https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk As you are reading your fantasy novel in book clubs, please reflect on these two questions. Make sure to make the title as the date. 1. What are some features of fantasy texts you have identified? 2. Why are these features important to this genre? Use examples from your book. en-us 2019-02-26 00:56:11 UTC 2025-12-31 04:19:58 UTC hello@padlet.com pdamroth https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/335162817 1. One of the features of fantasy texts I found was setting. The setting in my text is in a castle in the year 980 AD.

2. Setting is an important feature in genre because it paints the visualization in my head. In my book, the setting is a castle. I'm able to visualize this castle due to the details of it being gray, gloomy, and as it states, "hugely immense in the middle of a creepy orchard meadow." If the setting was changed, that would change the entire story and mood.]]> 2019-02-26 01:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/335162817 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/341685756 Fri Mar 15
1. I found setting. It was garbage can and characters are living there.
2. When if that setting change it can be very different story.(even though it changed in chapter1)]]> 2019-03-15 10:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/341685756 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/342062438 1) One of the feature of fantasy texts that I had found was the setting. The setting in my fantasy texts is in a garbage can and street when the babies were born and was growing up.

2) Setting is an important features in the fantasy texts, because it describes more mood of the characters of what they are doing. In my book, the setting is in garbage can and street. I’m able to know how the character’s mood in that setting of what they are doing. “Car wheels and truck wheels rolling past all day-rubbish and litter-hungry dogs-endless shoes and boots walking, running, stamping, kicking-nowhere safe and quiet, and less and less to eat,” stated “Catwings”. This setting made me think that the cat family aren’t living very wealthy and isn’t in a super good mood. So the setting is an important features in fantasy texts.]]> 2019-03-17 01:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/342062438 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/342095807 March 17

1. The setting, I have realized, is extremely important in fictional texts.
It is one feature I have found in fictional texts. The setting in my book is called the Edge, when there isn’t enough water, (stated in chapter 2)

2.setting is an important feature in genres, because it tells you the place it’s in. That makes you make a better connection to the book. For example, the author in my text mentioned different places in the Edge and made me paint a picture in my brain. To better visualize what is happening.

2. The character in the book makes your emotion, perspective, and understanding of the book change, that’s why characters are this important.

1. Fantasy need setting and characters. Then character use setting to solve problems
2. In my book they use setting(Old barn) to heal one character and also live.

]]> 2019-03-20 03:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158047 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158059 1.One important feature in fantasy is characters. The characters in my story is William, Mrs.Phillipe, the Silver Knight, Alastor the Wizard, Calender the nurse and more.

2.  Character is an important feature because fantasy is basically about a character going on a quest. So if there are no  characters, it is not a fantasy anymore! In my book the main character is William. William is a boy that do gymnastics and is good at it. William is very brave and very gentle. He of also kind if short for a ten year old boy. He went on a quest with sir Simon in another world.

A character can complete challenges which 
makes the story fun and the setting can make 
us picture how does the setting and character 
looks like

2. In my story the setting is the underground 
which is  rusty and old in the present with all kind 
of insects under there that are bigger than human]]> 2019-03-20 03:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158377 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158522 One  of  the features of fantasy that I found was the character. Every character is unique. For example, the crewmember  Stope bolt jaw :” completely lost his bottom jaw.” . Without him, the story would have lost a valuable crewman to the STORMCHASER. ]]> 2019-03-20 03:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158522 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158754 1. Fantasy need setting and characters. We use characters to solve the problem, we also can give examples for the main character, not other characters.
2. In my book, they use a few settings (house, forest, castle, magical land) to make the story more interesting and fun.]]> 2019-03-20 03:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158754 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158897 One of the features of fantasy texts I found was setting. The setting in my text is inside a tiny castle inside the main character’s house

The setting is an important feature in genre because it’s where everything is happening . If they don’t tell me where the setting is, I’m unable to visualize in my head about the story. For example in my book, it discribed the setting clearly and nicely, so I could visualize and keep in track about what’s actually happening in my story. (Page10,11,12)]]> 2019-03-20 03:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158897 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158971 One of the important thing I found was characters . 
 In my book one of the main characters is twig. I f he changed then so would characters around him.]]> 2019-03-20 03:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158971 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158998 1.the setting is garbe can the character lived.
2.if setting change it can be different story like where they lived.

]]> 2019-03-20 03:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343158998 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159096 The setting of that book is underland. The beginning of the story happened in George’s laundry room. He fell down to the underland from the laundry room, and the story continued in Regalia, a city in the underland. In chapter 2 it said, “Behind the curtains of wings, Gregor could hear his voice beckoning. “Gregor the Overlander, welcome to the city of Regalia!” Then the story moved on to Crawlers’ (Roach) territory. Afterwards they went to the Spinners’ (Spider) territory. At the end of the story they were at the Gnawers’ (Rats) territory. At the very end they went back to Regalia after finishing the quest (Prophecy of Grey). At last they went back to the overland. The setting is very important for fantasy stories, because usually fantasy stories happen in a imaginary (made-up) world from the authors mind. The author described the setting very clearly. For example, the author explained that the Gnawers’ (Rats) territory is very smelly, stinky, dirty, dark & chilly.]]> 2019-03-20 03:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159096 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159105 1) An important feature of fantasy texts that I found was the character. The characters in my fantasy texts are Themela, James, Roger, and Harriet. And it happened when they were living away with their parents.

