Reading Reading Is this book Fair?


This reading response on is the "Ranger's Apprentice" book three fair? Why/why not? In the world we live in today not everyone is treated fairly. Like all those poor people in the world that go threw starvation, poverty, illnesses, war, and death. And in this book "Ranger's Apprentice" book three is exactly that, unfair. 

. The book the "Ranger's Apprentice" book three is unfair because the king of Araluen doesn’t let Halt go and save Will (the main character) and Evanlny (the king’s daughter from the Skandia warriors. All Rangers swear an oath that the kingdom and King’s orders comes before anything else so he is accused of committing treason when he disobeys the Kings word. In the book it says,” The law sets only two possible punishments for treason, Your majesty,’ … ‘Death or banishment. Nothing else,’ the chamberlain intoned solemnly.  … ‘Halt.’ He spoke firmly, feeling every eye in the room upon him. ‘Former Kings ranger to the Redmont Fief, I hereby, as lord of this realm of Araluen, declare you banished from all my lands and holdings”(Flangan 43). As you see the king banished Halt from all his lands just because he wanted to save his apprentice it’s not fair how Halt just stands there while his beloved apprentice is on a ship that is separating them at every second, that one reason this book is unfair.

 Another reason this book is unfair is because the Skandia Warriors kidnapped Will and Evan. In the book it says,” Kidnapped and taken to a frozen land after a fierce battle with lord Morgarath, Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as captives”(Prolog Flangan). As you see it is not fair because the main character gets kidnapped along with the princess of Araluen. During their time on the ship when they were kidnapped they were not treated like royalty, in fact they were have a bad time. In the book when Evanlny says, ”You mean we could be blown overboard?’ … ‘maybe, ‘he replied to her question. ‘More likely washed overboard by the waves.’ He saw the boy’s (Will) go pale with fear” (Flangan 4). Wills face went pale with fear of the wave, that proves that they didn’t have a good time while being kidnapped so this book is unfair.

  1. I liked how you organized your blog by separating the paragraphs on why you think the nook is unfair. i also liked how you gave good evidence from the book to back up your thoughts. i think you could've worked a little on the ending but dont worry it was good!

  2. I agree with Breanny. You did a really good job organizing. You could have added a conclusion however. You did a nice job adding evidence to support your thesis.
