Text to World: Unwind

     I am reading the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This is book 1 of 6. The book Unwind is about these kids who have been chosen by their parents to be unwound but that's the last thing they want. They do crazy things to try and get out of it.Is it to late? Will they survive?
      In the book "Unwind" they are trying to escape their fate. They have to hide from everyone because if they are caught it is the end for them. This same kind of thing happens in real life. For instance the fugitive slave act is related to this because if they are caught it means it's the end for them. They would hid places where they wouldn't be found and they would go undercover and go under disguise. Both of these times they were under someones power like the slaves have owners and the people in Unwound have the police. "The Fugitive Slave Act forced people to return escaped slaves to their masters" (Newsela Fugitive Slave Act per. 1). This is the same thing in Unwound because when they are caught they have to go to the unwinding place. 
     This is a amazing story it is very fun to read and it takes you on adventures that make you want to not stop reading because you want to know what happens next. I began to wonder that if they didn't have to take the baby if it would have the same ending or if it would've ended like that anyways. I can't believe that it ended that way. I wish that there was more to the book. I was surprised that they all started to become friendlier throughout the book and start to realized all the their mistakes. I think that you should read this book and I highly recommend it.

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...
