Hello, this is Marius and another episode of Reading Papers. So we're going to talk about a book actually. It's an analytical essay, which is kind of like your thoughts on what's happening inside the book and how you think this specific thing was supposed to go or why it did go that way. So at least that's the best way.
I know how to describe an analytical essay or analytical like that. The definition of analytical basically analyzing something. So let's just hop right in. Alcatraz versus the evil librarians.
It's the book. It is a book based in the present in America focusing on Alcatraz, the main character. The author, Brandon St.ston, leads off the book by telling you it's an autobiography from the main character Alcatraz and he's the one who wrote the book. So this is the recollection of an older Alcatraz, which it's interesting.
He like presents it as like this is a history book, which is really funny. It is a history book actually. It's a history book. The evil librarians are ruling this world and we don't know it because we live in Ingrid Bliss, so to speak, because they control the information we get.
So we wouldn't know that there's all these other like continents and stuff that's in this book. But, all right, so which is he's the one who wrote the book. So this is a recollection of older Alcatraz, which is a smart and interesting way to set up the book. It helps lend the to the book that it is true story in the reader's mind.
The reason behind Alcatraz putting Brandon St.ston's name on the book is he's a fiction story writer. So the book be presented as a work of fiction. So that are parentheses work of fiction, because it's really a true story. So that the evil librarians won't stop it from being published because they control the information in the world.
Now people will know the truth about the world. There's more continents than people know about who live in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia. Our known world is the work of fiction created from the evil librarians who are the unknown rulers keeping the normal people in Ingrid Bliss by controlling what information we get. So yeah, that's how he sets up the book and he makes fun of Brandon Sander's through it, which is funny because he's just making fun of himself deprecating since a humor.
So because who would know Alcatraz has to be better than Alcatraz? And since he knows how the story is going to end, he tells you how you should perceive the 13-year-old him. This tells you what type of person he is and I like self-deprecating, while telling you what decisions he should have made, which is relatable to most of us wanting to stop our younger selves from making decisions that are damaging to ourselves and those around us. With Alcatraz, he informs you why becoming leader in learning to care, trust, self-confidence, bravery might seem good at first but are just leading him up to fail.
It doesn't sound fun or encouraging to read, but how he writes a story is presented in a way that keeps you wondering what happens that is so terrible. He regrets learning so many good qualities that people strive for. And he doesn't tell what's the terrible thing that happens, but he hints towards it being someone he is close to. That dies because of the choice he had to make.
That's why you don't want to be a leader. So that's kind of his old talking to him younger self and how you should perceive him at the same age and how he should have just been selfish or how he well, not necessarily selfish. He just should have chosen not to go on this grand adventure with his family and grandpa on cousins and all day and figure out about his powers that he has. This is a good kids book by the way.
He says it's for all I really enjoyed it, but I don't know if that speaks to me in some way, but I really liked it. Most of the books, definitely more than 75% of the books I've read. And my lifetime has been kids' storybooks. A big one was like, how to train dragon series?
If you ever read that, that was really good. So I just kind of like that type of fiction. I've written a couple other fiction books, more adult, I guess, based, but I don't know. It was just some fun about it.
I think this was a really good book and he talks philosophy and stuff, so that makes it kind of interesting. I think he's a very interesting writer. Probably, yeah, out of the stuff I've read, I really enjoyed it. It definitely takes you into the world, which I think definitely makes the only way I could read a book is if I get really into it.
And this book definitely does. It takes you into that world. And it kind of tells you, like, you know, I see, oh, read the next paragraph. Now, how about you're in Alcatraz or Alcatraz Symmetry builds this whole world in our world, really brings you into the book and expands our worldview.
This world we don't even know exists, plays on your imagination and makes you ask yourself, jokingly, this could be real, with the much louder voice, reality in your head. That's ridiculous. So if you use a little imagination with the logic found in the book, you discover that the book teaches truth. That's not what the evil librarians want you to believe because they would rather you believe the book is a work of fiction.
So yeah, it definitely plays on your mind a little bit. It's kind of like an imagination and fantasy. This could be real. And you like you want it to be real because there's a lot of cool stuff in there.
And then through the book, you continue to learn about these librarians. The more you learn, the more you want librarians to lose Alcatraz. Alcatraz or Brendan? This you in a box or opens it depending on how you interpret the book.
The real or fake world in this book is a sweet place with cars that can drive themselves, talking dinosaurs, sunglasses, warrior lenses that can enhance your senses and your physical prowess, huge crystal swords with knights that wield them, et cetera. I don't know if I really need to et cetera, et cetera. And yeah, because there's a lot more weird stuff that happens in the book or in this world. So who wouldn't want to live in this world?
This amazing world it prompts you to believe in its reality. Ben, with the logic, it brings you out of the book asking if it's real, also makes you want to learn more about this world. That the book says we live in. So yeah, and then here, we'll finish it up.
All in all, this book is a good read. By how you relate to the character Alcatraz, how the book gives you questions about your own worldview. While all that, the story takes you on an adventure of Alcatraz's metric, battling the evil librarians with his breaking talent. Yeah, so he has this breaking talent where he can break basically any name and object that he touches.
He broke a chicken once, which is kind of funny. That's the only non-innemant object he says. He's broken, but yeah, and it's like he was growing up in an orphanage. I won't give you a description of the book, but I think it's a good read.
My brother got me onto these. They were recommended to him by a friend and he writes tons of other stuff. If you want a good read, an easy read that's just kind of relaxing to read, I would definitely recommend Alcatraz and the evil librarians. That's five books in the series, which they're decent size.
It's not like a hundred page or anything like that, but they got 300 or like 280, but if I'm remembering correctly somewhere around there, it's a... So he definitely got some size to it and it... If you... Yeah, or if it's just like something you'd want to read to somebody, like I read it a little bit too, one of my siblings, and it's kind of funny to read out loud, because it's a little bizarre.
So that was an analytical essay on Alcatraz versus the evil librarians. So thank you, and bye!
