book blog #4 foundling

after escaping from the criminal's Rossamund meets a mercenary named Europe; she is a soceress of type and has the ability to create lightning bolts from her body. When he meets this character she is sort of a hero to him because she is the helping person of the story so far, and all good stories have a person to jumpstart the adventures. examples are such as Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, or Brom from Eragon, Obi-wan from starwars, the list goes on and on. but the importance of a character like that is developing the hero themselves. the boy rossamund has been saved by this new apperance and he is now on the right track of life of a military man and he is learning many important details of the roads from the expierienced traveler. with the aid of the newly introduced Mercanary Europe Rossamund could finnaly have a chance at his dream, to become a hero.

book blog #3 foundling

in the recent pages of the book Foundling, the hero, Rossamund, was tricked onto the wrong boat and it was a baaaad boat, filled with low-life pirates and criminals who were in charge of stealing and smuggling banned items. this was a case of a good person being stuck into a group forcing him too be bad, this is like one scene in the mighty ducks movie. the coach who is a lawyer doing community serves tells his players to cheat. one of the players, charlie, refuses to do this and then leaves because he wants to play real hockey not cheating a penilty in. this is like rossamund who absolutly does not want to be a criminal, he says about how much he would hate to get caught when a patrol gaurd wants to board the ship but instead begins to chase it. his dream was already hurt when he became a lamplighter, but he would never be a hero if he was sent to jail.
