  6. Favorite character My favorite character has to be Debera. She is fun and a great character. She disobeys her dad and goes to Telgar’s hatching where she impresses Morath. You see in the book the as she grows up and learns weyr tradition that she is a great person. She cares about other people as you see with the help see gives Iantine.

  7. Least Favorite Character Chalkin • Chalkin is a greedy Holder. • He runs Bitra Hold with strictness and cruelty. • Closes his borders so people can’t escape the eminence of Thread. • Put on trial and banished to an outlining island so as to not cause any more problems. • Uses the Charter to his advantage and disregards it when it does not soot him.

  8. Exposition • Winter solstice meeting of leaders • TelgarWeyr’s training over Fort Hold • Preparations are in way for Thread • The College’s decision on a Rosetta stone • Teachers figure out a new way to teach people

  14. Themes • Education • Abuse • Unknown Rights • Types of Government

  15. My Social Issue Education In the book the common people get into trouble because they are uneducated and they aren’t able to read their rights given to them in the Charter. There are many things in education that governments and communities fight over. There are debates ranging from music education to how much money any district can have even here in Utah.
