I predict that futher on in the book Skarr will have to face off against both Saren and Anderson. Skarr is truly the EPITOME if a bounty hunter he was ruthless and would kill anyone for money. As you can tell from this context clue that Skarr is the best example of a bounty hunter since he loves to kill for money. Skarr was a SUPPLANT mercenary for he could not be easily replaced like the others. Skarr is not a mercenary who can be swapped out which is shown in this context clue above. Skarr is truly a strong mercenary who I fear will be hard to take down in the end and will most likely hurt one of the main characters before going out. I have been enjoying many of the foreshadowing in this novel for my mind races with ideas with what might happen next and mostly it’s all been very action packed. Skarr is someone who will not be APPREHENDED so easily for he did not like prison, for those who do not know apprehended in this context clue means to arrest someone one. Skarr is no fool in combat he was no NOVICE, context clue allows us to infer that novice’s meaning is not new to something. The book seems to have taken a twist though since another character had been added an important one at that since Saren happens to be a spectre a secret agent who works basically for the top people in the entire Mass Effect universe. I find Saren to be a very promising addition to the story though since we find out that he is the complete opposite of Anderson who follows things by the rules while Saren breaks most of them and will use any tactic to try to get his mission to be a success. The blues suns soldier could not PACIFY Saren, but made him angrier. Saren was no pacifist he enjoyed hurting to get what he wanted and would do so again. Skarr did not leave the house in one piece, but in complete CHAOS. The house was destroyed most of the furniture tossed and torn from the battle that went on in the house I thought for sure we would see someone be killed in this scene but no one did just injuries on both sides.

I first thought that Skarr was going to be a main character in this story, but then I realized when he almost got killed that he was probably just a mediocre character since he seemed to be expandable if they almost killed him so early on. Mass Effect has a lot of ALIENS for example Turians, Krogans, Salarians, Asari, Volus, and Batarians. Many of these don’t really exist in real life but we can tell that they are foreigner to us. Edan Had’dah is a very AFFLUENT man for example he had cars, women, houses, clothes, jewelry, and bodyguards which is why he payed so much for Skarr to do his job and even accepted to pay him double now that Saren was on to him, which then got me thinking why did such a rich man seem to have been behind the attack of Sidon if he already has so much. Reading this made me thought that Saren must be a dangerous man if even Skarr who is basically a tank is worried about him and almost got killed by him. It has made me overthink about a lot about the story as I continue reading I feel it is easier to fall into this exciting universe of Mass effect many times I think to myself why I haven’t picked this up earlier there is a lot of interesting things in this book that just catches my attention. In many of the fight scenes I can almost see myself there looking on as the fights go on and also feel myself thinking about how I would have combated in the scene. I figured out that I was starting to daydream some of what I was reading since I was reading late one night and after about a paragraph of reading my eyes would just dream of what I had read and it made me dream about it even after I put aside the book and got ready to sleep. I find it difficult to not get ahead of reading at the moment for I just feel like finishing it but I know that if I do that then I won’t be as effective in my third journal if I already read it much sooner than I am supposed to. Thinking now I wonder why I thought that Saren and Anderson would work together for so far they have not shown a single interest in working together to catch who was behind the attack on Sidon it almost seems like neither wants the other to get in their way.
