In the book Evil Star  Matt finds himself in another situation. He needs to stop one of the most powerful men in South America. In order to break into the compound he needs to gather a small army.  Matt gets 50 f the remaining Inca tribesmen to help him. They wanted to help him the whole time. They know that they are risking their life but they know it is for a good cause.

            A lesson this teaches you is that its not about quantity its about quality. Even if you don’t have a lot of soldiers it doesn’t mean that you are worse then the opponent that has more. You could have a bunch of weak soldiers that would be worse then a small group of good quality soldiers. It is not only for soldiers it is for a lot of things. If you have a lot of friends but none of them really know you it would be worse than if you had a few friends that you were close to.

           

            In more than one way it is important that you have quality over quantity. You could have a lot of cheap things but none of them are high quality they will wear down easily. People should think about this when they decide important decisions in life.

In the book “Evil Star” Matt, the protagonist, fids himself in another bad situation. Someone from the Nexus, the secret group who is trying to protect Matt, is telling the Peruvian police secret information about Matt. No one in the Nexus knows who it is but, they are soon going to find out.

Without the help of the ancient Incas that are very sparse Matt would be dead. The Incas know every secret passageway in Peru. These passageways help Matt get away from the police and nearly death. Matt is very brave. If Matt wasn’t brave he wouldn’t be alive because he wouldn’t trust anyone. When matt went into the first passageway underneath Peru he was scared. The fact that if he didn’t go in he would be shot by the police forced him to trust a random person. Most people wouldn’t have gone in to a dark and secret tunnel with someone that they don’t know which is good but if you are in a life or death situation you have to trust anyone that is not the enemy.  The remainder of the Inca tribe is trying to help Matt because they know that he is a special kid. If he didn’t trust them he would be dead.

It’s not always a good idea to trust strangers. If a stranger tells you to go inside a dark tunnel it is probably not a good idea unless you have no other choice. It is highly unlikely that you will ever be in a life or death situation. Knowing who to trust is a big issue. If you trust the wrong people bad things can happen to you. If you know who to trust you will always be safe.
