Significance
This book tells a tale of rabbits who take a big risk to save thier lives and start anew. Fiver is a rabbit with an uncanny knack for knowing when something bad is going to happen. Fiver has sensed that a very dangerous time aproaches for his warren (a village of rabbits basicly) and has warned all who will listen that they must leave as soon as possible or else they will all die.
Perspective
This book is told in the third person and will sometimes but rarely focus on a person other than Hazel(Main Charater)
Evidence
Not many people believe fiver at first but after steering the group clear from danger several times, they all trust fiver with thier lives.
Connection
Fiver was a young rabbit and was not very believeable at one point in time nobody believed something fiver said even after he had proven he could be trusted. He was right in the end and nobody doubted him ever after that. If some one has never steered you wrong before, why stop believing them?
Supposition
This is an amazing book and is too much to be described in one review. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said, "Everyone who can read English should read it." I will admit that this book was a little had for me to get into at first, but once I was in it there was no getting me out of it. If you like adventure tales with animals as the main character, you must read this book!!!

Significance
This book is about four english childeren about to go to a boarding school, when they find themselves in Narnia, a land familiar to them, but different this time. It is about 1000 years since the last time Narnia has seen them and a lot has changed in that time.
Perspective
The entire story is always being told in the third person due to there being four main characters.
Evidence
Lucy thought she saw aslan at one point in time but nobody else did but she ended up being right anyway and this helps the other childeren to start believing her more often.
Connection
One of Prince Caspains best soldiers is a mouse. None of the enemy think that he is a threat and that is what gets them killed. Never underestimate someone because of hieght wieght or mussele, and look for friends in everyone not descriminating because of a lack in a certain area.
Supposition
This is the fourth book in a series of seven. If you don't read one of the first two books, this book will probably not make sense, but once you have been introduced to the Narnia series this is a really great book.

On a simple Thursday morning Mr. Arthur Dent of England discovers that his house is going to be torn down for a freeway bypass.he sulks it off and finds his friend who helps him escape his planets doom with only the guide to help them.
Perspective
The story is told from Arthur Dent's perspective. He is a single englishman with nothing to do really and nothing to expect.
Evidence
Arthur is very unsure usually, he dosen't really know whether he should do something or not unless it is life threatening. One thing he is sure of is that Thursdays are bad.
Connection
Artur meets some friends that were his enemy at one point. He stole his girl and signed the order to destroy Earth but they still find a way to get along. You need to look for friends wherever you can even if you don't like them.
Supposition
This story is absolutely hillarious and Douglas Adams created it just perfectly. If you like sci-fi and comedy this is the perfect book for you. It's sequals were fantastic as well. The restraunt at the end of the universe; Life, The universe and everything, So long and thanks for all the fish and, Mostly Harmless

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Significance
The Alchemist tells a story of a sheperd who: met a king, sold crystal, and discovered his personal legend. From humble begginings, Santiago was a simple shepard in Spain.He had sixty sheep and is only for days away from seeing the love of his life again. But a dream takes to egypt to find a treasure. Santiago is tested many times to see if he really wants the treasure.
Perspective
This book Is told from the perspective of Santiago. A traveling shepard who loves to see different places. He is a nobody and has nothing to look foward to other than meeting the woman he loves again.
Evidence
Santiago's devotion to finding the treasure has forced him to be very open and willing to go where the omens take him. Because of theis he has to be constantly watching for the omens in hopes that one will give him some answers.
Connection
In the book Santiago meets a very unlikely friend. The things that they are looking for are different in some ways, but very similar in others. No matter what your quest is, I say look for a friend in anyone and everyone because you never know if they can help you even if it is indirectly.
Supposition
This is an excellent story and Coelho knew exactaly how to tell it. It got my attention in the beggining and kept it right to the end of the epilouge. There are a few problems though like in all great masterpieces. I can't always tell what is going on in the background which I think would be important because it is almost constant travel. Also, there are a few character who apper in the book and go almost as quickly as they came.

M.C. Escher His life and Complete Graphic work.
Significance
This book is a complete biograpphy with pictures as well. I learned alot about Escher from this bookand it was a good read too(if you like biographies). This book was created to tell the tale of a young M.C. Escher and how he worked his way through life.
Perspective
I honestly don't like biographies, but thats just me. It's a great book if you need to do a reaserch paper or a report on one of his pices of art.
Evidence
People who knew Escher might argue that he never did something, But the people who made the book used intervuiws, his fathers diary, and other resources which really makes me think that the book has legitamate information.
Connection
This book explains some of Eschers artworks and his life in great detail. This could help people to understand why he did some of his art or if they knew him, why he did the things he did.
Supposition
I f this book had never been made, I would have had a lot more trouble getting more information for a project, and I wouldn't know as much about Escher's amazing life than I do now.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
Significance
It has no point to it. The only reason this book was created was for the enjoyment of the reader and almost nothing else.
Perspective
This is a work of art with letters and paper. It has almost everything in it, comedy, mystery, and action. the magic of Harry potter has extended through the fifth year at Hogwarts
Evidence
It is a fictional story. There are no arguments to be made over anything said in this book
Connection
It doesn't really effect anything we do except that we might read it, talk about it, and read the next one.
Supposition
If Harry Potter had never been made I would have been bored a lot more times.
That's all folks
