My claws curved around the little pot, cradling it like the most precious of gems. Carefully, I lifted it to my mouth. Closing my eyes, I tipped the luxuriant, hot liquid into my mouth.

Ohhhhh!

Bliss exploded through my senses. I reeled with pleasure.

Chocolate chocolate chocolate-

“Ahhhh!”

And then everything exploded inside me, and the world went black.

This is a quote from the book The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart by Stephanie Burgis. In this book the main character, Aventurine sets out on an adventure to find chocolate after she first tasted it.

Silke is a character that is always persistent. She is always trying to help aventurine out. For example, when she first met aventurine she was always determined to show her around and just help her in general. Silke was constantly showing aventurine what things were, for example, she went out of her way to show aventurine things like her what hair is. To conclude, Silke is a nice character that was very helpful to aventurine.

Another character who is always persistent is Aventurine. She always keeps trying no matter what happens. For example, she always wanted to go out of her cavern and hunt by herself. She was persistent and eventually, she ventured out of her cavern. Another example is when she wanted to work at a chocolate house she always kept trying and eventually got a job at one. To conclude, aventurine always wants to persist and always wants to move forward.

Aventurine’s mother is very persistent. In the beginning, she was always trying to convince Aventurine that she should not go hunting by herself. She was very persistent and whenever she could she would tell aventurine to not go hunting by herself and that it was dangerous. If aventurine would have listened she would have not been turned into a human. To conclude, Aventurine’s mother is very persistent and was trying to help aventurine.

All of the characters that were mentioned are persistent. Silke because she persists when helping Aventurine. Aventurine because when she got rejected by chocolate houses she still persisted. And Aventurine’s mother because she always persisted when telling aventurine not to go hunting. These characters are all persistent no matter what happens.
