Inkheart

     In the book Inkheart the second main character Mo father of Meggie can be considered a protective and  mysterious kind of  person.  Mo has always told everything to Meggie,  never once has he hid something from her, but he did hide a huge secret that she suspected from the start. Ever since Mo packed up their stuff and moved with her aunt, she knew he was hiding something. Especially the day she asked him why they were running his response left her speechless "Everyone has a few, Meggie" she knew then that whatever the reason was it was big enough to make him run. Mo is considered protective because he tries to keep his secret from Meggie to protect her from Capricorn. He tries not to get her involve knowing that if he did things would go terribly wrong. But the more he tries the more Meggie tries to get involve. 

            My prediction for this book is that Meggie will somehow get involved in the secret of her father and end up caught in the hands of Capricorn.  I know this because when her father is taken she is determined to find him "I'll explain explain everything to Capricorn, and give him the book, and then he'll let go of Mo."This shows that she is determined to find her father and save him from Capricorn.  I also believe that Elinor will finally leave her crazy obsession with books behind and help Meggie and Dustfinger find and rescue Meggie's father. The reason I think this is because according to Mo she has always been locked up in her house with her books, saying that books are the most precious thing in the world.  As for Dustfingers future I think that Mo will repay the damage he once did to him and Dustfinger will finally be at peace.   Another thing that might happen is that after the adventure that Elinor is having she might look at the world differently and maybe even books as well. My final prediction is that Mo will reveal his secret to Meggie and change her world for the better.

Tolerance

To me Tolerance means the act of being able to see, hear and understand someone else's opinion, behavior or religion without judging.  No one deserves to have that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach when people judge you by who you are or what you believe in.  Everyone has lived through that feeling at least once in their life and if you could remember that feeling you felt once you should stop and not make that person feel what you felt once. This new understanding of tolerance will shape me and my actions for the future, because I will think twice before saying something that might hurt someone without me knowing. 

Inkheart

     So far in my book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, Meggie's father (Mo) has been taken away and taken to Capricorn castle by Capricorns men. Dustfinger leads Meggie and her aunt Elinor to were he is but feels guilty for her is betraying Mo since he was the reason why he was taken.  Capricorn and his men, pluss Dustfinger are all from a story Mo once read out loud called Inkheart. With out knowing he had a gift, he set the characters of his book out. Now Dustfinger wants  Mo to take him back to the book were his family awaits.  But Mo is afraid for when he brings characters out, someone goes in. Capricorn is after Mo for he can bring anything out of books that could help Capricorn become richer than he already is. 

     In the book the main character Meggie can be considered a book lover and a courageous young girl. She can be considered as a book lover because in the text it said that she had a whole collection of books in a treasure box her father made her when she was young. I also know this because in the beginning she describes her home filled with books in every corner. She can also be considered courageous because she tries to help her father escape despite her aunt trying to hold her back and despite seeing how tall and well formed men were holding her father. In the text it states "There are too many of them !" Elinor whispered as Meg.gie tried to bite her fingers. "About four or five,big strong men and they are armed." In spite of that the next day Meggie tries to escape and find them but is help back by her aunt Elinor and decides to go with Dustfinger and Elinor (her aunt).

The Mortal Instruments: City Of Ashes

     In the book City Of Ashes by Cassandra Clare, Jace is sent to the Prison of the Silent City. The Inquisitor the one who acts like the police for the shadow hunters believes that a time in the prison of the Silent City would do Jace good, for she doesn't trust him for being Valentines son. Simon is getting real close to Clary and Clary has started to have a small affection towards him. The only problem being is that Clary knows that deep down she doesn't have a strong affection towards him but towards Jace.  In the Prison of the Silent City, Jace is visited by Valentine. Valentine is again up to no good and is expecting Jace to join him.
     In the story an again and again moment that happens a lot is that Jace is always criticized and not trusted for being Valentines son. This keeps showing up because everyone thinks that since Jace is Valentines son they think that he will follow his same steps and lead the shadow hunters to doom. "You sound so honest, Jonathan. You always have, even when you were a little boy trying to pin the blame for something you'd done wrong on Isabelle or Alec. I've only ever met one person who could sons as persuasive as you." Jace tasted copper in his mouth. "You mean my father." This proves that the mother who has been taking care of him since a kid is now not trusting him because of the simple fact that he is Valentines son. Not even the person who raised him believes him even though she was the the one who taught him to be the great man he is today.

City Of Ashes by ~ Cassandra Clare

     In the book City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare the main conflict now is that Jace wants to return back home. The only problem being is that no one trusts him, not even his family. Now that he had decided to stay he has to face the court. The Inquisitor will approve or disapprove if he is worthy to stay as a shadow hunter, or if he will just doom them just like Valentine once did.  Him being the son of Valentine doesn't help him one bit.
     In the book the second main character Jace is a very rebellious  and  easygoing person. Jace shows rebellion when his mother throws him out of her house he goes and picks a fight with werewolves. "I shut him up in Freaky Pete's office after he nearly killed half of my pack with his hands". Since no one could stop Jace they called Clary his sister to calm him down when he picked a fight with half a pack of wolves. Jace is considered an easygoing person because when he is insulted he is very tolerant when he is being insulted. He stays calm when they insult him for being Valentines son and stays quite to not say anything back.  This proves that even when they insult him for being like Valentine he stays calm and doesn't say a word or action that would prove them right.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes

     In the book I am reading The City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare Jace has been thinking of his father Valentine and of his newly found sister Clary.  Valentine is regaining his army and energy and plans a combat which would doom everyone and everything. So when Jace starts believing in him without knowing  his plan his adoptive mother ends up kicking him out for her safety. With no where to go he goes and picks a fight with the werewolves. Not responding to anyone or calming down they call Clary. When they see one another they look at each other with a mixed of emotions both wishing deep down that they were not related but something more. 

     The conflict in my book so far is that Jace is focusing too much on Valentine than the rest of his problems. He can't deal with his adoptive mother being offensive towards Valentine even if he had done terrible stuff in the past. The only things that matters to him is finally noticing why he hadn't seen the similarities between him and Valentine.  Another conflict that both Jace and Clary have are the mixed feelings they have for one another. They are supposed to feel like brother and sister but they just can't seem to wrap their heads around that and wish they were not related at all. 

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Continued..

     In my book The Perks Of Being A  Wallflower my main character Charlie yet again  has another Man Vs. Self conflict. With his birthday coming up all he could think about was the death of his favorite aunt Helen. The day of her death she had gone out to buy him a present for his special day. Charlie loved his aunt and he felt guilty because he thought he was responsible for her death. He can't get over the fact that he wasn't to blame for the day she died,  in had been snowing hard and had a really bad accident. He know has therapies in which he is know trying to get over this problem and many others he has in his family.

     So far in my book I think that the theme of this book would be "You shouldn't let your past hold you back let it go".  Maybe later on or at the end Charlie will finally let his past behind and focus on the special things ahead of him.  He will let the guilt that he has been holding since a child go and finally realize that he couldn't stop an accident. The reason I think this would be the theme is the fact that Charlie always feels guilty of the things that happen around him even if he couldn't do anything to stop it.
