The Maze Runner by James Dashner
The four words I did not know in my book were: muffled, palpable, morbid, decipherable
Sentence: Everyone immediately ran forward, forming a packed crowd around her, a palpable excitement hovering the air.
Definition: Able to be touched or felt.
AMowry5: I had never heard the word bulwarks before, however I had heard ornate.
Blog 11: I think the theme in Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult is more a question. How far will you go to get justice for someone you love? Nina Frost is a prosecutor and ends up on the stand for killing the man who allegedy molested her son. She is only convited of manslaughter because they say that she had reason. Her husband becomes angry for her going to jail, but then he poisons the man that actually committed the crime.
CNorton5: You keep saying that is a good book. I have only hear the word conforming once or twice but i know what the others mean.
Blog 13: Oooppsss. I didn't do the winter holiday one...
In Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult the main character is Nina Frost. She os a mom of a five year old, a wife, and a prosecutor. Her son gets molested and she goes to jail for manslaughter. When they learn that she killed the wrong man, her husband poisoned the right one. She and her family would most likely celebrate Christmas.Before she went to jail and her son got molested, they would wake up at six in the morning. Since he is an only child and they are rich, he would probably be spoiled to the point of being sick. They would probably give him everything he wanted. Then Nina and Caleb would open the presents they got for each other. They would probably have a huge Christmas night celebration where they invite their whole family on both sides along with their friends that live in town.
CNorton5: You keep saying that is a good book. I have only hear the word conforming once or twice but i know what the others mean.

Book: The Death Cure
Author: James Dashner
1) "Small groups of people dotted the area up ahead. But as we turned along the alley the Cranks tripled." (pg 220) Tripled means to multiply by three and it relates to the book by saying that the Cranks became three times more than what they saw before they turned into the alley.
2)I think that Thomas and Lawrence will get through the Cranks and make it to the Right Arm in order to destroy WICKED.
CNorton5: I had no idea what excavator meant until you posted this blog.

I am currently reading The Diviners by Libba Bray.
The main character name is Evie O'Neil and she has been exiled from her old hometown for using her supernatural power, which was the power to see the past by anything or any person.She moved to New York City and she is pos-i-tutely (Positively) ecstatic.She has to live with her uncle, who was unhealthy.
I think Evie wants to read is The Name of This Book is Secret by Pseudonymovs Bosch because this book Evie's personalty is very suspicious and weird. Also, this book has a lot of mysterious stories like Evie's life and her supernatural power.

I have just started this amazing book, but from what i have read so far nobody likes this he guy and he is the one that gives scars to jack. everyone else knows who he is and they despise him and i think its some kind of arch-angel or evil god. Jack is the only one who doesn't know who this mysterious man is but he know his sister knows. This man gave the scar to jack. Jack mysteriously left one day and returned with the scar on his face. He is trying to figure out who did this to him.
LVargas6: i know what muffled means but I don't know the other two.
I missed post number 14. Four vocab words that I previously never knew that were in the book The Lost Stories, by John Flanagan, would be these four; Impetus, Pirouetting, Coquettish, and Portcullis. “Under Gilan’s direction, Blaze has risen to her hind legs, pirouetting like a dancer to reverse her direction with barely a pause.” Definition: 1) to perform a pirouette; whirl, as on the toes 2) a complete turn in which the horse uses its hind legs as a pivot.
AMowry~~ Good words. Most of them have to do with boats. What does nonentity mean?
LVargas6: I new what the other words were expect for palpable. I have heard great comments about that book; i hope ur enjoying it!

I missed blog #8 (Ooopsies)
An allusion in my book that I recently finished (Cherub Mission 1: The Recruit authored by Robert Muchamore) would be Pizza Hut. I’m not really sure why the author included it, but if I were to take a guess I would say just to add more details instead of just saying he went to eat.
The Allusion: “Then he stuffed himself at the buffet in Pizza Hut.” (Muchamore 59).
AMeling5: I don't know what any of those words mean! Challenging vocabulary!
Blog #9
I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. The main sharacter is Clay Jenson. He is just a regular high school boy, until he receives a package. It contains 7 cassettes made by Hannah Baker, a classmate of Clay's who comitted suicide. In the recordings, she explains why she killed herself, and she syas who is to blame for her death. All of the 13 people that receive the package are one of her reasons. Clay is curious to find out why Hannah comitted suicide, but he doesn't want to know why it was partially his fault. A book that Clay would probabaly like to read is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Clay could relate to the main character of Hatchet because they are both adventurous and going through a life changing struggle.
LVargas: That book souinds really good! Great words and great blog. :)
I’m reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer and the main theme of the book is (Yes its simple) don’t judge a book by its cover. The main character Melanie Stryder has now been taken over by an alien soul. Her “other self” can see and hear her memories, like the boy she loves. She decides to go back to him, but when she goes back to him, he doesn’t want to see her. Now that he knows, he thinks she isn’t the same person she used to be and judges her, thinking she’s never going to be the same.
LVargas6: Those are hard words, now I know at least one of the definitions.
*SPOIL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Book: CHERUB Mission 4: The Killing
Author: Robert Muchamore
I think the theme of this book is a twist on the popular theme, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. My theme statement is: "Watch your enemies closely, but watch your friends even closer." I choose this as my theme because in my book (spoiler now)
You discover that the mission leader's best cop and close friend is a murderer and a criminal on many accounts. Leon, the obvious criminal, is kept under close surveillance, but he does nearly nothing, however, the friend who is suspected the least turns out to be the real criminal.
@Meling5: Great word choice! I've never seen any of them except Pirouetting. Is that book good?
I am reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. In the book the main character, Tris, is a "special" type of girl in her society. A lot of people including her "allies" try to kill her. One time was when the factionless wanted to kill her. They didn't want anyone ratting them out to the erudite.
My persuasive situation is Tris trying to convince the factionless not to kill her.
Tris's counter argument would be: "Guys, I know you want me dead, but I could help you all defeat the Erudite because of my special talents."
Byoung6: Very good counter argument. If I was in the situation I would say the same thing.
