I have read Riley W's Blogpost called "What it is about Mr.Potter". This blogpost was about the book Harry potter. I have never read any read any Harry potter book but from reading Riley's post i felt that the series sounds very very interesting. I might even pick up a Harry potter when i'm finished with my book!

    What i liked about this post was that Riley was how fun he made it. He joked around and he made it seem like he was having fun while typing the post. What i didn't like about Riley's post is he connected to his life to much. It was all Riley and no potter. I wished he just explained the story a little. I wish this because it would have helped me understand the book more and maybe even like it better.

    I have never read any other post by Riley but from reading this i might just read all of them! This post reminded me of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I'm not sure why it reminded me of that book but i was thinking that its because there these books are similar in a way. Both have to do with a boy that has magical powers, Need to save the world Blah, blah, blah that kind of stuff. What it also reminded me of was the movie harry potter. Which made me feel stupid because i have seen all the movies but not the books.

    Riley's post about the book harry potter was engaging. I liked it. The post made me want to read the harry potter series and i might read it soon. There was some parts in the post i did not like and there were some parts that i did like. Most of the parts i did like, I liked the way it was written, I liked the way he connected the book with him self and i liked the way he mentioned our school. What i didn't like was he did not explain the story line of Harry Potter which i wanted to learn about.

Text resistance and Movie resistance

    Text resistance and Movie resistance can be very similar but at the same time different. I go through resistance through both. 
    Movie resistance and Book resistance are different because of how simple it is to keep away from the resistance. Movies are hard to resist from the parts you want to resist because you can miss alot of what is happening Books are easier to resist what you wish, simply skip the page or just the paragraph, without missing to much of the story.
Another way that movie resistance and book resistance is different is because of how you picture it. Movies you actually see, hear it. Books you have to picture/imagine it and every one's imagination is different from the others.
    Movies and Book resistance can also be similar. They can be similar because they feeling it gives you. Movies might add some music to show the feelings and books will add many words or pictures but yet they will feel the same way. I feel that if i read a book and there is a part I resist, i will feel the same way with the movie. Its like two different people mixing to different formulas but getting the same results.
    Therefore movies and books are different. Also similar. Movies are hard to keep away from the part you resist and books sometimes are easier. Movies are easier to imagine what is happening, and books are harder. There also similar. You can feel the resistance in a movie and feel it the same way as a book.

A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer

    This book was so depressing and interesting that I have to make a blog post on it. A very intense book about a young boy who has been abused by his mother. This book was touching and heartbreaking to hear these stories about this boy being abused by his own mother and his older brothers to watch. 
    One reason the book was sad to me was Dave's dream. His dream was for his father to stick to his promise which is to save him from this hell hole of a house. But it never came true. Sometimes when someone makes me a promise i would get sad about them breaking it, but a promise that serious would be terrible to break.
    Another reason why this book i thought this book was extremely sad. Is because it was a true story. I know many people have experience abuse but not all of then experienced writing a book about it. This story was sad to begin with but knowing it was a true story made me beyond sad. Sad because this little innocent boy has experience beatings that no kid should ever be beaten. A spank or a timeout is one thing. But making your child eat poop, drowning him, smacking him poisoning him, Starving him and not loving him is a different story. A complete different story. 
    The last reason i thought this book was sad was because no one has done anything to help him for a long time. The teachers knew, some adult suspected it. But he was helped many years later. Which is terrible timing. But a great way to make a dramatic story about it. Noticing in alot of book/movies that usually when some one is getting abused it takes them a long to  for them to express what is happening to them.
    Therefore the book A child called "it" is a very sad story.It is sad because Dave pelzer (The author) is the main character (Meaning its a true story). Its also sad because Dave yes been abused in the book for many years and no one was there to help him. The main reason it was sad because of his dream which didn't come true. 

A character that I admire

    A character that i admire would be Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Percy is the main character who is a demi god trying to save the world and find out his prophecy. I choose Percy as a

character that i admire  because i can relate to him. I also chose Percy because he is very hard to relate to.

     One reason that i can relate to Percy Jackson is his Leadership. Percy has to be a leader in order to succeed his quests. I feel like I'm a leader out of my friends. I make the right choices and Lead us to a safe path (For Now On). Another reason i can relate to Percy Jackson is his Braveness. Percy is a demigod which means he has powers and stronger then normal people (meaning humans) he has to fight big, ugly green, tall, evil monsters. 

