My Favorite Character

Fifth Grade

MEDALLION

Point of View The novel is

written in third person with Prince Trave being the main character followed in the story.

Setting This story is set in

the Medieval times in a land called Gadalla. Gris and Trave travel to the Kolonian border passing through Rubran, Skreel Forest, Blee Bog, Dider, Ogham Pass and Torus Point.

Characters Prince Trave is the prideful

prince of a land ruled by his lazy uncle, Panii. Gris is the King of Kapnos who comes to see King Panii. Tanarad is one of Gris’s Captains and an excellent horseman. Sard is a cruel character who wants to capture, the prince, get the medallion and deal with Gris. Thag is a high ranking Sardan who wants to take Gadalla by force. Enna is the kind girl who heals Trave’s wrists when he is injured.

Rising Events Prince Trave is the prideful prince of a land

called Gadalla. His country is ruled by his lazy uncle, Panii. His uncle refuses to side with the other good countries called Kapnos, Kolonia, and Dider. Then Gris, King of Kapnos, comes to see King Panii in Ganet, the capital of Gadalla. Panii still refuses to become allies with the other countries even though the Dark Alliance-- the three remaining countries of Sarda, Torridia, and Litoris-- plan to take over Gadalla by force. Then Gris tells Trave of a medallion. A medallion that belonged to Trave's late father. A medallion that the true king of Gadalla needs. A medallion that is needed to successfully rule the kingdom. Then Trave leaves with Gris in search of his father's medallion.

Problems On this long

journey, Trave encounters spies, an earthquake, an immense bog inhabited by a mysterious hermit, and giant birds of prey. Because of pride and flattery, he refuses to listen to Gris and he briefly joins the bad side and soon realizes that was a huge mistake.

Solutions Trave becomes less

critical of others and is humbled through the experiences of this journey. He learns that Kings need to show compassion for their men and be concerned with their safety and well being. He learns that it is important to be decisive, but to listen to his people. He becomes king and wears the medallion that Gris had around his chest the entire time.

Theme Qualities such as honesty, hard-work,

loyalty and forgiveness are present themes in this novel. Being a good judge of character, knowing the dangers of false pride, learning to lead by following and understanding the value of loyalty and authority are also important. In his journeys, Trave learns the duties of a king: to learn what is true, to believe the truth and to act on that belief.
