The Giver
http://www.loislowry.com/index.php?option=com_djcatalog2&view=item&id=17:the-giver&cid=4:the-quartet&Itemid=185

     This week I read The Giver by Lois Lowry. I read about how, the main character, Jonas was getting nervous about the upcoming Ceremony of the Twelves, where he would be given his assignment/job. Before the ceremony, strange things happened to Jonas. He saw objects change in ways he could not understand or make sense of, that only he could see. Jonas also started having Stirrings. Stirrings were feelings of love and wanting, and he had to take pills. Jonas realized he loved a girl named Fiona, and he wanted to see her often.

     This character reminds me of my brother. When something big is coming up, he always gets nervous, really nervous. This is also like myself, I too get nervous, but not as much as my brother. Like on Wednesday when I first started at this school, I was nervous because I had never been here before.

     Some thoughts I had while reading my book were, this is really gross. Jonas was dreaming of not the most pleasant things. I didn't really understand why, he felt this way. Maybe because he couldn't feel love, that when the feeling came, it was like really extra. If I were Jonas right then, I would've been concerned for myself, because he was only 11.

Text to Text- The Maze Runner

          I am reading  The Maze Runner by James Dashner.  This story is about a boy named Thomas who was brainwashed and taken to a place called the Glades. Thomas was very curious on running in the maze inside the Glades. When he had the chance, Thomas went into the maze and became a runner. Thomas is starting to put together clues and messages he has found to why he went to the glades in the first place. He is now trying to decode a message that has been created, so he can stop the danger. Thomas and the other runners need to defeat the grievers, and what is happening to their world.           The scene where the ferocious creatures (grievers) come and are trying to break their way into the map room, reminds me of the book The Hunger Games . That specific scene reminds me of  The Hunger Games  because when the other creatures (mutts) come out from the forest, the characters were prepared as well, but struggled to...

Text to Text- The Girl Who Drank the Moon

         If you recall, I was reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. Much has happened in the story since I last posted. The witch (Xan) calls the baby Luna and over the years Luna grows very powerful, but she doesn't know what she's doing. At about the age of five Xan has to put a spell on Luna to capture her magic and when Luna turns 13 her magic will come out. Unfortunately that means Xan will die. When it's close to Luna's birthday Xan leaves because she has to get the baby from the circle to take to the free cities. Luna goes out to look for her grandmother and ends up having an interesting adventure.          This book reminds me of the book Sleeping Beauty because both main characters has a spell cast on them. Luna's spell causes her to loose her magic until she turns 13 and Sleeping Beauty's spell cause her to sleep for a long time. There are also many other connections, such as, both stories have evil witches ...

Text to Self- The Maze Runner

           I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This book's genre is post-apocalyptic. This book is about a teen named Thomas who came to this mysterious place called the Glades. He does not know where and why he is there. Thomas does not also know anything about his life anymore; he is completely clueless. Now that Thomas has been at the Glades for a while, he now knows there is a large maze with bad things inside. Thomas is not allowed to go inside the maze. However, Thomas said he wants to participate in being a runner.            The character Thomas reminds me of one of my friends because she is very outgoing. Therefore, Thomas is outgoing because he wants to be a runner in the maze.  Thomas also reminds me of myself because I am always very cautious of my actions in various situations. For example, when Thomas was very alert about some sort of "abyss", he did not take the risk of getting any closer. Inste...
