The Demonata: Lord Loss By: Darren Shan 10/5/10 blog 5

How is the meaning of the text affected by the setting?

In the book im reading "Lord Loss' the texts shows alot of suspence and almost an erie feeling. There is always talk about the death of the main character Grubbses parents. They died when 3 demons killed them,for some reason the demons killed them but i dont know why yet. The text also shows alot of gore and blood and goes into alot of detail on how the characters are killed in very twisted and creepy ways. the suspence is great in the book and makes it worth reading

On the Internet, read a biography about the author of your IRB. How do you see the traditions, heritage, attitudes, or beliefs of the author in your book?

In my book "The Demonata: Demon thief" the author puts his own fasination of creepy stories in most of his book. When the author was in college he wrote all of his papers and somthing creepy. The author also puts his taditions in the story such as he has a brother that likes to bite and the main character's brother likes to bite as well. The author puts in his attitudes in the story as well by making the main character very outgoing and brave.
