What Number Are You?


 Authors Note: In the literature analysis essay I used AB transitions, and tried to come up with a proficient conclusion please leave some feedback to help me improve on these things 

Imagine being a super hero that’s being chased around by villains who want to kill you. You struggle on a daily basis to stay hidden and use your powers. Just imagine that humans are finding out about your super powers and they think you’re an alien. “I Am Number Four”, by Pittacus Lore has a phenomenal introduction that pulls the reader in, and descriptive details that paints a clear picture in the readers mind.


During the book I Am Number 4  you’ll find out that it’s unlike any other story you’ve ever read. The introduction really pulls you out of the real world and into the book. Great details aren’t the only things that are amazing in this in the beginning of this book, the introduction also has a great deal of foreshadowing that brings a chill to the bone. For example here is a sentence in the book “His sight and hearing are beyond humans. He dodges trees, rips through snarled vines, and leaps small streams with a single step. Heavy footsteps are close behind him, getting closer every second”. (2)


In addition to I Am Number 4 having a fantastic introduction, don’t forget about the very descriptive details. In the book I Am Number 4  the details really bring out all of the exciting action and adventure in the book. For example “The blade ignites in a silver flame as it points to the sky, as if it’s coming alive, sensing its mission and grimacing in anticipation”(4). In that sentence the details are so amazing you can really feel and sense the action in this book.   


The book I Am Number 4  really teaches readers how details can be very clear and what a great introduction looks like. I am Number 4 by Pittacus Lore used great details and an introduction to make the book itself an amazing book to read.
