three times luck blog #2 :)

Thomas Morin
chapter 1 characters
the characters that i have met so far is Mo,Dale,miss.Rose,Jesse,miss.Lana are so far the only the characters.
the first chapter,
the first chapter was just a intro to the characters.
chapter 2 for-site,
i think that this chapter the mistery began so at the first page of the book it said that Mr,Jesse  is dead but in the first chapter he seemed alive so he must die in chapter 2 or 3
the main character is ....
mo and i think mo is a girl because he/she blushes a lot when a  a male talks to he/she except Dale she/he didn't blush with him or she/he did but i forgot and if i seem stupid for not knowing the main character gender someone may be think it say it in the first chapter but i don't remember if it did sorry for going doing a inter paragraph over the main characters gender.

The Selection Text to Text Blog 2

The Selection by Kiera Cass is a book about a girl named America Singer. She goes through a lot of emotions in the book and also goes through a lot of hard times. America gets persuaded to enter her name into a drawing. The drawing randomly picks thirty-five girls that get to live at the palace until the prince selects one of them to be his wife. America gets chosen and has ups and downs throughout her whole visit at the palace.

I can relate this book to a different book I read called Red Queen. The main characters are both forced to go to a place that is completely unfamiliar to them. They have such a hard time adjusting and get very homesick. America and the main character of Red Queen, Mare, always feel like they don't fit in. They face many problems and bumps along the way, but end up having a great experience.

In this book, I loved it when America shows emotions and feelings because it makes it seem like you are really there when you read the book. Whenever America felt sad or depressed, it started to make me feel sad. If something really amazing happened to America, I would feel very happy and excited. At certain points of the book, I felt like I could predict what would happen next. When I kept reading, the plot turned out to be completely different from what I expected. That is one of the reasons why I love this book series. It is so unpredictable and exciting, and I never know what's going to happen next.

Things that go bump In the night text to text

   The scene remind me of the movie goosebumps because it talked about what the monsters do and how they existed it is similar to things that go bump in the night because they both have monsters and they each have the same character that try to stop the monsters and they ended up stopping them and they are both in the some situation.
      The character is like my 10 year old cousin in things that go bump in the night because he believes in clown wondering in the woods and he thinks that they are coming for him and it was actually fake all he wanted was attention and now when something bad actually happen they wont believe him because they think that he is lying.
      This situation reminds me of a similar situation in my own life.It happened when my brother dressed up as a clown and i got scared and i ran and later then i found out it was my brother and i got mad because i was scared by him and in the book "Thing That Go Bump In The Night" they get chased by a beast .
  

the boy at the top of the mountain

   My book is from the same author as the #1 new York times bestseller the boy in the striped pajama. my book is The boy at he top of the mountain by john boyne. The book is about a boy named Pierrot becomes an Orient and he need to leave home for a better way for a better life with his aunt Beatrix. Pierrot lives in pairs and he needs to leave and him and his aunt left. They don't know what is coming up fr them. world war two is coming. when he left he did not know what danger was coming for him.
       This book reminds me of wonder because at the end in pairs a girl had to run away from hear home. and my persinl connection to this book is when we learned about the holocaust.  When i wand to stay home and mu mom left and he was gone for a long time and i did not know what i was doing and my mom was out for like 4 hours. This is like when Pierrot was in the train and he was doing something knew and did not know about anything that was going on.

Scat

      The book I am reading is called scat. "Scat" is a book written by Carl Hiaasen, Scat is about two friends in the state of Florida named Marta and Nick in Mrs. Starch biology class. Everyone is afraid of Mrs. Starch... except for one person: Duane (smoke) Scrod Jr. When Mrs. Starch catches Smoke picking at a pimple instead of reading about the Calvin Cycle she humiliates him by telling him to write a 500 worded essay about pimples. So Smoke gets really angry and bites and swallows the pencil she was waving at him then storms out of the Class. Then Mrs. Starch moves on and tells the children about the field trip they are taking the next day to the "Black Vine Swamp". Then, the next day everyone in all three biology classes board the bus to go to the "Black Vine Swamp", except for Smoke. Nick is very excited about going because he wants to see a black Panther and catch it on video. They are only at the Black Vine Swamp for a short amount of time because a small wildfire starts while they are having lunch. Then when they are all at the bus Mrs. Starch says she has to go back to get Libby Marshall's Asthma Inhaler: but Mrs. Starch never came back and she became a missing person but then strangely she sends a letter to the Headmaster saying she was going on Vacation for a family emergency but Dr. Dressler (the headmaster) doesn't buy it but decides to let it go because Mrs. Starch would eventually come back. Meanwhile, in Mrs. Starch biology class Nick and Marta are anxious for Mrs. Starch to come back so that Mr. Wendell Waxmo a mean wacky teacher can leave and on Mr. Waxmo's second day Smoke comes into the classroom as a very different person. So Nick and Marta decide to find out what is really going on but when they go in too deep they go into a whirl of trouble.

