I extremely dislike Heather. This is because she was the new one in town, and Melinda was the only one who took her in and talked to her. All Heather wanted was to be part of a group. After she finally got included in one of the big groups and school, she just dumped Melinda, and didn’t want to be associated with her anymore. This made me like Heather even less because that is just not how you treat friends. Also, she was really annoying in the first place. Once Heather needed help, she went to Melinda, and wanted her to help and be her friend again. I was happy when I read that Melinda refused to help her. I would not have wanted to be friends with her again, especially if she used me the way she had for Melinda. Heather is annoying, and only cares about popularity.
I wish that the author would have included more at the end. One thing I would have liked to have read about was Melinda reuniting with her friends. Also, I would have liked to have seen what happened with her art project that she has been working on all year. Last, it would have been nice to see if anything happened with her and her lab partner. Throughout the book, they talked and connected a lot, so it would have been nice to see if they would have gotten together or not. The end of the story kind of let me down. It was not as exciting as I had expected it to be, nor did I feel like the book was complete. One thing I did like was how Andy Evans got caught. I like how he was caught in the act of attacking Melinda because then no one can think that she is lying. Also, I dislike Andy, so I am happy that no one likes his character anymore. Overall though, the book was pretty good.
The character I most admire in my story would have to be Marlena. The reason I like Marlena so much is because she is incredibly strong. No matter how many times her husband hits her she acts like nothing happened and continues to express her love and joy for animals. I also like that though everyone thought she kept to herself, she becomes very close with Jacob, so close they start to fall in love. I believe Marlena has so much fight in her, her and Jacob will be able to get away from August and his goons.
If i were Jacob at this point I would not listen to August, even if it cost me my job. The way he treats both people and animals is unexceptable, and no one should have to see that much hurt and pain all the time. He's a bad person who is melicious and only cares about money. If Jacob truly loves Marlena he'd have her come with him. This would be very tricky though because August has men that could kill them if they caught the two together. At this point the best thing to do would be run as far away as possible with Marlena at his side.
I think that the relationship between Norbert Doyle, Stevie, and Susan is interesting. I think this because they get to hang out with him a lot. They got a huge newspaper article out of the time they spend with him. This is that he gets to start game 2 of the World Series. He tells them a lot about his life which would be interesting. They are really close to him and continue getting closer to him. This would be sweet to actually do as a kid.
John is now suppose to go out with his dad for something to eat but doesn’t want to because he doesn’t like his dad. I don’t know why john doesn’t like his dad and doesn’t want to eat with him. Did his dad make him upset? Or does he just not like his dad overall? John mostly doesn’t like his father because he tries to hard to be a good father or a good anything. He tries way to hard at everything he does john says. DYLAN SHILTS
When Theresa goes to North Carolina, she finds Garrett the guy that she is looking for. I think that the relationship between Theresa and Garrett is interesting because they both kind of have similar backgrounds. After Theresa’s divorce and Garrett’s loss they both haven’t had a serious relationship or have gone on any dates. Garrett is really struggling when he goes sailing with Theresa because Theresa is reminding him about Catherine. When the two of them were telling each other things about themselves, I think that Garrett accepted that Theresa has a son of her own. I believe that Garrett thinks that Theresa might be the one because the next day after sailing Garrett cannot stop thinking about Theresa. I also think that Theresa thinks that Garrett might be the one because after sailing she purposely left her jacket in the boat so she would have to come back and get it the next day.
When john was in the restraunt he new his dad was going to give him some stupid present that he really didn’t like but pretended like he did anyway. I don’t think john appreciates everything that his dad does for him. Sure enough his dad comes to the restraunt, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a rhyming dictionary. If I was in Johns position at this point I really wouldn’t know what to think besides he is trying to hard to make me happy. John didn’t know what to say to his dad or how to respond. I don’t know how I would either. Johns dad said it was for prefecting his rapping skills. Why would his dad get him a rhyming book when he doesn’t even rap? Does his dad want john to become a rapper?

Chirrs remind me a lot of myself. I just think that it would like be the best thing ever if I left home and went and tried to survive in the wild. Chris reminds me of myself because he learns a lot of things by doing things. When he is out in the woods he doesn’t really know that much so he has to learn from his experiences. I learn like that to. If I don’t know something, I research that subject until I have the answer or know what imp doing. Chris also reminds me of myself because he really doesn’t care what people think about him. A lot of people would think that you are crazy if you want to live in the wild or do something like that but I have always thought that would be really fun.
