In my book, The Warlock by Michael Scott, one of the main characters (Sophie) would probably want to go to New York. Sophie likes to live a normal life and hang out with her friends, but her family moves a lot because her parents are archaeologists. This has also become even more difficult after delving into the world of magic. She would go to New York, probably, because that is where her best friend Elle lives (the whole series starts with Sophie talking to Elle on the phone and saying they are best friends).

I currently reading Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson.
This book takes place in the school and the hideout of six children. The time period is in the future. The environment of the book is in difficult condition because the six main characters were locked in cage when they were in school. Although they escaped from the school, the half-human had captured Angel from the hideout.
JDeVoe6: I had read that book. The book was fascinating! I strongly recommend The Warlock to everyone.

The book that I am currently reading is called Ninth Grade Slays by Heather Brewer. In class when we were doing one of our Do Now’s we had to use a book for it. I just found it on the shelf. I did not know that at the end of class I would want to check it out from Ms. J Thomas’ library. I thought the parts of it that I read were really good. The genre of the book is Fantasy or Horror. I try to read as often as I can, usually right before bed and when I first get up in the morning to help my eyes adjust to the light. I read at breakfast and sometimes a lot at school. Like when I was reading Cinder by Marisa Meyer I could never put that book down. I am usually anti- social at the dance studio and will sit in the dressing room and read a text book, pleasure book, or find a magazine or list of things for an upcoming performance or rehearsal.
HLee6: Alot of people have read that book would you say that it is very good? My friend's brother said that I would not like it.
I missed blog #4, and in my book, the Amulet of Samarkand, three words that would describe this would be Amulet, Arson, and Arrogant. The first word, Amulet, is relevant because the whole story revolves around Nicholas getting revenge on an enemy by stealing the Amulet of Samarkand, and sending Bartimaeus to get the Amulet, and finding himself in a whole mess of trouble afterwards. I picked Arson, because, in the story, Nicholas watches as his home burns down, with one of his favorite people in the world in it. This is because he stole the Amulet in the first place, as a consequence. I chose Arrogant because Nicholas, a 12 year old magician, is one of the most arrogant people I’ve ever seen; he treats Bartimaeus like an animal.
J DeVoe6, I love that series!
I think I missed blog #5...
I am currently reading Gracling by Kriten Cashore. The main character is Katsa. She is GRaced which means she has two different colored eyes and she has a special skill. Her special skill is that she is really good at killing people. She meets and prince named Po who is also a Graceling and his Grace is that he is really good at combat fighting. Before, no one gave her a tough fight, now she is actually challenged. He still no match for her though. She is really tough and likes to do things her own way. She hangs out with guys mostly.
HLee6: I heard that book is really good. Great post!

The book I am currently reading is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. The most important word in this book is Peeta. The reason being is because after the Quarter Quell ended and the rebels took her, the Capitol took Peeta. Now, with Katniss in District 13, so far away from her love, all she can think about is saving Peeta from the Capitol. And when she sees him broadcasted on TV for the whole world to see, it makes her want him even more.
HLee6: That book sounds really good, I got to start reading that series.

The book I am reading is The Scorched Trails by James Dashner, which is the sequel to The Maze Runner. The main character is Thomas, and once again, he is sent into this unknown land called the Scorch which is the remaining of Earth along the Equator after the sun sent off Flares which burned the Earth within seconds. An example of a simile is on page 355 when the author says, "The place smelled like ammonia and soap." This means that the room had such a clean smell to it that it smelled like ammonia and soap. This book is descriptive because the author is able to picture things in my mind just by describing it. For exmple, on page 340, the author writes, "The Berg touched down on clawlike landing gear and a huge acrgo door in its metal belly began to open."
RSampson5: I absolutely love the Hunger Games trilogy.
I didnt finish my blog before...

If she could go anywhere in the world I think it would be to Po's house because the way that describes it makes it sounds like the coolest place on Earth. When he was talking about it, she was practically drooling over his words. His father built his city so that you had go up the side of a mountain by a long winding road, a steep flight of stairs, or a really old horse operated elevator. Po's house it on the edge of the mountain and overlooks the ocean which Katsa has never seen before.

