Plays
Anigone
by Sophocles
This play is about two brothers and two sisters. The sisters spend most of the time trying to help the brothers not fall true into the prophecy that the brothers will kill each other over the thrown. When it comes true, the Uncle takes over the thrown and gives one of the brothers a proper burial while he leaves the other for the dogs for 'being a traitor' and bans anyone from burying him. One of the sisters goes against him and buries her brother, and gets put int a concrete tomb. While her (for lack of a better word) boyfriend pleads the King to release her, she takes her own life. When the King finally decides to let her go, its too late. rating 7/10.

The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
The Kite Runner is about a boy named Amir who lives in Kabul with his Baba, and their hazara servants Ali and Hassan. They lived in their house in Kabul for many years, Amir eventually decides to get rid of Hassan. They leave and years later Amir and Baba need to move to America to avoid the war. In America, Amir meets and marries a girl named Soraya. Baba dies from cancer. Amir rescues and adopts Hassan's son. I personally don't exactly like these types of books, I prefer fantasy books about animals and magic and such. so for this book, although its a well written book, I'm going to give it a 3/10.

Warriors: The New Prophecy
by Erin Hunter
Warriors: The New Prophecy is the second series of Warriors, a series about four clans of cats: Thunderclan, Riverclan, Shadowclan, and Windclan. The characters that the second series focuses on are Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool. Hence the name, there is a new prophecy for the clans "before there is peace, blood will spill blood" through the whole series, no one knows what it really means until the very end when what has been foretold happens. I'm finally done with it, and the prophecy turns out that Brambleclaw had to kill his half-brother Hawkfrost in order to save the clans. The reason I chose to write this review/summary on the whole series and not just one of the books at a time is because that would be quite a challenge because every book's problems are just a continuation from the last. To put into perspective, its pretty much one big long book that they split into six separate ones. Rating 10/10.

Divergent
Divergent is about a girl who ends up being 'divergent' which apparently is very dangerous. She switches from Abnegation to Dauntless and continues her life there. One of the other factions declares war on her home faction and everyone from Dauntless gets controlled and goes and kills people from Abnegation. For me this was a 6/10.
All of these books I think are fantasy.
