Dragon’s Blood

This is about the book Dragon’s Blood by Jane Yolen.

First, Jakkin steals a dragon’s egg from his master Sarkkhan’s dragon nursery where he is a bond servant. Next he finds a footprint of someone watching him. He finds out, it’s Akki a girl who is spying on him and she is a doctor’s assistant. Then, he and his dragon are attacked by a Drakk which is a giant bat-like monster that really stinks and it is Akki who saves him. After that, he goes to the dragon pit and his dragon wins the fight and he finds out she is a mute, which is a dragon that cannot roar. Finally, Jakkin finds out that it was another character Likkarn who was spying on him and his master Sarkkhan knew the whole time and his master wasn’t mad.

  The characters problem is he is a bond servant which is a little better than a slave. He solves the problem by stealing a dragon and being a fighter to pay off his bond. My character changes because he becomes more nervous when he becomes a master at the end of the book. What Jakkin learned about himself is that “he fills his own bag” which means that he doesn’t have or want help to pay his bond.

  The setting of my book is on Austar IV which is a make believe desert planet. It is important for the story to take place here because if it hadn’t been there he wouldn’t have had to build his own oasis for his baby dragon, Heart’s Blood.

  The character I chose is Akki, who is important to the story because if she wasn’t there, Jakkin might not have survived the Drakk attack and neither would his baby dragon, Heart’s Blood. Her role in the story is she is Master Sarkkhan’s daughter but no one knows until the end of the story.

In the Spderwick Chronicles book 2, The Seeing Eye Stone, there was a character that was kept in a cage named Hogsqueal. At first they thought they couldn’t trust Hogsqueal because he was locked up in a goblins cage. Also he is a type of goblin called a Hobgoblin which plays more tricks but doesn’t intend to hurt anyone as much as other types of goblins. In Heart’s Blood Jakkin thought he couldn’t trust Akki. Jakkin thought Akki was someone else when he saw a big footprint which he didn’t think was hers and he thought that the person who made the foot print could pose a theat. Both books had someone thinking the other person was a threat. Both stories showed that sometimes you have to trust what you think is the enemy and you shouldn’t judge people before you get to know them.
