The novels feature a young wizard known as Nate Temple who is on a quest to protect his hometown of St Louis from a variety of paranormal nasties that populate many novels that we have come to love from our childhood.

The only way to get out of his predicament involves killing one of his best friends, which is something he cannot even contemplate. He has two choices; he could put on hold his quest for vengeance or kill to save his hometown. However, either option will throw his conscience and the world into cataclysmic chaos that it may never emerge from. Either option would serve to show the world the effectiveness of magic and prove the bloodthirsty nature of monsters that would cause worldwide panic. If he is to survive, he may need to read from How to influence Monsters and Win Friends.

    Who Is The Parent's Message In A Monster Calls By Patrick Ness

    In the beginning of the book, the monster told the story of a prince who wanted to overthrow his step-mother who was the queen. Conor believed that the queen deserved punishment because she was evil, but when the monster explained what had truly happened, it turned out the prince was the one to blame. In the story that the monster told, the queen corresponded with Conor’s grandmother and he was the prince. Conor was bitter, hated his grandmother, and refused to live with her, and in the prince’s case, he hated the queen and could not stand her. Conor only saw the world in black and white and could not be more open minded to his opinions. In the second story, the monster tells the tale of a parson and an Apothecary. The story ends with the monster destroying the parson’s home. The story also ended up differently from what Conor had expected. He had expected the Apothecary to be the villain and not the parson. This time around, Conor acted differently. He and the monster started to act as if they were one and together they destroyed Conor’s grandmother’s sitting room. Conor, thinking it was all a dream, did not realize that he himself had ravaged it all. All of his suppressed negative emotions…

    Ghost on the Throne Book Review

    James Romm wrote Ghost on the Throne with the purpose to inform the reader of Alexander the Great and the empire he established, with the ensuing chaos the came after when Alexander tragically died at a young age. The book was organized somewhat chronologically, starting from opening the tombs in which Alexander was buried and how he fell ill, to the closing of the tombs and a reflection of the fall of his empire. Romm tried to answer the question of how Alexander died, providing multiple theories of how and why he died. Romm seemed to advocate the theory of poison from Alexander’s enemies, including the fact that many people wanted to see Alexander dead. Romm also explained in great detail how the empire fell; the countries wanted to conquer the others just as Alexander had done. However, the giant war led to the end of an empire. Romm explained much about Alexander and his trusted colleagues that were also his closet friends. They had much power over society and probably took advantage over those that did not admire and respect Alexander a much as they and many others did. Alexander was godlike to many of his people, which greatly impacted them when his death humanized him. One assumes that he was not as respected after his death then before. The people put their envy for the power of the empire before their respect for the established government and bloody, royal family.…

    The main character in the novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers is 16-year-old Steve Harmon who has been arrested and put on trial for his part in a robbery in which a convenience store owner was killed. A question that people can ask while reading this novel is, was Steve Harmon truly the lookout for the convenience story robbery or was he in the wrong place at the wrong time?

    Chickamauga. This essay is about Ambrose Bierce's dark short story, "Chickamauga."

    Ambrose Bierce's Chickamauga is a disillusioned child's awakening. Literally, a six year old deaf boy is thrown into a most horrifically traumatic series of events. His story is relayed in the third person omniscient perspective through the eyes of the child as well as an elder. It takes place during the Civil War in a southern town. Chickamauga begins with the boy's entrance into the forest where he goes to play solitarily. With him he carries a toy wooden sword with which he battles imaginary enemies to their deaths. Lost in his adventure the boy grows tired and falls asleep between two rocks deep in the woods. While he is a sleep a battle occurs unbeknownst to him. Several hours later the child wakes up and notices alien figures crawling towards him. Without knowing the gravity of the situation occurring before his oblivious eyes, he makes a game of it all. The child assumes a leader position for what he has finally determined to be men, and guides them towards a red light. The red light turns out to be his house on fire. When the child finally reaches the fire he is particularly amused by the raging spectacle. He searches desperately for fuel and finally commits his toy sword to the fire. Suddenly the boy realizes that fire is his own home. Horrified he studies the ghastly scene. He then stumbles upon his brutally murdered mother. The small child gets extremely upset, and at this point the reader learns that child is a deaf-mute. The story can be divided into three essential stages, representational of the boy's progression from innocence to forced maturity. The boy advances through innocence, progression to familiarity with reality, and awakening. The small child enters the forest joyfully and carelessly, he leaves with tremendous fear, depression, and realization. The forest is symbolic of middle ground between innocence and horrible reality.…

    Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    The lens through which readers encounter monsters is often a skewed one. This lens could be that of the author, who seeks to embody a monster as a horrific, non-human entity that will cause havoc in an area. Similarly, this lens could be that of a character in a piece, one who witnesses the monster’s wrath and destruction firsthand and hopes to avoid the cruel savage being. Monster narratives rarely unfold from the perceptive of the monster, and, as such, audiences must rely on other sources as to the monster’s course of action. Such voices can carry a bias with them. As in the case of the author, the omniscient perspective provides descriptions of the monster without directly interacting the monster. This perspective could easily fail to report…
