The book I chose was the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini. A dragon hatched for Eragon and ever since then he has been attacked by the empire he was lied to and was hurt. The theme of the book was don’t let your anger control you or cloud your judgment.

 

Eragon gets mad at an elf. Eragon was insulted by an elf that made fun of him because he was slower than him, and he was scared. He attacked him and was angry at him and he attacked with magic then another elf attacked him. He was then scolded by his dragon rider teacher to not let his emotions control him.

 

Oromis, Eragon’s dragon rider teacher got equally mad at a dragon rider that was controlled by the empire. The consequence was that him and his dragon died by the dragon rider that was a slave to the empire.

 

Another person that put her angers in front of her common sense was that she had to do the knife contest with a nomad tribe to have their trust in her. She had a lot of fighting in her future and she could not attack because of her cuts.

 

The theme of the book was don’t let your anger control you or cloud your judgment. I think the book had a good thesis for us teanagers to not let our emotions control us.
