The Mysterious Benedict Society-Final Post

This is my last entry on the Book The Mysterious Benedict society. Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance are in the middle of stopping what could become a world crisis; a crisis that would be very dangerous to everyone. As I near the end, I am noticing some changes in the characters that occurred throughout the book. The character who changed the most was Constance. In the beginning of the book, Constance was a grumpy, mean character who wanted, most of the time, to do nothing with other people. She was fine by herself, and often got angry at others, or annoyed them often. Now, Constance realizes how important it is to work with other people. She understands that if you don't work with other people, you won't be as successful. While she still has moments when she is rude or grumpy or mean, most of the time it is in a toned-down scale, if not present at all. This brings me to my next point, the theme of the book. I believe that one of the book's main themes is portrayed in several ways, in a variety of characters, as well as events. I think Constance holds a key and important part in helping the reader identify a theme. I believe that theme to be that the only way to do a task efficiently and successfully is to use teamwork, because then there are more people with a variety of skills to bring to the table, as well as simply a higher number of people to achieve higher efficiency. A variety of skills and high efficiency sets almost anyone up for success. The author does a great job revealing theme by creating a conflict, then resolving it partially, which, in turn, gives the characters success in their mission. I feel like the book was written vary well by the author. It's hard to exactly describe it, but there is definitely a unique tone, sense, and feeling when you read this text. You could say that the author adds a lot of words to describe exactly why characters do things, even when it isn't necessary. In general, the author provides many "mini-descriptions" about a simplistic, and very small events; some only take up 1 sentence. This gives the book that unique tone and feeling when you read it. Overall, I would say that the book is well written and provides a great conflict in which lessons can be learned.
