Title: Vampire Academy: Blood Promise
Author: Richelle Mead
I think the author’s purpose in writing this book was to entertain and inform us about Rose’s choice. Not that it wasn’t a surprise, but I expected much from Rose.
I think the intended audience for this book was for teenage girls from the age of 15 and up. Although I started reading them when I was 13. It depends if you are mature enough to handle it.
Rate: 9
I rated this book a 9 because I didn’t like it when Dimitri was using her for blood. But I liked it when she saved his family from the Strigoi and when she finally came to her senses to go back home. It was kinda funny when she realized that the man who was technically stalking her was her dad. I am not going to lie, I was surprised when I found out too. I got to say that I like it when Rose gets mad because there is no way you are going to stop her. Imagine that the man you love is a bad guy and back then he told you that he’d rather die than be that guy, a Strigoi, which is a bad, bad vampire. Now you go looking for him and you find out that he doesn’t want to be saved after all, and now he has you as a hostage and you are weak. What would you do? If you read the book you will find out what Rose did and trust me she had a lot of courage to do what she did.

Title: Vampire Academy: Shadow Kiss
Author: Richelle Mead
I think the author’s purpose in writing this book was to again entertain teenagers about Rose and her life style. Witch is very complicated.
I think the intended audience for this book is girls. Any age. It’s okay if guys want to read it to.
Rate: 9
I rated this book a 9 because I really liked it. It was much more interesting than the second one, but technically it was my first one. Anyway in Shadow Kiss after killing her first Strigoi and seeing her friend die she hasn’t been felling that well. She would see ghosts and flashbacks and would have terrifying dreams of her best friend Rose. And that is the least that is happening to her. Her crush that she had towards Dimitri has intensified. And she is lost. She does not know what to do. She can’t go to anyone. She didn’t have the guts to tell anyone but she did later on. They, the school sent her to therapy. Rose and therapy do not match. Everyone is thinking that she is crazy. She feels as if the ghosts are trying to say something to her, trying to warn her of something but she just can’t understand. Later on the Academy gets targeted for an attack. During that Rose teamed up with Christian once again and killed the most vampires. And something devastating happened, Dimitri had been taken and many others. Right there was when everyone found out about Dimitri and Rose. Normally she would’ve cared but all she was thinking about was how was she going to get him back. Should she go and get him or should she stay and be with her best friend.

Title: Vampire Academy: Frostbite
Author: Richelle Mead
I think the author’s purpose of writing this book was to entertain teenage girls about vampires and high school. She has a lot of what teenagers go through in real life, like love and running away.
I think the intended audience for this book is a bunch of teenage girls and for some lady adults. It’s a real good book so I would advice anyone to read it.
Rate: 8.5
I rate this book a 8.5 because I had to do a lot of thinking for this book. Since I couldn’t find the first book in the library I just took it because it sounded so good and I wasn’t going to leave it so someone else can take it. No. I really liked this book. It was so suspenseful and to see and experience what Rose went through it was just a lot. I would have a hard time adjusting to her character because she is in love with her teacher and she can’t do anything about it. She also found out that he loves her too, man that’s a lot to withstand. And to have the courage to see him everyday and not do anything. And she has to take care of her best friend even though it’s changing her. You have to read the book to know what I am talking about.
Passage: “‘Look take this knife …..Does as your father asks.”
Reaction: This book has been very heart felt. Elie here was about to be seperated from his father and just before he goes, his father gives him a spoon and a knife. Itw as just so sad and emotional that I couldn’t bare to think about my inheritance if I’m gonna see my father again.
Passage: “What are you my God” I thought angrily…”
Reaction: Wow. It’s so hard to explain how I felt towards this part. I feel as if he was giving up on the person he believed most of his life. I wouldn’t blame him because there werte a lot of times in my life that I felt like giving up faith and hope in my God. It’s really hard to not give up but I learned, eventually that life is not fair,period. I already knew that but it took me a while to really comprehend that meaning.
Passage: “we were alone. For a part of a second I glimpsed at my mother and sister moving away to the right..
Reaction: I really hated this part.I wanted to just rip the Nazi’s heads for doing that I mean that was really unneccesary. Why would you seperate a family. This part of the book made me feel more appreciative of my family. Not that I am not it’s just moving me to show my family that I really do appreciate them. I’ve been very selfish these past years and I just want to be closer to my family because I am so grateful to have them.
Passage: “‘Faster you sons of bitches.”
Reaction: I dare someone say that to me. I really do. No one in my whole life has ever disrespected me like that. If I ever hear someone say that to another person, I really dont know what I’d do because I would cumbuste right then and there. That is disrespect in so many different levels. I don’t who you are and what type of an avenge you have of them you have no right to say that to them. No right.
Passage: “‘Jews, listen to me. It’s all I ask of you…”
Reaction: I really didn’t like this part of the book. If only they would’ve heard him out. What a difference it would make if the Jews and the rest of the town would’ve listened and took the precaution. I really don’t like how clueless you could be. As wierd and stupid as that man sounded, I wuold’ve still took the precaution.
