Outside reading sectin one

For my outside reading book this quarter I'm reading The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. One of the obvious main characters of this book is Jason Bourne. Jason Bourne is a secret identity for the real man David Web. Bourne is motivated in this book by his love for his wife Marie. Marie was kidnapped in the beggining of the book and Bourne will do anything to get her back including follow her trail to Asia, "'It's done,' said the diplomat' He's on the plane to Kowloon" (Ludlum 111). Nothing will stop Bourne from getting his wife back. Another character is Alexander Conklin. Conklin is now a retired CIA agent who now seems to drown himself in boose to forget his past mistakes. Conklin is confronted by Bourne and Bourne convinces him to help him in his quest. Conklin is motivated by his guilt, wanting to repay for his past prejudice against Bourne. These are the two main characters so far but many more will surley develop in the near future.
The major conflict in this book is that Marie is kidnapped and Bourne must save her. Bourne first finds out about Maries disapearence when returning home from his teaching job one day, "Then he saw it. a note lying on the pillow on her side of the bed" (58). This note said that they had taken Marie but were very vauge about what they had done. Bourne praying that Marie is still alive follows the trail to Asia with the help of his old enemy, Conklin. Bourne is now hot on the trail of an arms dealer that he believes might be in contact with the kidnappers. The arms dealer may be Bourne's only hope. Not only does this adventure help him find Maire but it helps Bourne discover more about himself. Because of the amnesia that Bourne sufferd he has trouble remebering his past but as he travels to Asia, images of his past reappear in his head. This adventure will definatley help uncover Bourne's mysterious past.
This novel so far is similar to Extremley Loud and Incredibly Close becuase both of these have similar topics. In both novels the main character is trying to find the one that they love the most, eather their father like in Extremley or thier wife like in The Bourne Supremacy. Both main characters are also looking to discover more about themselves. Oskar from Exremley is looking to discover more about how he can survive the loss of his dad while Bourne is looking to remeber his past that he lost during the amnesia he suffered about a year ago. Basicly both characters have the same basic goals, Bourne's adventure is just more action packed.
