3rd Indie Reading Project: Darren Shan the dynamic character. 386 words

I have been reading the Cirque Du Freak series for a while now. I started reading the series from book 2 and now I have finished reading book 11 for my indie reading book ,which is Cirque Du Freak Lord of the Shadows by Darren Shan and in every book the main character Darren Shan grows throughout every book and learns more through all the plots and danger in stored for him. Darren Shan matures in every book starting from book 1. He was a normal average boy and in each book he matures more and becomes a full grown vampire. He learns how to handle more dangerous situations by himself, he learns how to come up with good a plan on the spot when he is in trouble, and he is able to fight difficult enemies by himself without his teammates help. Darren also learns things that helps him in the real world. In one of the books he learns that it is good to have a friend that has your back to help you through tough times, but in a another book he learns not to trust every one that looks like they can be trusted. Also in one of the books he witnessed the loss a very special friend named Mr. Crepsley ,which led to him learning the theme witnessing a death of a loved one is an obstacle we all have to overcome. It was hard for Darren to overcome it but he did. In the book  In the book I have just finished reading, Cirque Du Freak Lord of the Shadows I think Darren Shan learns that everyone is born good and bad and they have a decision to choose either side.Darren Shan also faces a lot of internal conflicts, like having a tough decision about saving his ex-girlfriend Debbie when she got captured or killing the Vampaneze lord. Also faces internal conflicts like deep hate for an old bestfriend, and feeling very sad when he loss his good mentor, Mr.Crepsley. Darren also faces external conflicts, human vs human and human vs society ones. Fighting the Vampaneze and fighting other enemies are his external conflicts and Darren being a vampire himself and having to hide from humankind is another conflict. Darren has been through a lot and have grown a lot.
