I am reading Eldest by Christopher Paolini.
I predict Eragon will reach Silthrim, a town of the elves, because in the last chapter the elves were singing to the trees to help the forest of Du Welenvarden increase it's size and got close to Silthrim.
Will the elves notice the gedway ignasia-a mark on a Riders hand that tells other people that he/she is a Rider- on Eragon's hand and figure that Eragon is the last rider?
Why did Eragon begin to long for mountains,clearings or even hills in Du Welenvarden? Because he had been in the lush forest so long, and there was only grass and trees like a verdant sea. I infer the houses in Du Welenvarden are a part of Ellesmara, capital of the Elves. I had trouble with the word ethereal in the sentence " They elves all possessed a delicate, ethereal beauty that belied their unbreakable strength; to Eragon." I figured ethereal meant dreamlike or not real by asking my mother. I picture Islanzadi being very beautiful, being described in the book "She was as beautiful as a autumn sunset, proud and imperious with two dark eyebrows slanted like upraised wings lips as bright and red as holly berries and midnight hair bound under a diamond diadem. Her tunic was crimson, round her lips hung a girdle of braided gold. And clasped at the hollow of her neck was a velvet cloak that fell to the ground in languid folds."

Chase,
ReplyDeleteThat was quite a description from your book. I think even I would need to reread that a few times to picture it. Where you able to picture what all that meant? Thank you so much for including so much informative details. I like have you have embedded definitions of words like: "I predict Eragon will reach Silthrim, a town of the elves, because..." I would never have known was Silthrim was unless you told me. Good job Chase!
