This is simply a short summary of Half Brother. It tells how Ben has to chooose betweeen obeying his father and his moral beliefs. This will effect the rest of his "brother's" life.
This writer examines the parrallel between
Ben's teenage growth of character and maturity and Zan's mental and
physical growth. This opened my eyes to a new outlook of the book.
This gives a readers view of the novel. It
gives a different take on the story. This insight slightly changed my
view on the book.
This is a great essay on the connection of
the book to real life. It also compares the book to movies and other
books. One of these examples is "Planet of the Apes".
This essay, by Kenneth Oppel himself,
realtes Half Brother to some of his other stories. He talks about how in
the past he wrote from the animals perspective. However, he wasnted to
stay away from that in Half Brother.
This woman tells how Half Brother is an
emotional journey of the adolensent Ben. She talks about how his views
changed from cold and jealous of the monkey into a loving relationship.
It changed her treatment of her animal companions as well.
This is simply a general summary of the
book. This would be good for someone who is interested in reading the
novel.
The writer examines the pet/owner relationship in modern
day house holds. He talks about how these relationships would change if
there was communication. If this was possible, things would be more like
the novel.
This is another summary of Half Brother. However, this one
has more emphasis on Ben's love affairs than the others did. Project
Jennifer is a log kept in a scientific log book that he uses to try to
impress his crush, Jennifer.
This is a summary followed with a personal critique of the
book. The critique is not as positive as I expected, but i still
understand it. It explains how the author should have done a better job
with connecting the character with the reader.
This is a summary with pieces of personal thoughts of Half
Brother throughout. The writer reflects on Ben's emotions and how
well Oppel shows them. He also talks about the book cover and has a
short reflection at the end.
This page is yet another summary of the book with personal
feelings on it sprinkled about. The writer talks about how parts of the
book have to do with dominance.
This is a summary of the movie "Planet of the Apes", which
relates to the book alot. In the movie, apes are capable of all human
skills, including reading, language, government, as well as war. They
have taken over the humans. Is this the fate people who don't support
Project Zan afraid of?
This is a summary of the movie "Rise of the Planet of the
Apes", which also relates to the book very much. This is a story of how
experiments with monkeys turn into an uprise of mentally excelled
monkeys. The evolution of monkeys to humans is far fetched, but have you
ever thought of it to be possible?
This is another summary of "Rise of the Planet of the
Apes". In the movie, many monkeys are capable of sign language, and one
of them even talks. This is a lot like in Half Brother when they try to
teach Zan sign language.
