Summary Of Skybreaker By Kenneth Oppel
I am reading a book called Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel. It’s the second book of the Airborn series. This book has 350 pages, which adds 350 pages to my reading goal. This book has a lot of awards so I am expecting good things out of this book.
This book is about a boy named Matt Cruse. While on the Airship Academy the cadets that are on duty spot a stranded airship named “The Hyperion”. The Hyperion is a long lost ship created by a famous and wealthy inventor, and the ship rumoured to have most of his treasures onboard. The ship was found at the Antartartic. The info quickly spreads to people. Someone who claimed to be a descendant of the Grunel wants to have a discussion, so they meet up. When Matt arrived there, instead of the descendant, a criminal named

For example, the two people repaired The Sagarmatha after it being shot by John’s crew. I did not find that realistic at all, unless the weapons were extremely weak, or the 2 people are extremely gifted at repairing ships.The ship is literally an entire blimp, and the two manage to fix it very quickly. Sure, the technology is way more advanced, but still. I wished they would have found another approach to this, like maybe stealing John’s ship or something. Another example was there was extinct animals found on the ship. When they got on they found many extinct animals or “rare” as they call it in the story. One of the animals that stood up to me was the dodo. I watched an entire documentary on the dodo and it is an extinct animal. Kate said that they were going through “anhydrobiosis”. I doubt that they could go through that for nearly 50 years! It’s a bit ridiculous, as dodos don’t even go through anhydrobiosis. Also if they did go through anhydrobiosis, that only means water, and not food, so they should’ve starved and decomposed in their cages. Though I didn’t expect this story to be hyper realistic, I still expected it to be somewhat

    This book is a very interesting read, if you have some self discipline. I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didn't really captivate me in the sense that I couldn't put it down.

    One of the best things about this book is how when u start to get bored with the book she brings you right back. Like if you are reading chapter 28 and you are about to end it and you think it's starting to get boring, then there's a cliff hanger right at the end of the chapter. You can't put the book down it's so good. I can't wait to read the rest…

He is one of my favorite authors and I have read most of his books before this one. I am in love with this story so far. I haven’t finished reading it though. He gives so much thought into his character and the plot is full of little turns that keep you on your feet.…

    1. In Chapter 5, of Supercrunchers, "Experts versus Equations", the author makes a great case for the fact that equations predict better than humans. What reasons does the author give that illustrate why a human cannot make predictions as well as an equation? Reason 1: the human mind tends to suffer from a number of well documented cognitive failings and biases that distort our ability to predict accurately. Reason 2: Once we form a mistaken belief about something, we tend to cling to it. We are likely to discount disconfirming evidence and focus instead on evidence that supports our preexisting beliefs. Reason 3: Most people are overconfident while they make prediction to the future while some people tend to be underconfident and slow to change in the face of new evidence. And overconfidence becomes severe when the problems become more complicated.…

    Personally, I believe and know that Brende’s view of technology changes throughout the whole book. You can use an example form the very start of the book, to see where his view starts at. Eric Brende talks about never missing an episode of Star Trek when in his early teens “When I reached my early teens, I never failed to watch an episode of Star Trek, and I read almost every piece of science fiction Isaac Asimov wrote.” (Brende, P. 5). At this point of Brende’s life, I believe that he absolutely loved technology and what it was doing to our society. All the futuristic things like Star Trek got his mind wondering about what could come from technology. But as I stated before, I think his perspective of technology changed for Brande. Brenda writes…

This is an important event because Ben is handicapped, which teaches Anna and her family how different life can be and how to cope when you have a disabled child in the family.
