Text to Text: Cinder



     I am reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Cinder is about a cyborg, named Cinder. She lives in an old garage, that is also her work space. She is a mechanic and ends up fixing Prince Kai's android. While fixing the android she finds a lunar chip that was installed by someone from the moon where lunars live. She finds out that if Prince Kai marries Levana  then she will wage war over Commonwealth and kill Kai. The prince has a hard choice to make at the end of the book. Will he save Cinder but risk starting a war with Luna or give Cinder to Luna and not start a war. At the very end of the book Dr. Erland  shows up at Cinder's cell to give her a new cyborg foot, and hand(her foot fell off at the ball).

     This situation reminds me of a  similar situation I was in my own life. It happened when I first moved to Missouri when I was about 4. Actually when I moved to a city called Eureka, in Missouri when I was 6. I met a girl name Aurora and we are best friends now but she was about to do something I knew she would regret. It wasn't bad or anything but I knew she wouldn't be happy so I talked to her and she was mad at me for a while but then she realized that I was right and she wasn't happy and she forgave me. This is just like the situation my main character Cinder was in when she was trying to warn Kai about Luna wanting to marry him. He didn't listen to her and he might even die because of it. Another connection between a character and some body that I use to know. He is actually just like prince Kai because they are both  persuading and thoughtful, and they both would never try to hurt anyone.

     I began to think when I was nearing the end of the book, what if Peony never caught the plague and if Cinder was never cyborg and if Cinder never met Kai, would her life be better or just miserable. I think it would be more miserable because she still would live with her legal guardian Adri and Kai is the only good thing in Cinder's life, except for Peony. Peony is Cinder's only human friend, at least she was unti she caught the plague. I think Kai and Peony are the best things in Cinder's life and if Kai left she would only have Peony. The book wouldn't be good without Kai and Cinder meeting, falling in love and when they danced together at the ball, it felt like I could have been there watching. Marissa Meyer actually makes the book feel alive like you could be there with them in that exact moment.

Text To World -- The Fault in Our Stars

    I am reading  The Fault in Our Stars  by John Green. This book is about two teenagers with cancer that happen to fall in love and go places together to live life to their fullest ability, while still accepting the fact that they are dying, in the end something is lost. What do you think this is? They meet at a support group in "the real heart of Jesus" Hazel and Augustus both read and they love this book called An Imperial Infliction.  They go to  Amsterdam together and meet the author of their book and he turns out to be very rude.  When they get back something is lost and is very sad. Hazel and Issac are looking for something left behind and go on a tiny adventure.       This book connects to the world in a lot of ways but the one that stood out the most to me, is that the world and the book share one very big problem, disease and cancer. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters both have cancer and Issac and other people have illness and h...

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...

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...
