The author's writing style.

The author, Rick Riordan, uses informal language to make it seem like the characters are having a conversation with the reader. The dialogue is very relaxed and no high vocabulary is used. This impacts the book very much because the book has gone from a possible formal, adult context, to a friendly and relaxed book context with formal and informal speech.

Conflicts.

The type of conflict in the story is external conflict because Carter and Sadie fight with other gods that want them killed. The characters involved in this conflict are Carter, Sadie, Setne, Apophis, and Walt who are all battling against the evil gods.

My Relation to the book.

Author back round information.

Carter and Sadie have to go through a lot and they have lost friends and both of their parents. I can relate to this because I have lost my uncle to a bullet and he unfortunately died in vain. I was very sad when that happened and I constantly think about him. I can relate to the story line because Carter and Sadie have to travel around to try and save each other or other friends and when my uncle died, that very day my dad flew to Colombia where the incident occurred and he stayed with his mom to comfort her and himself in sad times.

Rick Riordan was born on June 5, 1964. He is a famous author for his mystery, fantasy, Greek and Norse Mythology, and science fiction books. Riordan went to North Texas State College because he thought he wanted to be a guitar player, but he then transferred to the University of Texas at Austin. There, he graduated with a double major in English and History. He was certified to teach English and History by UT San Antonio and did student teaching in the San Antonio Independent School District. Rick Riordan was always interested in books since he was little. He wrote stories in middle school and submitted his first publication at 13, but it wasn't published. The first two publishing's were two short stories in the UTSA literary magazine. Riordan worked for 3 years as a summer camp director, taught full time middle school, then 8 years at Presidio High School, then grades 6-8 English and social studies for 6 years and quit after that to become a full time writer. Riordan has written 3 book series, Percy Jackson, The Kane Chronicles, and 39 Clues; all having been New York Times #1 best-seller every time.

Introduction.

Introduction- A boy named Carter and his sister Sadie, who are Egyptian semi-gods, have to travel around the world and the magic underworld to defeat different bosses in order to stop Apophis, the most powerful ruler in the underworld, from destroying all humans and ruling everything else.

Rising Action.

Rising Action- Carter and Sadie are at an Egyptian museum looking for the last copy of a book that tells how to destroy Apophis and they find it. Unfortunately, Apophis gets to the book first and destroys it. They find the magician ghost who wrote the books and they try to convince him to take Carter and Sadie to the very secret place where the ghost hid the original copies. Carter, Sadie, and the ghost go on a crazy adventure to get to the far away place where the ghost hid the books and on the way they all go through some crazy battles.

Climax.

After Carter and Sadie's long journey and crazy battles, they arrive at the place where Apophis's shadow lies. They use the book that they found and they destroy the shadow which means that they destroyed Apophis and stopped him from destroying the world.

Falling Action

Walt, one of the other semi-gods who is along with Carter and Sadie, is under a millennium-old curse that deteriorates his body and health every time he uses magic. In the Egyptian underworld, gods can 'host' humans bodies, in other words they don't have to die, the god just stays as a human. Because Walt does not want to die at age 15, a very old god and close friend of Sadie's, Anubis, 'hosts' Walt's body and he now gets to live forever.

Theme.

The theme of "The Throne of Fire'' is to always live your life to the fullest and strive to get things done, even if it means losing something along the way. For example, "Physically, I was knackered. Magically, I'd used up every last bit of energy. I was afraid I might have permanently myself, as I had a smoldering feeling behind my sternum that was either my exhausted magic reservoir or heart burn." (p.385)

Resolution.

Carter and Sadie have destroyed Apophis's shadow and saved the world from disaster and death. Walt has his life back and is feeling better than ever, and he doesn't need to worry about getting closer to death every time he uses magic. Everything is in order and everyone gets to live a happy life.
