Luck of The Devil

A 15 year old spy is a pretty crazy thought but Alex Rider in the book Snake Head is and is very good. He is posing as a refugee trying to be smuggled into Australia by the most dangerous gang in the world the Snake Heads. He is working undercover to try and figure out how they do it so the Australian secret service can stop it and arrest some gang members. But along the way he runs into a lot of trouble. I predict that he will be caught and killed by the leader of the Snake Head even though his godfather always said he had “The luck of the devil.”

My main is reason is that I think someone has been spying on him and reporting it to Major Yu. So he already knows what he looks like and who he is so Alex won’t have the element of surprise. That is his biggest weapon not being fully grown yet people never see it coming. Also Major Yu has been the leader of the gang for 15 years so he is very good at his job. Alex just turned 15 last month. He doesn’t have the experience which is a huge factor with this job. So he is at a disadvantage from the start.

Also A huge reason is he usually has gadgets this time he has nothing to help him. He is empty handed and is out matched it seems. In the past gadgets have always been huge they helped him with everything you can think of to give him an edge. He needs that edge more than ever now but I think he is in a bad situation they know he is a spy and what he is capable of.

All in all, you never want to see the main character die but I think it adds an interesting twist. It’s almost as if you can see this coming because he has to do it all by himself and they know exactly who he is. Luck can’t always win. In the end skill will prevail.

Life Is Not Fair

Authors Note: I choose to predict the ending of the book I am currently reading.

When a boy can throw 80 miles per hour at age 12 that raises a lot of questions. Especially for Michael Arroyo who plays for a baseball team hoping to make it to the Little League World Series. His older brother is the only one who takes of him because his father died but no that’s his and his brother secret because Carlos is not old enough to take care of Michael he is only 17. Whenever people ask they say he is visiting his sick brother in Florida. Throughout the story I predict that people will start asking too many questions of his age because of his athletic ability. This will translate to the league commissioner finding out and him and his brother getting sent to foster homes.

My main reason is because people have tried to fake their age in the little league world series before to try and win. So people will get nosy and eventually find out his father dead because they can’t beat Michael’s team. A boy named Justin on another team already thinks Michael is older than he says. Then the league would want to talk to Michael’s dad and see a birth certificate. 

Another huge reason is because even though Carlos works two jobs he can’t pay the mortgage on their house. Which leads to debt collectors calling wanting to talk to Michaels dad. I think that they might show up and notice his father is not there and call child and family services because it is illegal not to report a crime. The odds are just not in their favor.

All in all, even though he wants to play in the Little League World Series more than anything in the world he will most likely be sent to a foster home. Sometimes bad things happen to good people but other times good things happen to bad people. Life can throw you many surprises.