The Book I am reading is The Serpents Shadow by Rick Riordan.
This book has two different perspectives but both perspectives are written in first person. The book uses the word "I" A lot to describe what the character is doing or going to do. The book states, " I found it annoying that my bookish brother was a combat magician, while I was expected to be the great reader of magic." The external conflict in my book is more of Man vs. Man since Carter and Sadie have to fight off magicians and try to stop Apophis from swallowing the sun. An internal conflict in my book is that Sadie has a crush on two guys at once, Anubis, and Walt. In the book, Sadie has to decide who'd she rather be with and which one would be better for her.
J DeVoe6:
Your book sounds very interesting and similar to mine, since one of my characters used to move a lot and is dealing with magic, though the type of magic in my book is Ancient Egyptian Magic.
HLee6:
I heard the Maximum Ride series was very good, but I never got into it. The setting and environment seems very interesting.

I am reading the book The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. If I had to choose one word to describe this book, I would choose safety. This is because all of the kids in the book are just trying to escape a place called the Scorch, which is filled with insane people who want to kill anyone in sight. They have been promised safety if they can get to the Safe Haven, though. So the whole novel is about them trying to get to that Safe Haven.
JDeVoe6, that sounds like the book would be good. I'll have to read it some time.
I missed blog number seven.
The book I'm reading is The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
The most important word in the section of the book I have read most recently would be "weird". This word may seem vague, but it describes the book so far because everything that has happened to the main character has been weird! He just can't seem to get a break!
AVellis6: I have heard of that book, is it any good?

Book: Hush Hush
Author:
The most important word in my book is probably trust. Nora doesn't know if she should trust Patch, the new "transfer" at school. He is obnoxious and always seems to know exactly what she is thinking and feeling. She finds him anoying and stalker-ish, but yet she is attracted to him at the same time. Nora is scared of Patch; that he is able to make her feel things like no other person does, but she doesn't know if she can trust him.... yet.
ENunn5: I LOVE that book!! So GOOD!! :)

The book I am currently reading is Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. The most important word is probaly accused. Tyler got arrested for vandalizing school property at the end of his junior year. During his senior year, he tries to start over. He ends up going to a party with Bethany Milbury, the girl of his dreams. After the party, some really bad pictures of Bethany get posted online. Immediately, Tyler is accused of taking and posting the pictures. He has to do all of his schoolwork in a room by himslef until the police find out if he is guilty or not. Tyler is eventually found innocent, but many people in his school still don't rust him.
MaceyD6: That sounds like a really good book! Great blog. :)

The book i am currently reading is the Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. The main character is 12 year old orphan boy named Ren. He has lived his whole life without knowing his parents and without his left hand. I think that Ren would love to visit Disney world because most of his life is labor intensive and with his new 'father',it is a more stressful life.If he visited Disney for one day i think he would be a very happy boy.
AVellis6, the title makes me want to read that book now.
I made amistake in my blog. I meant that my book was the Scorch Trials not the Scortched Trails. Sorry.

The book I am Reading is Insurgent by Veronica Roth. In the book Tris and Tobias, the two main characters, are fighting against takeover only their kind, The Divergent, are immune to. They are resisting the Erudite who is a group in the society known for their wisdom. The Erudite takeover the Dauntless minds. Tobias and Tris are Dauntless but are immune because in the test they had to take for there choosing ceremony the results stated they could choose anything. They go on a journey to reverse the anecdote the Dauntless took that took over their minds.
HLee6: That author is really famous, I've always wanted to read one of his books.

I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The book takes place in District 12, which is the poorest district in Panem. It also takes place in The Hunger Games arena were teens fight to the death in this arena that has environmental problems to keep the audience entertained. For example, in the book they made a huge forest fire where Katniss got severly burnt in order to keep their audience entertained. Since this story is fiction I would think it was supposed to take place in the future. The environment of the book is very poor, and people are often sad. In the arena, I would say it's filled with trees, caves, a lake, and it is a sunny, but a little bit of rain.
LWoodward5: That's a really great book! It's one of my favorites!
VGomez: I read that book. It was pretty good.

The book I am currently reading is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Three words to describe this book are control, denial, and flammable. The word “control” could be used to describe this book because the government wants to control what information enters and leaves a person’s head (I have been reading a lot of books like this) by burning all poetry and other works of literature. The government deploys firefighters to start fires that burn these books and thus discourages other citizens to make the mistakes of their neighbors. The next word “denial” also plays a big role in this book. The citizens of the town are denying the world around them, from the drop of dew on a blade of grass to the craters on the moon. The third word “flammable” describes this book because everything Montag knows is being burned away. His captain and co-workers, his wife, his job, hundreds of books, knowledge, and most importantly: time.

I enjoyed that book and hope you did to. That was a great blod.

