The End......(345)

alebmustang

Esther carried on believing that Barbarossa was the most wonderful child she had ever met-until she caught him putting her most precious earrings in his pockets and then discovered that his room was a collection of valuable items that had mysteriously appeared.Tearfully Esther sent him to an expensive boarding school where Ernesto became the terror of his teachers and fellow pupils.He forced other children to do his homework and clean his shoes. He even encouraged them to steal. He had also given himself a name that everyone had to call him. "The Thief Lord".

I chose this passage because of the fact that Esther had never had a "perfect" child. Bo was apparently to harsh and Ernesto had no heart. I also chose this passage because if you think about it the two stories connect. Scipio's and Barbarossa's. They both end up calling themselves the Thief Lord.

This passage describes how greedy and mean Barbarossa is. Throughout the whole story, Barbarossa is mean and nasty. No child is perfect! Alebmustang did a hreat job on describing theis passage.

Awesome passage Ale! When you think about it, Barbarossa could have had a second chance to start over and not be the man he was before (greedy, mean, rude, etc.). Because he was adopted into a rich family, he didn't need to steal things anymore, and yet he continued to steal. Maybe some characteristics are hard to change.

At the end, after Barbarossa becomes a child and gets adopted by Esther. He gets caught stealing and Esther sends him to boarding school. There, he becomes the troublemaker of his class. He gives himself the name, "The Thief Lord". The reason I think the author had Barbarossa name himself that was to end the story and start an untold one. I was interested when I read that passage and found it memorable also. Great Passage!

This passage describes how selfish he is; he had a choice to stay nice and not go to a boarding school. But instead, he decided to be selfish. Now in his boarding school, he became a bully. Great passage.

At the end of the book, Barbarossa is sent to a boarding school after getting caught stealing from Esther. Like Sebastian said, Barbarossa becomes the troublemaker of his class and bullies the other children. I think the reason he gives himself the name "The Thief Lord" is because he has always secretly admired the actual Thief Lord, Scipio.

This passage describes how manipulative and greedy Barbarossa can be. Throughout the whole story Barbarossa has been tricky, mean, and selfish to the children. He played " A Good Boy" after he was changed into a child so Esther would adopt him, but when Esther caught Barbarossa stealing, he was sent to boarding school and paid the consequences.

This passage shows that Barbosa is very greedy because he is used to getting money from his shop and he is not used to being broke. It also shows that he will have a similar life to scipio because he is called the "Thief Lord".

This passage shows that even if you think that someone is the best thing that happened to you they can still break your heart. He also will probably end up being the real thief lord because he is encouraging people to steal.

Barbarossa is just plain mean in not only this passage but the whole story. I feel bad for Esther for believing a lie. She must have been pretty upset. Barbarossa deserved that.
