BLOG #17:
I have just finished The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. The poem that i've chosen is this.

He shows me what was,
And what's meant to be,
And why my life,
Is so important it seems.

A long soar,
Like the eagle high,
I bow my head,
And I start to cry.

Back on the land,
Across from the tree's,
I began to realize,
What healing means.

It mean's not to forget,
Let the past flow,
Of all the horrors,hosen is this.

I believe that this poem supports the book I am currently reading because in the story, Logan Thibault ( a marine) went through a lot of pain because he was serving in the war. The process of healing had been difficult for him because of everything that he had seen during the war.

I am reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and if there were a prequel to it, it would more than likely be about the dragons and how they came to be. This is because so far, the book has not explained how and why dragons exist. Have they always been around? How were they discovered? These are both questions that would probably be answered if there were a prequel to Eragon.

VGomez6: I really like that poem, it has a lot of emotion in it.

MWilliams5: Eragon is such an amazing book! It's very decriptive and I agree with what you said about if there were a prequel.

Book: Unit 731-Japan’s Wartime Human Experimentation Program

Author: Hal Gold

Ishii Shiro is the leader of Japan’s Wartime Human Experimentation Program. Many of the experiments they performed on the prisoners were inhuman. He must have had to persuade many of the staff of the Units to perform these experiments or standby and not interfere or try to stop the experiments. He must have had to persuade them that these experiments were a good and justice thing. Some of the experiments includes: giving prisoners only water to survive on; taking prisoners into freezing temperatures, pour water over their limbs, and beating the limbs until they sounded like wood being hit; performing dissections without anesthesia and awake[they’d usually remove all the prisoner’s organs].

MWilliams5: That’s a very good example of a prequel; my prequel for Divergent is very similar.

Book: CHERUB Book 6 Man vs. Beast

Author: Robert Muchamore

I choose this poem,because this book deals with Animal Freedom groups that believe animals should be treated fairly. I think this poem summerizes this well.

An innocent creature
Given the right to be free,
To grow up normally
And to grow up happily.
That is how animal's lives should be.

When man comes,
They want to please their tounge.
They make the animals suffer
And the innocent creature dies.
Cramped up in dirty cages,
Crying pains of anguish
While the animals' days are numbered
Down to their unfortunate fate.

They say meat is food
They say it's full of protein
They say it's good for blood
And many more nonsense.

This is what meat brings to your body...

high blood pressure and ulcers
Digestive problems and cancer
Lots of trouble to your organs
And to top it off with more poor health
While you openly invite
Nasty illness, disease, and germs.

Man's body is made by nature
To eat a vegetarian diet.
Do you have claws?
Do you have sharp teeth?
The answer is no
Unless you're part human.
Lions, tigers, and crocodiles
Are animals whose bodies fit for meat

Your temper is bad
You're full of revenge
You're savage and cold-hearted.
Your full of barbaric qualities
And can't control your desires.

Why can't you have within your hearts
Appreciation, kindness, respect
And have compassion for all creatures.

Be cool
Be contented
Be peaceful.
Be tender-hearted
Be civil.
Be kind to the innocent.
Be caring.
Most of all,
Be loveable.

@DXi5: That book looks creepy, but really cool. I want to read it sometime.

I missed blog #16. In the book I am reading, Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis, he wouldn't have to do much research at all. He would have to research some of the mythological character, like the fauns, but really he wouldnt have to do much else. Maybe some slight research on castles and battles, but other than that, he didnt have to do much. C.S. Lewis was a real innovator for fantasy writing so most of the ideas were his own.

VGomez6: Sounds like the book and poem have a lot of similarities
