Reflection (Book)
If there is a book I would want to read, it would definitely be the 5th installment of the Pendragon series. I've started reading this series when I was about 13. The last time I've read a book from the Pendragon series was when I was 16 and I've enjoyed the book very much. The book is geared towards the young adolescents ages 12 and 16 but I think it can be enjoyed by anyone who loves mystery, adventure fictions. Although it does not match quality of a Dan Brown novel, it certainly gets some things right. There are many twists in these series and also so many mysteries and enigmas that the reader is compelled to continue reading in order to figure out what they are curious about. I remember I've read until 2am and I despise book reading but this series I just love. I've only got the chance to buy books 1,3, and 4 but I am sure I would love to go back and read #2 and also read whatever is out past #4. I have not kept myself current with the series and there may be 8 new books out and I won't be discouraged at all. I think I would be excited to know that there are 8 whole books to go through and the adventure doesn't end still. The author does a great job to revealing mysteries to the readers in the correct pace that allows the readers to keep their interest in other mysteries rather than having the feeling that the story is being dragged on. Also, the villian is quite the character and the foil between the protagonist and the antagonist always spices the conflicts. Also, the support characters also give life to the setting and culture as these characters are people from certain areas of the universe and show the protagonist how to adapt to new cultures. It is a intriguing adventure ficiton that always have kept me reading well into the night and I'd love to read the newest editions to the series.
Reflection
The conflict assement says that I am an avid at handling conflicts but not a true master of the art. I think I agree with what the result was because I don't seem to have a lot of problems with people when I do have conflicts with them and there seems to be no relationships that were ruined because of a conflict and a poor handling of a situation. I think just having a quiet and observant personality allows me to be able to handle conflicts without getting too overdramatic or have irrational behavior because I am able to control myself and know what I am thinking and about to say to others. I don't think remembber the last time I became angry or started yelling at someone because of a conflict but when I think about other people, I see that some people really have a hard time dealing with conflict as they start yelling things as if they can get their point across better if they are yelled. I think there are areas that need much improvement, but I am satisfied with my current ability to handle conflicts because there doesn't seem to be any conflicts in my life right now that I need a lot of help with. Life seems very calm and trouble-free, for now.
