  1. Thema: Wat is de achterliggende gedachte van het boek? Over welk(e) onderwerp(en) gaat het boek nou eigenlijk? Heb je ooit een ander boek gelezen met een soortgelijk thema? Leg uit wat de overeenkomst is.

It is about a fantasy world that is played in our world. I don’t know the thought in this book. I think the writer thought he just wanted to write a book like this that is for young people fun to read. I have never read a similar book to this.

  1. Tijd: In welke tijd speelt het boek? Is dit belangrijk voor het verhaal? Hoeveel tijd verstrijkt er tijdens het verhaal?

It is played in our time so 2015 or so. Because it is just what we are now living in.

  1. Mening: Geef je mening over het boek, waarbij je duidelijk je argumenten weergeeft. Richt het aan een potentiële lezer.

I don’t like this book because I don’t like the subject of the book. I have nothing in common with the main character and don’t like what he does. It is fantasy and I normally don’t like it, but I thought it would be fun. It wasn’t. I like to read about historical things and not about aliens

The writing style, theme and characters are not fun to read about.

  1. Scènes: Welke twee scènes uit het boek vind jij het belangrijkste? Leg uit waarom.

When he is up against Number Six and he lost his powers. The other one is when his parents were killed and he transformed in a animal to hide.

It is important because it has an effect on the present. It takes it into the story and continious with thinking about it every time. It repeats it in the text.

  1. Review: Zijn er momenten in het verhaal dat je je geërgerd hebt aan een bepaald personage? Beschrijf dat moment en leg uit wat je ergernis precies was.

I was really irritated about Daniel X because he does really weird things sometimes. For example he can read someones mind and he can create other people because he wants to.

  1. Opbouw: Hoe bouwt de schrijver het verhaal op? Bijv: lange inleiding, spanningsboog, ingewikkelde verhaallijnen, onverwacht einde, etc.

It has a long begining and a expected end. It is really detailed.

  1. Taalgebruik/stijl: Hoe zou je het taalgebruik van de schrijver willen karakteriseren? In welke schrijfstijl is het boek geschreven?

He writes really easy and nice to read. You can read really fast because of his words. He writes for a young audience so there are no hard words in the text.

  1. Eind: Schrijf in het kort (150-200) woorden een ander einde aan het boek.

On the earth of Ergent Seth. When he went there he was helped by other survivors and they helped him with his wound. He had to make a plan to kill Seth.

After making a plan, Daniel goes above ground to confront Seth. During their fight, Daniel turns into a tick and crawls inside Seth's head through his ear. While still inside Seth's head, Daniel transforms himself into an elephant, destroying Ergent Seth.

Although Daniel offers to stay and help rebuild Alpar Nok, his extended family urges him to return to Earth and finish the work his parents started. Afraid of Daniel, Seth's mercenaries take him and all the abducted children back to Earth.
