Book Talk

I think i did a pretty descent job on my book talk because i felt like it wasn't well thought out. i thought i knew what to say but i guess i was wrong; i should've used a note card so that i would've been able to be more specific about what the story was about, the theme, the literary devices,etc. I also had a visual aid/hook but it wasn't finished when i did the book talk because i had failed to come up with anything earlier...but at least i was able to make it look like what i wanted it to turn out to be:) i had also made the mistake of asking ms.crabtree if there was anything more that i was missing or needed to include in my book talk becuase i was left with nothing else to say. i should've asked her if she had any questions about the book...

A Quote from the book "The Prophecy"

Quote: " ' You're the embodiment of the scroll now, Catty,' he said reverentially.'My job is complete. No heir before you has had the courage to do what you did. The Prophecy has been fulfilled.' "

This shows that the character is dynamic because earlier in the book, Catty didn't seem all that brave. She had a prophecy to fulfill and she thought that she would fail, but she had learned to gain courage to actually fufill it. Everyone before her that also had to fufill the same prophecy had failed, so was the only one brave enough to follow her heart.
