One conversation that I would like to have in this book is with Eragon. I would ask him how it felt to discover that he found a dragon egg. I would ask him why he chose to keep the stone/egg after he found out that it was worth nothing to the traders. I'd like to talk about his dragon with him. It would be very interesting to find out what it is like to own an actual dragon.

Some characters in my book are similar to other characters that I have seen. Sloan is similar to Vernon Dursley from the Harry Potter series. They both are total jerks to the main character. They also hate foreign or magical objects. Galbatorix is comparable to Lord Voldemort. He was a very gifted dragon rider, just like Tom Riddle was a very gifted wizard. Galbatorix overthrew the other dragon riders and Voldemort overthrew the Ministry of Magic. Eragon is like Harry because they start off seemingly worthless, but they find out they have something or discovered something special.

One theme that is very meaningful to my life that exists in this book is: it's not good to let a first impression completely define someone/something. If you are a person like me, then you may not always be the best at first impressions. When people judge you based on whatever first impression that you give them, it can be a harmful thing because they will not know who you truly are. A year ago, I may have forgot to turn my homework in a few times, but those few mistakes that I thought seemed minor forced the teacher to have a bad attitude towards me. I also have judged by first impressions before, but I really don't mean to.

This work, Eragon, tells us that people and nature can bond deeply if they just spend enough time with it. Eragon and the other people who rode dragons in the past spent much time to bond with their dragon. This can also be applied to real life. People who spend more time with nature are more likely to be happy with it. People who spend much time indoors tend to not like nature as much.

This book is a cool book because one of the real life issues that it addresses is that the government doesn't always work in the favor of the people. Eragon lives in a very poor village and no matter how much the people plea to the government, the government doesn't care in slightest bit about their town. Also it adresses the issue of people being very poor in the world. Eragon lives in a family that just barely makes enough money to survive the harsh winter that happens in his area.

In my book, I believe that the main character, Eragon, is a round and dynamic character. He feels hopeful when he finds the egg (which he thought was a stone at first) in The Spine. He feels angry when he finds out that the egg was not worth anything for the traders that came to town. He feels cheerful when he raises the dragon and it grows up. Also, he learns throughout the story that things may not always be what they seem at first. This happens because he thought that the egg was just a worthless stone after talking to the traders. However, the stone turns out to be a dragon egg. That is pretty awesome.

In my book, Eragon, he finally found the traders. When he brought the mysterious stone to the traders, he found out that the stone was worth nothing. They also found out that the stone was hollow. Eragon was not happy when he brought the stone back home. Suddenly, he saw the stone cracked and out came a baby dragon. He later befriended the dragon and raised it in the woods until it grew up. Eragon and the dragon were great friends. I believe that the theme is: it's not good to let a first impression completely define something.
