In this scene d'Artagnan is in a rush to chase of Rochefort whom he wants to avenge himself. He runs in Atho's shoulder, which was already injured and thus Athos invites him to a duel at noon. D'Artagan then goes but he manages to provoke the other two musketeers, Porthos and Aramis. This scene affects d'Artagnan and the other characters because it is how they first met, and later in the duel, they all realize that d'Artagnan did not refuse the duels against three different people, when Athos brings Porthos and Aramis as his backups. This is their first meeting and then there is a conflict, as M. le cardinal's guards find them and they fight. From this point on the three musketeers will befriend d'Artagnan and they will go on adventures together and be involved in the main conflict of the story. "D'Artagnan, furious, had crossed the antechamber in three bounds and was rushing for the stairway, where he counted on going down the steps four a a time, when, carried away by his chase, he ran head first into a musketeers who was coming our of M de Treville's by a side door, and, butting him in the shoulder, made him utter a cry, or rather a howl."(The Three Musketeers.)

A window scene is when d'Artagnan notices Rochefort making fun of his horse and two others laughing. D'Artagnan then goes to provoke them and as a result he gets injured and his letter of introduction for M. de Treville stolen. We can learn that d'Artagnan is a proud man and very courageous, but a little on the reckless side.

A mirror scene is when d'Artagnan leaves his house to set out on his travels, he leaves his parents and his life that he used to live. I can relate to d'Artagnan when he is going because I once traveled abroad for two months I went with my relatives but without my parents. From this we can learn that d'Artagnan is doing this because of perhaps the time the setting takes place or maybe because he feels it is time for him to set out to look for success.

In this scene at the beginning of the book, d'Artagnan is still traveling to give M. de Treville his letter of introduction, written by his father, who was a friend of M. de Treville's. He meets Rochefort, but at this point does not know his name, and he provokes him for laughing at his horse. D'Artagnan gets knocked out in a two on one battle and his letter stolen. ""My letter of introduction!" cried d'Artagnan, "my letter of introduction, sagndieu! or I'll skewer you all like buntings!""(The Three Musketeers). This part of the conflict affects d'Artagnan, for the better because it forces him to rely on himself to get M. de Treville's approval and to get on good terms with him, instead of relying on the letter of introduction by his father. This also helps him befriend M. de Treville in the long run and gain his trust

In this scene, d'Artagnan is summoned to the cardinal, and there the cardinal says that he has been accused of crimes and he will be punished, but d'Artagnan tells him of what they had done, and about Milady de Winter and her evil deeds, how she ruins the lives of others, and how she had been executed. The cardinal is secretly relieved that he had been rid of such a dangerous ally and he considers the future of the 21 year old and gives him a permit to lieutenancy. "Richelieu went on thinking, rolling and unrolling the paper in his hands. Finally he raised his head, fixed his eagle eye on that loyal, open, intelligent physiognomy,  read on that tear-furrowed face all the suffering he had endures over the past month, and reflected for the third for fourth time on how much future this boy of twenty-one had before him, and what resources his activity, courage. and spirit could offer to a good master."(p.668). As a result the cardinal and d'Artagnan are now on better terms, and since Milady de Winter is gone, there is no reason for any malice between them and d'Artagnan become one of the cardinal's friends and Rochefort, the man, d'Artagnan met at Meung  also get to start to know each other, and after some conflict they are now friends. We also learn that the cardinal is not exactly the villain but he instead he is a politician, capable of making cold, cruel decisions but also of generosity and a just appreciation of merits, as we see him think, when interacting with d'Artagnan.

A window scene is when Mme Bonacieux dies in d'Artagnan's arms and then he weeps for her. This is a window scene since I never had lost any loved ones. From this we can learn that d'Artagnan really values his bonds he makes with the people around him and is caring for them, he is like the opposite of Milady.

A window scene is when Milady goes to the convent and finds Mme Bonacieux and probes her to find out how she should trick her into believing that Milady is her friend and not enemy. In reality Milady is her enemy and is trying to take her away before, d'Artagnan comes.

In this scene d'Artagnan and the others are about to arrive at the convent, before leaving Milady poisons Mme Bonacieux's water and flees away. Mme Bonacieux and d'Artagnan are happy to be reunited but only for a fleeting moment, they realize that she has been poisoned and who has done it. After Mme Bonacieux dies, d'Artagnan weeps and Athos comforts him, saying, ""Be a man, my friend: women weep for the dead, men avenge them!""(p.643). As we can see the conflict causes the death of d'Artagnan's beloved and now he and his friends especially he and Athos are now taking the initiative to attack instead of countering and defending against Milady. D'Artagnan and Athos can also relate more to each other as they are the ones most involved with Milady.

