Memorable Quotes: " Rich people have connections and extremely rich people have very good connections indeed."

" But if there's anyone from Sony or Nintendo, I'm afraid I have bad news for you, your history"

" The comfort and the quiet of death."

Why I chose what I chose. Quote 1: I chose this quote because I believe this is a true fact of life. Rich people have good connections that can help them with things, and sometimes keep them out of trouble. The very rich people though have some of the best connections in the world. They can get away with anything. There are famous people today that get away with a lot. I think this is unfair because if regular people do the same things they will get arrested and maybe go to jail. This quote shows good reason why they shouldn't go after Damian Cray. He has such great connections that he could get away with anything.

Quote 2: I like this quote because it shows how big headed Damian Cray is. Damian made a new game system called the Gameslayer. This is supposed to be the best game system ever. Damian knew it was and wasn't afraid to tell people. The quote was pointed towards some of the biggest names in technology. Damian is saying that his game system is going to blow the others away by a long shot. I love this quote because Damian is so confident in himself and his products. This shows that he knows he has an amazing product that will make him millions of dollars.

Quote 3: This quote is one that everyone I think should remember. I chose this quote because death is a very sad thing, but the time has to happen. I would rather die then suffer through life. The way Damian Cray said it in the book was amazing. He put so much emotion into this quote. The comfort and the quiet of death it just makes the hairs on my back stand up. The author of this book, Anthony Horowitz, is my favorite author. He has great quotes that he puts into his book like this one. The quote is scary though, because I don't want to die anytime soon.

Video 1: The first video is a trailer for the book Eagle Strike. I picked it because it does a great job of putting the plot of the story into a few minute trailer. The music makes it seem so intense and makes you want to see the movie or read the book. It shows the main points of this book, and has some great pictures in it. If it were me not knowing anything about the book and watching this trailer I would make my mom go buy me a copy as soon as possible. The trailer showed how intense the book really is with its high speed chases, shootouts, and so many life or death situations.

Video 2: This second video I have that I found on youtube is a very good video. This is the author Anthony Horowitz talking about the whole series. He explains what each story is about from Stormbreaker, then Point Blank, then Skeleton Key, then Eagle Strike. This is a good video because no one will know the books and what they are about better than the author himself. This is a great explanation of what each book in the series is about. If you didn't understand the point of one of these books, but then watch the video you will realize the main points and then get what the book is about.
