I read the book InkHeart for my quarter 1 book. I chose the character Dustfinger because this book jumped around a lot from character to characre and Dustfinger was my favorite character. I guess because I can kind of relate to him.
Dustfinger is a very self sacrificing, determined, desperate character. He is in a world that he doesn't belong in. Meaning he was read out of a ficticous world full of fairies, warlocks, and goblins. That books name was InkHeart. Dustfinger's only wish is to be read back into the book by Silver Tongue, the person who read him out, to return to his lover. This is a problem because another character who was read out named Capricorn wants to burn every copy of InkHeart (insert gasps)!!!Dustfinger like I said before is a self sacrificing, determined, and desperate character. Desperate because he double crossed Silver Tongue and Capricorn just trying to get someone to read him back into the book. Self sacrificing because he gave up his life to save the only thing not evil from his world, a marten with horns named Gwin, because even though it was an animal he thought it equal. And finally determined because he would do anything to get back to his original home.
Dustfinger looks like he had a bad encounter with a knife to his face. This is because one of Capricorns men actually did this to him. He is a very shady looking character like someone you wouldn't want to have a bad encounter with. He is a fire eater and so of course he has burns every where randomly.
So I decided to do the dislike/like thing. I liked the book. It was very complex? I guess? Anyway I would suggest this book to anyone who likes Cornelia Funke or J.R.R. Tolkien. Anyone reading this blog should read it. It is a very well written novel. This book really went out of my regular genre. And I am kind of a book snob. I love to read Science fiction. So even if this book is out of the genre that you normally read it will still capture your imagination and drag you along for a highly tolerable, not very annoying, ride.
Eric – You’ve done a nice job choosing adjectives for Dustfinger and briefly explained with an example. However, word count should be 400 apiece.
ReplyDeletePt 2 Placing in a second blog with title would suffice better than “I chose the like/dislike thing.” This also should have been 400 words. Far too brief with little to no support.