In this book the author puts in the diary entries by Eustace while on the voyage. I think this is an important part of the story. This shows how upset he is to be there and he tells how he thinks of the people and the voyage. It really shows how much he complains in the story about what is going on. Something the author says is "this is going to be that last diary he writes for a long time". I think this may be foreshadowing something that is going to happen later on in the book.
If I was Eustace I wouldn’t have went wondering around the island without the rest of the group. He has never been here before and everyone told him this island could be dangerous. Eustace also doesn’t know how to fight or get his way out of a dangerous situation. When everyone finds out they all have to go and find him and they cant find them for a long time. Then they hear a dragon and then they try to hurry up to find him. They also see dead bodies in valleys by a lot of treasure. I think something may have happened to him.
If I was Lucy at this piont in the book, I would go on the date with this guy named Josh, who has been her crush for a long time. But Lucy is scared that with the secret of her messy home and her mother's death, she doesn't know what to do anymore. She is telling herself that it would be too risky to even go out with Josh, she is throwing all of her chances away. If I was Lucy I would tell someone about her "secrets" even if it was embarrasing because this is going to be hard to do this on her own if she doesn't.
One of the character's that I admire the most is Lucy's best friend Kaylie. Kaylie is always there for Lucy is she needs help or support. Plus Kaylie is not afriad to do anything. If there is something that she wants to do or that Lucy wants her to do for her, she will do it, no matter what the risk. I think that Lucy is lucky to have a friend like Kaylie because she is the only person so far that is a real friend and who she can trust.
The basement in Liesel's house is important for many reasons. Max, the man from Jewish decent, hides in the basement for the majority of the book. He imagines himself boxing in a ring with Adolf Hitler, so Max begins to train with push-ups. I feel like that scene is important because it shows Max's passion for boxing, and it shows a sick twist with him fighting Hitler. The basement is also important because it's where Liesel would practice new words that she didn't understand. I believe the basement holds as a safe place for many of the characters, no matter what they're problems happen to be.
Continuing my book, the group of people who had been killing the greedy corporate CEOs has now killed Jill, one of Lindsay's friends, unexpectedly. The problem is that Jill is a hrd worker putting away criminals, not a greedy CEO. I honestly saw it coming shortly after reading that she was missing, probably kidnapped. But it makes little sense, the only reason being to make a blow against the person leading the case, Lindsay. There must be another reason, since the criminal of the last book didn't strike one of Lindsay's friends. Either this person is very cold-hearted or they have a personal vendetta against Jill.
If I were Max at this point, I would probably have gone insane from being stuck in that basement. I'm not claustrophobic, but I don't enjoy being in an area for too long. I always have to be moving, and the fact that Max can't go anywhere irks me. I find it very sad when Max has to ask Liesel to go outside and ask him how the weather's like. I don't think about it much, but I would not like it if I didn't know what it looked like outside. Max is pretty much isolated from the rest of the world, and he didn't even do anything to deserve it.
The character I most admire so far is Norbert. I admire him because he has over come a lot of things. He has made it from being a nobody pitcher in the MLB to a starting pitcher in the World Series. I would be proud to be him. I think that he is amazing for making this happen. This is why the character I most admire is Norbert.
As I have finished my book, it is apparent that Jill's death could've been prevented. The whole reason behind all of these killings was revenge for Charles Danko's younger brother, who was killed in a police raid in the 1980's (supposedly 'innocent'). Each victim was connected to the raid incident, and Danko had used the 'war against greed and corruption' as a cover-up and a reason to get his cell of 4 people to carry out most of the actions for him. The group was so consumed with hate against the greedy and corrupt that they didn't stop to think whether or not Jill really fit in. Also a confusion was her 'involvement' in the scheme. The reason she had been killed was because her father had defended the police's actions of the raid in court, and won. Her father had already passed away, so I guess Danko wanted some sort of 'shallow revenge' against him. I don't really get how killing offspring for revenge would really be that satisfying, especially considering the fact that her father is already dead. Jill's death could've been prevented only if Danko took a real, good look at the results of his actions, or if the cell had done the same.
Miles reminds me of my brother. My bother name is Jake. He reminds me of Jake because he love football same with Miles. Both of them got the conference. Jake did get yelled at a little by the coaches. He got yelled at because he wasn't doing something right. Getting yelled was sometime wasn't his fault. The coach thought it was him but it was someone with a similar number.
