Characters Antagonist Chalkin- past Holder of Bitra Thread- mindless threat on the planet

Favorite characterMy favorite character has to be Debera.

She is fun and a great character. She disobeys her dad and goes to Telgar’s hatching where she impresses Morath. You see in the book the as she grows up and learns weyr tradition that she is a great person. She cares about other people as you see with the help see gives Iantine.

Least Favorite CharacterChalkin Chalkin is a greedy Holder. He runs Bitra Hold with strictness and cruelty. Closes his borders so people can’t escape the

eminence of Thread. Put on trial and banished to an outlining island so

as to not cause any more problems. Uses the Charter to his advantage and disregards

it when it does not soot him.

Themes Education Abuse Unknown Rights Types of Government

My Social IssueEducationIn the book the common people get into trouble

because they are uneducated and they aren’t able to read their rights given to them in the Charter. There are many things in education that governments and communities fight over. There are debates ranging from music education to how much money any district can have even here in Utah.
