The protagonist in this story is Jack Ryan. He has already been attacked and almost killed. The reason for this is because Ryan has foiled an assassination attempt on the Britsh royal family.

The conflict in the book is the attacks of Voldemort. He sends Death Eaters into Hogwarts to kill Dumbledore. It was Draco's job to kill Dumbledore, but he couldn't do it. Snape had t kill Dumbledore for Draco. Harry had watched the entire thing, frozen on the tower forced to watch.

This book is light versus darkness. Voldemort and his Death Eaters represent the darkness. While the Ninistry, Hogwarts, and all the good wizards represent the light. Most of the Death Eaters' actions are at night, when it's dark and they blend into the shadows. The good wizards' actions are mostly in the day, or light.

Matthew is finished with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5)
I think this book is an overcoming a monster archetype. The Order Of The Phoenix is trying to destroy Voldemt again. I think that Voldemort so the "monster" and
The Order is trying to overcome him. Voldemort makes a few small moves before coming into the open, The Order has been there to stop each movement.

The conflict in this book is character versus character. Harry and the Order Of The Phoenix, versus Voldemort and the Death-Eaters. The Order Of The Phoenix is trying to convince the Ministry Of Magic that Voldemort has returned.

Matthew is finished with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4)
I think that the book is a plot driven story. No matter what the characters do, they'll end up in a bad place. Even when they try to get around without trouble, trouble will meet them. I.e. When Harry and Cedric got to the triwizard cup, and ouch end it, they ended up in a graveyard where Wormtail was helping Voldemort rise to power again. Harry and Cedric didn't want trouble here, they just wanted to win.

A static character in my book is Hermione. She is always trying to be in control. She is a know-it-all. She is trying to be sensible, but her friends, Harry and Ron, are not.

This book is a fiction book. Everything in the book is made up. It's and entertaining and exciting book with events that never happened. In this book, one of the characters can turn into a dog. This, is physically impossible in real life.

In Harry Potter, the archetypes are present throughout the whole story, so far. The hero is Harry. The lover is Ron. The sage is Hermione. The innocent is Draco, I don't agree with this one fully. The magician is Dumbledore, along with all the wizards and witches at Hogwarts, or graduates of Hogwarts. The creators is Voldemort, I think he is more of a destroyer, of physical and mental objects, life and structures.

There are no sympathetic characters that I can relate to because this book takes place over 70 years ago. The main character is left by his parents, not something I can relate to. He is also in the Olympics, something I'd never be able to relate to. He made some choices I do not understand. The main character is Joe Rantz.

I wanted to read this book because it was a gift and looked interesting. When I started, I was instantly drawn into the story of Joe Rantz's life. How he was abandoned, exiled by his step-mother. So far, I don't regret my choice of reading this a book.

I wanted to read this book because it looked interesting. I started reading and was pulled into the story of Joe Rantz's life. How he was abandoned, exiled by his family. He was homeless at one point, until his step-mother died. He went to Washington University after a year of high school where his brother taught.

Matthew is finished with The Throne of Fire (The Kane Chronicles, #2)
Carter is a 16 year-old Egyptian boy. He is the blood of the pharaohs, meaning his ancestors were pharaohs of ancient Egypt. He is the host of the god Horus. Being a host means that a small part of the god's spirit is inside you. If the full spirit was inside you, you'd burn up and die. You could also burn up and die if you aren't strong enough to host a god. He wears light linen so his magic doesn't get interrupted

This book has an alternating chapters structure. Every few chapters, the narration will switch from Carter to Sadie, or Sadie to Carter. Each character will narrate up to 3 chapters in a row, and 30 chapters total, give or take few chapters.

Why did Sadie blow up the doors to the library? I think she blew up the doors to the library because they were locked and she wanted to be a rebel and see what was inside.

Why did Carter throw his cat at monsters? I think Carter threw his cat at monsters so he could get away.

Matthew is on page 75 of 249 of The Ruins of Gorlan (Ranger's Apprentice, #1)
I think Will will become a ranger's apprentice because none of the other specialty masters want him. He and his orphan friends reach age 13, the age they need to be to become a soldier, cook, diplomat, ranger, or scribe. Will's friends get chosen very quickly. When he does not get chosen, he feels left out and depressed. The only specialty master that didn't choose anyone, was the ranger.

Percy Jackson has saved his friends many times. One time, they are strapped to beds being stretched out. Percy asks a question about a bed and Crusty lays down on it. Percy cuts off his legs to make him fit the bed. And he cuts the ropes strapping Annabeth and Grover to their beds.

The main disease in this book, the Flare, has spread all over the world. There is no cure, but the base of this book shows that, a cure is trying to be made. Ebola is, in someways, similar to this, by no cure.

The tone of the book is suspensful. It is suspenseful because the author has many tragedies happen to the characters that the character do survive, but after a lot of suspense.
