Collosal books

                What happens when you mix all the books in the world together…  You get one colossal book.

That’s also pretty much everything you are going to see on this page.  A collection of awesome, super huge, mammoth sized books.  Starting off the list would have a collection of awesome books with a super long name.  What’s the name of this series you might be asking, well it’s The adventures of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Brightscales.  Isn’t that a mouthful.  It’s also known as the Inheritance Cycle which is the name I prefer to use.

                Next up would have to be the Arabian Nights.  While not as good as the Inheritance cycle this book has more than 3000 pages and that’s only one book!  I first discovered this book online and I made it my goal to read this super long and antique book.  Which was surprisingly good considering it came from the Triassic age. (Joking, well kind of…)  This book was actually made in Arabia a very, very long time ago.

                Another long series is the Rangers Apprentice series.  While none of the books in this series cap 400 pages they add up to more pages than the Inheritance Cycle.  This series was actually written by a father  in Australia to get his son to like reading.  Then the father decided to publish this series and was instantaneously famous.  Even now, two years after the series was created it remains on the New York Times top seller list.

                Last but certainly not least comes The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  This book is actually a collection of six books which were originally a radio broadcast.  This book was introduced to me by my 6^th grade teacher Mr. Finn and focuses heavily on 42.  This book has a ton of pages  and takes the grand prize for the book that took me the most time to read.

                Together this collection of books has more pages than I could possibly imagine having ever read but I have read those pages and this is what I was left with.  One vast collection of colossal books and one writing idea that was put into action.

Patriots Pen

I wouldn’t tell the founding fathers anything.  

If I did tell them something that could change history.  Which happens to be something nobody wants.  For example, if I told them that they would win the war then maybe the soldiers wouldn’t try as hard and we might lose.

Or maybe I could have told them to end slavery.  That could create a premature civil war and wipe out america before it even got a chance to start.  That would suck.  

Another thing that I could have told them to make the constitution more fair.  But then some whacko laws could have gotten thrown in there that would mess it up even more.
 
I wouldn’t tell the founding fathers anything because of those possibilities.  If any of those happened America would become a bad place.

A confusion of princes (cause/effect and conflict resolution)

                    In A Confusion of Princes the conflict is man versus government.  The main conflict in this is when Khemri realizes that the empire isn't very good and that he is bound in lots of ways.  In the story Khemri kills himself with perfect timing so that he can become a human forever and in turn resolve the story.  This conflict/resolution is similar to no other book that I have read which is one of the reasons I like this book so much.

                  The majority of story twists in this book are caused by Khemri turning into a human.  One of the effects of Khemri becoming a human is him finding out what it is like to be a human and finding out how wrong the empire is.  Another effect of Khemri becoming a human is his choice to leave the empire at the end of the book.  The one book I can think of that this relates to is Inheritance because at the end both protagonists leave the known world and venture off into the unknown.


Authors note, this was done for my reading lab because Mrs.Hanson is such a strict teacher and made me do it.