I really don't understand the father in my book the Dream Bearer. I can't tell if he is a nice guy or if he is a bad father. He seems like more of a bad father but sometimes he is nice to the kids. At times I think he is a heavy alcoholic and then it doesn’t seem like he drinks. When he seems like a good father is when he sticks up for his son when the police come to his house because they say he has drugs.
I wish that the author would include more about Chris trying to survive in Alaska. Pretty much all that he is talking about is how he got to Alaska and how he traveled around. I think that the book would be more interesting if he would talk about how he got his food or what he was writing in his journal. I think that the book would be better if Chris was the one telling the story and not all the people that helped him on his way to Alaska. I still think that the book is good, but I think that it would be better if it was told from Chris’s point of view.
Justin: The guy in my book is kind of having the same problem with his dad.Except in my book the kid runs away to Alaska and never talks to his dad agian.
I wonder why Miles's dad explodes on him. Miles’s dad makes something small and makes it into something huge. What thing does Miles's dad makes into a huge problem? His dad will think that his son has a problem because of taking steroids. That would make everyone's father explode if their son is in a sport and signed the WIAA paper for taking steroids.
Brad: Maybe the kids that are in my book should run away if they are having such bad problems with their dad. It seemed like it might have solved some of the problems. But it they run away then they are going to be leaving their mom who really loves them. I don't think they will ever run away because they have their mom.
Now that I am this far into the book, I most admire Theresa. I admire Theresa the most because she has really gone into multiple situations where she doesn’t know much about what could happen. Unlike with Garrett, he is in his home town and has a feel for the different surroundings. If I was her I would be way more cautious with what she decides to do with Garrett. She has really only known him for like 2 days. I also have to give her credit for stepping out of the box and looking for someone new to possibly love.
I dislike Leo very much because o f what he did at the diner and poisoned Ted Burger. I think Leo is a very mean person because of what he did. Leo is a twenty year old twin that is very violent. He was not one of Ted’s biggest fans either. Him and his brother are home for spring break and were bored and looking for some action. So they decided to go to the diner and put poison in the fries. Rachel the girl that Ted likes thought that Mark and Nikki roped Ted into getting drunk with them after school because it was the first day of spring break. Leo the fry cook was the one who did it. He was in the kitchen and he threatened to kill them. Then Mark tackled Leo and they started feeling sick from eating the poisoned fries.
The character Zeke isn't really doing himself any good. I know he's trying to help Aaron, but the things he does seem dodgy. When he tries to convince Aaron to believe him, he doesn't make the right choices and only makes himself seem like the "bad" guy. For example, Zeke ended up getting Aaron's dog killed, but convinced Aaron that he could bring him back. Even though Aaron realizing what he really is amy be a success, the only thing I really remember all the time is how far Zeke went to prove something.
Personally I think the the Powers, who were apparently sent too get rid of the Nephilim, are taking things to seriously. I don't think their original task was to kill every Nephilim. It seems that after spending so many years away from home, the Powers forgot what they really were sent to do. All the violence doesn't seem right and their explaination for what they're doing seems very unclear. I believe they should seek the real reason to their task and what they are meant to do. They should stop assuming that they're right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
This character Billy Rifkin kind of reminds me of one of my friends. My friend and Billy are similar because when they were younger they were both mean kids. When Billy was younger he did not like Ted so Billy would play a lot of mean jokes on Ted. When Ted arrived at Billy’s apartment to punch him in the face Billy opened the door and was in a wheel chair. Ted didn’t punch Billy and Billy told him that he was sorry for everything that he has done to him. This is just like one of my friends. When I didn’t know her that well she was mean, but as she grew older she got a lot nicer to everyone and soon became one of my best friends.
When I selected this book I didn't think it was going to turn out as it has startted turning out. Now Henri has killed 5 people, by my count. This includes Rosa, a little 12 year old girl, Kim, Kims roomate Julia, and Kims Parents Barbra and Levon. Now that he has finished his "documentary" he has asked the reporter that was on Kims case to write a book of his life. I dont understand why he would ask him to write a book about his life and tell him about every murder he has ever done. Henri is also very smart because he still throught the entire book hasn't told any body his real name, myself as a reader, I dont know his real name. If I were Ben, the reporter who is now writing Henri's book, I would have gone to the cops by now. I would have gone when he first gave me the jump drive of the video with him killing Kim on it.
