A Medieval Adventure!
"Fire" By Kristen Cashore
This Fire is not going out any time soon!
This is one juicy medieval story! The story begins in the Dells where young King Nash is ruling with his even younger commander and Brother Prince Brigan. The story follows a young teenager named Fire. Nobody can resist her and everyone including the king but everyone wants her so she is always in danger but she can manipulate people like her father. Her father was the old king’s advisor and he drove the king to death and that is why everyone hates her. The main characters in this book are obviously Fire, Archer (Fires childhood friend and lover), and Prince Brigan (the young military commander). The main conflict in this book is that other than King Nash, there are two other Lords named Gentian and Mydogg who want to dethrone Nash so Nash’s kingdom is on the brink of war. This is resolved when Fire and Brigan take out Gentian and his son and when the king’s archers shot down Mydogg and his men.
Fire - Emma Stone
For the main character Fire I picked Emma Stone. She is very pretty and also has red hair like Fire but that is not my main connection. Fire can manipulate people to do her own bidding and though Emma does not have super powers she does something similar to that. Emma herself said she is a master manipulator. She can manipulate the media by drawing attention away from her and to important organizations. She also loves to trick her friends and get inside their heads so if that doesn’t summarize Fire I don’t know what is.
Archer - Chris Evans
Chris Evans matches my idea of Archer to the T. From the slightly blonde hair to the dashing good looks and he is very dangerous just like Archer. But my main connection from him and Archer is that they are both very loyal. In the movie “Captain America” Chris played the genetically enhanced super soldier and when he decided to do something, he would do it! He would never lose sight of his objective. Archer did the same thing. Once Archer first saw Fire he was hopelessly in love and for the years to come he would go to extremes to win her heart and though it may sound different it’s the same idea. They both devote themselves to something and they don’t stop until they have achieved their objective.
Prince Brigan
Colin Morgan matches my idea of Prince Brigan to the T. In the show “Merlin” Colin plays the young Merlin. They both are very slow to trust people. They are both very young and yet they are genius’s. But they both prefer not resort to violence but if they do they will absolutely destroy their enemies! But my favourite trait is that when there is injustice both these characters will do everything in their power to stop it!
We Are Who We Are
I think that the author’s message is that it doesn’t matter who you are because anyone can take a stand. Like the song says Fire is a monster and everyone is afraid of her but it was actually her who saved the day. She was all alone because of what her father did and she would only use her powers for the benefit of the kingdom. Even Prince Brigan wanted to kill her but after he started to trust her she started to change everything everyone once thought her and I think this song was really on base
Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
