text to text~A Dog's Purpose

I am reading the book A Dog's Purpose  by W. Bruce Cameron. This book is about (So far) a dog who lives multiple lives and what im reading now is he starts off his life as a small puppy named Toby who is a stray and gets caught and brought to a 'shelter' then to the vet to get a check up. This reminds me of a similar scene in the book Paint The Wind   by Pam Munoz Ryan when Artemisia has to earn the humans trust again which reminds me of Toby learning how to trust humans in general. This character Toby is like a character in Paint the Wind by Pam Munoz Ryan. The character's name is Golly and she is so spunky, cute and hyper like Toby is in the book, its kinda funny to imagine Toby playing. I began to think why does he want to know his purpose and why he doesn't know it/understand it that well. I felt sad when his mother ran away from the 'shelter', but it's a part of life. She had to leave some day. If I were Toby at this point I would try and find my purpose and enjoy life with the good humans as much as I can. This part was really realistic because he describes how the dogs act in a pack and how they act around each other and to each other. This story teaches that everyone and thing has a purpose in life, I guess its off the saying "Put your hand over your heart, do you feel it? its called purpose. You are here for a reason." by Unknown. I felt even more sad when his first life ended,but now he has a new life and just escaped from a breeding facility from context clues I noticed and read.So far I really love this book, it seems to be better than the movie, but most books are.

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...
