Text to Text Heat and Papi

     Have you ever read the book Heat or the book Papi. Heat is written by Mike Lupica and Papi is written by David Ortiz. Heat is about a kid who has a very good throwing arm but his dad dies and he needs his birth cirtificate to play. Papi is about David Ortiz life and what he went throuh to get to the majors.

     The book Heat shows all the kids playing baseball and training to be the best and in the book Papi it shows him doing what he does and how he gets to the majors. In Heat Micheal doesnt have his birth cirtificate and he trys so hard to get it and finally gets his birth cirtificate. Which in Papi it shows David Ortiz trying his hardest to get to the majors and he finally made it. This Charachter Micheal is like Papi because in both books they accomplish what they want.

     I think that these books are almost the exact same becuase they both connect on baseball and have to try as hard as they can. I felt sad when reading Heat I found out that Micheals dad died becuase if I ever lost my dad I don´t know what I would do. I really like how in Papi it showed lots of detail of what David went throught to get to the majors. I admire Micheal because I love to play baseball and he is amazing at baseball and tryś really hard to be so good.

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...
