Birdwing Summary

Books that go in detail about events in the past have always brought the attention to a reader. Recently, in class, we learned about what it takes to write a solid memoir. In this experience, we learned multiple techniques that draw the reader in and make something sound exiting and interesting. One of these many subjects was the flashback technique which allows readers to go back and experience the event while it is happening. I have started a book which goes in full depth of the many happenings of the past. I have started the fabulous book, Birdwing by Rafe Martin. So far I have really enjoyed it and I recommend it to anyone who has a knack for fiction/adventure books.

In the reborn palace of the king, there lived six boys and a girl. After the death of hi wife, the king demanded no more as to them having the best life possible. With the exception of royalty, he was threatened to marry a woman for his life. In this arranged marriage, he had to hide his own children in a forgotten forest where they only see him ounce a week. The thing is, with all of these trips, his wife begins to become suspicious of his wear abouts, so she follows his foot prints one day to the unknown hide out and turns every one of the six boys into swans. Luckily, the sister had been out picking berries and had saw the whole thing so she knew what had happened. However the only way to turn them back, is to not speak or even whimper. She goes through the most heart breaking and devastating challenges, making 6 beaded sweaters that would help to save her brothers but in the end she completes her goal except for one little sleeve, where she missed. This is where the story begins, it is about the troubles going through life with a wing as an arm.

This book brings you on many adventures which in the end, summarize being different. I have so far really enjoyed this novel and recommend it to anyone with this kind of taste.