Now Henri has told Ben about almost every murder he has made. The count is up to 32, and ha makes three more murders so far while Ben is writing the book. One of these murders being Gina Prazzi, one of the woman paying him to make these videos. I feel like Henri is having ben write this book because he is confessing, but at the same time he is murdering everyone who knows about his previous murders. The character I most admire is Ben because he is trying to keep Henri happy through all of this in order to save his girlfriend Amanda's life. If i were Amanda I would have gone to the police though. I wouldn't be sitting and waiting around for Ben to write this book, and then to find out weather or not I am going to get killed or not. I, as a reader, think that Henri is going to try and kill Ben after he publishes the book.
The character I most admire in this book is Reepisheep. The biggest reason I admire him is because he is courageous and isn’t scared of anyone even though he is a little mouse. Another reason is that he teaches Eustace how to fight. He doesn’t give up teaching him even though Eustace doesn’t want to try. Reepisheep is also funny and makes fun of the other characters in the book which is another thing I like about him. He is also really brave when going to explore places that they haven’t been to before. Everyone thinks of him as kind of a leader in the crew.
Comment for Justin’s first blog. Does the dad drink every night? Is he an abusive drunk? What types of things does the father tell the kids to do? If the kids say no, what does the father do? Do you think that the mother will leave the father because of his alcohol abuse? If the mother doesn't leave, what do you think will happen to the family?
At this point in my story Jomo has started his summer and wants to prepare for his next football season. If I was Jomo, I would lift weights all summer and work on speed. If he really wants to play he needs to start working hard to get better. He really needs to work hard if he wants to start varsity. The coach said he has the potential to be a great player but he needs to get stronger and he has to want to play.
In my story Jomo has started training for next football season. He has been lifting weights for a month but is upset because he doesn't think he is gaining muscle. So he thinks that he needs to "Juice" or take steroids. I dont like this idea because he would be better off lifting the whole summer. He should not take steroids because he could get in trouble and not play football at all. He already has a chance to go to a D1 college to play and I wouldn't take the chance and then not being able to play.
Brad- Would you want to live in the wilderness like he did? Why did he run away from home? Why would he choose to go to Alaska? Do you think that you could survive in the wilderness like he does?
to mikaela- I also dislike on of the character's in my book. Like you said about Heather,August is just as mean. He abuses animals and has a very quick temper which he takes out on the people around him, and mostly his wife. Though their character traits are different, both Heather and August cause conflict in our stories.
to Vivien- I also agree with you about running away. If i was the character in your book Max i'd feel horrible being locked up. The best thing at that point is get waya and start a new life.
I extremely dislike Heather. This is because she was the new one in town, and Melinda was the only one who took her in and talked to her. All Heather wanted was to be part of a group.

ReplyDeleteIn this book the author puts in the diary entries by Eustace while on the voyage. I think this is an important part of the story. This shows how upset he is to be there and he tells how he thinks of the people and the voyage. It really shows how much he complains in the story about what is going on. Something the author says is "this is going to be that last diary he writes for a long time". I think this may be foreshadowing something that is going to happen later on in the book.

I admire Theresa the most because she has really gone into multiple situations where she doesn’t know much about what could happen. Unlike with Garrett, he is in his home town and has a feel for the different surroundings. If I was her I would be way more cautious with what she decides to do with Garrett. She has really only known him for like 2 days. I also have to give her credit for stepping out of the box and looking for someone new to possibly love.
ReplyDeleteI dislike Leo very much because o f what he did at the diner and poisoned Ted Burger. I think Leo is a very mean person because of what he did. Leo is a twenty year old twin that is very violent. He was not one of Ted’s biggest fans either. Him and his brother are home for spring break and were bored and looking for some action. So they decided to go to the diner and put poison in the fries. Rachel the girl that Ted likes thought that Mark and Nikki roped Ted into getting drunk with them after school because it was the first day of spring break. Leo the fry cook was the one who did it. He was in the kitchen and he threatened to kill them. Then Mark tackled Leo and they started feeling sick from eating the poisoned fries.
ReplyDeleteThe character Zeke isn't really doing himself any good. I know he's trying to help Aaron, but the things he does seem dodgy. When he tries to convince Aaron to believe him, he doesn't make the right choices and only makes himself seem like the "bad" guy. For example, Zeke ended up getting Aaron's dog killed, but convinced Aaron that he could bring him back. Even though Aaron realizing what he really is amy be a success, the only thing I really remember all the time is how far Zeke went to prove something.