2) Character is an important features in the fantasy texts, because it describes more details about how the fantasy texts will go on base off of what is character’s power or what does character likes to do etc. “All four of her children had wings,” stated “Catwings” Based off of  how characters looks like, what power do they have, and what is their personalities, it gives me many details. So characters are important features in the fantasy texts.]]> 2019-03-20 03:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159105 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159202 1. One of the features I found was problems. The problem I found was internal and external. It was Lina’s problem. She had to chose between staying with her family, or leaving the city. In the book, Lina worried, ""How could I leave Puppy? And not even say goodbye to her?" 
2. Problems are important features in fantasy, because in my book, Lina had to chose between leaving or staying, but she had to leave. The guards were chasing her and Doon, so if she didn’t run away, she would be caught. If the problem changed, she wouldn’t have to leave the city far away from her family.]]> 2019-03-20 03:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159202 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159249 A important thing that I found in fantasy was settings. These are really important because they influence the story and how the characters act. For example, one of the settings in my story, twilight woods, is:” really dark and sinister”. This creates a nice backstory.]]> 2019-03-20 03:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159249 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159268 March 20
1. One of the features of fantasy texts I found was settings. The settings in my book was the Attic in Williams house and in another magical world in the Castle.
2. Setting is an important feature in genre because I can visualize the picture in the story for an example: “William heard the crank of the windless as the portcullis was raised. The heavy doors were pushed slowly open by two soldiers” so this tells me that there is the Castle. If there will not be any settings then we wouldn’t know where the characters are.]]> 2019-03-20 03:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159268 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159311 The setting of the book is in the undeland. In the beginning, Gregor was doing laundry and then, he fell down the hole with his youngest sister Margaret. But, Gregor and his family calls her Boots. The place in the Underland where they were found by Luxa and Vikus and were sent by roaches (cockroaches) to Regalia. At the climax, they were on the quest where they needed to save his dad but, Henry, 2 Spinners (spiders), 1 roaches died. And they succeeded to save their dad and go back to the Overland]]> 2019-03-20 03:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159311 26ag01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159395 I think that the themes is one of the most important things in my book because if they’re is no theme then the book would be very confusing and thing. I also think that the setting is very important because if you do not know the setting then it would be terrible. Like in my book, there is a lot of different settings and when it changes it has to tell the setting on more time.]]> 2019-03-20 03:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159395 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159556 1) I found that the setting is the garbage can and Catwings (the character in the story)and their mom were living there.

2) Stories always changes and make the whole story change. In my book, it changed at chapter 1. Catwings left their mom and they lived by themselves.]]> 2019-03-20 03:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159556 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159827 March 20

1. Another important feature in fantasy is problems. In my book there are several obstacles waiting for the characters to learn 

2. In fantasy, problems are always waiting... for example, these are the challenges I know
*shipwreck because of Twig
* Spleeth betrayding the crew
* They abandoned their ship because Spleeth’s betrayal, and the great storm wrecked the ship
* Twig was alone
* Deepwood magic cursed people ...
* Therefore the crew members were cursed, and went away lose friends
Example: 
 P.242 states “ Cal! Them cried out, Cal, answer me, he began struggling more violently.  Let me go he boomed....let him go Hubble. As Twig watched him go away,tears welled up in his eyes.” This is a depressed challenge of loosing friends.

*]]> 2019-03-20 03:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159827 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159871 I think the theme is very important because the theme is the part that makes the story not confusing but if the theme had changed  then the whole book would have to be changed. You also need the setting because if you don’t know the setting then you have no idea where the people are and you will be super confused. You also needed to learn about the characters or else  will get confused of how is talking.]]> 2019-03-20 03:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159871 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159919 2. Another feature in fantasy is that there are a bunch of extra characters that either helps the main character or try to stop the main character. For example, Spleethe was playing as a good guy but he was actually trying to fail the main character. I also realized that some characters that does something in the beginning appears again in the end in a heroic way.]]> 2019-03-20 03:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343159919 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343160585 1. One of the features in fantasy texts I found was the setting. The setting in my text is in The City of Ember in Ember School Room 8.

2. Setting is an important feature in genre because it tells about the place it is talking about. That makes you visualize better in your head. For example in the book “The City of Ember” in chapter 1 paragraph 1 states “In the city of Ember, the sky was always dark. The only light came from great flood lamps mounted on the buildings and at the tops of poles in the middle of the larger square.]]> 2019-03-20 03:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/343160585 pdamroth https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/344082143 Another feature of fantasy texts is that of a character having power. For example, in my story the evil queen is certainly the character with power. I know this because she has magical abilities and all the other characters "quake with fear at her presence." She can even turn those that don't do her will into stone statues!

