The book I read was book “Blood Red Road” by Moira Young. This book has many takes place in many settings. This book starts off in the desert and continues through it until they go to cross creek which is just mercy’s house. Another setting is Hope Town which is just a town. The last setting is freedom fields and the book ends in this setting. So this book mostly took place in the desert because of the travelling Saba had to do to get to Freedom Fields. I also liked how the settings provided challenges for Saba. Like the sand dunes in the desert, affected Saba because they threw her around and almost suffocated her. The important characters were Saba, Jack, Emmie, Lough and king Pinch. I say that because it’s from Saba’s perspective. Jack is because he is a hero for Saba. Emmie is because she is Saba’s sister and she is with her for the whole book. Lugh is an important character because the whole journey was for his life before the sacrifice could be made. And lastly king pinch is an important character because he was the protagonist that took Lough. The other characters were side characters because they were characters that Saba met along the way and they were not popping out as much as Saba and the rest of the important characters. My favourite character was Saba because she has the guts to do anything and even walk a life threatening adventure to get Lough back. The main conflict was that Lough got taken away from the Tontons. This is because the king needed a sacrifice so he can make his soul stronger and healthier. The king did not need a regular boy, he needed a boy that was born in mid winter and he needed to be 18. So that is why they took Lough. The resolution was that Saba went on a journey to get Lough back. Saba met the free hawks, Jack, Ash, Epona, Ike and Tommo along the way. She found out that Lough was at Freedom Fields, so they decided to go there. Finally they had a huge battle containing the free hawks, Jack, Ash, Epona, Ike and Tommo, Emmie and the Tontons. Eventually they rescued Lough from the Tontons and King Pinch but pinch died because Saba killed him. Then Saba, Lough and Emmie decided to head east and never come back to the past. As for Jack, he said he will be coming back to Saba but he will have to do some business first. That was the main resolution for the main conflict. So that is pretty much “Blood Red Road” by Moira Young. I hope I can get a chance to read the second book. Overall, this book would get a ten out of ten and I recommend others to read this book.
Jennifer Lawrence (Saba)
The celebrity I chose is Jennifer Lawrence to play Saba. I picked her for many reasons but for one main reason. That one reason is that Saba is active just like Jennifer in the hunger game series. Saba showed she was active by travelling a lot. I think Saba travelled on foot for the whole book now that I think of it. Saba also knows how to fight so well she can kill someone with her crossbow. Judging from the Hunger Game sequel, Jennifer has also shown that she is active and I really think she can play this part. I think that because Jennifer showed she was active by running a lot. This is also like travelling but at a faster pace. Jennifer also is really good at fighting because in the hunger games, she won the hunger games by killing tributes with her bow. Jennifer and Saba have connections of being active, that is the main point why I picked Jennifer to be Saba. I think everyone should be calling Saba as Jennifer now.
Dylan O'brien (Jack)
The celebrity I chose is Dylan O’Brien from “The Maze Runner” and “Teen Wolf” to play Jack. I picked Dylan O’Brien as Jack because they are both fearless. I think Jack is fearless because he knew the dangers of taking Saba to Freedom Fields like the hellwurms and the Tontons. He is also fearless because the journey can be dangerous as well like going across a river that you cannot get your foot on. The last reason why I think Jack is fearless is that he risked his life to save Saba’s life. Without him Saba would be dead at the end of the river. Judging from “The Maze Runner” Dylan O’Brien is perfect role for Jack. Dylan is fearless because in “The Maze Runner” Dylan took everyone with him to escape just like Jack took Saba. He is also fearless because he fought off the grievers just like Jack fought the hellwurms. Dylan knew the dangers to go in the maze but he risked his live to save everyone. Dylan is a perfect match to play as Jack because there are so many connections between the two. Dylan O’Brien is the new Jack since he is perfect for the role.
Willow Shields (Emmie)
The Celebrity I chose is Willow Shields from “The Hunger Games” to play as Emmie. I think Willow and Emmie are both helpful. I think Emmie is helpful because she helped Saba plan the escape plan from the cages in Hopetown. She is also helpful because she helped Jack stitch up Saba when the hellwurms sliced her. Judging from “Catching” fire Willow helped Gail stitch up his back. This is a connection between both characters that helped me pick who could play Emmie. Willow is the new Emmie.
Their All In This Together!
This song is a perfect to explain the author’s message. The song is about teamwork which is pretty obvious. The verse “We’re all in this together Once we know that we are we're all stars and we see that we're all in this together and it shows when we stand hand in hand make our dreams come true” is explaining Saba’s friends working together so they can get Lugh back. This song also explains that they all can work together, referring to teamwork. Saba and her friends also are all in this together that means they look after for each other as shown in the book. It was shown because everyone fought at freedom fields and they were looking out for each other. This is why I think teamwork is the main authors message.
