          It was the day that me and Dyradalid went in battle with Dinoadvena. It was a fatal fight that will decide the fate of everyone. I gripped my axe with haste. My name is Tigrier and I fight my battle today with all my might and power. This battle will secure the hearts of many comrades and foes. The battle of Terra will be the final battle. And I will lead it. But before the battle starts, I want to write about the reason why I’m here. Today is May 14th, 2024. But this story took place about three years ago.
It was October 23rd, 2021. I just finished my training at the Center of Lorem. Me and my friend Draxon were going back to my home in a town named Oppidum. I got a call from the Pugnatum Army. It was about a war that broke out about an hour ago with our biggest foes the Dinoadvena Army. Their leader, Dinoadvena wanted to conquer our land; so he sent troops to our town. We were waiting for this attack to happen. All the men and women in our army set out to go to battle at the Center of Bellum; where we prepare for any war/battle. Me and Draxon knew this was going to happen, but not at this moment. The moment was wrong because our recent army leader and all time great in our town, Domine Dona died at eighty-seven years old. But I had to fight I had no choice.
Five hours later, two-hundred dead, three-hundred injured. Me and Draxon were alive, but in agony of the war. I never imagined a war so deadly and sad. But I met a friend, Dyradalid. She had to fight in the war because she was a rare kind. She knew how to weald and a lightning ferrum. It’s basically in untouchable blade. But she has such heart and dignity for this war. That’s it. And here I am, three years later, with Dyradalid and Draxon by my side in the war. Right now we’re in Fortuna Castra about to battle the last battle. This is where Dinoadvena is presenting himself. He will fight in this battle with his final army. I grip my axe and look at it with my war engraved eyes. This will be a memory among the rest. My axe. My general yells “Here they come!” I weald my axe and smile.

I, Dumodoor Belle, will finally obtain the control of the mighty indestructible dragon, Nightfire , born from the home of the rising phoenix. I had fooled all those stupid pathetic humans, my disguise of being a kind librarian. They had always made fun of me in the past hundreds years. NOW THEY SHALL PAY. They are all at my mercy! My control! They shall become my slaves. Once my dragon is released, they shall all bow down to ME! THE MIGHT WIZARD OF HARRIPOPOYEILD. 

For years I have been seeking for power from Harripopoyeild. Now that I've finally found the power I've been seeking for years, NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW! With the mighty dragon on my side they will all PAY for what they have done. Making me the fool they think I am. Well lets see what they can do against me. I WILL BECOME THE MIGHTY WIZARD OF HARRIPOPOYEILD! AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO!

I summoned the mighty dragon at the mouth of the volcano. The dragon rose up from the molten lava, it's scales glimmering with flames. This dragon has no choice but to listen to my every command! Look at me now, mere peasants! I'M NOW THE GRAND WIZARD OF HARRIPOYEILD! NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW! The dragon let out a blood curdling roar.

     1) In the picture given, there are two Lords. The Lord on the left is Dimicatio, the Lord of fighting. The right is Tempus. They are both old silly men. They always have different opinions on the same topics. They fight over the smallest things. Dimicatio controls wars and fights, but is too old to do his job properly and constantly messes up. Tempus controls time and has been doing his job for too long and cant do it right. He confuses himself up.
     2) In the scene the two Lords are fighting over the correct way to chop frog legs for a magic recipe. While they are fighting and arguing, they are turning each other into animals. Since their old, the spells mess up and they turn each other into mixtures of animals.
     3) Prudens is the youngest of all of them and the wisest and always resolves the problems between the two lords. He is the Lord of Time. He is smart and a good problem solver. He resolves the problems between them by turning them into to frogs!

