In my book Champion by Marie Lu I can make a ton of connections to other books, video games, etc. But its these connections that allow me to relate even more to the book and have an even better idea of what Marie is trying to say or get across to the reader. One of the connections is a text to text connection. In the book Champion when they visit Alaska their world is all about being a high level in a video game where they want to do as many good things as possible or amazing feats to get to the top of the hierarchy. A book that this reminded me of is Epic by Conor Kostick. In this book they too settle everything by playing a video game and becoming more powerful makes you more respected.
Another connection I had was text to world, and this is related to World of Warcraft developed by the company Blizzard. In this game you start at level 1 and work your way up to level 90 (the max level) and once you do you get great rewards and people respect you. But to be more specific in this game, you start out with barely anything and by doing quests and good things for other people you get rewards and level up which gains you access to more advanced places just like Alaska in Champion.
My last connection is to myself and it rolls into the same category as the second one because it involves World of Warcraft. I have played that and payed for the subscription fee for one month and realized I didn't like it that much. I too wanted to get to the highest level and know what it felt like to be very powerful but I realized there were much better things to do in life. My question is, does World of Warcraft sound like a good game TO YOU?