A character with power is an important feature in the fantasy genre because that is normally where the problem / conflict comes from. Had it not been for this evil queen, the main characters would not need to go on their quest. This would alter the entire plot and the story would definitely not be as interesting as it is now.]]> 2019-03-22 05:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/344082143 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/345163355 1) Another feature of fantasy texts that I found was the problem. One of the problem in my fantasy texts is that Thelma, Roger, James, And Harriet’s new little sister couldn’t fly all the way to the old barn. And it happened when they meet Jane.

2) Probelm is a important features in the fantasy texts, because it describes and makes me think of what will happen next or how the probelm is going to solve. “When they had eaten and drunk she spoke again. “Do you think the kitten can fly well enough to go back to your country home with you?”” stated “Catwings Return”. And that one short quote made me think what will happen next or how is the problem going to solve.]]> 2019-03-26 10:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/345163355 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/346098858 1) Another feature of fantasy texts I found was characters having power. For example, in my story the mayor of Ember has power. I know this because everyone has to respect him and he rules the whole city.

2) Characters are important features in fantasy texts, because the author can base on the characters and describe their feelings and let readers infer what is happening around the character(s) or what is happening in the story. In the book “The People of Sparks”, page 103 paragraph 1 to 7, it describes the characters Lina and Doon chatting, and I can tell that Doon is nervous based on the paragraphs 1 to 7, I can infer that Doon is nervous. In paragraph 7 it states, “A burst of laughter came from the group of boys around Tick Hassler. Doon glanced over at them.”

]]> 2019-03-28 12:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/346098858 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347067085 1) An important feature of fantasy texts that I found was character having power. In my fantasy texts, the power that the characters have is that they could fly. And they had the power since when they were born.

2) Character having power is an important features in fantasy texts, because character having power could normally change the whole story depending on what’s their power. And the Catwings didn’t had wings, first, the whole book wouldn’t be named “Catwings”. Second, they won’t be able to solve the problem which is that they should leave the trashcan if they didn’t had their wings. Third, obviously they won’t be able to solve their problems. And also, the other Catwings book’s story could change depending on characters power. For example, in the book “Catwings” and “Catwings Return” The Catwings won’t be able to leave the trashcan and live happily with Susan and Hank. “........They spread their wings and flew up, over the alley, over the roofs, away,” stated “Catwings”. So they were able to leave the trash can because of their power having wings. And also, in the second book, James and Harriet won’t be able to fly back to meet their mom and find Jane. “Harriet And James we’re flying along through a fine, soft rain,” stated “Catwings Return”. Harriet And James won’t be able to fly back to meet their mom if they didn’t had their power which was being able to fly. And in the third book, if Jane didn’t had wings, she won’t be able to find Alexander and rescue him. “.......He saw a bird flying straight towards him, coming nearer and near.........One branch at a time, step by step and paw by paw, she led home down and down the tree, always showing him the way and waiting for him. If Jane didn’t had wings, she won’t be able to find Alexander and help him get down the tall tree. This feature could change the whole story if the powers that characters have had changed.]]> 2019-04-01 08:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347067085 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347117458 1.Fantasy need setting and character who has powers in we are book characters are cats and peoples and the some cats they have wings so they can fly if character Changes the story will be changes and if setting changes it can be really different story.
2. Characters are important feature in genre because characters make us want to read more and if there is no characters it will be boring and there is no quest to ask about book cat wing.]]> 2019-04-01 11:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347117458 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423504 1. The problem in the book The Battle For The Castle, is the rats is trying to take over the castle. I know this because the whole book is about that. The main characters is William and Jason. They appeared on the first book too.  In chapter 15, the rats start the fight.

2. The problem is important because without the problem ,it will not be a fantasy! And the characters are important because without them, there will not be a quest, which will make the book super boring.]]> 2019-04-02 00:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423504 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423568 Tue Apr 1
1. I found character that have power it is susan and hank.
2. It was important to story because they feed and gave home to catwings. In the book it said “Then all at once all four cat s came plummeting and loop the looping down with hungry mews and happy meows to breakfast” so it showed me that cats is hungry so they want to get food from Susan and Hank. When they give up to doing that catwings story absolutely changed. Like when king give up people that live on country.]]> 2019-04-02 00:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423568 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423576 1.One of the important features in fantasy texts are characters. I just finished my 2 stories, “The Castle in the Attic” and  “The Battle for The Castle.” Both story has similar characters, except it’s just slightly different. My story’s main character was a boy named William, he’s short, but truely a gymnast.

2. Characters are important. I mean, duh.... Buts more specifically, WHY? Oh, it’s because they are the main things in a story. They are the one who actually does the hole thing! For example in my story, the main character goes on an adventure 2 times. Once by himself from the Castle in the Attic, and another time with his best friend, Jason, in the Battle for the Castle. It all started from the Castle that Mrs. Phillips gave William in Chapter 1 of the Castke in the attic. So, if characters aren’t there, the story wouldn’t flow! So that’s why characters are an important feature of fantasy.]]> 2019-04-02 00:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347423576 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347478886  April 2
In the book The Castle in the Attic the characters, settings, and problems were very interesting because for characters there is the evil wizard, Alastor and a knight called Sir Simon who is trying to kill Alastor with William, in page 32 to 38 when the knight was telling why he needs to kill Alastor. For settings the story starts in Williams house Attic and then in the middle of the book it is in another world there is a gigantic castle in page 107 to 108 where it said that William and Sir Simon was going in to the other world. For the problems it was actually interesting because like I said in page 32 to 38 Sir Simon said the story about the proble that Alastor was making the people in the magical world all cursed or still. In the book The Battle for the Castle the characters are William, Gudrin, Jason, Brian, Dick, Deegan, Sir Simon and the evil rats. The settings are still in Williams house attic and the other world with the castle. The problem is that the rats are coming to the Castle to destroy the people and eat them.]]> 2019-04-02 06:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347478886 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347481317 1) When Catwings were finding their mother they  found another little cat so they know their mother must be near because they knoe their mother won’t leave her baby alone.

