Annhilation: Star Wars (The Old Republic) - Reading Skills

Book Summary:

In Annihilation you follow two separate story lines. First, you are introduced to Theron, a Republic field agent on a classified mission to take out the Ascendant Spear along with the Jedi Knight, Gnost-Dural, who hoped to bring his old apprentice back to the "Light Side", and a recruit and criminal from the Old Tion Brotherhood, Teff'ith. Another character you follow is a Sith Lord named Darth Karrid, who pilots the Ascendant Spear.


Predictions:

I predict that when the trio are attempting to infiltrate the Ascendant Spear, Theron will successfully compromise the war ship. Though I think in Theron's success, Gnost-Dural will encounter Darth Karrid and be overwhelmed.

Questions:

A few questions I have for the author or the book are:

  • What drove Theron to risk his life for this mission?
  • Can they trust Teff'ith with her history of crime?
  • Will Gnost-Dural spare Darth Karrid?
  • Will the Commander Jase become corrupt with his new power?


Textual Connections:

In Annihilation I found a text-to-text connection with The Hobbit. The connection I found was that Theron and Bilbo both have to bring up large amounts of courage to do what's right for themselves and the people they know. They both also take command when others stray away. Finally, I found that even though they are in the complete opposite of worlds, they have similar personalities.
