'The Last Apprentice' By Joseph Delaney
In the book “The Last Apprentice: Night of the Soulstealer” by Joseph Delaney we meet an apprentice of a spook, Tom Ward. Tom has been living with his master for some time. This is the third book in the series and Tom has gained his trust from taking down a multitude of monsters in the first two books. The story starts off with Tom having a predicament, every winter, his master goes to a house in Anglezark and the spook does not want to have Alice, a witch friend of Tom’s, to be there with them. Later that evening, they get a knock on their door and a note from a shady figure dressed as a spook named Morgan; that later, Tom figures out is threatening the spook, the spook then wants to set off immediately for Anglezark. They start traveling …show more content…
I think that the story takes place around the early 19th century. The location is in England, but fantasy location that are in there. The mood of the setting is very dreary and sad; with usual rain. This is significant to the story because this is the type of weather where mystery and monsters love. The story would be a lot happier if it was set in somewhere like California, this would make the story a lot less scary when something like a witch is chasing Tom for his …show more content…
First of all, he is very brave because in the story two witches are chasing him and he fights against them. Next, Tom is loyal to who he thinks is right. This is shown when Morgan tries to force Tom into getting something for him, he has secretly been ready to give up his life if it meant that the county would be saved, and even though Morgan tried to make Tom betray the spook he was loyal to him… well… somewhat. The last big trait that I think that Tom has is he loves people. Tom, unlike many of the other characters in the story, does not have a cold heart. Tom is in love with the witch Alice and persuaded the spook, not to kill her; also, he tried to save his dad’s soul even though it could be getting him killed.

The two characters Tom and the spook are very prominent in the story are so close and so different from each other. The similarities between them is that Tom and the spook both are very loyal. The spook almost died to save some people, and Tom did the exact same thing when he was going to become a sacrifice and was ready to die for the country. The differences are that the spook does not like showing emotion while Tom is totally fine with expressing himself. Those are the two main characters in the series and can’t be so similar and can’t be so different at the same

    Tom Joad's Philosophy

    While spending time with casy, Tom begins to see himself more like Casy. He noticed this realization towards the end of the book. For example, when Tom meets Casy once more, Casy tells Tom that he has been starting a strike and he is trying to bring justice to those who have been starving. When Casy dies and Tom has to go into hiding, Tom ends up thinking a lot about Casy and his thoughts. In this quote, “Lookie, Ma. I been all day an’ all night hidin’ alone. Guess who i been thinkin’ about? Casy! He talked a lot. Used ta bother me. But now I been thinkin’ what he said, an’ I can remember - all of it. Says one time he went out in the wilderness to find his own soul, an’ he foun’ he didn’ have no soul that was his’n. Says he foun’ he jus’ got a little piece of a great big soul. Says a wilderness ain’t no good, ‘cause his little piece of a soul wasn’t no good ‘less it was with the rest, an’ was whole. Funny how I remember. Didn’ think I was even listenin’. But i know a fella ain’t no good alone. (570, Steinbeck)”. In this quote, Tom is talking to his mother about how he is going to finish what Casy started. This also proves that Tom’s philosophy has changed. Before he believed that he should put one froot in front of the other, but now he believes that each of our souls is part of a big…
