First Strike: Blog 1
First strike's main characters are John Chance, a spy for the government, and his kids, Rich and Jade, who help him sometimes on his missions. While the book goes on about their missions and such, what makes the book interesting is their relationship with each other. In the first book, it told how John Chance had left the kids mom before they were born; but then their mom was killed in a car accident when they were fifteen. Then John suddenly appeared at her funeral and claimed to be their father. At first they were very cold towards him, wishing only for their mother. But as they found out more about what he does, they started to grow closer to him. The author uses that relationship to build a stronger storyline than just a guy with a couple kids, and I would not have enjoyed this series if not for the realistic portrayal of the relationship between an estranged father and his kids, minus the secret spy part, of course!

love that its short is the first thing i want to say, but i really it looks good and makes me jealous at your work. i don't know what your trying to explain since you seem to be talking about two different things, i'm confused but they play together well in you blog.
ReplyDeletereally if i had to rate yours for the first time i would give you a 7 cause i really think mines a 3 since i think i didn't stick to the rubric like you. i think you should make it longer since its a minimum of 3 paragraphs just saying for future references.
Good summary, but it's not following the guidelines. Maybe you want to read them again?
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful piece of writing,I can tell you worked hard on it. Also this really draws me in and makes me want to read the book, which I love! Is that how it starts? I would rate this as a 9.5.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments! Stephen, honestly, i did not stick to the rubik that much at all, but for now on i am going to start doing better, especially making it longer! Lindsey, thanks for your comment! It made me realized that i have some changes to make! Joel, thanks too! You should read it someday, but start at the first book! :D Thanks everyone again!
