The Maze Runner Blog #2!

The Maze Runner

Okay, so I just finished the book Maze Runner, and it was a really interesting book. Also, they have a movie, so I was waiting to just finish the book and watch the movie. The movie was really fun and it was very similar to the book, except some small twists here and there. The ending of the book was really interesting because it left like some suspense. For example, Thomas found out that he worked for the "bad people" and that they were planning on leaving them there. Also, he didn't want to give up so he told the rest, that if they wanted to get out of there, that they just had to fight hard and follow him.I absolutely loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone who like Fiction.

The genre of my book would have to be fiction. It would be fiction because they get their mind wiped of all things that are personal. Also they are sent into a place called the glades and they were never told about it. In addition, they could be killed. Another thing that tells me that this book is fiction is that they could get stung by a griever which is a human killing robot that roams the ground of the maze at night when the walls shut close. Lastly, the evidence that shows me this book is fiction is that they have giant walls that move and that wouldn’t be possible because they have no force doing it, they just close automatically. Based on that evidence from the book, I can say the book is Fiction. That okay though, because I loved it!

The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner!

The book I am reading is called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. So far in the book I I’ve gotten to the part where thomas is taken into the glades.He gets to the glades with no memory of his past life or who he was. Also thomas meets chuck which becomes his closest friend in the glades. Thomas could not believe the fact that in the glades the walls sealed shut every night to keep out the “Grievers. The second day thomas was there he was woken up by Alby and he was showed a  griever that was inside the maze. That’s what I have read so far in my book.   

The conflict in the book would be considered Man V. Man. The conflict in the book so far is that Thomas doesn’t remember anything of his past. He doesn’t remember his family, where he lived, who his friends were, and at first he didn’t even remember his name. He’s trapped in a place he doesn’t even recognized, in reality its called “the glades”. Its in the center of the maze, but of course they didn’t know that. Thomas meets a couple of people that have no idea why or how they got there either. That is what the conflict in the story is so far.

The Pregnancy Project Blog #2 !

PREGNANCY PROJECT

         I have just finished the book "The Pregnancy Project" by Gaby Rodriguez and it was amazing! The outcome of this project was really great, but also devastating for others. Some were really amazed but understood what Gaby did, and why she did it. Of course it was really surprising but at the end, she had the support of her family and her boyfriend who at some point became her "Ex- Boyfriend". The point is that even though Gaby went though so many obstacles, she made it through all 9 months where she was supposed to have her "baby" but instead gave an inspirational speech about stereo types of pregnant women. I think Gaby is a really strong character because no matter the comments, mean mugging and her family's disapproval she went managed to get passed it and of course know how hard it would've been if she was really pregnant. I think Gaby's a strong girl because in the book it clearly states; "Having people give you that "look" everywhere you go is enough to make pregnancy a demoralizing experience." This shows that just a look can make pregnancy so depressing. This shows that Gaby was strong enough for 9 months to show what pregnant women go through.

 


          The genre of the book "Pregnancy Project" would be non-fiction and drama. I say this because the book has happened in life. Certain events in the book has happened in schools. I know this book is Non Fiction because Gaby is a real life girl that wanted to experiment what it was like to be pregnant, and show the world that all these stereo types about pregnant girls weren't true. In the book it says; "Maybe some of them were forced to think about the comments they had made about me or the girls who really were pregnant,and they didn't like what they had to face." This shows that in this part of the book they're a lot of drama and conflict!  personally really enjoy reading realistic fiction. I enjoy reading these types of books because your reading a book that can happen. Certain things that happen in a Realistic-Fiction book can happen in life. I would love to read new genre books that I have not yet read so far! I would want to read more mystery books because I don't read many books like that. 

The Pregnancy Project

The Pregnancy Project 

          Okay! So, i'm sure many of you have already read "The Pregnancy Project", and if you have you guys know its one of the best books ever! I barely started reading it, so Im barely at the part where she's introducing her family and all that her mom went through when she was younger. Right now, from what I've read her mom had a lot of kids from just one guy, and that guy used to hit her all the time and well abuse her and her kids. He took them away from their mother and lied by saying that she left them. He won court for some reason, that I don't even comprehend. Just to leave them behind when he left with the smallest child and his new girlfriend to Washington. I don't know about you, but I would've hated to have a dad or a husband like that. You can already make lots of connections with that. So far, I am loving this book. This isn't even the start to this amazing book. I think i'm going to blog more and more throughout this week to keep everyone updated! You can join me by reading this book!

