WHY?

Authors note: This informational essay describes why both of these certain two books are survival and why they are.


Did you know two percent of all books have a survival theme? This may not seem like a lot but, most other themes have less than one percent. Two of my favorite survival books are, “Set a course for freedom” by Andrew Murphy and “Blood red horse” by K.M. Grant. Both books have similarities and differences. On the other and both books will be ended by the same exact thing. Therefore survival is the main universal theme for both books.
Similarities are what I think tie these two books together. This is because the way the authors, use the puzzle affect. The puzzle effect is when they give you information in the beginning of the book and use it in the end. There are not just similarities in the way the authors write but in the events themselves. One way is how both of the main characters (William and Christopher) are fighting for their lives but are there because they were there doing something for other people. For example on page 89 in the book blood red horse: “Think of it brother we came all the way out to this bloody god forsaken desert to fight some rich man’s war, now were fighting for our lives”. This is one of many similarities between the two books.
While there may be a lot of similarities there are also just as many differences in the two books. One of these for example is in the book “Blood red horse” they are trying to survive against the desert and in Book 2 they are fighting against the British navy. While the end of both books are ended because of the same thing the real end results are ended totally different. The main character in book one dies because of his pride of thinking that he could survive. While in book two he gives up trying to survive from the navy and abandons in his mission.
These are the main reasons that these books are both a survival themes. Even though they could classify as another theme most things fall in the category of survival. Mainly that the fact that the main characters in both books are always on the very edge of life or struggling for life. Meanwhile someone else is always in control and trying to keep the victims in control sort of like in social studies class when we learned about the king trying to control the colonies. Unlike the king the bad people in book 1 and 2 did controlled the characters to the end.
As of a result of all these things, being there for someone else, the end results from being proud. Also the tons of facts of how they are different like how the characters die and how the people control other characters or other controllers. And most of all because both of these books main themes are survive or boldness. Mostly survival because of why the authors write.
