Text to self HEAT

     I am reading Heat by Mike Lupica that is the number 1 New York Times Best Seller!This story is about a kid named Michael Arroyo who has a pitching arm that throws heat.Michael was on a baseball field by himself and Mrs.Cora a teacher came running with a police officer yelling stop.Michael threw a baseball from the field and hit the robber in the back of the head.A guy named Papi saw and thought he was an amazing kid and had a dream he told him that he is gonna make it to the big leagues.


      This book reminds me of the movie called million dolar arm because both this book and movie have a charachter who throws really hard and is a pitcher.Michael Arroyo reminds me of a kid on my baseball team named Connor who throws really hard for his age.The problem in this book is Michaels dad died and he doesnt tell anyone that his father is dead besides his best friend Manny and everyone thinks his father is alive.I saw a movie on tv where a kid lost his father and grew up by his self.I think that Michael doesnt tell anyone because he is afraid to and his coaches might be nervous having him on the team with out a dad or a mom.

     I began to think about other movies when reading because this book reminds me about a lot of baseball movies that I have watched with my team and my brother.I dont get why they talk about him hitting a person with a ball because thats not the whole main idea of this story.I recommend this book to anyone and especially if you play baseball you will love this book.

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...
