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.
Matthew,
ReplyDeleteOverall, this piece was really good. I like how you mentioned the main conflict and analyzed it a little bit. My only criteria is that you don't have an author's note. Nice job!
I liked the descriptions, and I understand the book a whole lot. However, you use the name of the Charectar a lot, and it could be something more of like "He or She". I also liked the description of events.
