Brisingir Essay

Have you ever wished you were in a fantasy type realm such as a Sci Fi movie. Well by reading Brisingir, it puts you in world of dragons, magic, and evil. So the start of the book was getting right to the plot and the action. Of course before a real page of the book started, the author explained what had happened in the previous books leading to this one. Which I found very helpful because i had read the other books 4 years before. Anyway the way the book started was awesome i thought and especially the words he used in the book rather than common words such as said and "and". Although it started off well, that was only the beginning of the book.

Deeper into a plot where backstabbing occurs and lives are taken the story seems to lose its "value" so to say,. In other words, it seemed to get boring. Also they kind of gave out the end of the book in the middle by making it obvious as to what was going to happen next and how they would do it and so on and so forth. Overtime the author recovered but painfully slow for my liking. So there were some negatives but i still kept reading. Then something caught my attention. When i said it gave away the ending, they completely caught me off guard.

They completely changed the direction of my train of thought. I thought this was at least one step forward. then i got deeper and deeper into the book then i was done. It got me thinking though. I also liked how Brisingir had a lasting effect on my thoughts. Not in a bad way or anything but it kept me thinking about the book and if there's going to be another one and maybe even what i would do if I were in the situation of the main character. So that was another positive.

Putting all things in the open I thought that Brisingir was a work of art and maybe someday I'll read it again. There were more positives than negatives and if there was a negative the book hid it very well because i could only find a couple of them. Very good book with a high re-read value for me at least. If you like a Sci-Fi kind of book with action, suspense, and dragons, then please pick up this book.

Once Upon a Time

D's-Day: Epilogue

When I planted that big boy they knew what was about to happen. You should have seen the look on their deformed faces. (laughs) Priceless. now back to what i was saying. The bomb went off, and when it did, sure anything within 16.3 klicks was completely disintegrated. We thought we won. We thought. Little did we know, (and i mean very little)they had a whole underground network. We would think it was like an ant colony type thing, you know, tiny and harmless. We were not so surprisingly wrong (again). Over the course of one year, 98% percent of the WHOLE world was war torn and desolate.Over run by what we now call "The Swarm". We were that other two percent. We are the "The Resistance" calling all survivors to join us in an uprising possibly leading to triumph. This is Dimitri Audoto, requesting you to join us. D.A. out.

D's-Day: The Sacrifice

So we left off suddenly. So lets continue shall we. When you left we were talking about how Dimitri wasn't ready yet, so I trained him. After a lot of whining and giving up then coming back to finish he was actually ready. No doubt about my confidence in him. So we started a covert ops mission gave to me by my leader sort of as a "welcome to the club" sort of thing to Dimitri. On we went. When we got to the enemy headquarters Dimitri was in shock. Poor kid didn't know they were this sophisticated. Well believe it. So with me leading we slipped into the base undetected. The enemy was prepared. Although it could have killed me as well as many of the people who tried to complete this task before, but i knew what was coming. I saw holes in the floor, about 3 x 3 inches. Dimitri didn't. Luckily I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the way just as he stepped on the spring to the trap. I'd say the sharpened stake was about a, maybe a quarter inch from his face. After the near death experience, He asked me what my name was. I responded with "Dimitri". He couldn't believe it. I knew he understood what i was trying to say. Yes as crazy as it seems, i am Dimitri Audoto. Just from the future. Now back to the story. Blah blah long walk blah blah sneak past infantry. Lets get to the good stuff. We were arming the bomb as "it" happened. Bombs went off, stun grenades were thrown, I could see, but he couldn't. I took action of sacrificing my life to save his. I picked him up over my shoulder. put him in the nearest alien looking vehicle. Then I. I grabbed something heavy and put it on the pedal of the vehicle he was in but his hand stopped me. A bleeding me asked me what i was doing. I said "well someone has to do something about these freaks". With a smirk i dropped the rock on the pedal. The vehicle skittered up dust as it went full speed out of the vehicle hangar. I went over to arm the bomb knowing i wouldn't have time to get out of the blast zone. Then, out of nowhere something savage filled me. I aimed at a freak's head and pulled the trigger till it almost broke i did the same to 3 others but then, the bomb went off. The future me died with the rest of them. I bet you never noticed this is the present me telling the story right? Well if you were following correctly what i was just telling you happened long ago. So technically I am the new improved future me. Freaky right? Well if you could catch my drift and comprehend what i'm saying you would know.

D-Day 2

The hulking figure carried him to an abandon radio station to tell him whats was going down. He explained the oncoming threat. and how he was the only one who could stop it. Dmitri thought he was getting tricked and started looking for hidden cameras. He didn't know that this was 100% reality and not a joke. The man explained that the creatures wanted something we had. Also that the government wouldn't give it up. For that little reason the world would go into utmost chaos to either keep the mineral obtained. Or to steal it. Humans went into battle with them. Little did they know that they were heading into a war not even the world could handle.

To Be Continued....

Deep Trouble

Did you know there are about 1.2 million daeths a year because of unintentional drowning. when i read Deep Water by William O. Douglas it made me wonder about what he was trying to explain. There were a lot of things I completely loved about the story and very little things I didn't like. First the intro to the story sort of made me know what was going to happen next in terms of the "problem" of the story. Then it quickly threw me off track of what i thought was going to happen by doing some very well written description. Also it made me make a guess on they big W's. Who, what, where, when, and finally how(which is not one of them).

Second, what i think is there is kind of "no plot" so to speak which made it difficult to comprehend the overall "meaning" should i say. It also made it difficult to write about this story. The content of his writing is amazing. His descriptive words made me want to read so much more. The Writing made me feel as if i knew what happend personaly after i read this short story. When the author blends all these things together he makes a awesome non-fictional narritive.

Although the main situation was mostly unclear until the end of the story, although there are many more non-fitional storys on the shleves this is the story i would read many times overr again. Just to understand what he meant by the yellow "tentacles surrounding him and his legs being dead weights and so on and so forth.

All things he used to make the story, in my eye, were almost perfect and i would most definetly read this short story again multiple times before stopping. Its a amazing article about how this man, as a child, was one of the few survivers of death. Awesome story i loved it in every way, and i dont think anyone wouldnt like this story.