Sometimes I feel I do to. But my monsters are not green and evil tall or big. My monsters are challenges, and problems which I'm sure everyone has to face their "Monsters" at least once in life. The last reason that i can relate to Percy is his love for the sea.  love the sea ever since i was younger. Percy can control the sea so he has no choice but to like the sea.

    I also admire Percy Jackson because i cannot relate to him. One reason I can't relate to Percy is because he is a demi-god with magical powers. I know for a fact that no one can relate to that part of Percy's life. I also cannot relate to Percy because his very immature. Percy doesn't know how to stop and listen sometimes. I feel that i am the opposite, One warning for me and that is enough. I notice all through out the book Percy gets warned once, he doesn't listen and he ends up in like a dark hole or about to get eaten by a cyclops or something. Another reason i can't relate to Percy is because of his reading problems. Percy has dyslexia and ADHD. which are serious problems that can effect your reading, writing and your movement. I definitely cannot relate to that because i never had a disorder or a reading problem. I never experience something like that.

     Therefore I can and can't relate to Percy Jackson. I can relate to Percy because his braveness, his leadership and his passion for the see. I can't relate to Percy because his immaturity, his powers and his ADHD/Dyslexia.  

The name of this book is secret by Pseudonymous Bosch

    The book The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch is a very interesting mystery book about a girl and her best friend who figure out a long adventurous journey to figure out the mystery of a dead famous magician. Although the book is fiction. The main characters show signs that they're real but also fake. Fake meaning highly unlikely for a child our age (around the age of 10-15) to do. Real meaning it most likely for a child around our age to do then not to do.

    One reason Cass and Max-Ernest can be real people are how adventurous they are. Cass and Max-Ernest always want to go somewhere and do something, Travel etc. I know lots of kids want to go on an adventure, play a game,or  travel. Another reason Cass and Max-Ernest can be real people are what they do out side of school. Cass goes home does her homework help her grandparents with a couple things eat cookies,drink milk. These things are activities kids 5-15 would do,Unlike some books were there these people go home and hide in a closet and end up in a different world. My last reason these characters can be real people are how confident they are. Many kids are confident that they can do what the parent can do. Such as solving a mystery or Saving someones life. For an example when i was younger (about 5 years old) i used to dig in the dirt of my backyard hoping i would find a piece of gold or something very valuable that a treasure hunter who be the way probably has a huge amount of experience can't even find.

    Cass and Max-Ernest can also be fake people. One reason they can be fake is the Mystery. It's highly unlikely for children to go on a mission to sneak into a dead magicans house and find information about him while professional detectives are trying to do the same. Another reason they can be fake is Cass's preparedness. Cass is so prepaid, she keeps a bag filled with serviving materials such as: Pocket knife, a Flash light etc. I know being prepared for a natural disaster every single day is something a  kid would prefer not to do. The last reason that these character are fake is working at a young age. Cass and Max-Ernest are around 12 years old and they are trying to solve a deadly and Dangerous crime. I am pretty sure that Children solving a dangerous mystery is illegal.
   Therefore Cass and Max-Ernest can be real people or Characters in a book. They can be real because they adventurous, they do normal activities that real people would do after school and their confidence. Cass and Max-Ernest also can be characters in a book because their in mystery, their way to prepaid and their doing something illegal which is  working on a deadly mission for kids. 

I Am Number Four Justice Essay.

    Justice-the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, ormoral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause. Justice in the book by Pittacus Lore strikes constantly. In Hard and obvious ways. Their is also people who block The main character (Four) for justice.

    I felt like Four knows how to fight back. Comparing him to other books with teenagers that have supernatural powers, Usually the kids don't fight back. Because 1. they can really hurt someone 2. they do not want to loose cover 3. to control their power. Four is not like them, He's not afraid to fight back. I feel like he shows justice when he fights back with Mark even though he's doing the wrong thing, He's trying to defend him self. He doesn't really hurt Mark physically only mentally,with words. The reason i think Four is showing justice with fighting back with mark is by teaching him a lesson to stop bullying people.

    Henri is definitely the character that stops Four from justice. He is very afraid of Four doing anything that will get him alot of attention. Which i don't blame Henri for being scared, Four is being tracked down and might be killed. Although Henri warns Four to becarful and treations him that they are going to move if he doesn't watch what he does Four continues to Fight back. Which also shows another way that Four is showing  justice.
