what does this work tell us about people? Blog post #2

The authors of one of the books i am reading right now made a choice to have a very defined line between what is good and what is bad in this book. They make it very clear who is evil and who is good. I think by doing this they showed that greedy people are more likely to do bad things or be attracted to bad thing, or evil, or darkness, what ever you want to call it. In this book, the main antagonist is constantly being followed by "tendrils of darkness" as they call it. Basically they are little slimy octopus tentacle like things that follow her around. So by doing this, you can easily tell who is good and who is bad. But back to the idea at hand, I think they make Nefert, the antagonist, bad because she is greedy, and all she wants is power. She is willing to do anything to get that power. If that means she has to kill more than a few people, then so be it. She will not hesitate to trample over you in order to get power., she will do everything within her power just to get more power. Because that's the only thing that really matters to her. She is a greedy, power-hungry, murder. So that is what i think they are trying to suggest about people. Put the option of power in front of a greedy person, they will do anything they can to get it.

  1. I totally agree with you about how greedy people tend to be more evil and do bad things, and I think that you did a good job creating a theme based on the character's personality in the book.

  2. I like how the authors calls them "tendrils of darkness". And that people are either good or evil, because that isn't really how it is. But I do agree with you when you say that a greedy person will do what they can to get what they want. The book also sounds really good, what is it called?
