Inheritance and the Relation to our World

    In our world and also the world of Alagaesia, there is rascism and prejudice. There are a variety of races in the fantasy world including: Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Urgals, Dragons, and Ra'zaac. Some of these races work together comfortably, but their is one rivalry that has gone on for centuries between the races. These races are Humans and Urgals.
    Urgals are humanoid immense beings with thick horns and rough hide. They are a war-like race, which involves warfare as an average part of life. Young rams must prove themselves by defeating and killing humans or bears and wild creatures. This idea of slaughtering does not earn you respect when you are kind of brought up in a culture where you learn to hate and kill humans, which in turn brings humans to hate urgals. Why the author made it humans as the rivals to urgals I'm not sure, but I think it's because we can relate to humans. Humans all around the world hate and judge other people, and by choosing a race that we are familiar with I think it is trying to tell us to bring us all together. And that is indeed what happened... In the book Eldest, the Urgals and the Varden (mostly human) made an alliance to fight the evil lord Galbatorix. But the leader of the Varden, Nasuada seems only interested in the request not to bring the races together, but to have extra men in her army. This seems as an evil thing to do and I disagree with her decision. She is taking advantage of a whole army which is wrong. But the other characters also have opinions, especially Eragon. Eragon was at first reluctant to become allies with members of a race he was forced to hate. Throughout the book he might jump when he see's them and pull his sword to kill them, because this is instinct to him. But over time he and some of the Urgals share stories and become better acquanted with each other. Unfortunately, Eragon adapted quickly and the rest of the Varden still hold a tension with the Urgals. One man even assassinated three urgals in their sleep and was protected by other rascists of the Varden to not be charged. This was an extremely hard decision for Nasuada because she could not save both parties. But over the books the relationship has grown to be better.
    In conclusion, the world of Alagaesia is very alike to ours. There is still rascism and still tension between races. As time goes on these fudes are dying out in both worlds, and eventually we will all be truly equal.
