Redo of Characterization

I began reading a new book called the "The False Prince". I have read the first two charters so far and I have noticed some interesting characterization from Sage. Sage is an orphan who is almost fifteen years old which is the age that most kids are told they have to leave the orphanage. He was very hungry along with the other orphans so he decided he would try to steal a 2 pound piece of meat from the street butcher, which tells me that is attitude is not very good. The street butcher saw him and chased him down and began to give sage a beating. Luckily a noble man named Bevin Conner came and payed the butcher for the meat so Sage would stop getting beaten. Sage was very thankful that Mr.Conner helped him and felt bad about what he had done and was going to try to be a better person. Mr. Conner wanted to adopt Sage, but would not tell him why, and because Sage was almost 15 and would be kicked out of the orphanage soon he had no choice but to go with Mr. Conner. Mr. Conner had adopted two other kids of about the same age who Sage meet when he got into the carriage, although they were not tied up like Sage because of Sages bad attitude. I also think that Mr.Conner might be a bad guy scene he will not tell the kids why he needed them. It seems weird that he needs a bucnch of random children, it might be that he has a really strange personality. Sage saw how Mr. Conner was treating the other orphans were being treated and wanted to be treated that way so he is trying to act better in general and expecially around Mr. Conner. I think that trought the story Sage's personality is going to improve drasticly from a thief to maybe a very nice person who helps others.

Analysis

I have been suspecting that Mr. Conner has threatened many people before, because of his attitude and how he treats the orphans. As I was reading chapter seven of "The False Prince" I came across a very interesting line that concludes my thoughts about Mr. Conner's personality. "Do you like it here?" Errol nodded. "If you do what Conner wants, he's a good master." "What if you don't do what he wants?" (pg. 44 Sage). This tells me from another person’s point of view what they think of Mr. Conner. Errol is one of Mr. Conner's servants that Sage begins to talk to so that he can find out more about Mr. Conner. He tells Sage that he has been working for Mr. Conner for ten years and a long as you stay on Mr. Conner’s good side he’s a good person but if you don't do what he wants he will not be a good person. My thoughts are that Mr. Conner has his friends and enemies but his friends are most likely very powerful people and his enemies are most likely the poor that can't fight him back. I think that Mr. Conner might need the orphans because he is going to commit a crime that would stop his enemies from getting him. In conclusion, I can predict that Mr. Conner might need these orphans to protect him from his enemies.

 

Chapter 6

During chapter six of "The False Prince" Sage, Tobias, and Rodent Begin to find out why they were chosen by Mr. Conner. They are asked questions on the way to Carthya by Mr. Conner. The question were about things a smart person would be able to do, such as read, ride a horse with gentleman’s fashion, or know proper educate. That being the case, the three of them being orphans didn't know much about that. They were told that is ok because Mr. Conner expected that scene they came from an orphanage. Mr. Conner tells them in the end that he will chose one of the three that he thinks can do all of those the best. For the other two orphans he told them that they would have wished they would have won. To sum up this chapter, I have learned that Mr. Conner is going to commit a crime that will happen in Carthya using one of the orphans and the two that don't get picked will be in trouble.

Chapter 5

I have now finished chapter 5 of "The False Prince". During this chapter Mr. Conner begins talking to them by asking them questions about Carthya. Sage is slow to answer because he is not originally from Carthya but the other orphans know most of the answers scene they came from Cartyha. Mr. Conner explains to them who will be moving to king once the old king dies. He tells them that a man named Veldergrath will take over when the king dies. Veldergrath is a bad guy who has made his way to the top be killing and destroying the people who are in front of him. Mr. Conner thinks that once Veldergrath becomes king the kingdom will fall apart. Veldergrath has lots of enemies but he also has lots of powerful friends so he can not be taken down. After Mr. Conner tells Sage this, Sage thinks that he might have to over through Veldergrath to save Carthya.

Infer

I have been reading chapter four of  " The False Prince" and I have come across an interesting piece of text. The text says "The better question is how far you will go to win." "I'm willing to lie, to cheat, and to steal. I'm willing to commend my soul to the devils if necessary because I believe there is exoneration in my cause. I need one of you to conduct the greatest fraud ever perpetrated within the country of Carthya" (Conner and Sage pg.28). After reading this I know that Sage has no way of getting out of this situation. This text also tells me that Mr. Conner is very serious about this plan. I can infer that Sage is going to have to preform this act of crime because of the seriousness that Mr. Conner has just talked to him with. I also believe that Mr. Conner will kill the other contestants he has brought along with him because it seems that he is favoring Sage. I can Infer that Sage is not going to act very well when Mr. Conner kills or gets rid of the other orphans. If Sage does that it might hurt Sages chances of survival as well. In conclusion, I can't be sure of what is going to happen but this I what I believe will happen.

Chapter 3

I have finished another chapter of "The False Prince" and Sage is beginning to figure out why he was chosen. He is trying to escape the carriage while Mr. Conner is finding another boy in a different orphanage. While Sage is in the carriage he tries to convince the other two orphans to escape but they will not try to escape. This surprises Sage but they explain to Sage that their life's are not looking good and they are hoping that they can get something good out of this experience. Despite what they tell Sage, Sage still try's to escape. When Sage gets out of the carriage one of Mr. Conner's guards sees Sage and grabs him. The guard threatened to kill Sage, but Sage tells the guard he will start acting better, so the guard let him go this time. Once Mr. Conner came back out of the orphanage with another boy Sage asked Mr. Conner what was going on and he told Sage that the patience is the first mark of a ruler. With that information Sage had a clue as to what all of this could be about. In conclusion, during this chapter Sage begins to figure out what is happening and begins to make his attitude better.

Characterization

Mr. Conner had adopted two other kids of about the same age who Sage meet when he got into the carriage, although they were not tied up like Sage because of Sages bad attitude. Sage saw that they were treated much better and tried to behave better so that Mr. Conner would treat him the same as the other two orphans. I think that Sage might start to become a nicer character.
