At one point in book nine, the main character, Pendragon, is faced with a carnivorous mutant bear-thingy. At first, using it's sharp claws, the mutant bear-thingy makes a big cut in his arm, making him weaker (the wound later caused him to pass out from blood loss). But using his non-injured hand, Pendragon grabs a black magic wand-like weapon, that was lying on the ground nearby, and manages to use it to impale the beast in the eye, and puncture it's brain, making it squeal in pain, and fall down, dead. Pendragon had won the battle! But wait! He wasn't done yet! He walked over to the body of the beast, took the black weapon out of its eye, and plunged it into it's chest, multiple times, just to make sure it was dead.
So, at least now you know how sick, and disgusting the action is in Pendragon. Actually, I just used that example, because it's probably one of the most disgusting parts in the book, but still. You also now know that, when I said that Pendragon had humor, violence, and all those other things, I forgot to mention that it also had sick, disgusting violence. Oh, and I hope my disgusting descriptions didn't make YOU pass out (LOL).
Bowen,
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is the way to present a personal connection to the text! I was laughing hysterically while I read.
Also, you did a great job building the tension in conjunction with the elevating action.
You're writing rocks!
