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.
Satire is a genre of literature in which vices and abuses are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming. It can be directed towards corporations, governments, individuals or society at large. Satire is usually humorous, however, it serves a purpose of social criticism. Satire often uses techniques such as parody, exaggeration, and analogies.
In <em>A Modest Proposal</em>, by <em>Jonathan Swift</em>, the author provides a "proposal" for dealing with the economic problems of Ireland. Swift says that the economy could be improved if parents sold their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This text fits as satire for two main reasons:
- <em>Its use of language:</em> irony, exaggeration and parody are all used extensively.
- <em>It serves a purpose of social criticism:</em> its intention is to mock attitudes towards the poor, as well as British attitudes towards Irish citizens.
