The Alchemyst

Pages: 0-40
Prompt: What do you think will happen next?

When I stopped reading the antagonist, Dee, stole the book that made Nick Fleming immortal.  What I think will happen next is that,  Nick, Josh and his sister will go to gather some resources for a long trip going to find Dee.  I think when they go to a shop, the clerk will act suspicious.  Then when they are about to leave,  they will be attacked with a magic fireball and when they discover the clerk is working for Dee,  he will be killed by a dark mist.  Then  when they start to go on their journey,  they get attacked by golems.  They will barely win and when they do,  one takes them and their stuff through a magic portal.

When they get out of the portal, they are in the middel of nowhere and their stuff is almost destroyed.    They are in the middel of a wood when the portal opens up again.  Then they setup camp.  When they are all sound asleep, enemy ninja monsters come out of the trees and attack them.  Nick will attack them with his magic mist and other magic spells and will defeat them all.  All but one.

The last ninja  will take Josh's sister and run off with her.  The two boys chase after it but  the ninja gets away.  They have to take a detour to save Josh's sister.  That will take them a few weeks so while they are doing that, evil will start to build forces.  When they finally save his sister, doomsday is almost at hand.  They save the world at the last second, but Dee gets away with the doomsday spell and vanishes through a magic portal.

"The Defeat"

Memory Lane

Blogging is defiantly  more fun than writing a book report.  When I first started blogging, I really started to develop writing skills.  In my first  blog,  I tended to drone on and on and get really boring.  Since I have started blogging, my writing has become more full of life than the earlier ones.  I can write things more easily than I could in the beginning of the year.  I think my blogs have become more detailed in the description of things like characters and plot and setting.  The detail just come a little more easily to me than it did a few months ago.

Looking at my blogs from then, then looking at them from the past few weeks, I see a difference in choice of words because I think the vocab quizzes and the fact that more people are going to be looking at my blog kind of force me to write with better word choice.  Another thing I have noticed is better sentence formation.  My sentences have increased in length while I am blogging because I have more to talk about now that I put more detail in my blogs.  I also think that since I started blogging, I have  become more eager to read my book because I get a grade on it, and because I can later think about it.

Rules

Pages: Start to end
Prompt: Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?

I think the title fits the story very well.  I know the story is called "Rules" because the main character, Cathrine, gives rules to her autistic little brother.  She comes up with rules with these rules so he does not make a fool of her or himself.  Not many people knows her little brother, David, has autism so they treat him like a they would anybody else.  In one chapter, Cathrine's enemy, Ryan, plays a "joke" on him where he givs him an empty gum wrapper and when David opens it, he breaks down.

One of their rules is "If you don't have the right words, borrow somebody else's". Meaning that he can take words from books to fit in the right situation.  Throughout the book he quotes the books "Frog And Toad"  which I think are his favorite books.  I think this is a good rule for him because he seems to have a little trouble with some communication.  I think this is one of the most important rules of all.

One of the other most important rules is "A boys shirt can come off when he swims, but not his shorts." I think this is a really important rule because David HATES getting his clothes wet.  As soon as he spills something on them no matter what they are, he whips those things off.  This is pretty important when it come to everyday life because we handle liquids every day.

"Sent To The House Of Hades"

I am saying in this poetry that Hanna's daughters are sent to walk in the woods and kill the mocking bird, Walt disney, the kite runner, and send them to the House Of Hades.

The Boy Who Dared 2/5/14

Pages 70-115
Prompt: Summarize

It starts off with Helmuth Joining the Hitler Youth program.  He must go to all their meetings and play games like "Capture the Jew"  Helmuth sees no fun and he believes the games to be cruel.  A few months go by and Helmuth has stopped going to the meetings.  The consequence for  this would be a weekend detention, and or  possibly a fine.  Helmuth knows this but continues not to go.  He is later forced to go.  If he does not, he could bring consequences to his family.  He is promoted to the higher group where they play much more violent games.  He feels that the boys like to shed each others blood.

After he stops to go again, his brother Gerhard brings home a shortwave radio.  He and Gerhard both go into the basement and listen until the BBC stops their broadcast.  Afterward Helmuth thinks that the BBC is telling the truth.  He think this not only because they give their own casualties,  but the German casualties as well.  He has always wondered, but know he is really starting to think what else the Nazi are hiding from everybody else.  One night, he decides to tell someone else about the radio.  His friend Karl.  He hurried everybody to bed while he waited for Karl.  When he finally arrived, Helmuth opened the door before Karl had a chance to knock.  Karl did't know why he was there until he saw the radio.  Helmuth explained his theory about the Nazi and the BBC.

Another thing that began Helmuth's thought of what the Nazi were keeping from him, was all the foreign books.  One day while he was at work, he had to take something down to the basement.  Once he carried it down there he found rows upon rows and stacks upon stacks of books.  He knew he should't but he did.  He cracked one open and began to read a German author that hated the Nazi.  The author's voice was so loud, he had to flee Germany.  Helmuth continued reading and then he decided to stop.  Before he was about to put the book back, he slipped it under his shirt and took it home.
