The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers----Text to world--------

The book I am reading is the The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 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 two hobbits Merry and Pippin escaped in the night and there only way to safety is through the worst forest ever the Fangorn Forest. In their they meant an Ent. An Ent is a walking old tree who are the wisest creature ever in Middle-Earth.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 who is 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 known as Gollum. The other men of the fellowship is a elf, a dwarf, and a ranger but they now are all by themselves tracking down Pippin and Merry. 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. But they have almost no clue on how to get there so they seek the help of an unlikely ally. On the way to Mordor Gollum tricked Frodo and Samwise into a cave because he made them think that that way is the safest and the fastest way to Mordor. Over in Rohan a member of the fellowship that was resumed dead is somehow been seen again. That man is now helping the other part of the fellowship.
My text to world connection is that Gollum betrayed Frodo and Samwise and eventually fought them just like how the South betrayed the North and which caused the Civil War. Gollum betrays Frodo and Sam by tricking them into a deadly cave filled with a Giant spider known as Shelob who is very hungry for meat. And the South betrays the North by leaving the Union and fights back just like Gollum who eventually fights back.
I was surprised that Samwise Gamgee believed that Gollum was telling the truth. I would have not believed him. Gollum is a corrupted, lying, tricky little creature who looks very, very sketchy.

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...
