Text to Self--Stranded

      I am reading Stranded by Jeff Probst is a fiction novel novel about several kids stranded stranded on an island. This is the sixth book from the series Stranded. So far in Stranded, Chizo and Carter were in the forest while Carter was in a bamboo woven net. Once Carter fell, he started to charge Chizo. Carter backed off the fight though. Meanwhile back at camp, Jane was refusing to go to the campfire without Carter. Once they saw Ani and realized that he was going inwards towards the island instead of onto the island beach, they had no choice but to follow her into the island. After they got into the island, Laki the leader of the Nukula tribe had some of his "guards" go receive Carter. When Chizo was being taken away, he showed carter the way towards Jane, Vanessa, and Buzz. When Carter made the decision to go after them, he was going to jump into the river but hesitated. Once he heard people shouting after them he became brave enough to jump in, he got caught on a fallen tree. 

       This character reminds me of me because I am very adventurous and like to accept challenges.
Jane also makes me think of how I would never leave my family. I would act similar to Carter in the rapid situation because again I would want to find my family at all cost's. If I was Carter when he "attacked" Chizo, I would have done the same thing. I would start to attack him to let my anger out, but then I would stop because I know it is the right thing to do.

       I noticed that when Carter heard other people coming, he became brave enough to jump into the rapids. I wish I knew some of the words they were saying like "Ekka Ko". The part where Jane doesn't want to leave Carter is very realistic because nobody would want to leave their family behind. I don't know why Carter jumped into the river without knowing who was behind him.

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...
