Oliver’s IRJE#1

The Traitor’s Son, by Perdro Urvi, is about a boy who is born to a famous person who had, apparently, tried to kill the king and who had led the king into a trap. The boys name is Lasgol. He is trying to prove his fathers innocence and he joins a group called the Rangers who are tasked with protection of the kingdom. Some early foreshadowing as to an explanation that could explain his father’s innocence is the following:

“There are those who can manipulate others minds. Just think, they can make you do things you’d never do.”

“That’s awful.”

“Exactly. They call them Dominators. They’re very dangerous as they can affect peoples minds, making them believe things that aren’t real. They say they can make you fall asleep wherever you happen to be, or take your own life….and what’s much worse, make you take somebody else’s life.” (p.83).

If you look closely you can see the obvious clue hidden in this quote. I chose this quote because it tends to distract you with the description and you end up not seeing the clue that is hidden inside it.
