3rd Outside Reading Post -pg 332

Eragon is one tough dude, "When lunch was delivered, he pushed it out the window after his breakfast... Even so, Thoughts of drinking cool water tortured him as each breath dried his breath and throat a bit more. Even so, he forced himself to ignore the pitcher." (Paloni 296). Eragon hasn't eaten or drinken for about two days now and yet he still forces himself not to, to avoid the drugs effects. This guy is extremely motivated, obviously Eragon is the one you look up to to save the world. Unfortunately Brom has died from the Ra'Zac from being stabbed through the ribs. Unbelievably, Brom was a dragon rider like Eragon and explained to him in his last moments, "There on Brom's palm was the gedwey ignasia. "You're a Rider?" he asked incredulously. A painful smile flicered on Brom's face. "Once upon a time that was true... but no more" (Paloni 274). There is also now a new character, Murtagh. Murtagh came into the picture when Eragon and Brom were captives of the Ra'Zac, and saved them from them. He is a about a year older than Eragon and a little taller. However, they have very similar personalities and both are equal in their mastery in swordsmanship. Neither can win against eachother.

Because Brom has died Eragon as had a tough time coping with the loss, as well as Saphira. He had taught him all the ways of how to be a Rider and was infact one himself. Eragon has mostly gotten over it now over the past months, but still remembers Brom. Also, my previous quote about Eragon's hunger was when he was in the jail of Gil'ead. He went through conflict in there having to survive without no food and water, and had to fight a shade before Saphira rescued both him Murtagh and the captured elf. The elf was a woman Eragon had somehow been able to dream about which supposedly is impossible. Also, Eragon has got the hots for her.

As I have said in my previous posts this is similar to Black Boy and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Not exactly too much to discuss. Just the typical conflicts and struggles except in a much different manner. And obviously not realistic like in Black Boy and ELIC.
