3. BREAKDOWN1
The Book Cover
shows a diagram of
an iceberg which is
also the name of the
book, the type used
on the title is a Sans
Serif, and looks cold
and hard much like
the properties of ice,
giving the book a
cold feeling to it.
The book is called
lord of the flies not
because of
someone being a
ruler of flies, it is
to do with the
death of animals
and attracting
flies, to represent
this they show a
pig head on a
spike with
thousands of flies
This book is called
Valkyrie, which was
the operation to kill
Adolf Hitler, many
different methods
were devised to kill
him but all were foiled
by him surviving all
the attacks, the book
cover shows a black
and white image of
Hitler with a Red-Dot
on his head from a
gun.
The method used on
this book is rather
good, the name of
the book is Cool It,
and to show this in
the most creative
way they had the
book cover go from
red (A ‘HOT’ colour)
to blue (A ‘COLD’
colour), which
makes a good
contrast

6. BOOKOFMYCHOICE
A Series of Unfortunate Events is the story of the three
Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Claus and Sunny. The books are
narrated by Lemony Snicket, a mysterious man who follows the
story through clues passed on through a secret organization
known only as the V.F.D. The series begins with the three
children losing their parents in a fire. Consequently, a banker
named Mr. Poe takes charge of the children and leaves them with
the nearest relative, Count Olaf. The children, however, are
dubious to the fact that Olaf is actually a relative. Olaf and
his troupe become the villain of the series. During their stay
with Count Olaf, the children are forced to perform ridiculous
and cruel tasks. Eventually, the children are able to escape,
and though the children are not still under Olaf's care, he is
still intent on finding them and stealing their money. In each
book, the children are given a different guardian which causes
more problems for them. In their attempts to settle down into a
home, the orphans find that the problems they encounter all
seem to be pointing to the same mysterious agency, the V.F.D.
They meet many members of this secret organization that train
them in different areas. Violet is a great inventor. Klaus is
good at research. And, Sunny, though just a baby, is good at
biting things, and eventually becomes a wonderful cook. The
mystery of the V.F.D. compounds as the series goes on, making
it often ambiguous as to whether the agency is good or bad.
I am going to be focusing on the 2nd book, The Reptile Room
