Warbreaker

Warbreaker has been one of my favorite reading that we have done so far. Sanderson put new ideas into what magic is, how it is an essential part of people, that everyone can have it given the right circumstances and that it can run out. Other magic in storied seem like a never ending supply.The characters mumble a few words that don't make any sense to us and 'bam' magic happens. The characters in Warbreaker don't use unknown words but simple commands and they put their life into those commands. Sanderson knows that words are a powerful thing in our lives, they can hurt or heal and he uses that and makes a world where words can literally hurt people, even take their lives away.
The Color of Magic is another form in which magic is seen in a different light than before. the concept of a tourist in a new land is very familiar to us, but when he is put into a world of magic we can see a little bit of ourselves in him. Twoflower acts just like a any other tourist would in our world, only his adventures seem to be a little more fantastic. He behaves in a way that we might when we see a foreign place for the first time. I can identify with some of his actions because I have been a tourist before. Because of this it feels easier for me to get into the movie and makes the world feel like one that might possibly exist somewhere.
