Independent Novel Project

My book for this project was Eragon, and I wrote journal entries from his perspective of the book. Note, that Eragon actually can’t write well, and take any errors I made as example of his writing.

Main Character Journal

Dear Journal, today I was out in the woods when I found this strange rock. It’s blue with this cool silvery marbled webbing all throughout it. I hit it with a hammer, and it turned out to be hollow! I don’t know what it is, but since it might be of value, I’m going to try and trade it for some meat for my family since the hunting trip wasn’t successful. If not, I’ll just keep it or take it to Brom and see if he knows what it is. Also, there are some really strange visitors here, and I’m going to do my best to keep my eyes on them.

 

Dear Journal, turns out it’s not a rock! It was a dragon egg, which I have no idea on how that came to be since dragons are pretty much extinct except for Shuruikan. When it touched the baby dragon, though, it shocked me or something and now I have this silvery mark on my hand. Anyway, the dragon(Saphira) is bigger now and I can ride on her, Brom the storyteller is somehow not a storyteller, we’re on the run from the Empire, and I’m trying to hunt down these creatures who just killed my uncle. Also, I can do magic! It was just momentary, but I lit an arrow on fire to kill a monsterous Urgal. And now we’re on the trail to Teirm to visit one of Brom’s friends.

 

Dear Journal, sorry for the gap in time. Brom died not too long ago, but I now have a new traveling companion named Murtagh. We went to this city named Gilead to find this person I’ve had visions about, and we found an elf and battled a Shade named Durza! AND LIVED! But when I tried to talk to her with my thoughts, she said she was poisoned and needed the antidote from the Varden. So now we went to find the Varden for protection, got chased through the Beor mountains by Urgals, almost died, and are now with the Varden. Then we had to defend the Dwarven city of Farthen Dur, and I got sliced on the back by Durza. I did manage to kill him, in the end, though. Till next time, because I still need to help with the aftermath of the battle.

    Great job with your project Emma! You did very well with all of the journal writings. You made it seem like it was actually Eragon who was writing these.