# data[].attributes.body
In this scene we see M. de Treville bringing his friends, d'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis and Porthos with him to France, helping d'Artagnan greatly in finally being able to reunite with madame Bonacieux, since they will bring her out of the convent and to safety, away from Milady. "M. de Treville, informed by His Eminence, packed his bags, and as he knew, though without knowing the cause of it, the intense desire and even imperious need his friends had to return to Paris, it goes without saying that he picked them as part of the escort." The conflict is the danger that Milday presents to the people that she doesn't like, and so since they are headed to Paris, because of the leaves that M. de Treville gave to them, the relationship between these characters are more than just workers and boss, (Treville is in charge of the Musketeers) but as friends and equals.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece of figurative language is a metaphor. It compares Milady's situation to an abyss or a hell. It is effective because it shows the readers how dire her situation seems and that she has lost hope and for first time, has these feelings of doubt and fear.

A mirror scene is when Milady pretends to be more relatable to Felton, in attempts to find his weakness and use that to trick him into doing some of her favors which she needs for her plans. I can relate to the character Felton, as he tries to resist persuasion and struggles on what choices he should make.

# data[].attributes.body
A window scene in my book is when Milady uses her cunning and observation to figure out Felton, who works for Lord de Winter and his job to keep guard over her and makes sure she doesn't cross the line. She pretends to be a Puritan also and uses what she has to in the books words, "seduce" Felton and to manipulate him. From this we can learn that it does pay to pay attention to people.

In this scene the lady who was detained reflects that the person who she thought to not be significant, whom she would later get her revenge on her for her pride, was most likely the mastermind behind her being prisoner. "On two occasions her luck had failed her, on two occasions, it was against the fatal genius no doubt sent by the Lord to combat her that she had run aground: d'Artagnan had vanquished her-her, the invincible force of evil." We can see that now Milady has even more reason to hate d'Artagnan and thud even further ruins their relationship, we can infer they go from people with grudges to people who must have to oppose each other at all times, so eternal enemies.

Denotation: Foreign is something that is new and different.

The author uses the phrase, "foreign success" to show that the cardinal is hoping for the enemy to make a mistake that he can capitalize on. The author uses this phrase to show that there is little the cardinal can do left and is now waiting for some random or new luck to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece of figurative language is a metaphor. There are two metaphors in this sentence. The cardinal is comparing Clarick to a snake and to a lion. It is effective because it shows the duality of this character and the author uses this metaphor to describe to the reader how she can be sneaky and cunning like a snake but also brave and bold like a lion. It strengthens that fact she is a difficult enemy for the main character, because she is like this.

In this scene the cardinal is anxiously waiting for news from England, but he won't be getting any because Milady has been detained. I can relate to this character in this way because, whenever you are expecting something to happen it always starts making you more nervous, the more important the matter. We can learn that the Cardinal, although he is very intelligent and his influence reaches far and wide in France, in the end is just man.

# data[].attributes.body
A window scene is when Clarick is going to England to carry out her mission, but she fell into her brother in law's trap and he has managed to detain her, as he has figured her out thanks to the letter from d'Artagnan and his friends. I can't relate to either Clarick or Lord de Winter, but from this scene we can learn its alright to rely on other people to help you, like d'Artagnan as they have managed to stop her for now.

In this scene the cardinal takes a ride around on his horse and he encounters the four musketeers. He inquires about what they are doing off duty. After the cardinal leaves Athos then reassures d'Artagnan and basically tells him not to give up. ""How, in the the wrong!" replied Athos, "Whose, then, is this air we breathe? Whose is this ocean we look out across? Whose is this sand we were lying on? Whose is this letter from your mistress? Are they all the cardinal's? On my honor, this man fancies that the world belongs to him. You were there stammering, stupefied, stunned; one would have thought the Bastille had risen up before you, the gigantic Medusa had turned you stone. Come, is it a conspiracy to be in love? You're in love with a woman whom the cardinal has had locked up. You want to get her out of the cardinal's clutches. That's the game you're playing with His Eminence. This letter is your hand. Why would you show your hand to your opponent? It's not done. If he guesses it, fine! We shall certainly guess his!"(p.532). D'Artagnan is discouraged by the conflict, and has been finding difficulty to find his way to madame Bonacieux. Athos gives him this advice and as a result it strengthens their bond. To Athos, d'Artagnan is like the child that he wants to take care of, as Athos is much older and d'Artagnan a young man.

In this scene that takes place after Lady Clarick was ordered by the Cardinal to assassinate the duke of Buckingham if he does not stop invading France, after receiving the Cardinal's threats to expose him, which in turn would also ruin the queen of France, whom the duke of Buckingham is in love with. D'Artagnan as a result proposes that they write a letter to Lord de Winter, Milady's brother, that warns him about the danger she brings, that she wants to take his inheritance. D'Artagnan who is usually the one to solve issues and conflict head on, with his friends, has been reduced to being on the passive and relying on his friends for ideas because of the conflict between Milady and d'Artagnan.

