Angela the Hebralist

[edward9]

I'm new to the internet and just posted something on Alternatehistory.com. Dear God, never again. I would like to thank the moderators and community for making this a polite respectful place. I have read a lot of sporks but no one has ever called out Paolini on Angela. First unless she is a Anglo-Greco lass... I am not even going to get started on Paolini's non existent language skills. Rip off Patricia Wrede much, Paolini? If I still had my Dealing with Dragons series I could probably prove you ripped Morwen off word for word. Renaming Amberglas (from the seven towers)Angela and making her stupid and obnoxious is not original or homage. It is plagiarism. Comparison in the comment section.

Apparently, Angela is the name of Paolini's sister, and the character is based off of her, so the name seems coincidental.

Also, in the book, Angela is against Nasuada's 1984 plan, as seen at the end of Inheritance and in Jeod's letter, so she has even less goals than you thought.

Yes, Angela is his sister. My criticism of the name is from his habit of mixing languages between different cultures which drives me crazy. It is even more infuriating from someone who claims to be a linguist which I don't. I rant a bit about this in response to Ultimate-Cheetah's spork of the Letter. I read his author's who inspire me list and Wrede is on the list. Furthermore some of what Angela says is directly plagiarized either word for word or slightly rephrased from Wrede. His claim Angela is based on his sister does not hold up although although I am happy to give her credit for some of the more stupid dialogue. I am hoping someone who has read Wrede will chime in because to me it is really obvious.
