Compare the Books in Our Monthly Discussions

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

We've been enjoying hosting our Montly Book Discussions and now we are doing the last book for this Term, Alanna, the First Adventure. (The previous books were The Princess Bride -May, Inkheart -April and Hunger Games - March.)

What are similarities between these books? What are differences?

You can write about the stories themselves. What happens in them? Are the events in the stories all the same? Or are them apparently different but underneath they are the same? Or maybe they look different and ARE different?

In addition to the actual stories and the differences in the story lines, there is also the way of writing them. They could range from being written first person to being written as an observation to being present tense the whole way through to a presentation of it as a chronicle of events.

Which do you prefer? Or do you like them as they unfold, appreciating all of the various styles for what they are?

If you decide to include Alanna in your discussion, please remember to use spoilers where needed so that those who haven't read it yet can enjoy the book without finding out that 'the butler did it'. Thanks!
