Brayden's Reading Blog: The Most Important Line from a Chapter is...: Revenge of Seven

I am still reading the Revenge of Seven by “Pittacus Lore”. Although I have read pretty far in this book, I chose to do Chapter 18 for this blog because there is a moment which is very important. So far, after everyone decided that they would go to the Sanctuary, everyone opens their Chests. These are special for everyone. The Chests contain special objects that have a certain power. For example, there are beads that you can throw in the air and it creates a mini vacuum and sucks everything near it up. Then it violently shoots everything back out, causing death to people and the destruction of objects.

As Marina (one of the Lorien), is opening her Chest, she gives Nine a pair of gloves that no one knows what it could do. It could be a normal pair of gloves or something magic. Marina doesn't know what they do. John starts to talk to Marina and says, “‘Can we be sure those aren't important? What if they’re a Phoenix Stone?’ ‘They’re gloves, Johnny,’ Nine says, not taking them off.” I chose this quote as the most important from Chapter 18 because it hints that there probably is a superpower with those gloves and it might drastically impact something.

Later, in Chapter 19, Nine discovers the power of the gloves. Nine, John, and the FBI are about to attack a building when Nine gets excited and claps his hands. This causes him to discover the power of the gloves, “The concussion of sound that detonates from Nine’s hands when he claps isn’t quite sonic-boom loud, but it’s definitely close… all of the SUV’s windows explode outward, and the car even bounces a few inches into the air.” This quote shows how dangerous the gloves are but how they can also use them to their advantage fighting the Mogadorians. This can cause the Lorien to defeat the life-long battle with them.

Below is what a FBI SUV looks like. You can see how strong the gloves would have to be to move the car back and break windows.
