Oryx and Crake

In this reading we see there are two main characters and together they discover something when they are on a mission to discover what is happening to the world or the people around them.

The elements used in this reading is suspense and reality. We are not aware of what is happening in the beginning and what happens to all the people and what is attacking them. There is a slow transition of how the two friends came about the detection of the plague. The other element in this story is the reality of what happens, they are two ordinary men who venture out in helping figure out why there is a plague.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus Play In this play we see that there is love which is forbidden but also favored. These are the main points through the play. It all starts out with Celia and Marco who are tied in love and they have a challenge ahead of themselves. However there is a always a struggle to maintain that love throughout the play due to the both of them having to concentrating and not breaking the rules. So we see that there is a pattern between the two main characters in terms of love because they both want to be in love but the competitions and rules are keeping them from doing that. So towards the end it is sort of like Romeo and Juliet where they both attempt to die together but with their spells they die together to live as spirts eternally.

Akata Witch In the beginning we see that there is a young girl who finds out she is a witch with the help of others. In terms of archetypes, I do think that this book resembles quite a bit of Harry Potter attributes. Such as the young girl having needing help to find out she is a witch other and in Harry Potter is also different from everyone else and Hogwarts help him get into the magic world. Sonny also builds some great friends while she is finding out who she is and what she is going to do with her magic. The same thing goes for Harry Potter he undergoes a ton of challenges finding out what his mission his and who he really is. In a culture of recognizing the need for female empowerment, Akata could have some ties with this idea in our day and age. With her struggle to find out how to use her powers to her best advantage and for others, the same is for women today.