2.it important to story because  they promise don’t tell secret and gave food and try good to the catwings I feel Susan and Hank is amazing.]]> 2019-04-02 09:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347540891 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347635759 1.One of the features I found was settings. In the "City of Ember" and the "People of Sparks", the main setting changes dramatically. From the City of Ember underground to the Village of the Sparks above. In the book, it explained, “The people from the dying city of Ember had come up into the new world only a few days before.” 
2.Settings are very important in Fantasy, because the changes in them can create a conflict. In the "People of Sparks", the people of Ember moved to live with the people of Sparks. Later on, the characters face many conflicts. That lead to the war of the two groups. If the setting didn't even change, then the whole book will be about an another completely different story. ]]> 2019-04-02 14:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347635759 26ag01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347872083 In my book which is call The People Of Sparks one of the major features of fantasy is the problem. The problem changes through my book, first its that The People Of Sparks don’t have enough food and shelter to keep The people of Ember in. Then the problem is that the people of Ember do not know about anything because they have been living in a cave. They dont even know what a chicken is! the setting is also very important because the author of the city of sparks really describes the town of the sparks people so that means it is very important. Another one is that he describes the character really well so the reader can imagine the characters and what they are facing including there characteristics.]]> 2019-04-03 00:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/347872083 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/348092294 1) Anothor feature of fantasy texts I found was the problem of the story. For example, in my story the main problem was tat the people of Sparks wanted to let the people of Ember go, but the people of Ember wanted to stay, so they started a fight. I know this because in this chapter it talks about how the people of Sparks were so angry and the people of Ember was frustrated of doing work and didn’t want to go.

2) Problems are important in fantasy texts, because if there are no problems or conflicts the story would be boring, it’s like heart beat sometimes it goes up sometimes it goes down, without problems the story would be “dead”. For example in the book The People of Sparks in page 294, the problem is that the weapon exploded which made the whole lobby on fire on the surroundings, nand the people of Sparks and the people of Ember were trying to rescue people from the fire.]]> 2019-04-03 14:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/348092294 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349115697 Being a sophisticated reader of fantasy, we consider character’s internal and external quests. It is important, because in helps the readers learn the theme, and helps the author express the theme. 
For example,  in my book, City of Embers. Doon and Lina both have a very important quests which is saving Ember, when no one tried really hard before. Thus they are heroic, and a very well up stander. The level I will rate this is 5, because it is both an internal and external quest. To take action when they will get in trouble for it. Also really to do it by  doing step by step, and figure how which is external. An example is in page 182-183

Another features of fantasy was the problem. One of the main problems was that the people of sparks wanted to kick the people from ember out but the people from ember wanted to stay so then a fight started. 

2.
The problem is very important to the story because people would just get along and I’m not saying that is a bad thing but it would definitely make the story really boring 😪.]]> 2019-04-06 08:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349133015 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349222779 1.all fantasy book needs a setting and a character, and a problem that your character needs to solve.
2. In the underground there a lot  of big bug bigger than humans, in real life that is not possible ]]> 2019-04-07 07:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349222779 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349318780  Fantasy stories should include a lot of problems. In Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, a lot of problems appeared in the story. “No Overlander,” said Ares. “The punishment for treason is death.” There’s a lot of problems in fantasy stories. Some are big problems and some are small problems. Ares the bat and Gregor the Overlander is going to be punished and killed. Over some kind of mysterious adventure the problem will be solved. “Nerissa looked up, as if she was surprised at her surroundings. “Trials? For the warrior? Of course there will be no trial! He has saved the Underland.” She got to her feet, using Vikus for support, and saw the other defendants staring at her. She gave them a small smile, but directed her next line to Ares. “And all who helped him are held in highest regard.” Overall, the problem came to the solution. Fantasy stories should also be mysterious at some point. The author left a mystery in the end. “But what would happen when the Bane grew up in a year or so? Would it become the monster predicted the prophecy, or an entirely different creature?” The author left it a mystery for the reader. The author probably wants the reader to read on to the next book. Fantasy stories always have well explained settings. “It’s a round, large shaft, very deep, half-filled with water. The serpents sleep on its floor,” said Twitchtip.” The author explained the Tankard (tunnel-like cave) throughly so the reader can picture the setting.]]> 2019-04-07 23:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349318780 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349319261 2019-04-08 00:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349319261 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349321364 1. The setting in the book Gregor and the prophecy
of bane is in the present in the under ground that has
 insects that are bigger than human

