Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Guest Blogger Day

The assignment was: Pretend you are the author of a book. Tell us why you wrote it and what you hope readers will get out of it. Write it from the first person point of view.

I am Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon and its sequels. There were many reasons why I wrote my books. There were many things that interested me. I would like to start off my reasons with what my books are about. Basically, the Inheritance series is about the magical world of Alagaesia, where Eragon and his dragon Saphira have to battle evil forces, try to find out about Eragon’s past, and learn to be a dragon rider.

What really inspired me to write my books was my interest in fiction and science fiction. This is what made me start writing my novels. And I would like to thank my friends and family for giving me the opportunity to have my books published. I would also like to thank the readers who took their time to read my books. Knowing that I have provided entertainment kept me writing.

I also wanted to teach my readers morals too. One moral that I wanted my readers to understand is the moral of trusting your friend and don’t doubt them even if they are suspicious. Another moral is that courage and teamwork can help you through many things. They could help you through the toughest times.

Besides teamwork and trust, there are also examples of bravery, risk, and trying your best in Eragon. Bravery is something everyone should have because without bravery, you will never succeed in life because you are too scared to try. Risk is a skill trait that is used commonly. Without taking risks, you will miss out on all the important parts of life because of constant what if questions. Finally, there is trying your best. You will never fail in life if you try. Always practice and you will achieve great things.

My reasons for writing Eragon are simple; I thank my friends and family for helping me write a successful book. And I would like to thank the readers for reading my books. I dedicate my books to my friends, family, and the readers.
