Cool Quotes from Dragon Rider

On page 43 of DRAGON RIDER it said, "The computer hummed like a captive bumblebee, the screen flickered--and went black." I liked this quote because it's interesting that the book is about dragons, and other mythical creatures, but yet it includes a computer that a talking rat actually owns. The quote also includes a simile when it said that "the computer hummed like a captive bumblebee". One last thing I noticed about the quote was that computers die all the time in everyday life so this quote can apply to the world.

On pages 80-81 there was a quote that says, "But he was bored--consumed by boredom. It made wild and savage, more ferocious than a chained dog, and so bad-tempered that he had long ago eaten most of his servants." This quote is important to me because it describes the "bad guy" who is really a dragon. This golden dragon is hunting down silver dragons to eat. Firedrake the main dragon or character is a silver dragon.

On page129, a quote that I liked was, "'I've discussed rare minerals with dwarves, the flavor of tree bark with trolls, immortality with fairies, and enchantment with a fiery salamander.'" This quote is important to me because Barnabas Greenbloom is telling Firedrake to trust him by showing him all the "fabulous creatures" he has met.

On page 244, "He was spellbound by all her tales of mermaids, ship-haunting sprites, eight-armed krakens, royal mermen and singing giant rays, luminous fish and coral gnomes, shark-faced demons and the children of the sea who ride on whales." This quote is important because it names a lot of the creatures that live in the sea.
