Week of October 6-10

Your blog post will be something that you would like to change about the book. Think about characters, setting, and plot when making your decision.

Your post must address the following points in a well-written paragraph:
What you would change in the book
Why you want to change that aspect
Specific details about what you would change
Why you think the change would make the book better


Example:

One thing I would change about the book “The Pillars of the Earth” is how one of the main characters, Tom Builder, dies. In the book, Tom is trampled by the horse of the vicious Earl William Hamleigh, as his army raids the small town of Kingsbridge and sets the houses and market on fire. Tom Builder’s death seems abrupt and out of place in the novel, and seems to disrupt the flow of the author’s writing. If I could change how Tom Builder dies, I would have him die by accident, at the hand of his son and fellow builder, Alfred. All his life, Tom has favored his son and overlooked his bullying and short temper. Once he became a builder, Alfred became meaner and more conceited. Having Tom die indirectly because of a mistake by Alfred would be the ultimate punishment for being so lax with his son, and would be a strong message about his role as a parent in the story.
