Text to Self- Among the Betrayed

I am reading Among the Betrayed by Margret Peterson Haddix, it is about a society where parents can not have more then two kids. If they do have a third or more kids(also called Shadow kids) and get cough by the Population Police (the police putting the law into work) the child will be killed. The books main character Nina is a third child and was cough by the Population Police. They are using/ torturing her to find stuff out on were more Shadow children are. The guy she liked and kissed, Jason, told the Population Police about her and betrayed her, he was killed by the population Police. The Population Police partnered up with Nina to try to get these three other kids to say they are shadow kids when they are not, the police use her by giving Nina god food and not being so rude and mean to her. One of the guards named Mack was poisoned when Nina was being integrated, he dropped his keys and Nina garbed them and took them, she was trying to get out of her sell and dropped the keys and made a noise and lucky nobody heard it.

The older kid of the three Nina is trying to get to talk, Matthias, reminds me of my parents. This is because Matthias always protects his little sister, Alia, just like a parent. Matthias let Alia have a whole piece of bread and he got a piece and a half. And I could see my parents do the same thing for me and my sister. He also make sure Alia is safe. When they sleep they sleep in a huddle to conserve heat and Alia gets the middle were the heat is to keep her warm in cold weather.

I wish that my author would tell me a little bit more about Jason. I wish that because I want to know if he is a third child and why he would betray Nina. Like how they gave a background for Nina I could understand her more but I'm still a little bit confused about him. I would want to know how he got to the Hendricks School for Boys. It would really just help me in the future of the book they will tell me a little but more about Jason.

    It sounds like an interesting book. I might actually read your book next after I finish 11 Birthdays. I would have fixed a little bit of the conventions and fixed a little bit of the spelling but overall it is a really good blog

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...
