Reading Response Question # 8

                                

      In Frostbite by Richelle Mead the strigoi are here and ready for some Moroi. Rose's friends Mason, Eddie (dhampirs), and  (a Moroi) went off on a wild goose chase for strigoi. Now let me remind you that strigoi are crazy, strong , fast dead vampires that pretty much kill everything in their path. So you could see how dumb this seems to Rose. Of course she has to go after them, when she goes, she brings another Moroi named Christan. When she finds them, they all get kidnapped by strigoi and some humans. This is not only a problem in the story, but the world too.

       Rose and her friends get kidnapped by two strigoi named and . The strigoi in the story don't want the Moroi's blood, they want one of them to turn into strigoi. The only way for this to happen is, by one of the Moroi dranking from either Rose, Mason or Eddie, until they are died. Christan and woulldn't do it so they were starved. When a Moroi doesn't have a blood source for a long time, they can die. Before that happened they escaped, with magic and they lost a friend.

       In the real world, little kids get kidnapped and they don't have anyone or any magic to help them. I'm not saying that Rose had it easy, but the real world for a little kid seems harder. This is a big problem that never been solved, and probably will never be solved. Not only do they get kidnapped, but they sometimes get raped and are scard for life or they're killed. It's terrible and needs to be fixed.

      This problem of kidnapping can be fixed as long as  young kids get home at a good time and teenagers have phones. We can only try being safe the best way we know how. SO protect yourself and your family.

          Who Has "Power" in Your Text? How  Does That 

                                      Power Get Shown?

 

     Have you ever been in that situation where you're so afraid that it seems like the person you're going against is the bully, and you're the nerd? It's like that in Frostbite by Richelle Mead. In this story there are dhampirs (half vampire, half human), Moroi (are like linving vampires that drank blood, but can die like a human), and Strigoi (dead vampire that get killed with silver stakes). The Moroi and dhampirs are like the nerds and the Strigoi are the bullies, but their mean ways are worse than a wedgie. Their power over everyone is huge.

     

     The Strigoi like I said before are these dead vampires, they love the taste of Moroi blood. They kill the Moroi and drank all their blood. Everyone is afraid of not only the Strigoi strength and speed, but the Strigoi are also immortal. This makes everyones lives harder because it no one wants to bring them down. When people tried, most of the time they ended up dead, others have been lucky. We all know, no one wants to be in the death percentage. So pretty much no one will try.

        How is the power of the Strigoi shown in the text? By the fear. In the text mostly every dhampir is training to fight a Strigoi and protect a royal Moroi (like princes and princesses).  Since all royal Moroi need protection, they don't know how to protect themselves. So they have to hide from Strigoi to stay safe. The Strigoi have so much power over everyone, that dhampirs and Moroi wouldn't go against them.

       Power is a big thing in this text and in real life, so the thing that we have to focus on is making sure the right person gets the power.
