        The description and details in Clockwork Prince is AMAZING!!!  For example: pg. 274 "Will and Jem were like mice scurrying up and down the body of a cat, driving it to distraction." when they were battling a large automaton.  Also on page 307 when Tessa is thinking of how she saw Jem, as "a lovely silver shadow against the darkness."  Amazing word choice right?? Ha ha well anyways, time to do the REAL assignment...

       So any recent read that I haven't already told you what has happened over countless reading responses I wont do so that leaves a few books that I have as all time favorites to choose from, yay:):) So I'm going to choose The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern- any friends from last year can remember me talking about the book and how good it was and all that awesome stuff, well it's true- and so, ya...

Plot Structure:

Setting:  London in late 1800s and Concord, Massachusetts early 1900s.
Title and Author:  The  Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Conflict:  competition between Marco and Celia with the Circus as their chess board and the tent as their pieces.
Rising Action:
- When Alexander and Hector met up and restarted their "game" seeing who could be the best with "talent" I'm not really sure of a word for it... power? anyways, and have 2 students, Hector's daughter and a student that Alexander will find.
- the card Celia gets that says "Your Move", getting the ball rolling faster on the "game"
-  Marco and Celia meet at a Midnight Dinner at Chandresh's home.
CLIMAX:  When Celia and Marco discover they are opponents
Falling action:
- Marco and Celia fall in love
- Celia finds out from Tsukiko that only one will survive
- Herr Thiessen dies
Resolution:  Celia and Marco get themselves "out of the equation" and unattached to the Circus so that they can live happily ever after together.

      OK, well I hope that this was an OK plot structure of The Night Circus, an amazing book by the way.  Really good, you should read it sometime:) Alright well yep, so that's it:) Now back to Clockwork Prince...
