Theme Theater

 The theme of a story is the one word used to describe the novel. We should all be familiar with the tale, A Christmas Carol.  How the ghost are after one thing in Scrooge, change. Thats the theme; Change. Scrooge's attitude affected the way he acted to the poor. He was a greedy, self-centered, person who had all the money in the world yet none of the happiness. It had gotten to the point where money was more important then others. He had to change and with that he undergoes a life changing adventure all in one Christmas night. He is visited by the ghost of Christmas future, present, and past where they show the errors of his ways. He sees himself for the first time and in the end he changes for the better. Change thats the theme and the message, learn it, love it, live it.

Character's Personalities

 From our last stop Dee has taken the book, Pernelle has been captured and the twins and Nicholas Flamel are in hiding. The action continues... Dee is after the Final Summoning of the Book of Abraham so he keeps an eye on the twins and Nick. To do that he enlist the help of Morrigan. Morrigan prevents Pernelle from escaping and uses crows to attack our heroes. Flamel and the twins pick up Scathach, an alchemyst teacher, to aide in their journey as they escape the crows and drive towards the unknown.

 "The Alchemyst" is so unique due to the character choices the author uses. He brings to life each character by showing their personality through their actions. He gives each character a personality that I find would be good for a friend to have. Especially Nicholas Flamel, he is calm under danger, nice and settle yet a lethal weapon. He seems like the perfect fit as a friend. I can imagine the journeys we can have with the aide of his powers and thats why we need friends, to have people beside you in the journeys you face.
