The Serpent's Shadow: Reading Skills

The Serpent's Shadow:  Reading Skills

The Serpent's Shadow is a very good book so far.  In my book, right now there is a kid who is cursed and is trying to survive.  He is set to die on the next sunset.  Will he survive?  I think he will because he has been an essential character to the storyline and he probably will live because he is that important.  Some questions I ask myself while reading this book is; "How would me or someone I know react to an evil Serpent possibly swallowing the sun?", and "What side would I really chose in this story?"

 

One text to world connection I can make to this book is that it used to be believed that this was an old story coming to life in ancient Egypt.  Ancient Egyptians thought that this really had happened. 

 

One text to text connection I made with The Serpent's Shadow is that is a lot like another Rick Riordan series:  The Percy Jackson Series in which Percy and a group of his powerful friends have to save the world from an impossible threat!

 

One text to self connection I have made by reading this book is that I would be a lot like Carter if I were in his position.  I would be very panicked but I would be masking it for all the others' sake.