2. The setting is an important feature in the book ,
because if there isn’t the setting ,then the big insect
in the underground will crawl up in the over world
and need to complete the quest on the overland]]> 2019-04-08 00:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349321364 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349774684  In Gregor the Overlander The Prophecy Bane, there was a lot of problems but the main problem was where the prophecy said to kill the white rat, Bane. He didn’t want to kill the rat because it was a baby, but people thought that when it grew up it would do something bad to Regalia, and they thought Gregor as a traitor. Another problem was not being able to find Luxa. She was the queen of Regalia and all of a sudden, she was missing! People thought that she left, or she sacrificed for Boots, Nobody knows.]]> 2019-04-09 02:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/349774684 pdamroth https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350646080 We have been learning a lot in our minilessons with Mr. D and in practicing these skills and observing these features in book club. For instance, I now am knowledgeable that fantasy novels have themes... and not just one theme, but many themes. In the book "Harry Potter," I uncovered that one of the main themes was bravery. I know this from the quote in "The Prisoner of Azkaban" in chapter 3 which says, "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

Themes are an important feature in fantasy texts. Without themes, the reader won't be able to learn a lesson alongside the main character. Also, the main character's motivation typically comes with the theme and the theme results from the problem / conflict happening. Without the theme, all of these elements will be lacking.]]> 2019-04-11 05:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350646080 pdamroth https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350647645   In my book ''Gregor and the prophecy of bane''the theme is bravery , because Gregor is about to go hunt down the bane and Gregor needs to fight against a giant squid in the ocean and when he is fighting the squid he almost lost his hand and Temp lost two leg during the battle , because of that i think the theme is bravery 

Themes are important in a a fantasy , because without themes you can't learn in a fantasy and the themes are usually the things that make adventure or other exiting things. For example if there is not a theme there will be no adventure , because during an adventure you will always learn a theme like bravery and fate...]]> 2019-04-11 05:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350647645 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350647874 1) one of the feature in fantasy is characters . The characters in the dragon in the sock drawer is Emmy the dragon(page 37), Jesse the boy(page 3), and Daisy the girl(page 3).

2) the characters is important because most fantasy must have characters so they can go on a quest. And a lot of fantasy is about a character or characters going on a quest. So without characters the stoery will be super boring or there will not be a story at all.]]> 2019-04-11 05:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350647874 26ag01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648191 So one of the features in my book is the setting. The setting changes a lot in my book, first it starts of in The City Of Ember, then it goes into the town of City of sparks, then they tried to go back to ember but Doon got caught but he escaped and then they went back to the town of the people of sparks.]]> 2019-04-11 05:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648191 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648324  
1. Setting is a very important part of the story.

2. It is important because if there is not setting they could be at home or at an abandon factory and you would not even know where, you would be very confused and you would want to put the book down because you’d have know idea where the heck they are. ]]> 2019-04-11 05:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648324 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648647 1.The important theme in Dragon Slayer is inequality. 
2.Because Wiglaf persuade his farther for saying ”Well, you said I am no use to you in the cabbage fields anyway” even though he is not bad at working at cabbage fields his father said that because of his hair color and height and if his dad did not said that and use him very well, he not gonna send him. But he said it. so Wiglaf persuade him to saying that. So this theme is important to this story.]]> 2019-04-11 05:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648647 26vl01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648763 1. I think settings is the most important because it tells us where the characters are. If there’s a book without setting, you would think is boring and you’ll put it back. People have to know where the characters are! We have to imagine where they are and what they are doing.

2. I think characters is also the most important because if there’s a book without characters, it would be very boring (“once there was a story” the end). We also need characters to show where they are and who they are, we also need to imagine it.

3. I think theme is also also important because we have to learn alongside the main character and we also have to learn from books. If a book don’t have a theme, it will be boring and I’ve heard that most fantasy.]]> 2019-04-11 05:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648763 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648811 1) An important feature of fantasy texts that I found was theme. In my fantasy texts, one of the themes were inequality. 

2) Theme is an important features in fantasy texts, because, if there was no theme like inequality, whole story could change, because Wiglaf was sent to DSA (Dragon Slayers’ Academy) because his family neither liked him or loved him, and he was no use to them so that’s why he was sent to DSA and in “Dragon Slayers’ Academy” it said, “”I shall send Wiglaf to the dragon school! He is no use to me in the cabbage fields anyway!” So if there was no theme like inequality, the whole story would change, because the book title won’t be Dragon Slayers’ Academy and all the things will be changed!]]> 2019-04-11 06:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350648811 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649119 1. One of the features I found was themes. In "The Diamond of Darkhold", the theme is do not fail the chance. After Doon was captured by the intruders in Ember, he escaped in the night. While everyone was sleeping, he got the chance and escaped. In the page 185, it said, "Finally, a possibility came to him."
2. Themes are very important in Fantasy, because themes can lead to the solutions. In "The Diamond of Darkhold", the theme is do not fail the chance. Thanks to the theme, Doon escaped from the intruders in Ember. In page 124, it said, "He had to get away now." And, he did! If the theme changed, he would not be able to escape there.]]> 2019-04-11 06:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649119 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649136 The setting is important because if there was one setting there would be no solution.
" People of Ember,
 we came down the river from the Pipeworks and found a way to another place. It is green here and very big. Light comes from the sky. You must follow the instructions in this message and come on the river.”
This shows that the other place was the solution.]]> 2019-04-11 06:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649136 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649240 1) the theme is super important. One of the theme in the dragon in the sock drawer is responsibility. In the book Jesse and Daisy need to take care of their drargon Emmy, and caring for a dragon takes a lot of responsibility.

