scar, Scott, and Jamie, get separated. It shows the point of view of all five of them. Telling the reader where they are and how they are getting along. By doing this it really shows the instinct and the personality of the character, showing how they react when pressed with an urgent situation. Some acted with braveness and others acted like a coward. This also shows how they act.

There was a scene in the book where somebody was going to betray them and everybody thought it was a different person. It went through every character's mind and showed how they investigated. It really showed how other people thought and what they thought about each other. In a book it’s really interesting to see who characters trust and who they don’t.

.

There aren’t many books like that, but the ones that are keep the reader intrigued and more interested. Anthony Horowitz is a great book writer. She perfectly describes and shows a character's attitude toward things. Anthony also gets the reader to realize and understand the motives of the characters very well. This really puts the book together not only does it help the reader realize what other characters think but it really pieces together a book. Everybody’s thoughts is way better than just one, everything comes together and in the end just makes more sense. Having the point of view change throughout a book drastically increases its literature and meaning of the story.

Reading Response Three

There are many big differences in-between the two waiters. There is a young waiter who is very impatient and is very rude. He is very unwise and doesn't care about business. Towards the end of the night when someone comes in and he has to stay instead of go home. The young waiter gets very grumpy and has no concern for the old, suicidal, man. Yet the older more wise waiter was very patient and understanding. He tried to stick up for the old man and came up with some good reasons too. I picture these two waiters like two friends, one old and one young. The older one is very wise and patient yet the younger one is the opposite. The cafe symbolizes that one place you go for piece and quiet yet there's someone there taking that away from you.

Don't Push It

Gentlemen: I received your letter to-day by post, in regard to the ransom you ask for the return of my son. I think you are a little high in your demands,

I think this part was important because it showed that the father didn’t like the child either. This really brought together the story. This really shows that compared to all the other kids they’d kidnapped this kid was so annoying that they’d rather pay to get rid of him than keep him. I don’t see how it’s possible to be so annoying that even your own father doesn’t want you.

There's Always Difference

Authors Note: I wrote this compare and contrast essay on Scott and Jamie Tyler because they are characters in my favorite book series and I think there is more to them that meets the eye.

Difference, everybody is different. It may be the slightest of physical difference or the personality. Often identical twins are close to impossible to tell apart. These two kids are characters in the book Oblivion. You can tell them apart from how they act. More often than not one of the twin takes over the older sibling role. Scott and Jamie are twins in a messed up life with fighting to save the world at the age of fifteen. Fighting along with Pedro, Matt, and Scarlett. Just like Pedro, Matt and Scarlett Scott and Jamie have powers too, they can read and control minds. Even though they are twins you can tell the difference in them. Despite their looks you would expect and think that Scott is the older one. He acts more mature, older, confident, and serious. Even though they look the same, they don’t always act the same.

Scott is 15 just like his brother. Scott has always been the one to act first, take responsibility, and all around just be the bigger person over Jamie. Scott doesn’t control Jamie, he protects him. He’s like the older brother to Jamie and Jamie knows it. In the second book of the Gatekeepers Series, two men came to take them away because they knew about their power. It was Scott that went out to investigate, and it was Scott who stayed behind so his brother could get away. Scott asks a lot more mature than his age. Most kids would fold under pressure, but not Scott.

Scott could be looked at the protector. But with a protector there has to be the protected. This is Jamie, he isn’t like a little kid but he still isn’t as grown up as Scott. When he is without Scott he seems lost with himself, he doesn’t know what to do and he doesn’t know where to go. Throughout the series it points out that in others view it seems like Jamie is the more grown up. Even though he is small he just seems like he would assume the role. Scott is more quiet but

he is still more mature.

Even if two people seem very alike in person, don’t expect them to really be alike of what kind of person they are. The best example i’ve ever seen is Scott and Jamie. They both had gone through the same thing until Scott made Jamie leave him behind so Jamie could get away. Scott knew he would be tortured and he accepted that, because he is so much more in control of who he is and what to do to protect Jamie. Looks may mean something, but attitude and personality change everything.
