In my book  Eragon by Christopher Paolini, I focused on the setting of the book and how it affected the story. The first part of setting that you receive is the name of the country Ägleasea and the area the book is set in is Palancar Valley. Palancar valley is a small place that seems to hold no importance at all starting the book off with a mood of. This sets up how in this small unimportant village something big will happen. This something big is the arrival of sapphires egg. In the  “The Spine was the only place  that king Galbatorix could not call his own”(loc:172)I can infer that this sets up the conflict because king Galbatorix owns all of the land except for the spine based on this quote I can infer that the main conflict will be man vs man because it shows how this one person owns it all and he owns nothing while he’s suffering as well as struggling to make ends meet. he is a normal boy excluding his hunting tendencies he becomes your average boy trying to scrape through with his family. We learn that his mother Selina died when he was a child and his father left him here with Selina’s family. Next we are introduced to salon the butcher he is a man of big stature and paranoid of the spine due to what happened to his kings army in it at does not expand in my opinion this shows that the town of Palancar Valley is a very superstitious place since Salon was a little too quick to decline the egg that looked like it could buy the town. but alas he thinks it’s cursed. At the edge of Palancar Valley is Eragon house that is occupied by Eragon’s father figure Garrow and his brother figure Roran since he was adopted into this family. In this book up into this point, we are shown that even though Roran is off to do his work after a meeting with Katrina the love of his life. After Roran leaves is when things happen 2 mysterious people arrive in dark clothes searching for Eragon. This changes the mood to one of suspense where you get more and more excited due to the two dark-clothed creatures. This ruins the setting of peacefulness of Palancar Valley and adds tension and increase the tempo of the speed of reading.

My smart goal is to get at least 8 hours of sleep

I’m going to measure it by writing it down on a piece of paper then transferring that data to an excel sheet

I will achieve it if I get at least 8 hours of sleep consistently

My goal is relevant because our topic is. BE WELL

there will be a check point every week for my sleep

For one day I learned how to play American football and filmed my experiences. Now I can catch throw punt and run simple routes. My partner Justin knew how to play and wanted to teach me for next time we go to the dome we could throw a ball around.  I did learn how to throw and catch easier. Some simple things to think about, I learned from Justin is that it is best to throw holding the grip and letting it roll off your hand and to catch go with the ball to catch so you waste no time to start running. I succeed to throw catch and punt but sadly for routes I had so many failed attempts after 21 attempts I finally caught a good throw by Justin. i personally don’t want to continue to learn how to to play american football. here is a link to my journal. https://isbdragons-my.sharepoint.com/personal/degan_cougle_student_isb_bj_edu_cn/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=%7BE52B4381-1FA6-44DA-B8B0-BEB4F80770BB%7D&file=OneDayProcessJournal2017.pptx&action=defaultt to