Denotation: pluck is to apply force when pulling so as to remove something.
Connotation: removable, forcibly removing something.
The author uses the word pluck, when d'Artagnan uses it on Aramis to warn him to keep the letter concise. In this wording pluck has a negative connotation, and can be comparable to a threat in a way. The author uses this to show the urgency that d'Artagnan is in.

This piece of figurative language is personification because it is giving lunch a human trait that is charming, it is also giving lunch the trait of being vivacious or cheerful. It is effective because it helps the reader understand that the musketeers are on good terms with M. de Treville and likewise. It shows the friendship between them despite the difference in rank.

A window scene is when d' Artagnan sends Planchet his servant to London to send the letter to Lord de Winter and to give him an additional message for him to keep on eye on duke of Buckingham because Milady, was sent to assassinate him.

A mirror scene that I can relate to is when d' Artagnan and his three friends are discussing on how to write the letter to Lord de Winter, warning him about his sister-in-law that wants him killed. I can relate to this because when I used to write emails to teachers you start worrying about the wording and if you are getting the message across. We can learn that d' Artagnan is not good at writing letters, while Aramis is.

This piece of figurative language is personification because it is giving the Cardinal's gaze the human trait of running, it also gives fever that same trait. It is effective because it helps the reader get a glimpse of what kind of character this Cardinal is, and we can tell that the Cardinal is also an intelligent and scheming man.

A window scene is when the campaign starts and France starts to defend against the invading English. D'Artagnan and his three friends participate in this and they are separated as d'Artagnan becomes a vanguard. Milady has sent two assassins to get rid of d'Artagnan's life and after they failed the first ambush d'Artagnan realizes this.

D'Artagnan chooses to refuse since, the cardinal's men are the enemies of Treville's musketeers. He also made this decision because he values his friends and says that he will consider his offer after the campaign of La Rochelle.

Denotation: (of a person) polite, friendly , likable
Connotation: Negative because of the context the readers know that she does not like d'Artagnan and as d'Artagnan thinks this to himself the readers can infer that she may be trying to use him for something. Using the word charming forms a contradiction between the adjective and the actual character which adds a negative or suspenseful mood. The author uses this word to show the readers that she is probably up to something.

This piece of figurative language is hyperbole because the author is exaggerating that d'Artagnan is always correct. It is effective because it shows the readers the cleverness of d'Artagnan and how it influences the people around him. We all know that everyone is not always right and there is always room for error. The author uses hyperbole to show that d'Artagnan is one of those people who you find difficult to be wrong, because of the wisdom they have shown or how they think.

A window scene in my book is when d'Artagnan intercepts the letters the Milady is sending to de Wardes, and he replies back in his steed posing as him to get vengeance on her. One day however he is tricked that she loves him also and thus confesses, ""That ring, my love, is in my possession. Thursday's comte de Wardes and today's d'Artagnan are the same person.""(p.399). However, Milady is furious and attemps to kill him. D'Artagnan runs away and now he has to make a plan, because he is certain that she is the cardinal's spy. From this window scene I can learn that being prudent even if you know what a person is like inside it is still hard not to judge by their outside cover.

Denotation: To set something on fire to ignite
Connotation: Something has been lit inside the people. Which is their hunger.

The figurative language used here is a simile. I know this because it compares the shine in his eyes to carbuncles and shows that the rest of his body has gone and deteriorated with old age. It is effective because it shows how the old procureur is and shows how Porthos could take advantage of Conquenard since he cannot move by himself.

A window scene that I can relate to is when Monsieur Porthos visits the house of Coquenard who is a procureur which means that he works for the court of law. The reason for Porthos' visit is because he wants the money Coquenard has, so he uses his connection with Coquenard's wife to start to form a good relationship with him. I can relate to Porthos because he is doing it for the reward, the incentive is his motivation, since Porthos and his three friends have gone broke due to their recent adventure. Often times the things I do in my life are because they are beneficial and so I do them, like doing my homework or reading a book.

I would recommend the book, "The Lost Stories" by John Flanagan. I like the way the author has expressed the characters and how the chapters which are split up into their own stories connect together. My favorite scene was when Will was getting emotional about Tug getting hurt and having to replace him. There was noting bad about the story as it was all well written to connect and make sense. I would recommend this to people who enjoy a historical setting that is realistic fiction but realistic fiction in its own universe.