2) theme is important for a fantasy story because every fantasy story weather it is long or short must have a theme! Without a theme it won’t really be a fantasy since you need to learn alongside the characters which basically means learn from the theme that the characters experience!

]]> 2019-04-11 06:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649240 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649415 1) Theme is important. In Dragon Slayers Academy, The New Kid At School, Wiglaf (the main character in this book) is very brave because he killed one dragon, Gorzil since he was a new student in the school. He killed a huge dragon by himself and he killed it by the dragon’s secret weakness, bad jokes. 

2) Wiglaf killed another dragon, Seetha ( Gorzil’s mom) ,too! Even though that he kiiled her by accident (Seetha’s secret weakness is bath but Wiglaf didn’t push her in the river(Wiglaf didn’t know Seetha’s secret weakness, so it was a accident) , Seetha didn’t stand well so she slid down from the roof and fell into the water and of course she died after a while.]]> 2019-04-11 06:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649415 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649612 1. One important feature in fantasy is problem and solution. In my story, the problem was protecting Emmy from St. George.
2. The problem is important because if we don't have any problems, there won't be any reason WHY we should read fantasy. Not only in fantasy, but in other books, too. For example in my story, the two main characters has to protect a dragon called Emmy from St. George who's trying to eat Emmy's blood!! It's in page 100, and it continues till the end. But, if we don't have problem, the story isn't going to flow, and it is going to end at the introduction. No one would read books like that. So, this is why problems and solutions are an important feature in fantasy.]]> 2019-04-11 06:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649612 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649623 Explaining the setting is very important for fantasy stories. In the story, the author described the setting with a lot of details. “He took in the stone bleachers that rose up around a stage that sat right in the middle of the circular room.” The author described the room with a lot of details. Fantasy stories should also include lots of details, so the reader could picture what was happening. “At first,  there was just a faint scratching in the wall. Then a skittering sound. And suddenly, it was as if the kitchen were alive. Scores of small, clawed feet were running around and around inside the walls. Only a thin layer of plaster separated Gregor and his parents from them.” The author told us about the scratching from the rats, and the author explained it with details.]]> 2019-04-11 06:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649623 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649713 April 11
In the book called “The Dragon in the Sock Drawer” the main characters are Jesse, in page 5 it explained of how Jesse look, another character is Daisy, in page 5 it also explained of how Daisy looked like, the 3rd main character is Emmy (who is a dragon), in page 34 it explained of how Emmy looks too, lastly there is Saint George, in page 100 to 101 it said of how Saint George look (he is the bad guy). The settings are high peak in page 1 to 10, the rock shop in page 11 to 15, Uncle Joe and Aunt Maggie’s house (mostly) in page 17 to 44, library in page 57 to 69, lastly Saint George’s den in chapter 8.]]> 2019-04-11 06:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649713 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649734 1) One of the features I found in fantasy texts was themes. For example, in my story one of the themes was friendship because Lina and Doon were both each other and their friendship really important to the whole story.

2) Themes are important in fantasy texts, because themes leads to solutions of the book, and it also teaches us a lesson from the story but the author woudn’t say “The theme is: .....” it would tell the story but the reader has to figure out the theme. For example, one of the themes I found was you have to do the right thing even though something really bad happens, because in The People of Sparks book in page 302, it says, “The others pulled her forward into danger, urging her to do what she suddenly knew was right.”]]> 2019-04-11 06:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350649734 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650307 1) the setting in the book the dragon in the sock drawer is Daisy’s house, and high peak mountain. In the second book the setting is Daisy’s house and the garage and a college the zoology part of the college and gold mine city, forest, a mine and a underground world.

2) a setting is super important to a fantasy because every single fantasy must must must have a setting. Without a setting, basically means there are not going to be any story at, all!]]> 2019-04-11 06:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650307 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650338  In beginning, Gregor has a new Prophecy, prophecy of blood. His dad and Gregor were planning to go to meet Vikus, but his mom doesn’t allow him to go. So, Ripred told the rats in the Overland to make squeaky noise and try to reach to them until his mom will allow him to go and his mom was too pissed off. In page 55 it says,""All right!” screamed his mother."They can go!” It’s like someone had thrown a switch. The rat noise instantly.” That tells me that it’s really important that Gregor needs to go. Boots, his mom, and Gregor went to Regalia and went to take to take a check if had the plague and it occurs that Pandora, Howard’s bat, Howard, Ares, Andromeda. Now Gregor is going to go on the Prophecy to find the cure.]]> 2019-04-11 06:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650338 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650555 2019-04-11 06:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650555 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/350650615 1. Setting is a very important element in fantasy text, because if there is only one setting there will be no quest or solution. The setting in my book changed throughout the book.

