I am on page 97 in the book King of Shadows by Susan Cooper. Many people have changed in this part of the book! It makes me want to keep reading!
Back in Shakespeare's time, Nat was going to move to live with Shakespeare! While Nat's there, somebody comes to their door and barged into Shakespeare's study! Nat listened in on them. The other man was talking about A Mid Summer's Night Dream. This was the same play that the queen was going to see secretly. The other person was trying to get Shakespeare to not let the queen go to the play because she wasn't allowed to and would have to sneak in. This means that she could be kidnapped or something since there would be no guards! Nat was practicing plays with the ,one and only, Shakespeare Roper and Nat kept on arguing. Roper was Nat's enemy and he didn't try to hid it. But one day while they were back stage, Roper took a bite of an apple. He started choking on it! Nat did the Heimlich maneuver to him, and saved his life. The only problem was, the Heimlich wasn't invented yet! Nat just told the people watching him that his aunt taught him how to do it. Roper went over to Nat and told him that pretty much he's been a jerk.
A question that I have for this part of the story is why couldn't the queen come to the theater with guards without sneaking in? I think that the queen might have people that worry about her a lot and care about her a lot.
I predict that Roper will be mean again later. I think this because the kind of people Roper are usually too proud to actually like somebody after they hated them. They just can't do it.
My connection for this part of the book has to do with Nat listening in on Shakespeare and the man. This reminds of how I put on my detective shoes:) near Christmas-time and Birthday-time to find out what my presents are! Last Christmas, I found out what my aunt was getting me about a month before Christmas(my dad's phone!.. SHH! :).
