Chapter 5

Aunt Linda drops Fitch and Will of at the hotel, and takes Jack to get some coffee. She says that she would tell her some of what's going on but only what's necessary. "So what do you think of the sword?" Linda starts the conversation with that and lead on it was magic. She explains about the war in Britain and America and how people have been fighting for hundred of years. Only with their war the Anaweir have no idea it's going on. She tells him that she's an enchanter and what that really means. Jack still hasn't figured it out by now that he's part of this. Even when she saws our family he still doesn't realize he has a magic power. He finally asked what Susannah was and Linda replied "She was a warrior like you." Guess what his first question was? "A woman warrior?" Isn't that sexist, and stupid he just realizes he has this great power and he ask a sexist question. Trying not to be a stereo typical but he is a teenage guy. She than also explains to him is medicine isn't for his heart it's for his warrior stone. Linda explains something kind of difficult to understand. Jack was born a wizard, he was born without a wizard stone. So Long-branch put in a warrior stone just for an experiment. (He would have died without a stone.) They went on about their talk of wizards and magic. Aunt Linda said that now they would either hide Jack or he would have to learn how to fight. He hates the idea, he doesn't wanna fight anyone. She gives him an envelope with the trainers name in it, and gives him new medicine.
This connects to the world because of the war. Country's are always fighting like America and Iraq. This is a common things that everyone knows about war and how it goes. Two groups of people disagree or just fight each other. We all know what war does, from things like the diary of Anne Frank. This war emotion finds Aunt Linda like it did to Anne Frank, sorta.

  1. To add to your connection, Apryl-- I think it's significant that you say Jack doesn't want to fight anymore. People are at war all of the time, as you say...do you think many of them actually want to fight??
