Text To Self The Silmarillion

I am reading The Silmarillion. What I have read so far is about the first age of Middle-Earth. The book takes place before The Hobbit and before The Lord of the Rings. It is about the very beginning of Middle-Earth about the Elves, Dwarfs,orcs, men, and the Valor. The Valor created 3 powerful jewels, where if you touch them even for a little bit your hand would be burned. But the Men, Melkor and the orcs figured out a way to get a hold of  it without out getting burned. Where I am at is when Sauron has gathered armies to take possession of the jewels.     

  The part that reminds me of me is when Yavanna ( The Valor of nature and fruit ) weeps when she goes through a burned down forest at the end of a large war. I relate to that part because not that I weep but I feel sad when a forest is burned down by a wildfire. I enjoy nature and love to eat fruit. I could spend a long time in a forest just by seeing how beautiful it is. I really like fruit because it is very juicy and are healthy for you too.   

 If I was Sauron and about to send armies to claim the Silmarils I would be the one to claim the Silmarils in front of them, because even though you cant touch it without your hand burning. I would just get a glove or a mat to put them on. It is not that difficult. I also love the way the elves stand strong and stand firm for what they believe.

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...
