The Lord of the Rings------The Two Towers------

The book I am reading is the second part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is called The Two Towers. It is written by J.R.R Tolkien. There was a fellowship in the first book but two people have now died and two other hobbits were captured by a tribe of orcs who are on there way to Isengard. The fellowship was suppose to stay together to destroy the ring but Frodo didn't want anyone else to get hurt or die. So Frodo sets off by himself but Samwise Gamgee his best friend so he convinced Frodo to let him go with him. So the 2 hobbits are now off to destroy the ring but will be encountered by a mysterious creature. The other men of the fellowship are a elf, a dwarf, and a ranger but they now are all by themselves tracking down Pippin and Merry who were captured by Uruk-hai. But during the hunt they get friendly captured by the people of Rohan and the king is being controlled by a evil man named Wormtongue. Frodo and Sam have a huge dilemma. They have a mysterious creature following them, 9 Black Riders, Nazguls, multiple tribes of orcs, a new tribe called the Uruk-hai which are very deadly, and an evil wizard that obeys Sauron's every command all hunting them.So it is not easy destroying a ring. In order for Frodo and Samwise to destroy the ring they have to get to Mordor. But they have almost no clue on how to get there so they seek the help of an unlikely ally. Over in Rohan a member of the fellowship that was resumed dead is somehow been seen again.
The scene were Samwise decided to stay with Frodo because he is his friend reminds me of a scene in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Were Captain America is fighting his brainwashed best friend to the death. But Captain America had the upper hand and did not kill him because they were best friends. Both Samwise, Frodo and Captain America and The Winter Soldier are both best friends so they did not want to harm one another they wanted to be with them.
I was surprised when Frodo and Samwise both decided to follow the mysterious creature to get to Mt. Doom where they will destroy the ring once and for all. It sounds like they are pretty desperate.

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...
