Essay On The Raven's Gate
Book review 4 by Justin Shain: The Raven’s Gate
The Raven’s Gate by Anthony Horowitz is a thirdperson horror novel. The Raven’s gate is set in the UK around the early 21century. It’s a story about a fourteen year old boy named Matt freeman. Matt has always been different from the other kids, his parents died in a car crash when he was young and the night before he saw it while he was dreaming. Matt’s aunt took him in after his parents death. Matt was always in trouble with the police until one day, he and his friend had to stab a security guard. Which later he was sent to the LEAF project and he ended up living with Mrs. Deverill in Yorkshire. It’s not long before he senses something wrong with Mrs.Deverill and the whole village. Matt discovers
secrets, and finds out something unexpected about himself and the world.
The strength of Horowitz writing can be seen through characterization. Horowitz mostly has indirect characterization in his dialogue. For example, “When I was young, a child never asked questions of his elders," Claire Deverill said.
"Was that before or after the First World War?" Matt asked.” This piece of dialogue revealed Matt’s personality, as well as Mrs Deverill personality and values. Horowitz is personally one of my favorite author because his use of characterization. The Raven’s Gate by Anthony horowitz reminds us that every life because of love. has a purpose. The main character named Matt believed that his life meant nothing at all until one of the characters said to Matt “You are meant to be here. There are no coincidences. It's all happening the way it was meant to be.” Horowitz wanted to tell us life has a meaning.
