Character Symbols Part 2

     Hey, I did this first trimester but now the book has more characters so why not right?

     To start things off on a positive note, here is a picture of a puppy.  Unfortunately, its not just here to be cute and to get people to look at it and go "Awwwww". So lets get down to business. The character Attia is very similar to a dog. While a dog is man's best friend, Attia is like Finn's best friend. Although they aren't actually friends, Attia is grateful to Finn for saving her life. In return she has joined them on there journey to escape Incarceron. She is willing to follow Finn to her doom as well as taste his food to prevent him from being poisoned. This is important because at one point Finn is almost poisoned but Attia tastes it for him and she almost dies from the food. Spoiler, I know. This leads me to the next character, Blaize, who attempted to kill Finn and his group. He is such a downer right?

     Now there is Blaize. He is quite the shady character. He lives alone in a tower that is so high, the oxygen is thin at the top, similar to Mount Everest. Also, he owns a giant, flying, silver, pirate ship that he uses to travel in. I know, its ridiculous. When Finn and his friends were in danger of falling to their deaths, he showed up out of nowhere and saved them. Not only that but he also took them to his tower to rest and eat. This is the blue lens of the glasses; the nice side. But of course, when he finds out that Finn has the key to open Incarceron, he shifts to the red lens. The group was suspicious of him to begin with but now they are almost certain he is after the key. When they are preparing to leave Blaize has cooked them a feast and tells them they can eat what they want before they leave. Then he exits the room. This seems like a pretty nice thing to do right? Nope. Not even close. They all let there guard down and relax and then, Blam! The food is poisoned and someone is dying. So he is kind of a jerk. "As he jerked forward and caught her she crumpled, her fingers tearing at her throat. 'The apple,' she gasped. 'It's burning me!'"(Fisher 328) This is when they realize that Blaize is a murderous psycho who wants to kill all of them. So in a way he is like that thin, pasty weird guy in Lord of the Rings that makes you uncomfrotable whenever he shows up. Whats his name? Oh never mind I'm having a brain fart and I cant remember. GOLEM!! His name is Golem. Sorry got a little out of hand there. Quick, on to the next one before I lose my train of thought.

    

     Finally, there is Queen Sia. She is just like the bunny from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". (If you haven't seen that movie, trust me you should.)  There is this cute, fluffy bunny that this wizard named Tim refers to as The Beast. The knights think it looks like a harmless bunny so they go to slay the beast and when they get close the bunny goes flying at there faces and starts biting there necks and all kinds of gruesome stuff. Its hilarious. So back to Queen Sia; she doesn't look terrifying and vicious, in fact she is small and frail. but don't let that fool you. She is a 100% power hungry, crazy person. She will do anything to trample anyone in her way and maintain her seat on the throne. In fact her family has made the kingdom or country or world that she rules (I am almost done and I still don't know) act like it is the 1700's. They dress in those weird frilly clothes and the guys were wigs with ribbons. They still use technology such as the highly advanced candle as well as the absolutely innovative "Horse and Buggy". Not to mention they even limit medicine. No joke, people die from like, the sniffles. To Sum her up, she is a dangerous control freak like the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Always shouting "off with their heads!" and things of that nature.

     Well that is it for this post. I'm going to make a new one after spring break (which I am pumped for), so I'll be back then. Have fun making snow angels for those of you staying in "warm" and "exciting" state of Ohio.
