Eragon Pages 106-114

The part I read wasn't much. It was basically Brom and Eragon still journeying. Eragon was using the stolen leather to make a saddle for saphira, but he didn't really know how to make one. Brom decided to make one for him and it looked very good. Brom and Eragon then started to pack up and leave to Zar'roc. Before they left, Brom told Eragon that it would be good to own horses. Even though Eragon has the dragon, Brom told Eragon that the dragon needs to be hidden. After the discussion, they camped out in an area and they talked more about dragons. What I liked about this chapter was a friendship building up with Eragon and Brom. They are becoming more friendly to each other. The part I disliked is how soon there one day journey was. They should have more details when they are moving place to place. Other than that this book is great.

The thing that is going on is Eragon, Brom and Saphira are about to go visit Eragon's house, which was burnt down. He went in there to see if his dad was okay or not. Unfortunately, his dad was not there so his dad might be dead from the fire. Eragon got some stuff he needed from the house and he left with Saphira and Brom. When they were going on to their journey, they found a good resting place and decided to sleep there for the night. Eragon and Brom started to talk. Eragon really wanted to know who Brom r eally is. Eragon asked Brom all these questions about why he is coming with Eragon to the journey, and how he knows a lot about dragons. But Brom does not tell him the true answer. Eragon is also suspicious why Brom has a Dragon sword which only dragon riders carry. Brom decided to give that sword to Eragon. I am predicting that Brom was also a dragon rider just like Eragon because he has so much knowledge about them and he carried a Dragon Rider sword. What I like about this part is that it tells a lot about the character. It explains a lot about Brom in the part I read. My dislike about this part is how there is no action. The part was mostly about Brom talking about himself.

The story was basically about a boy named Eragon, who went to go buy some meat for his family. When he was talking to the guy selling meat, Eragon pulled out a spherical ball looking thing and asked the trader how much it would be worth. The trader told him that it wouldn't be a deal. Eragon went home and few days later, he found out that the sphere started to crack. Eragon then found out it was an egg, but then the animal inside the egg was a dragon. Eragon couldn't believed what happened. I think the section I read was good because it caught my attention when Christopher Paolini started to describe what was going on with the egg. I also like it how the story is set up in the beginning. He finds a sphere and doesn't know what it is, until it starts hatching. That was a good story set up.

The part I read was basically about Grant, his aunt and Miss Emma, going to Bayonne to meet Jefferson in his jail cell. Miss Emma made Jefferson some food for him and fresh clothing to offer him. When they were in the car, it was very quiet, and nobody talked. When they got to the jail building, the deputy had to search them to see if they were criminals and they had to look through the food to see if it is okay to bring in. When they went in, Miss Emma tried talking with him, but Jefferson didn't look at her nor talk to her. It wasn't a happy moment for Miss Emma so she left crying. The next day, Grant was forced to go alone by his aunt. Miss Emma was sick so she had to stay home with Grant's aunt. When he went to the jail cell of Jefferson, he asked if Grant brought any corn. Grant asked why, and Jefferson told him that thats what hogs eat.

He also told him that they should be a little bit more clean. Grant complained that the kids needed more materials and a better heater, but Dr. Joseph told Grant that it wouldn't be fair to the white school if the colored school gets better things. The next day, workers came with wheel barrels filled with wood. When they were dumping all the wood at the back, Grant saw them and can see that they were immature. They were joking around a lot and slowed down the work time. When they left, Grant told the kids to go chop the would outside. Then Grant realized his past, before he was a teacher. He remembered when he was the guy who chopped wood. He also remembered another guy named Matthew Antoine. They really didn't like each other and always had weird conversations.

Dr. Joseph then called a kid who wasn't that bright and told him to recite the pledge. After he did it, Dr. Joseph wasn't as amazed.

In this part, Grant and Vivian were still talking about moving. They still didn't clarify if they should move or not. Grant started to talk about Jefferson, how he is going to die.

What happened before was a man named Jefferson, Miss Emma's son, was going to be on the death penalty. Miss Emma, Tante Lou (Grant's aunt), and Grant Wiggins went to Mr. Henri Pichot (a lawyer), and was upset because they called Jefferson a "hog" when he was on trial. Miss Emma didn't care if her son would die, but she just wanted him to die like a man. Mr. Henri said he will talk to Jefferson and see if he likes it or not. Now that they left Mr. Henri's place, Grant can go to Bayonne which he planned to go to. He went to a cafe which was owned by the Claiborne's, and he ordered his "usual" food there. He went to a phone and called up his wife, Vivian. He told her that they needed to talk about something important. Vivian came to the cafe and sat in front of Grant. Grant told her that he wanted to move somewhere else. Somewhere where there isn't much hell.
