Happy Halloween!

     In my book Torment by Lauren Kate Luce has finally gotten the courage to stand up to the shadows that have been tormenting her since she was young. She learns that they are called Announcers  and that if you stand up to them the obey you. Once you shows them no fear they can transport you to different places and show you things from your past. With this new discovery she learns that she can finally see what really happened to her back then. But she notices one thing that by Daniel  putting her in the school she  can cause the others great harm. But at least she can find out about her past and why this time she hasn't died yet.
     In my opinion the genre of this books is fantasy. What I like about the book is that you don't really know what is going to happen next and it's suspenseful.  What I don't like about this book is that their is a lot of mystery and conflicts which never get resolved in one chapter only. What I really like about this book is that their love still remains strong no matter what is really happening around them. In conclusion people should really read it if they wanted to read a story with mystery and love.

Torment

The book I am reading is called Torment by Lauren Kate. Daniel hides Luce in a school far away from Sword & Cross.  He tries to protect her by not getting her involved. But leaves her unprotected of herself. While Daniel is off fighting demons Luce is discovering things about her past that are really mysterious. They meet from time to time but they are mostly apart. Luce makes new friends and her family doesn't know what is really happening to her. She keeps everything a secret and tries to discover things on her own.  In my opinion this book is a very mysterious which is why so many people are attracted to it.  I would recommend this book for the people who love fiction because it will get you trapped inside and leave you wanting more.

One conflict in my story is that Luce is facing and internal conflict. She is conflicted on her life how she once thought her life was ordinary. Now she has a boyfriend who is an angel and off fighting demons and dark angels that she thought didn't exist. She is also facing the problem with her parents. They don't know she changed schools or what is happening to her. She never liked lying but know she is faced with the occasion. The theme is "don't always believe what the others tell you". This is the theme because she hears one thing from Daniel, and discovers a whole different thing on her own. She discovers one piece of her past that is different than what Daniel told her had happened.

Call Of Duty

 In the article "Call Of Duty" I thought that Jose was right about wanting to keep his dog. This dog had been with him from the start they went through bad and good things together. Why take that awesome pair apart. Now that he was injured he should have been able to keep the dog through his recovery. He shouldn't have to fight for the dog because after all he was the one risking his life for the people around him. The biggest favor the congress could have done was give him his dog for comfort. I think that any soldier who works with a dog in a dangerous place or situation should be able to keep it as a get well gift.

The Fault In Our Stars

I am reading the book, “The fault in our stars” and so far I have learned that it doesn't matter how sick you are of life their is always one person who can cheer you up with one smile. Hazel Graze is a girl who can't berate well. She has to carry a tank everywhere. She meets Augustus Waters who shows her how to love and like the world around her. He shows her hope in a limited amount of days. They have their ups and downs put they show each other and others how if you have hope in one another you can live well. Even though they are sick they try to act as normal as possible.  They finally  realize that this is their one and last love.

The point of view is First Person. I know this because the story is mainly about Hazel. It describes the story on what she feels or thinks. "A few days later, at Gus's house, his parents and my parents and Gus and me all squeezed around around the dining table, eating stuffed peppers on a tablecloth that had, according to Gus's dad, last seen in the previous century." I do enjoy reading a first person Point of view because it describes and shows what the main character is feeling and thinking. It makes you understand the story according to what the main character thinks. You can picture and feel what he or she is feeling. I would like to read in another point of view too see the difference it would make in a story.

Fallen Summary

In my book Fallen by Lauren Kate there is a lot of mystery and romance. In this story Luce is goes to a school where they send all the kids who have done bad things. Ever since she was young Luce has always seen these dark shadows following her everywhere. Her parents though that she was going crazy as soon as they sent her to see a sociologist, she decided to tell her parents she wasn't seeing them no more. Every time the shadows appeared something bad would happen to her or the people around her. The first day she shows up at the school Luce feels a weird attraction towards Daniel. She gets these weird dreams about him and her as if they were memories. As the story unfolds she learns that she reincarnates every 18 years and falls in love with the same person again and again.


In my story the main character is Luce. She is a shy type of girl who always tries to help the people  around her. She never wants to hurt peoples feeling and likes to always say the truth. She also likes to speak her feeling and thoughts. When she is curious she won't stop until she finds out what she wanted know. Luce changed throughout the book because she stopped trusting people easily and stopped speaking her mind to those who seemed somewhat suspicious to her.

"Treasure of Lemon Brown"

The "Treasure of Lemon Brown" was an inspiring story, about a young boy named Greg who meets a homeless guys whose most valued treasure is a harmonica and newspaper. Lemon Brown used to be famous for his music. When his son died his music died with it too. Greg's dad would give him lectures and wouldn't let him join the basketball team. After hearing Lemon Brown's story he felt foolish for getting annoyed with his father's lectures, and saw his dad in a whole different way.
