My overall impression of the book Blood on the River is that it’s a very good book. The reason I like it is because, it’s really suspenseful and it gets me really excited to keep reading. I think Elisa Carbone did a very good job of going to lots of places just to get facts so she could write an awesome book like that.
The character I can connect the most with is probably Samuel because he goes through a lot of hardships, either it being food, survival or Indian attacks. He also has to befriend someone he doesn’t trust yet.
The character that me most about life and death in the beginning and the end, was probably Captain John Smith because when he made Samuel stand on one foot, and told him that the whole colony has to be able to stand on two feet to survive.
I think the theme of the story that Elisa Carbone is trying to incorporate is bravery. I know this because on pages 78-80 it shows how Samuel knew just what to do about the situation they were in. With a lot of arrows flying around the fort, he got both the boys to go under the tent. James tried to get out but Samuel was pulling him, James started to get away but then Samuel lunged at him and grabbed him harder but James bit him and got away.
Another theme I thought was survival when he was at the Native American village how he learned how to make things using all-natural supplies. I think this because, when he was in the village he learned how to hunt and survive. The supplies he learned to make was “arrows, a bow, and a knife, then Kainta taught him how to shoot straight strait at target practice.
The best tragedy plot description in my personal opinion is Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is a play about two young star crossed lovers who were divided by their family's ongoing feud, the Capulet's and Montague's.
The lovers desired their family's to cease the spill of civil blood and the involvement of others in their feud. However, Juliet pretended to be dead after a plan established by her and the Friar Laurence to get her back with Romeo who was exiled from Verona for killing Tybalt. Romeo is not delivered the letter intended for him to read informing him about the plan. He therefore hears the news of Juliet's death and drinks posion not baring the sight of Juliet's cold body. Juliet arouses at an instance but is too late and takes her life with a dagger. The prologue is written below.
PROLOGUE
<span>Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
<span>What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend</span></span>
This quarantine sucks as much as wheat thins.
This quarantine has made me feel like a carrot.
Sometimes i paint myself orange, go in my backyard and bury myself in dirt and pretend i’m a carrot.
I want to die as much as hannah baker did when they called her thick.
Quarantine sucks as much as a vaccuum.
