Text to Text Connections

One of the characters in The Fall of Five, Sam, reminds me of Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series. Sam is a very nerdy character. In the first book, he seems useless. He doesn't seem very important. This is exactly how I would describe Neville. They both seemed like they were just extra characters and the story would still be the same without them. But, you find out that Sam is a very important character and he has helped the Loric a lot. Also, his dad is important, and without Sam, you can't have his dad. The same thing applies to Neville. Neville had a very important part in the last book of the Harry Potter series. Without either of these characters, the stories wouldn't be the same.

Another character in The Fall of Five, Six, reminds me of Katniss from The Hunger Games. Six is a strong character. She is very important and she fights as well as the boys in the book. Katniss is the same way. While Katniss is in the Hunger Games, she fights just as well as the boys and survives throughout it. They are both strong, female characters. Both of them get made fun of sometimes, but they find it annoying and respong the same way. Also, Katniss lost her father and has lots of flashbacks to that. Six lost her guardian, and always thinks about that. Although they have both lost loved ones, they perservere and are strong and help the cause they are fighting for.