The book that I am currently reading now is Ruby’s Slippers authored by Tricia Rayburn. In a section of the book Ruby says “…the inside of our car is a tornado wreck” (Rayburn 4). This metaphor means that their car is so messy that it looks like a tornado came through their car. Overall I do think that my book is descriptive. In the beginning of the book Ruby describes her eating down to the flavor and the very last bite.
VGome6: I really love The Hunger Games!!!

Book: Eternal Ones
Author: Kirsten Miller
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle is the alliteration. Reuse: this book is based on the theory of reincarnation that a soul would be “reborn” over and over again becoming different people in different lives. Haven Moore, when she was little, kept on getting visions of a “past life”. Her name was Constance and her lover’s Ethan. But because of these visions her grandmother and the rest of the town of Snope City thinks she’s possessed with the Devil, so she tried to stop her visions. A few years later (age 17) she sees this boy, Iain, on a gossip show and faints, this reoccurs a vision of Constance and Ethan. Reduce: in every life Constance or Ethan try to find the other “reducing the space that spreads them apart”. Recycle: in some lives their lives they reunite in others one ends up dying before they are reunited, but the idea of reuniting with each other brings them back to Earth.

In my book Alex Cross by James Patterson, three words that would describe it would be Love, Loyalty, and Lost. Love would describe this book because all throughout this book, Alex Cross loses loved ones, such as his wife and friend,because of a psychopathic killer. The word Loyalty because Alex Cross stays loyal to his job and family though terrible things happen that he will never be able to recover from. And Lost because in one part of the story, Alex and his family feel lost and in despair when his wife passes away due to the psychopathic killer. Those three words describe my book very well and could easily be able to sum up most of the book.
VGomez, Great book choice. Hunger Games will always be one of my favorite books.
I missed blog number 2. I'm currently reading The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordin. "Those things are going to come alive and attack us, aren't they?" This is an example of personification because when he said these things he meant the manikins which are not living and for them to attack you would be impossible unless they had human qualities.
JDeVoe6-That sounds like a great book, I love books with magic.

Book: The Mark of Athena
Author: Rick Riordan
a. My book is written in 3rd Person Omniscient, because it tells information in an all-knowing way. The narrator is not one of the characters, but someone who knows all of the characters thoughts and actions. To prove how it is a 3rd person Omniscient, I will provide two different quotes from my book.
“Annabeth had seen some strange things before, but she'd never seen it rain cars.” (Riordan 8525) and then 11 pages later, it says “ Leo was still in shock. He couldn't believe that they’d saved the world in under an hour. That must have been a world record or something.”(Riordan 8658).
b. To be honest, my book is both Man vs. Man and Man vs. Nature. I say this only because in the Man vs. Man conflict, the second man, the antagonist literally is nature itself. Despite this is find that the conflict that is more referred to is the Man vs. Man, even though the Man vs. Nature is equally important.
c. Although there are seven main characters in this book, I would say that the character that has the most conflict with themselves is Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena. Her Internal Conflict is that her mother is suffering and is on the verge of going insane. Athena's great statue, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, has been stolen by Romans, and Athena wants Annabeth to retrieve it. However, Annabeth is reluctant to go, because she thinks that her mom may not be entirely sane and she is fearful, due to the fact that many have been on the quest, but none have survived. She also has the problem that this quest goes against her morals in ways that I can not easily describe.
*The long numbers are not the page numbers. I read this book on my Kindle Fire and it doesn't show traditional page numbers, it shows 'locations'.
@Amowry5: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Just finished it now. Did you finish yet? I loved it. I would recommend this book to everyone!!! Not even kidding, it's the best book I've ever read. Everyone has to read this book!!!
Sorry the last one was LJohnston6.

The book that I am reading is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. The main character, Ender, is a 6 year old boy that acts WAY older than his age. I'm pretty sure if he could go to anywhere in the world, it definitely wouldn't be where he is right now. He faces bullies that pick on him for being a "Third", which I still need to uncover what the meaning of that title is. So he would probably go to somewhere where no one is really judged; and that place is Toronto, Canada.
VGomez6: That book was really awesome! That was the only series that I read 2 times over, and over. I couldn't have put it down for the life of me!
The book I’m currently reading is Darklight by Lesley Livingston. The most important word is Fairy, or Fey. This is the most important word because Kelley Winslow, the main character, is the daughter of the Winter King and Summer Queen, so that makes her a Fairy. Also, the Fey have taken over Central Park, the gait to the Fey realm, and she has to get them all back through the gate, Central Park, so they don’t kill everyone.
That was Blog #7
HLee6: That is an AMAZING book!!