The theme seen throughout the story is that there is nothing embarrassing with pain and without knowing what kind of pain it is you can't really understand or know that person. In the story Terry asks his father about Vietnam and learns about what happened, "The fire just kept coming and coming, and then incoming mortars, and I heard screams as they hit, but there was nothing to do.  Nothing to do.'" Terry's father tells him of the fear he experienced and how at that moment he died, not literally but he died. Terry learns a bit about his father and why and what kind of pain he is going through and he learned he would no longer be embarrassed if his dad had those moments and would try to understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this phrase means that when his dad's eyes went away I think that refers to when he has Vietnam flashbacks and was in that time instead of the present, which causes those moments when his father breaks. This is what the author meant when Terry's dad's eyes went away bothered him most.

Why does the author start the story by describing Terry's problem? What effect does this have on the reader?

# data[].attributes.body
The author starts the story by describing Terry's problem and then introduces his father's problem which makes Terry's problem seem minor and makes his father's problem more serious. I think the author uses this method to start the story to show the magnitude of the scars the war left behind and the effect on the reader is to get them interested in the story.

# data[].attributes.subject
"'But what happened? What actually caused it? 'I told you, Vietnam.'"

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation: A country in South East Asia
Connotation: Negative because of Vietnam war
The mood or atmosphere is negative because the story is about the Vietnam war and the conflict is about Terry's dad who survived that. Since the conflict comes from the Vietnam war whenever the war is mentioned it is seen as a bad thing, especially when Terry's dad talks about what happened.

"'They didn't shoot me. They came, one of them poked Jackson's body and went on, and they left me. But I was dead. I'm still dead, don't you see? I died because I couldn't stop the sun. I died. Inside where I am- I died.'"

"'They didn't shoot me. They came, one of them poked Jackson's body and went on, and they left me. But I was dead. I'm still dead, don't you see? I died because I couldn't stop the sun. I died. Inside where I am- I died.'"

# data[].attributes.body
A hyperbole is being used in this sentence. I know this because Terry's dad says that he died, but physically he is not dead. This is effective because it helps to portray what was going in in his mind at that time and how the fear affected his rational thinking. It can be interpreted as he believed he was dead because they didn't bother to shoot him or that he lost a part of him, and it left behind a scar in his mind, as if saying the old him is dead and now only the part of him that survived the war is left. The author included this piece of figurative language for the readers to get of glimpse of what people who have gone through war have endured through. It helps the reader understand the conflict and it ends there but it moves on the story in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
The scene that I cannot personally relate to is when Terry wants to talk to his dad about his past, about Vietnam because he wants to help his dad who has war trauma. Terry's dad was in the Vietnam war and he survived but at what cost? This is a window scene because I have never been in war and have not gone through those kinds of experiences. I learned that in textbooks it has the facts but you can never really know the feelings of other people and to do that you have to talk to them.

Hyperbole is being used in this sentence because of it says, "he is the British Government". I know this is a hyperbole because one man cannot be the government but it is saying that he has a very important role in the government. The author includes this because the word government has a powerful connotation and it works well with hyperboles that further emphasizes his importance in the government.

# data[].attributes.body
Personification is being used in this sentence because it says, "the heat was far less oppressive" I know this sentence is giving heat a human characteristic, being an oppressor. It is effective because it is a good way to describe how miserably hot the temperature must have been. The author includes this because it better describes the new setting by contrasting the new setting to the old one.

A scene that happened is that Raven finally sees Brooke as her own sister and no longer blames her for making her dad leave. As a result, Raven and Brooke are closer than they were before. I learned that not all things are restricted by rules, for example in the story they say that there is no such thing as half-siblings like there is no such thing as a half-moon. The story says that they are still sisters and that is a fact.

From this experience I learned that your actions have results and when Raven's father left the consequence was that Raven and her mom had to work even harder to live.

The scene that is unfamiliar to me is the loss of someone important to you. Even though it was sad the students had gratitude and respect for their teacher who had once taught them. From this experience I can learn even if you lose someone or something precious they will leave something behind like feelings of gratitude and such, so it is best to remember what that person left behind.

It helps the reader understand that Sherlock is the type of character who never seems to retire from their job mainly because it is something they enjoy.

A window scene is that the painter from New York came to this town to paint the wall, and the Morris twins think that painter will ruin the town's wall. It turns out the painter didn't want to ruin the wall and wanted to dedicate the wall to Jimmy Lyons and to make it a wall of respect. From this experience I can learn it is difficult to judge what a person's motives are and it doesn't help to judge right away rather we should use actions to determine what kind of person X is and such.

In this scene Hakeem makes a mess of Aleena's room and the sand she was working with I can relate to Aleena's frustration because I have two younger brothers. I can connect to the scene and Aleena because I remember I would also have such feelings over similar things when I was younger.

The scene that is unfamiliar to me is where Hakeem is adopted, this is a window scene because I am not adopted. From this experience I learned that it takes time to get used to a new environment, it not only takes time for yourself but for others too, to acclimate to a new environment when the change is drastic.