2.  In my book, from chapter 1-18, the setting is in Ember. Then the setting changes during pipeworks -  the river, located in chapter 18. At last when they finally escaped from Ember, they were in the real world states in chapter 19-20

If there isn’t a solution, the main characters would find another way to solve the problem.“Who knows? Our job is just to keep it from breaking down. If a part breaks, we got to put a new one. If a part freezes up, we got to oil it. I’ve been working on the generator for twenty years. It’s always managed to chug along, but this year. . . I don’t know. The thing seems to break down every couple minutes,” said one of the pipe workers, this is a big problem for Ember and the citizens of Ember, but there is always a solution.

Fantasy stories should have lots of dialogue too, characters should be interacting with each other throughout the whole story. In Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane. “Luxa! What are you doing?” gasped Gregor. “What are you doing, Overlander? Here in the jungle in the company of rats?” she asked coolly. What was she talking about? What was going on? “We needs rats!” sputtered Gregor. “You don’t understand!” In the story, there were lots of talking going on, and the author explained each characters feeling and emotions. In that part, the author described the characters emotions and thinking. In fairy tales there should also include a lot of setting description. “They were vines. Thick, ropy vines that wove in and out of one another and towered high above his head. From them issued a humming sound that was vaguely mechanical. There were clicks and whirrs and taps. The whole jungle buzzed with life.”  The author described the jungle they were in. If the author didn’t describe the setting, the readers won’t be able to get what was going on, and the reader won’t be able to picture what was happening in the story. Setting description is very important for fantasy stories. Throughout the story, the characters came across a lot of difficult problems, and they had to find out the solution and move on. Describing the setting and explaining the characters emotion really helped the reader to picture they story in their mind. Descriptive setting and dialogues are very important in fantasy stories]]> 2019-04-16 06:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351887463 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351889617  Gregor lived in New York City. When he first fell into the Underland, he was scared and he was worried that he couldn’t go back to the Overland. During the Prophecy Of Grey, he built up his confidence and was braver by the second.

He was a scaredy-cat in the beginning, and he was irresponsible. But throughout the story, he became brave and more responsible. He fought rats in the Underland, he persuaded cockroaches & he helped his friends and companions. In the story it said, “No problem,” said Gregor, but inside he wasn’t so sure.” This part is when Gregor just arrived in the Underland. He was scared and he was afraid. After going through a big adventure he became a new character. In the end he was brave and strong.]]> 2019-04-16 06:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351889619 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890097  1. I found that Character’s change is important to have in fantasy books.
2. If there is none of character’s change in my book it going to be very different. In my book, if Wiglaf do not change then Wiglaf can’t kill dragon. He going to just run away and doing nothing. So character’s change is important to fantasy books]]> 2019-04-16 06:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890097 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890216 Character Transformation is important because it describes the characters. It would be different because Lina and Doon would not have the guts or brains to do what they must do.]]> 2019-04-16 06:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890216 26vl01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890233 1. The features I have identified is setting and dragons because Jesse and Dasiy need to take care of Emmy (the dragon) and keep Emmy away from St George (he drinks dragon’s blood in order to keep him alive for decades!).

2. These features are important because if you don’t have dragons, it’ll be a very very very very BORING book.

One of the important features of fantasy is the Cha gets the characters go through throughout the story. For example, Lina and Doon both were just normal kids in the City Of Ember, but now they are like the leader of all of the people of Ember. They now love adventures and they are both risktakers .]]> 2019-04-16 06:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890251 26el01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890315 1.Charecter transformation
2. If there is no Charecter transfornation, then the story can't happen.]]> 2019-04-16 06:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890315 26ag01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890396 2019-04-16 06:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890396 26ag01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890402 2019-04-16 06:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890402 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890706 1)  the most important feature in fantasy is character. The characters in the book “ The Dragon In The Sock Drawer “, Jesse and Daisy, and Emmy the dragon and St. George. They are the main character.

2) characters is important to fantasy because every single fantasy must must must have at least 1 character! Fantasy is basically about a character going on a quest. Without character it will not be a fantasy!]]> 2019-04-16 06:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890706 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890921 The character’s transformation is a very important feature in fantasy. That’s because it helps the author express the theme, and it makes the reader learn alongside the character. In my book Lina and Doon before there quest is young, tempered, because when Doon got the job messenger, he crumbed the note and threw it to the ground. Also Lina is afraid of people in power, because when she got found by the Mayor on the roof, the first day delivering the massage, she was afraid. But during the quest, getting out of Ember Lina and Doon, are risk takers , brave, perserve, and carring for ech other (Lina and Doon) trying to find the way out of Ember. Also when Lina is captured by the Mayor, she turned brave. Then after the quest, they turned mature, experiencing the difficulty of the dragons, risktaking ,  carring and kindness, when they informed their Ember people. 
So overall, the theme is caring, bravery, risktaking , perserve, and kindness]]> 2019-04-16 06:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890921 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890941  1) Another important feature of fantasy texts that I found was character transformation. Character transformation in my fantasy text is Wiglaf being braver and braver after he had killed the dragon called Gorzil and his mom Seetha.

