"I had always wondered what it felt like to die."
When i read this i was thinking "why would someone wonder about what it feels like to die" it was really weird when i first read it, they were probably thinking about the people who died during the battles and how they felt. It was interesting to me because when i started to read the book that was the first thing that struck me as interesting. Also because after i read that i wanted to know who was thinking that,and why they were thinking that. It's really weird that when you are reading that is at the top of the page and its kind of where the story starts. It also makes you think about the characters and what they are going to be like.
"Oh God," my cousin said when she saw my hands.
When i read this at the end of the paragraph i didn't know his hands would be that bad. He didn't describe his hands in detail, so you would never know how his hands looked. But when you read the last sentence in the paragraph you can tell that his hands are badly hurt.
"I was only a child, he told me. What prodigies of valor could be expected from a lad of ten? 'Boys are mean at ten in Sparta,' I declared.
This quote really struck me because it tells alot about the character Xerxes. He is telling a story about his childhood. You can tell that when he was a child he really wanted to grow up and be something great
