4th Entry

1. The book that i have read was called the Traitors Sword by Amanda Hemingway. The character that I have chosen from this book is a boy named Nathan Ward. Nathan is the main character in the book.
Nathan is a very dark skin boy who is good at his schooling, cricket and rugby. He manages to get a scholership at a private school called Flyde Abbey. Nathan soon realises that he has the power to teleport across different universes in his dreams. He then is forced to retreive an ancient artifact called the Traitors Sword. unfortunalty the sword is guarded by a ancient demon. Nathan narrates some parts of the book such as when he is unconcious but other than that he is narrated.

2. The author has created this character to create a teenage veiw into a heroes lifestyle. Although Nathan is forced to do all the jobs of a hero he still continues to run through his daily teenage lifestyle. The author has also created this character because she wants to put in a character that doesnt know his father and forces it to become a major mystery.

3. If the protaginist was female instead of male it would make a few differences but not many. The main charcter in this book is Nathan Ward, the only main things that would change if he was a female is the school that he goes to. In the book he is attending an all boys school as a border. If he was changed to a female we would have to attend a different school changing a few charcters such as the pricipal (who figures out Nathans special power.)

Hey James how ya going its Rambo here.
First of all i think that i would quite enjoy the story that you are writing about and think it would be a very good read.
I think that it sounds as though the main character of your book Nathan has a very exciting life which is something like mine as i am also a boarder at an boys school.
I think the story line of the book is perhaps a little bit too fictional for my liking with the sword and the super powers but the part of the story which is like a teenagers life would be very intersting.
thanks for letting me read your blog.
