Faerie WarBook By : Herbie Brennan
Presentation By : Neecole Gregory
HENRY
Henry Said , ‘Are you having an affair wit Anais, Dad?’
His father said quietly, ‘ I’m not having an affair with Anais. Your
mother is. ‘
(pp. 16-17)
During the conflict the narrator ,Henry, is having problems with his parents
recent strange behavior. He later learns from his dad that his mom is having an affair and the narrator begins to
worry about divorce. It revels to the narrator the real
problem of his parents recent arguments and it also differs
from what he originally thought was happening. The
narrator starts to get confused about what will happen with him and his
family.
BRIMSTONE
Brimstone has to kill the second person he sees which ends up
being Pygrus. But when the royal guards come and collect Pygrus, Brimstone is left with a contract
to the demon prince, Beleth. That means eternally damnation of his soul and body. The reader
will already know that the narrator ,Brimstone, deals with dark magic after summoning
Hell’s prince. But soon he comes very paranoid and goes into
hiding.
‘No, noting like that. I just want you to sacrifice the second person you
see after you leave the circle.’
Brimstone’s eyes widen . ‘You mean a human sacrifice?’
(pp. 50)
PYGRUS
Pygrus has shrunk to the size of a butterfly and has grown the wings of one. He was suppose to go into hiding on a island in the analogue world but the portal he used didn’t work at all making go to another
destination. That shows that someone is trying to get rid of
Pygrus according to Mr. Fogarty. They both have to become friends for them to get Pygrus back to his
own world in time.
Pyrgus hesitated. ‘I didn’t. I wasn’t supposed to come here at all. Or shrink to this size. Or grow wings. There’s a filter on the House Iris
portal that stops you shrinking when you translate , but it didn’t work for
some reason.’
Fogarty sniffed. ‘Sounds to me like you were sabotaged,’ he said.
(pp. 107)
APATURA IRIS (PURPLE EMPEROR )
‘Difficult?’ Pyrgus exploded. ‘They’re trying to over throw everything we stand for!’
‘Yes, they are,’ his father agreed. ‘Indeed they are. And that is exactly why they need careful handling. I have been in negotiation with Night leaders-including Lord Hairstreak-for several months. Those negotiations have reached a
critical stage. The last thing I need is my idiot son blundering in where he isn’t wanted and
handing them new leverage on a plate!’
(pp. 85)
The conflict here is that the problems between Nighters
and Lighters are very delicate and Apatura is trying to settle things but because
of Pygrus’s actions , everything is rough again. Apatura and Pygrus never
agreed with one another and Pygrus hates politics. The
reader will see a lot of these arguments throughout the
story. It really doesn’t change.
THE IM
PERIAL PALACE
The palace itself had been built more than four hundred years ago using purple stone. The stone
had weathered over centuries until now it was almost black; although it
did faintly purple sheen at sunrise and sunset. The coloring combined with the archaic architectural style to give the building a sinister, cyclopean look.
Most visitors found it intimidating.
(pp. 80)
The author is trying to use very detailed words to help with a
very detailed description. He’s
making the palace a place where true
dedication of architectural design is highly showing. This is the home of Pygrus , Blue , and the Purple Emperor.
This place is important cause this
is where most important scenes happen like the
death of the emperor.
BRIMSTO
NE’S M
AGIC ATTIC
He was in his attic room, a gloomy, poky, low ceiling chamber with few furnishings and more grime than
the glue factory.(pp. 39)
This attic is in someway
suppose to make a connection with the type of man Brimstone really is with how dirty
and dark this place is. This is
where Brimstone does all his
conjuring and magic to control demons and also where tried to kill
Pygrus as a sacrifice to
Beleth.
CHEAPSID
E
This is where Pygrus has been hiding out here. He spends most of his time here trying to keep out of sight of his father and Lord Hairstreak’s men. This place is mentioned often in the story cause that’s where a lot of the side characters live and where Brimstone’s glue factory is at. It’s also the only place where Nighters and Lighters Fairies mix in society.
Cheapside was a place of great trouble. The streets are crowded and smelly. But the smell wasn’t the only thing . There were thieves that used pickpocket spells all the time. The weaker faire have to put purse protector spells to keep what little they had safe. All the houses were close together and cramped. This was the place of thieves and criminals and demon dealers. To any self respecting fairies this was last place to you want to be but to Pygrus it was home.(pg. 196)
HEN
RY
Henry got up early on they day that would change his life. He
was making a cardboard sculpture and he’d left it the night before for the
glue to dry out. All he had to do now was
add a toothpick shaft and some decoration and the flying pig is
finished.(pp.1)The author used
the whole first sentence to
foreshadow to the reader what might happen
later in the story. It also shows that
cause Henry is put on the first page that he is established a
main character.
BLUE
Her Serene Highness Princess Holly Blue thought something
was amiss when she stepped from her bed-corridor outside. Priest never ran anywhere,
even technician priest.(pp,120)
In this part of the story again
foreshadowing gives a hint of
what might happen later in the story. Also
introduces a main character. It even
gives a back ground on the
character Blue by telling us she’s a Princess. Again it switched off to
Blue being narrator.
MR. FO
GARTY
‘Why would he say he did if he didn’t?’
‘To keep us off guard,’ Fogarty told him
soberly.‘What could be more
innocent than a sweet little fairy with
butterfly wings . . . in trouble?’
‘Keep us off guard about what?’ Henry
asked.Fogarty pursed his lip, leaned foreword and dropped his voice.
‘The alien invasion.’ (pp.108)Mr. Fogarty is
suspicious of Pygrus while he’s in fairy
from. He believes it’s a
start of an alien invasion and doesn’t
trust him nor does he believe
that all this portal trouble
was really happening or was it a cover
up.
Author’s PurposeI think that author’s purpose was to show readers
that science , reality , and fantasy can come together to make a really good story. The story has a lot of science around it cause the story is about the clashing of two worlds. Also how the main characters transfer back and forth using scientific machinery that allows them to. Reality cause it touches mostly on all three of the teenage main characters; Blue , Pygrus, and Henry. They all have very different live and all different problems. Like Henry with his parents beginning to separate. Pygrus, with him not wanting to get into politics and become the next purple emperor. But Blue has the least of the problems and they don’t start until her brother disappears. Then fantasy in the main thing in the story. The whole process of people going from dimension to dimension is noting but fantasy. Two of the main characters , Pygrus and Blue , are fairies. Also when Henry meets Pygrus, he’s a tiny fairy. All of these components mix together to make a really thrilling book.
