Prompt: Describe the major conflict. What side are you on?
The major conflict in the books so far is pretty bad for the characters in the book. The conflict they are being faced with is that there is a suspected traitor among them. They start to suspect a traitor when there have been a series of unfortunate events that severely weaken them, and most importantly, their guard. Without the guard of the berserkers, the two princesses, Asa and Solvieg, and the prince and their brother, Harald will be completely defenseless against the invaders that are currently invading their country.
Solvieg has been having this strange dream, that is reoccurring. She sees all the people in her company dead on the floor, and a strange figure that appears to have broken through the door, and there is a cloud of dark energy above that person in the shape of a wolf's head. Once she tells her friend and storyteller, he starts to wonder if that dream can come true and if they can prevent it. Once doing so, it seems that the traitor is alerted and decides that it is time to strike. The traitor takes the one of the people's main source of food, the cows that give them milk, and leads them to the forest. There, he kills them, then gives them to the wolves.
I think it is pretty easy to pick a side here. I choose the side of the King, his guard, and the princesses and the young prince. The Kingdom they live in seems to be just and fair to everyone. We are given no reason to doubt the integrity of the kingdom and the people that live in it. Since we are given no reason to doubt, we can infer that the attackers have no justification for as to why they are attacking.
I commented on Stanley, Nadrian, and Gianna
Nik,
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe you should say who "they" are in the beginning of your paragraph, just to make it easier for the reader to understand which characters. Your book seems really interesting!
Nik,
ReplyDeleteVery well written blog. That is a huge conflict and it is really bad for the good characters in your book. This book seems very interesting and I think I might like to read it. From how you explained it I think I would also pick the side of the King.
Good Job this week Nik. I like how you talked about which side you were on and how you clearly defended your position. Also, you clearly explained the main conflicts. I usually don't find any urge to read these typs of books but I just might have to read this one.