            Nick and Marta remind me of myself because when they think something is wrong they go and investigate and find out what is wrong and they fix it. Whenever I try to solve a problem I ask a series of  questions and then I turn those into theories. Nick and Marta take the answers from the questions and develop that into a theory. They also don't give up and they keep on asking questions. I don't give up until I get answers so I just keep annoying them until I get my answers.

           In Conclusion, Scat by Carl Hiaasen is about two students Nick and Marta who go and investigate when their biology teacher Mrs. Starch goes missing and Duane Scrod Jr. (Smoke) is involved somehow. Nick and Marta remind me of myself because they don't give up when they are curious and I don't either. They also solve their mysteries by annoying people until they get their answers. Finally, Nick and Marta remind me of myself because the always solve their mysteries in the end.

The Scorch Trials

     I'm reading The Scorch Trials, the second book of a five book series, by James Dashner. This book is outstanding so far. It starts right away with action which will always catch any reader's attention. This book starts with Teresa and Thomas talking to each other telepathically to keep each other company during the night, trying to help take away each other's fears and night terrors from the horrible experiences they had in the maze only the day before. This was right after they had been "saved' by a facility that was against W.I.C.K.E.D- the people that put the Gladers into the maze-. They sat there in silence getting their memories back until Teresa suddenly vanishes after saying that something was wrong. Once Teresa vanished, Thomas woke up to Gladers running around and seeing bloody, zombie-like people called Cranks screaming at their windows saying, "Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!". The boys escaped the room they were locked in and behind the door was darkness filled with the stench of death. They turn the lights on only to see that the people who saved them that night were dead, hanged to what appeared to be a few hours ago. This is when sudden panic overcame him, he didn't know where Teresa was and she wasn't answering his telepathic messages.
When they found another room in the building they discovered another boy named Aris. He had the telepathic gift too. After this meeting that they had, they went back out of the room to discover all sorts of weird things, the bodies were gone, the windows were bricked up and all sorts of other things. Thomas tries once more to contact Teresa and it becomes apparent that her memory has been wiped again and she doesn't remember Thomas.

     I have never been in a situation where I'm stranded in a little building not knowing who I am or where I have come from, but, I can still relate to some of the feelings that the main characters are going through. First off, I can definitely relate the friendship that Thomas and Teresa have together because I have that with my friend. We have been l super close ever since we met. I can't even imagine one day they just forgot who I was because that would mean a huge part of my life would be striped from me leaving me devastated.

     I love how James Dashner continues to leave me wanting to read more because of all of the mystery around the writing of the future technology, diseases and organizations. I want to know how all of the weird things keep happening and what caused the cranks to go insane. I also love the way the author, James Dashner, was able to continue the first book the maze runner in such a smooth and seamless line. I can't wait until I finish this book to see if the next book is connected to the one before it as well.

   

Insurgent

     I am reading Insurgent.  The author is Veronica Roth she has a series that is linked to this book it is called the divergent series that has four books including this one so far. This series has several genres such as science fiction, Utopian and dystopian fiction, romance novel, and young adult fiction. This book has won quite a few awards such as the  Goodreads Choice Awards Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction, awards and much more. This book is carried after the book divergent to understand this book u should read the book divergent, divergent is about a family, tris's family, all of the people who live in Chicago have to go to a choosing ceremony which is where they choose their future. At this ceremony you individually go up to the stage to choose your personality such as candor- the honest, abnegation- is the selfless, dauntless- the brave, erudite- the intelligent, amity- the peaceful. When Tris goes up to the stage and slits her hand and drops her blood  into the dauntless bowl she had no clue what she was getting herself into, once the ceremony was over she was officially a dauntless member. She then had to go through a number of circuits to try and stay alive. 
     This character reminds me of someone I know because they always like to take risks in their life even though it may  get them hurt. They also try to keep their emotion a secret while they are around people they aren't comfortable around or who they don't know and so does Tris. This character reminds me of myself because she is a risk taker and so I am sometimes. This situation reminds me of some point in my life because when I was in Punta Cana I went sky diving into the ocean and I am afraid of heights but it was so much fun and i'm glad i decided to do it.
     I began to think that this book has many relations to my life. If I were Tris, I would have already went for going past the wall at this point. I noticed that when they make bad things happen and when they fix the bad things they get rewarded to be the hero. I was surprised that Tris didn't get shot when there was shots being taken when they were running. The character I most admire is Tris because she isn't afraid to stand up for her beliefs and she is fearless. I really like this book because I can relate to the things that happen in it.
