In the storyteller, Sage is in a
very confused position. She still hasn’t made her decision on whether to send
Josef to jail, or to save him and let the past be the past. I think that Sage
might make the decision to have Josef sent to jail because of his deeds. He had
killed many people for just their religion, wiped out almost all of the Jewish
population. I don’t think Sage will let him get away with this crime. But why
doesn’t Sage punish him quick? Why doesn’t Sage just send him off to jail for
his terrible crimes?
Also, I
think that Sage might let him go for his deeds because she has been through a
grief of her own and she does regret that. She might also let him go because he
has grown very close to her. Sage and Josef are close friends, sort of like a
grandfather and granddaughter relationship. Plus, Sage doesn’t seem like a
cruel person. She is very forgiving and very lenient to all. But if she were
lenient, why would she have Josef on a lockdown mode? She is not letting him do
much of anything but stay in a room with food and water.
Connections:
This book reminds me of the War being discussed against Syria. The United
States has been discussing on going to war with Syria but they are holding back
on their decision, sort of like Sage holding back on her decision to punish
Josef. They both are nervous on their decision making because they could
possibly make the wrong decision. Also, this story reminds me of the book the
Lightning Thief because Percy had to make a decision on whether to turn in the
villain, Luke, or let bygones be bygones and join his side. In the Story
teller, Sage also had to make a difficult decision on whether to turn in an old
retired Nazi officer, or to let bygones be bygones and continue the friendship.
Finally, the Story teller reminds me of the time when I was stuck to make a
decision. I had to decide on whether to continue and talk to my friend after
what she did to me, or continue to avoid her. I decided to continue to talk to
her by letting bygones be bygones. We later then became best friends.
This seems like a really interesting book.Why do you have a picture of the lighting thief? Are they similar?
ReplyDeleteI love the connection you made. It helped give an explanation of what is going on in the book. It seems like a great book to read
ReplyDeleteI love how you had several connections in your blog! I had no idea what the book was about because I have never read it, but I have read the Lightning Thief. When you connected it to the Lightning Thief it gave me a ferm understanding of what the book was about. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI like how you included connections to very familiar and modern day things. Including connections really helped me understand what you were trying to convey. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool that you are able to make so many connections in your book! In my opinion, if you can't connect with a piece of text then it's very hard to read. I think it's really unique that you connected it with the war against Syria. As readers we always want to keep our minds open to relate our books with other things.
ReplyDeleteI like all the connections you made and the questions you asked, but i have a question for you, why is there a picture of the lightning thief if the book is called storyteller?
ReplyDeleteKrupa gave a very good summary of the book, so I understood what was going on in the book. She also gave her opinions in what she thought was going to happen. She gave her predictions and why she thought that, and had evidence to back it up. I also liked that she did connections in the book, so she could relate to what was happening. I think Krupa’s blog post could give a little more detail from the book, but overall it was a great blog post.
ReplyDeleteThe connection you had explained really helped put your book into perspective for me. Just a thought, maybe Sage is not lenient but is just trying to protect Josef?
ReplyDeleteYour connection to the real world really helped make sense of the situation in the book.This book sounds very interesting.
