In this blog I will be talking about what I've been doing for literacy this term, which is a novel study. For the novel study I did Shadowhunters The Mortal Instruments City Of Bones. Doing this novel study I learned more about the book and what the author is trying to achieve in the book. Is the author trying to entertain you, persuade you, or inform you? In my case it was entertain. The book got me excited with all the action and fantasy. Everytime the characters hit one another with a sword, my heart beat would go faster. The story was interesting and outgoing, you could say and I loved that about the book. The fact that all these different people who were all so close can turn on each other so quickly, it made think hard about what life would be like if it was like the Shadow world. I think that's really intrigued me the most, or maybe it was all the magic and life (Or death) that the book gave me.
Now let's talk about the main character: Clary. I thought that Clary was a very brave for a girl who was just introduced to a world of shadows and death. She is very sweet and kind to everyone around her. But at times she can be a little selfish but that's understandable, considering what's she's gone through. I thought we the author was writing about this character, she was trying to have a good female lead who doesn’t always need to be saved. In the book Clary really fought back when someone told her that she couldn’t fight or go on a mission, which I really liked.
