Book Prediction



                                                                     Book Prediction

         What I think the book ''Ship Breaker'' based on the title is about how young worker finds a wrecked ship with treasure in it. The worker then tries to get the treasure but can't because he wants it discreet. He then meets a girl that is apparently a ghost that tells him she knows how to get the treasure but only if he does what she wants him to do. Then the worker goes with the girl on an adventure in a island. Than after that he girl tells him how to get the treasure and he did.

                 14. Why do you think the author wrote this story? Where did he or she get the idea or the characters? What message do you think the author is trying to share?


        The reason I think the author wrote this story is because he wanted to create a sequel to his two other books ''Enders Game'' and ''The speaker of the dead''. Another reason is he wanted to explain something or teach us about the consequences of our actions.

              Where the author got his characters is from his first book ''Enders Game'' which
I think he made most of them up.

                 What the message the author is trying to give out is to care for all living things. In the book the council of the hundred worlds wants to destroy Luistiana because it harbors a virus called the ''Descolada''. The Descolada helps the Pequinoes ( inhabitants of Lustiana ) to reproduce and with out it they would all die.  Enders sister Valentine is trying to convince the council to not destroy the planet but they wont listen. That's why I think the author's message is to care for all living things.
