Blog Post #19: Clockwork Prince What points do you find yourself resisting the text?


While reading the book Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare I noticed that I resisted the text when there were some difficult situations. I found that I often resist the story when there is something bad happening or something sad was happening. I resisted the story when Tessa was getting cornered by an auto man. It was trying to kill her and it was sad. She was scared of the robot and trying to protect herself. I did not want to know what was going to happen next, but she was saved.

In the book I resisted the book when Jem was playing his violin violently. He was playing the violin while he was being mad. He used to play his violin beautifully, but since he was mad at his best friend, he was taking out his rage on the violin. Also Jem thought that if he was going to die then his violin should just die before he dies. Tessa heard him playing and tried to stop him because she loved hearing him play the violin nicely and she knew that he loved his violin. Tessa did not want Jem to destroy his most precious item just because he is dying. I did not want Jem to kill his violin just because he was going to die. I think that I resisted this part of the book because I did not want Jem to destroy his violin that was really important to him.

Another time I resisted the book was when Will went somewhere without telling anyone where he was going to go. He disappeared for a couple of days and Jem and Tessa began to become worried about him while everyone else was calm. Will wanted to run away to get away from his troubles at the Institute. I think that I resisted this because I did not want to see Will get hurt. I was scared that Will might have gone somewhere where he could hurt himself or just hurt himself on purpose. I was resisting the text because there might have been something going wrong with Will.

In conclusion I resisted the text many times in the book, Clockwork Prince. I resisted it because I was worried or something bad was happening. I think I resisted the book because it was sad or I was worried about something happening in the book.

  1. I really like this blog post. There are many reasons, and one of the reasons is that you supported you feelings and ideas with so many text evidences from the book. I also really like this blog post, because you really showed your feelings for this book. Not many people talk about their feelings for the book. Nice blog!
