Social Action reading Question #1

   Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink is a really touching book. It's about 2 twin sisters that are involved in a prophecy that will change their lives. One is good and one is evil. In this book Lia is the good one she is also the gate. Alice is the bad one and she's the guardian. This prophecy changes their lives. They have to end, Samuel the angel from crossing to the human plane. Lia is to find the 4 keys and she's powerful than Alice. However Alice is evil she would not let that happen, Samuel has summon her and she is to kill Lia. The end to this book is a mystery there's a second book to this. Who will win would Lia be strong enough and find the 4 keys to open the gate and fight Samuel? Or will Alice be powerful enough to be on Samuels side? Lias father found the 2 keys before he died. She needs the 2 other keys.
   In this book I have noticed that there's a lot of fighting between siblings and jealousy . It's pretty obvious, since one is good and one evil. A brief example from the book is when Alice tries to steal the book(the one who tells the prophecy) of Lia. Alice is also desperate, she's selfish and wants the bad instead  of good. Lia also doesn't communicate with her like the used to they are enemies and want the best for them. When Alice also kills Henry(there brother) just for the list. This is cruel she only killed him for the list and she still didn't get what she wanted.
  Prophecy of the sisters, is most of a prophecy however, it also shows the difficult ways siblings don't  get along, like fighting, jealousy, etc... Lia and Alice have it different, because they actually have to fight for the it, one will die and one will live. Neither of them want to die. So they have to separate each other and be enemies, they can't work in this together, it's a challenge between them and the prophecy.

  1. I really liked your sense of tone in this essay! I like how you described each character. Something to change is to go further with your thinking. What you brought up about how one is evil and the others not is really smart, but i think you could think deeper and use the book to back up your thoughts. Nice job!
