Project(1st Quarter Character development)

In this quarter I read the book named Going Solo By Roald Dahl . This book is an autobiography of Ronald Dahl. The book is about he first going to Dar es Salaam working for Shell Oil. Then World War Two breaks out he leaves to Nairobi where the joins R.A.F  where he begins flying training to be able to go to war. After a few months in flying training he crashes in Egypt almost becoming blind. After his recovery he is sent to Greece where he has to fight the Italians which outnumber the R.A.F pilots.

Roald Dahl Develompent :  Since the beginning of the book young Roald shows that he is willing to learn and gain knowledge given to him by different people from different countries and he also loves eccentric and rare stuff this are shown in thsi quote. "All in all, it was rather wonderful for me, a conventional young lad from the suburbs , to be thrust suddenly into the middle of this pack of sineway sunburt gophers and their bright bony little wives, and what i liked best of all about them was thier ecentricities" Ch. 1 pg. 3. In this quote he tells us that this adventure is perfect for him this is shown throught the book becaue of the attitude he has during the events described.  After his first encounter with a snake which was when the deadly black mamba was slithering near Salimu and preparing to attack. After this event he felt really good because he felt he had saved Salimus life by telling him that the snake was behind him, he felt proud about this, but also he knew that he had to become more tedious and careful about snakes becase in this specific part of the world they are deadly. This is shown in pages 30 and 31 in chapter 3. The first quote is "About a month  after the black mamba incident..." This shows that this incident made a big impact on him and then he tells Mr. and Ms. Stanford about it "I told him about the black mamba and Salimu". He is proud to show that he saved a young  lad's life. This examples show that during the book he became a better person and had to defend his life in real life situations.

The author in this book gives some clues to make you predict as an example in pages 117 and 118 Roald Dahl gives clues about his army going to Greece to fight against the Italians. In this case it makes you predict Roald is going to Greece to support his army.
Tone and Mood:
The author gives the tone depending the situation. As an example when Roald sees the chefs wife being eaten by a lion his tone is amused. It was amused because he had never seen something like that. And the mood of the author during the book is that he is intersted and having fun but he is always concerned of what he is doing.