          Okay, well I've decided to make this second paragraph of my blog a "Prediction" paragraph. I don't know anything that's happening so far, since i've just read through the intro. As of what I know, Gaby is famous for her "Pregnancy Project", based on what I've read I don't think Gaby would get pregnant. In addition, the book is called "The Pregnancy Project" It's a project. I think that it's going to be a class project, or she's going to fake the pregnancy maybe to show others how hard it is, or to imagine the pain that her mom went through. Maybe not having the baby, but just the criticism. Either way, i'm looking forward to keep reading this book! Hope you join along with me!

Blade Silver Blog #2

Blade Silver

             Blade Silver is a book with MANY conflicts in it. A book always has a main conflict. In the book Blade Silver the main character Ruth is going to depression. Real bad depression. I just finished my book, but honestly, there are some parts in there where it's just like a movie. You just want to yell out loud "NO! DON'T DO IT." I actually did it and scared my mom a bit. Occasionally she would yell out "Go read outside!" If only she would read it with me. She would understand why I was so anxious. Anyway, back to conflicts; Ruth is struggling so much right now. She has lots and lots of problems. Specially with her mom who just tried to commit suicide. Just put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel? Awful right? You can only read this book to see how Melody Carlson explicitly explains Ruth's pain.



         How does this book make me feel? Well, as I mentioned in the paragraph above, it made me feel anxious! I was done with the book after a week and like 4 days. I would yell out in some parts because it made me feel so mad how some things were being resolved. Im only 13, but I believe I'm pretty mature. Lots of teenagers are mature by this period in their life. Therefore, as a mature teenager I knew that the solution to many of these problems were definitely not right! I was mad, anxious and also sad. The part where I was mostly sad was when I finished the book. I love reading books I can relate to. I was sad because I wish this was like a never ending book. Everything was so clear I could picture it. In addition, I was also sad when I found out why Ruth was cutting, because of problems at home. Its not easy to see your mom die, and its even harder seeing her trying to kill herself. This book made me feel so bipolar but, it was worth it and I loved it! I would recommend it to everyone. Have fun reading Blade Sliver! 

Blade Silver

Hello bloggers! Its been a while since I've blogged about any of the books I've been reading, but here I am! Ready to start blogging? Here we go.

BLADE SILVER   

     Blade Silver is a book from the series "Color me Scarred" or "True Colors" by Melody Carlson. The purpose of the author in these books are to support kids, specially teens. Blade Silver is book number 7 of these series. Through these books, Melody Carlson writes tragic but common stories that most teens are probably going through. She starts normally, later on the problem is shown, but at the end it always shows a solution. This means that she's here not only to entertain some readers, but she's also informing. She's informing because she's showing that there's always a solution, but she's also showing others how some of their classmates, or friends are being affected. It works both ways, and I personally can relate to a lot of these books. So, I thank Melody Carlson for her inspiring stories!

    Okay! I know after reading the author's purpose you're probably dying to hear what this one book is about. Well, I shall tell you now. Blade Silver is about a girl who's been through a lot. It all started with her mom having suicidal thoughts, and eventually trying to commit suicide. Of course, Ruth's mom is her daughters image, so Ruth follows in her footsteps. After Ruth's mom trying to commit suicide, Ruth started thinking about everything so differently. That's right, the blade seems to be the only option, and solution in this story. She cuts, a lot. She cuts so much, she doesn't even remember how many times she's picked up that blade and sat there in the bathroom just watching her blood dripping. Ruth wouldn't stop. Summer came and only after a friend spotted the scars on her arms is when Ruth started to face the problem. We all know that a lot of times when you try to solve a problem, a bigger problem is created. Will Ruth get past this phase of her life? Read more and find out!

GOALS FOR 2015

        I've been making changes trough out last year and this year. My grades have been going up and i love the smile my mom gives me when i show her all the improvement i've been making. Last year, i made a goal to this year get a's and b's. This quarter i got a C, next time i know i have to make better decisions with the people i work with. For the next two quarters my goal is to get mostly a's if not all of them. I will try harder in all of my classes, i will try to focus more. Also, i put a new positive ring tone to my alarm, so when i wake up, i wake up dancing and with a positive attitude to come to school and learn.



My personal goal, is to forgive all the bad things that happened in 2014. Forgive, not forget. If there wasn't a person i liked, i wont force myself to like them but I will respect them. No mean mugging, no bad facebook comments. Also, I would try to to smile more. Some might ask, how's that possible? Well, i love laughing and smile, being mad over things isn't my thing. I think that if you laugh, you will have a much more positive day! I really hope this year goes as great as 2014,  even better, not even get one C.