Passage: ” Never shall I forgetthat night…”
Reaction: I never read so many nevers in my life.All those nevers were saddening. The fact that he will never forget those children in the flames is real sad. I don’t thin I would either if I saw what he saw. As much as I would try otherwise, I don’t think I would. It just kills me to know how much he suffered through all of this. If I was in his place and I had survived like him I really don’t think I would have the courage to live. All my family is gone. I would feel like a walking corpse.Never shall I forget this.
1.I think the Germans choose to dod so because they wanted the Jews to fear them. They wanted them to see what most of them will be after they were done with them.
2. Elie’s relationship with his father didn’t change as much. He was with him throughout most of the time period. They went through so much together like in the cattle wagon, the marching through the snow, the time period when his father wa sick, and just the journey period. It shows that he was there and that he wasn’t ready to let go yet.
3. Elie’s father gesture of giving him a knife and a spoon showed a significant act because he gave his son all that he had. Probably wishing that he could give him more but at the time and the period that they were in it was the best they could do.
4. Elie in the beginning was a very profound believer but after experiencing time in Auschwitz it totally went downwards from there. He was going through family separations, thirst, fatigue, cold, and torturement. Wondering why God wasn’t helping, why was he letting this happen to them. He was confused and hopeless.
5. The German man starts a stampede by throwing a piece of bread in the cattle wagon. This action suggests that the man was a cruel man. He knew they were starving and were at there point of blowing, yet he still did. It also shows me that he really doesn’t have a problem watching people fight for a little piece of bread. That very action of fighting for food shows how very vulnerable the prisoners were becoming. They were acting like a bunch of animals. And what do animals do to get food, they kill each other.
6. The conflict that arises Elie regarding his father was whether he should leave or stay with him. He was beginning to think that his father was delusional because he wold say things and think things that were not occuring. Elie might have been thinking maybe it’s time, time to let go.
7. On January 28, 1945, Elie’s father had been beat by some German officers on his hospital bed. Elie’s emotional state at that time was pretty calm and relaxed. He was just standing there watching his father getting beat and hearing his father calling out his name yet he just stood there and did nothing. I felt as if he, Elie, right then and there made up his mind on leaving his father.
8. I have to say that was a pretty powerful ending. I haven’t read a book that had that intensity in it in a while. When Elie looked in the mirror and saw a corpse gazing back at him and when he said “the look in his eyes that, as they stared into mine, has never left me”, I felt compelled. I think when he saw the corpse staring back at him I was thinking that he was looking inside of himself. He looked dead. He had no family. He had no one there to be with him, and when he said “the look in is eyes never left mine”, I thought that he was remembering his father and how he had looked him for help and how he hadn’t done anything to help. That was really sad.
9. I don’t think that Elie really kept us from telling his story because he explained it in such a vivid way that was understandable. By his explanation, it proves that Moshe the Beadle was right, even though he didn’t explain what had happened to him in a specific form.
10. I think the meaning of the title “Night”, is just explaining to us the readers how the author felt during this time period. It was one long night of torture and disgrace. I wouldn’t dare give this book another title because the title of this book is very understandable and it suits the book perfectly.
1. Elie describes himself as a very religious person and a person who is very attached to his family especially his father.
2. Moshe the Beadle is a very religious person who is a storyteller and is poor but lives his life humbly.
3. Although no one was really embarrassed about being around him they didn’t believe his story’s. They, the towns people, would think that he wanted them to pity him and they would think he was going mad when all he was trying to do was warn them.
4. Well I can’t really tell. I think it’s because he wanted us to know that these were signs that something terrible was going to happen but no one cared. No one listened nor took precautions.
5. The Germans were very smart at playing their roles. They began by being among the Jews and being in their social community. After that it just went downhill from there. They destroyed their lives from the inside.
6. Elie’s family was separated at Birkenau, Auschwitz. His mom and his baby sister were taken to one side of the campsite while his father and himself went to the other side. They never saw them again. That was a harsh separation. He then got a strong realization that his father and him should never separate.
7. I think the Germans took away the Jews belongings because they were greedy and they wanted to keep them away from escaping. I think they removed their clothing because they wanted to identify them more easily. If they were wearing the same clothes it would be easier for the Nazi to find them. Its the same for when they cut their hair. The Nazi wanted all the Jews to look a like, beside the fact that woman have a chest, their really is not anything else that would make them different from the men. I think they put numbers on them so when they do roll call they would know who is missing and who isn’t.
8. For a life to be turned into “one long night”, I think it means to never see joy and happiness. Meaning that you are technically locked up in a cage hungry, thirsty, always seeing the dark that would never end and always waiting for the light that would give them hope and freedom again.
9. So far Elie has moved to the ghetto and from as well and he has been separated from his mom and sister. I don’t think I would have the courage to keep going on. That’s exactly what I admire of Elie. He kept moving and never gave up hope. The joy that he will be free from the Nazi made him never give up.
