I will be reading a new book called the House of Hades. It is the fourth installment of the heroes of Olympus series, this book will feature an epic battle where Percy Jackson will attempt to close the doors of death in the pit of Tartarus. If he does this, the war will be own, but if not, the battle will have just begun.

          Today I will give a theme and summary of the rest of Inferno. What has happened recently is that they found exactly where the solobon bag was and found it to be already dispersed. After a long chase by Langdon to find sienna. She tells him that what was released did not kill, It made people infertile, and only activated a certain amount of the time.
          The theme for this story altogether is that man, when left to his own ambitions, will do anything for anything. In this case, Bertrand Zobrist was left on his own to do something he believed would save the world.

          Today I am going to give a theme and summary of the most recent chapters of this story. The summary is that Langdon has recently found out that he was drugged and surgically given an incision in the skull to make him think he was shot and the amnesia was a result of the shot. They then tall him that they were trying to make him think people were trying to kill him despite the fact that nobody was.
          The theme of these last few chapters is to expect the unexpected. This is because there were many things that I thought were for certain,( dr. Sinskey drugged in the van, running from Vayentha) were all fake, that just means that all the unexpected things happened.

          Today I am going to talk about the character development of dr. Elizabeth Sinskey, the director of WHO. Recently she has teamed up with the provost, this is because he decided to finally view the video Bertrand Zobrist asked him to post to the world earlier in the story. Then, when Langdon gets captured and put on the ship, and she tells him she purposely drugged herself so her inner ear infection doesn't hurt her, but the drugs had a side effect, they made her really drowsy, so she looked like she was a captive to her own soldiers!
          Sinskey will affect the story because she has a bunch of soldiers that have access to the law and shall help Langdon to find the diseased Baggie before it des solves in the water and releases the disastrous plague that would decimate humanity. She will also provide the transportation to get to the far-off place that has the plague in the form of a C-130.

          O you possessed of sturdy intellect, observe the teaching that is hidden here...beneath the veil of verses so obscure. Seek the treacherous doge of Venice who severed the heads from horses... and plucked up the bones of the blind. Kneel within the gilded mounseion of holy wisdom, and place thine ear to the ground, listening for the sounds of trickling water. Follow deep into the sunken palace...for here, in the darkness, the chthonic monster waits, submerged in the bloodred waters...of the lagoon that reflects no stars.
          That was a paragraph from the story that I am reading that was an intended mystery for the main characters to figure out. I will attemp to figure out what it is saying, as well as how it may affect the story. What I think it means is that the smarter people should try to read what the message in between the lines is, the theme, if you will. And in Venice, somewhere, if you lie down and listen, you will hear a small trickling of water that leads to an underground palace that has a deadly disease in it. How I think this may affect the story is that Langdon and co. will go to Venice, and find that the message does not end in Venice after all.

          Today I am going to ponder what has happened in the story and what might happen in the story from now on. What has most recently happened is that Langdon and Sienna have found Dante's mask with a message written on the back of the forehead; PPPPPPP. This is a very unusual message and near the end of the chapter it was hinted that the message was very obvious for people who studied dante. I think it will have to do with the rings of hell that dante made in his Divine Comedy.
          What else happened at the end of the chapter is someone who has been following the main characters in the most recent chapters is waiting for them, and for some reason have 3k in his pocket. And a thought of his was highlighted, thank god avairce is an international sin. I think that this may either be an ally of WHO, or Zobrist (the antagonist) who did not die when he jumped from the tower. What actually is true may reveal itself in the next few chapters.

           Today I will summarize and make a theme for what has recently happened in Inferno  what has happened is that there has been a somewhat rewind in events when the story goes to the point of view of the director of WHO, and there is an obvious theme to these specific flashbacks, don't mess with people who are extremely confident. This is the theme because we know that the director was somehow kidnapped by soldiers hired by this man, and is now drugged and trapped, so I can tell that up until that point, the director did not succeed in stopping this mysterious man. So when she finds out beyond any reasonable doubt that this man was a bioterrorist, she proceeded to threaten him while he is all relaxed and confident in his victory.
          While the flashbacks only composed of two chapters of a grand total of thirty chapters that I have read so far, the latter of them mostly composed of Langdon and Sienna running away from the Italian police and constantly escaping by a thread. The theme of these chapters is wisdom conquers all, no matter how much firepower and resources the other side has. Recently, they had to use an old Chinese interrogation technique to get a combination out of a guard to get into a corridor which will both lead to their escape, but will also help them answer all the questions they have been asking.

          For this exciting blog post I will talk about character development of Robert Langdon for the last two chapters. Initially in the story he started out having next to no memory of the last few days caused by a bullet wound to the head. Only recently has he started to figure out what had occurred in those select few days. When he came into the hospital he was thought to be saying very sorry, as if he had done something wrong, but it turned out he was saying the name of a famous artist, Vasari .

          Another thing that he was thought to have said, though it was not recorded, was, "If I don't succeed, all is death.",  and this has a very big impact on the story and on Langdon as a character because it adds on a more panicked attitude to the characters in the story and an advantageous role of the antagonists involved within the story.