ReplyDeletePersonally I think the the Powers, who were apparently sent too get rid of the Nephilim, are taking things to seriously. I don't think their original task was to kill every Nephilim. It seems that after spending so many years away from home, the Powers forgot what they really were sent to do. All the violence doesn't seem right and their explaination for what they're doing seems very unclear. I believe they should seek the real reason to their task and what they are meant to do. They should stop assuming that they're right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis character Billy Rifkin kind of reminds me of one of my friends. My friend and Billy are similar because when they were younger they were both mean kids. When Billy was younger he did not like Ted so Billy would play a lot of mean jokes on Ted. When Ted arrived at Billy’s apartment to punch him in the face Billy opened the door and was in a wheel chair. Ted didn’t punch Billy and Billy told him that he was sorry for everything that he has done to him. This is just like one of my friends. When I didn’t know her that well she was mean, but as she grew older she got a lot nicer to everyone and soon became one of my best friends.
ReplyDeleteWhen I selected this book I didn't think it was going to turn out as it has startted turning out. Now Henri has killed 5 people, by my count. This includes Rosa, a little 12 year old girl, Kim, Kims roomate Julia, and Kims Parents Barbra and Levon. Now that he has finished his "documentary" he has asked the reporter that was on Kims case to write a book of his life. I dont understand why he would ask him to write a book about his life and tell him about every murder he has ever done. Henri is also very smart because he still throught the entire book hasn't told any body his real name, myself as a reader, I dont know his real name. If I were Ben, the reporter who is now writing Henri's book, I would have gone to the cops by now. I would have gone when he first gave me the jump drive of the video with him killing Kim on it.
ReplyDeleteNow Henri has told Ben about almost every murder he has made. The count is up to 32, and ha makes three more murders so far while Ben is writing the book. One of these murders being Gina Prazzi, one of the woman paying him to make these videos. I feel like Henri is having ben write this book because he is confessing, but at the same time he is murdering everyone who knows about his previous murders. The character I most admire is Ben because he is trying to keep Henri happy through all of this in order to save his girlfriend Amanda's life. If i were Amanda I would have gone to the police though. I wouldn't be sitting and waiting around for Ben to write this book, and then to find out weather or not I am going to get killed or not. I, as a reader, think that Henri is going to try and kill Ben after he publishes the book.
ReplyDeleteThe character I most admire in this book is Reepisheep. The biggest reason I admire him is because he is courageous and isn’t scared of anyone even though he is a little mouse. Another reason is that he teaches Eustace how to fight. He doesn’t give up teaching him even though Eustace doesn’t want to try. Reepisheep is also funny and makes fun of the other characters in the book which is another thing I like about him. He is also really brave when going to explore places that they haven’t been to before. Everyone thinks of him as kind of a leader in the crew.
ReplyDeleteComment for Justin’s first blog. Does the dad drink every night? Is he an abusive drunk? What types of things does the father tell the kids to do? If the kids say no, what does the father do? Do you think that the mother will leave the father because of his alcohol abuse? If the mother doesn't leave, what do you think will happen to the family?

ReplyDeleteAt this point in my story Jomo has started his summer and wants to prepare for his next football season. If I was Jomo, I would lift weights all summer and work on speed. If he really wants to play he needs to start working hard to get better. He really needs to work hard if he wants to start varsity. The coach said he has the potential to be a great player but he needs to get stronger and he has to want to play.
ReplyDeleteIn my story Jomo has started training for next football season. He has been lifting weights for a month but is upset because he doesn't think he is gaining muscle. So he thinks that he needs to "Juice" or take steroids. I dont like this idea because he would be better off lifting the whole summer. He should not take steroids because he could get in trouble and not play football at all. He already has a chance to go to a D1 college to play and I wouldn't take the chance and then not being able to play.
ReplyDeleteBrad- Would you want to live in the wilderness like he did? Why did he run away from home? Why would he choose to go to Alaska? Do you think that you could survive in the wilderness like he does?

ReplyDeleteto mikaela- I also dislike on of the character's in my book. Like you said about Heather,August is just as mean. He abuses animals and has a very quick temper which he takes out on the people around him, and mostly his wife. Though their character traits are different, both Heather and August cause conflict in our stories.
ReplyDeleteto Vivien- I also agree with you about running away. If i was the character in your book Max i'd feel horrible being locked up. The best thing at that point is get waya and start a new life.
