Chapter 9

At the end of chapter eight Mr. Conner says that he will tell the orphans what his plan is. In the begging of chapter nine he begins to explain his plan. He begins by telling them what the situation is. The problem is this, Carthya is on the brinks of civil war, and it is very close to starting. Carthya is having problems with who will be the next king and right now the city will not choose one over the other. If this continues people will divide the city and the city will fall apart and become corrupt. Therefore I belive he will chose one of the orphans to become prince so that war does not break out and peace can remain in the world.

Chapter 8 Ending

I have just finished reading the end of chapter eight. The chapter began with them having dinner in Mr. Conner's mansion, the food he serves is the best they have had all their lives. Although what caught my interest was in the very last paragraph when Mr. Conner has all his servants leave the room and close the doors. Once everyone is gone he tells them that he is going to tell them his plan. I think that this is going to be a really big deal because of what he has went through with these kids. In conclusion, I really want to keep reading this book to find out what happens to the kids and what the plan is.

Book Recmmendation

I have read about half of "The False Prince" and it is a really good book. I would give this book a 10 out of 10 because of the action, drama, and characterization. This book makes it feel as if you know each character personally. A quick summary, to keep it free from spoilers, would be to say that a few boys are chosen to commit a crime for a wealthy lord. When they are chosen they don't know that they must commit the crime for Mr. Conner but if they are not chosen they don't know what will happen to them. With possibly there life on the line it makes it a very high stakes book with constant drama and non-stop action. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who likes to read books with lots of action, adventure, drama, and questions.

Tone and Mode

I am reading"The False Prince" and over the course of the book I have found the Tone of the book to be elevated while the mood was often them being scared. During the end of chapter eight  Mr. Conner was trying to teach the orphans how to eat with proper manners. "You can not eat with your left hand, that is unacceptable" (Mr. Conner 51).Unfortunately, that didn't go to well for Mr. Conner. When Sage arrived at the dinner table he quickly began to eat since he had been hungry all day. He also was holding the spoon like an axe and Mr. Conner tried to correct him. When he was talking to Sage he had a very formal and tone and a serious attitude. Even after being corrected, Sage made no effort to use polite etiquette as he inhaled his food. Sage had a impolite tone in the way he responded to Mr. Conner and mood was very stubborn. I think that over the course of the book Sage might become less stubborn especially if he want's to stay on Mr. Conner's good side.

Chapter 8

At the end of chapter seven Sage is climbing out of the bathroom. I thought he was trying to escape but after reading on I found out otherwise. Sage was actually just scoping out the land to see where he was and if needed how to get away. When Sage climbs back into the bathroom the servant in calling his name to see if Sage is ok. Sage tells the guard that he had fallen asleep and will be out soon. He does get out soon but the servant sends him back in because Sage is not clean enough. Finally after getting a good bath he was most likly the most clean he had been in all of his life because of the dirtiness of the orphanage. When he arrives at Mr. Conner's dining hall he is the last one there and finds out that the others have been waiting on him. Even though they have been waiting on him Mr. Conner doesn't see anything wrong. When the food is brought out the orphans are greatly impressed because they have never had such a luxurious meal. I believe that the orphans will go along with Mr. Conner's plan because of the luxurious that they receive from him  but will eventually try to escape.

Reading Skills

I have come across some interesting text in the end of chapter 7 of "The False Prince". Sage is told to get a bath by Mr. Conner before he comes to dinner and his servant takes Sage to the guest room bathroom. Sage tells the servant that it will be a while and he can take a break. This made me wonder if he is trying to get away from the servant. Then he try's to find a lock for the door but he can't find a lock for the door so he gets a metal chain to keep the door closed. This made me think what is trying to do, I think he might be trying to get away from every one but I don't see how locking himself in a room would help. Although as I kept reading the author described the setting in more detail. I realized there was a widow with a stone ledge leading around the house and I assumed he would try to climb onto it. When I finished the chapter, Sage had begun to climb on to the ledge to get out of the house while the door was chained closed. Because of his actions I assume that Sage will escape and then try to run away to a random orphanage or anywhere he can find shelter.
