Free Choice Blog Rangers Apprentice Book 8

      
Review
Recently I have read “The Ranger’s Apprentice Book 8”; this book in my Opinion was a successful addition to the series. The book itself had a very smooth flowing storyline, the vocabulary was easy to understand because of context clues, and the story was enjoyable over all. The Book was a breath of fresh air into a new world, just like the whole series has been. It was surprise read over the lines of the plot to find the Epic Twists that lied in the story itself, it was adventure to peer into a different world, and it was amazing to see the landscape of a new continent. The only thing I did not like about this book is the fact that when you get use to the story line of one character it switches to show the opposite side(the enemy), so if you get off of your chapter then you lose your place completely. I give this book a nine out of ten.
Author’s Intent
The author’s intent for this story was to entertain the reader with a new adventure and challenges for the three companions to overcome once more. We can tell this because of the entertaining story line that is packed with action and mystery, which has to be uncovered at the end of the story or next book.
Organizational patterns and use!
The author uses the Organizational Pattern called “Order of Importance” this pattern tells what is the most important events in the story, like how a main character defeats an antagonist. This order of Importance is mostly used in stories because it tells the most important events as they happen or happened (like in a flask back).

Lesson 1.03 materials and free choice blog assignment

    Hello my name is Kyle Krug, i am a fiction/ speculative fiction reader. this means i enjoy books about the unknown, supernatural, and science fiction.
    Currently the book series i am reading is called the gunslinger by Stephen king, I am only on the second book named "the drawing of the three." the series itself is about a outlaw/ gunslinger named Roland who is hunting a man in black but when he finally find the man in black, they talk. during this time Roland is send to the future to take three gunslingers and teach them all he knows. he is told after he teaches them he will return to the past with them to invade the dark tower, this about as far as i got but so far I think this book is incredible.I think just by talking about it is easy to see why i like it, it is packed with action, and strange mysteries.

 "The Drawing Of The Three" part 2
  I would say my reaction to the Gunslinger: drawing of the part three chapters six would have to be surprised. I would be surprised because Roland and his two companions Eddie and Detta find the third and final door. As Roland prepared to enter the door not knowing what lies behind it Detta walker’s split personality comes out to play. Taking Roland’s revolvers she threatens the two men, unknown to her the revolvers have been loaded with damp rounds.  As she puts the gun to the sick Gunslingers head and screams and yells for the two men to take her back home, Eddie tries to calm her down. When Eddie is finished Detta pulls the trigger on the gun and nothing happens. She then returns to her normal calm, less homicide self. Roland after a nights rest leaves the camp to enter the door, he deles in the darkness of the void area to come to a world filled of sound and light he has found his third, the pusher or did he.
                The third person is a person Roland already knows a boy named Jake; they meet in the first book of the series. To Roland this boy was almost a son, but at the end of book one Roland lets Jake fall to his death in a tunnel he does this to counting his way to the dark tower. Roland upon seeing Jake alive and well remembers the things from before the first time he meet Jake, including this slater of a small town were signal handle killed ever last person, men, woman, and children.
If I had to take notes on this I would say this would be all of my notes, ever last word I have just typed, they would also have to be in listing(Chronological order)