2) Character transformation is an important features in the fantasy texts, because if there is no character transformation, there will be no character’s being changed. And in fantasy texts, when the character meets a dragon (problem), he or she will learn something about that dragon and be changed. And in my fantasy book, it said that Wiglaf was a boy who couldn’t even swap a fly, and later, it said that he had killed two dragons by himself and became braver and braver because of killing dragons by his friends help, by cheering him up, and Ziznocs help, by giving him a magic sword and telling him Gorzil’s secret weakness.]]> 2019-04-16 06:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890941 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351890984 The most important feature in fantasy is Characters. In my story, I'm going back to the book The Castle in the Attic, and the main character, William, has to go through some challenges, which taught him a lot.
As I mentioned, characters are important. Like, really important. In my story, the character learns things, too. My character learns how to be responsible, and do things himself. The cool thing was, that I also learned alongside the main character. I learned that I shouldn't act just the way I want to, but the way that I had to. I learned this because of William. When he was defeating Alastor, he had to be a Risk taker, because he had to do things by himself. I learned that I should too, and I learned a lot of things firm this book

The settings are in William’s house attic, another world and there is a big Castle there. The problems is that Alastor is taking over the magical world and if people doesn’t listen to him, Alastor would turn them into stone or curse them so then William have to defeat Alastor by himself. William at first was selfish, and doesn’t does things himself but when he was on the quest to go defeat Alastor after that he was not selfish and was brave after the quest.]]> 2019-04-16 06:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351891121 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351892143 1) Another thing I found that’s important is character transformation. In Dragon slayer Academy, the main character, Wiglaf wasn’t brave enough before because he is afraid of bugs, killing animals ( even that it’s a fly ).

2) When he entered Dragon Slayer Academy, he learned to be brave to slay dragons, because of his friends help, Zelnoc’s ( a wizard) help, and the books help. (the book told him the drgon secret weakness , but only a part of it )

3) As a result, he had become braver because he had kiiled a dragon called Gorzil, and he became more braver after he killed another drgon called Seetha.]]> 2019-04-16 07:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351892143 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351903830 1. One of the features I found was character transformation. In the series called "The City of Ember", one of the main character called Lina changes dramatically. She had a normal life in the City of Ember with other citizens. In page 25 in “The City of Ember”, it said, "Lina had been to the outer border of Ember." She lived in Ember happily. At the outer border of Ember, she didn't get out of Ember. Not even once. However, when the City of Ember was dying, Lina and Doon was the captain of other citizens, escaping from their home.
2. Character transformation is very important in fantasy, because it can explain the theme. For example, in “The City of Ember” series, the theme is try new things. In the series, Lina escaped the dying city first, followed Maddy and Casper to the destroyed city, and went back to Ember to help the People of Sparks. Of course, in some of that adventure, other main character Doon, followed Lina. Well, Lina didn’t even go on an adventure when she was living in Ember happily, but after she and Doon escaped the city of Ember, she started going on an adventure on every books in the series (not including the Prophet of Yonwood).]]> 2019-04-16 08:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351903830 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351921201 1. Theme:be a brave
My book character changes to brave because he can kill a dragons  name Gorzill and Gorzill  mom! And he kill dragons secret weakness.
2.wiglef didn’t now what is the secret weakness and kill them by accident!]]> 2019-04-16 10:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351921201 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351929713 2019-04-16 11:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/351929713 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/352158268   At first Gregor was living in his house ,but then his sister walked into a pipe and Gregor needs to follow his sister and they both fall into the under land and they need to finish the prophecy and I think the theme is bravery,because later he need to stop a war and he lost some of his friend ,after the prophecy they all went home .]]> 2019-04-16 23:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/352158268 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/352290665 1) Another fantasy feature I found in fantasy texts is character transformation. For example in “The City of Ember” series, one of the main characters, Lina, is having lots of transformation. She had a normal life in the city at first, on page 25 the third paragraph it states, “......” Lina had a wonderful life and she never thought about leaving the city and explore outside of the City of Ember and what would it be like, or trying new things and being risk taking to find an exit of the city. Until when the city was dying, Lima and Lina’s friend Doon we’re finding a way out, and they led the whole citizens of Ember to escape from their home.

2) Character transformations are really important in fantasy texts, without character transformation there wouldn’t be a theme in the story, and the problem and esolution would be boring to read. In “The City of Ember” series, I found the theme was trying new things. In the series, Lina secretly followed Maddy and Casper to a destroyed city, then Maddy and Lina secretly without Casper knowing came back the the Village of Sparks. But some of the Adventures Lina didn’t go by herself, she went with another main character, which is also Lina’s friend, Doon. Lina and Don risked their lives and went back to there old home the City of Ember after living tin the Village of Sparks for many months, they found out that nothing was the same as usual it was old and dirty, but then they found out that they were trapped, so they tried to escape from the City of Ember again. Lina is going on adventures in every book in “The City of Ember” series, except for the book “The Prophet of Yonwood”.]]> 2019-04-17 13:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/eu2bn21ejjvk/wish/352290665