Thursday, June 15, 2017

From the day me and my group started reading this book, we have read up to page sixty eight in two weeks. In those pages we have read, we have learned a lot about the characters in this book. The main characters, Cassia, Xander and Ky are very important to the book. Cassia is the most important in the book because she has the most problems and has the biggest point-of-view. Xander is the second most important character because he is Cassia's match and he plays a big role in the book being Cassia’s match and partner. Ky is the third most important character in the book, even though he had just entered the book, he was mixed up with Cassia’s microcard when she was being matched. During the book, Cassia has many more problems to face now and in the future.
There was a scene where Cassia opened a silver box secretly and saw her microcard. But the image of the microcard isn't the person she was expecting. On the microcard, the person that Cassia saw was not Xander. But instead it was Ky Markham, which Cassia knew but hasn’t met him in many years. In the story Matched page 39, the author mentioned, “Except. The face I saw, the face that was not Xander: I knew him, too.” This is significant because from this part of the scene, it shows that Cassia was worried about her match. But the Society is always correct, and never wrong. So she thought it was someone that gave them the wrong microcard. But when Cassia and Xander went to casino to have some fun, in Official took Cassia for some time, and replaced her microcard with a new one that is suppose to be right. In the story, page 43, the author mentioned, “She holds out her hand, I drop the microcard into her outstretched palm. “Perfect. I’ll take care of this.” She placed it inside her small Official’s case. I catch a glimpse of her tablet container and notice that it is larger than standard issue. She saw my glance. “Higher-level Official carry extra,” she says. “In case of an emergency.” I nod, and she continues. “But that's not something you need to worry about. Now this is for you.” She takes another microcard from a side pocket inside the case. “I’ve checked it myself. Everything is in order.” This is significant because it shows that someone might had replaced Cassia’s microcard with their own so they believed that the Society messed up. But they never messed up. Even though Cassia got her card completed, Ky Markham, is going to have a serious play to the next scene.
    In conclusion, Cassia has gone through some adventures short throughout the book. She had her microcard mixed up and she had to get a different one from in Official instead of spending most of her time with Xander. But moving on from her struggles, some of the good things in the story were that she got matched with Xander, her long time best friend, and has made many good friends and relationships throughout the story. She also has learned many things throughout the book like the hardships of being seventeen like taking care of her life and family or learning how to become a woman. But the book has been an adventure.


Mariam Abdelrahman : The search for delicious


Mariam Abdelrahman  The search for delicious  By : Natalie Babbitt


    I am reading a book called " The search for delicious. The book is a about 12 years old boy named Gaylen and he lived in a castle with king since he was a baby. The Prime Minister wanted a new delicious food.  He went to the king and told him that they should take other people that are in the town opinions about new food and whatever is the most votes in the delicious food they are going to put the new recipe in the food dictionary . As the quote says " we will have to find out what every body thinks and write it all down and then whatever gets the most votes for delicious will be the thing I use in the dictionary"

    Gaylen was sent by the Prime Minister to an advantage to search for new delicious food in different towns. The Prime Minister courage Gaylen to do that and ride the horse and to go to new town to search for food. As the Prime Minister says " It will be good for you to go about and see something of the world is really like while you are still young enough not to get discouraged" this quote is significant because the Prime Minister is giving Galyen a courage and positive thoughts a feels and energy in order to let him do that.

   While Gaylen on his way and searching for food he saw a minstrel who was singing about a mermaid. This mermaid was so young a little her name is Ardis .  She was trapped in a rock . There was a dwarf and when he blow a whistle the rock open and Ardis could play with her doll. one day Ardis was trapped in the rock and cried and no one heard her.

  The rock flew clear across the room and crashed through the window. For a few moments, they all just stared at the broken window. Jesse ran outside from the rock shop to where the "Thunder Egg" flew. Jesse carefully picked up the egg and whispered, "Are you alright?" The egg remained silence. "I'm sorry, I tried my best to save you, guess you need some time to rest." Jesse carefully wrapped the egg with papers and went back to the egg shop.
  Uncle Joe said, "I'll clean up the mess, don't get cut by the broken glass pieces, walk carefully, guys." Uncle Joe tried to put the blade pieces back together like a puzzle. "I'm really sorry, Jesse, we're just too excited to see what's inside an thunder egg. Thought we had it because poppy' have much experience to open it." Said Daisy. "I'm gonna take this egg home, let's see if anything would happen tomorrow.
  "How was it Jesse? Had a little fun on the mountain?" Aunt Maggie asked.
"It was fine. Thanks" Jesse replied. "I got a cool rock and Uncle Joe was trying to open it and see what's inside, sadly we failed and Uncle Joe have to fix his blades and windows. Aunt Maggie was a lovely aunt and she was my mother's only sister.

Chapter 20.

Griever started going up on the wall towards Thomas's direction. Thomas did not know what to do. He knew that if he would stay still and not do a single thing, griever would find him, and stung him. In Thomas's head popped I think that I should stay still and cover in vines. That's the only way to survive.If it won's work. I will have to run. Thomas was ready for his plan. He saw 12 needled ugly living mechanical thing  that is huge, walking on the wall and looking for him. He will need to hold his breath and stay patient, or plan A will fail. Griever is not below him, and he stopped. It was looking straight at the entrance to glade, looking for people that stayed outside, but no success. After really painful moments, Thomas lost his breath and was breathing out loud. Griever walked away.
            Thomas was still really confused, and did not move for 20 more minutes, staying patient and staring at the wall, but something really unpredictable happened. Alby woke up and started screaming as loud as he could
           "We are dead shuck-face!Heeeeeeeeeelp!"
  This made grievers to run  back, and Thomas did not know what else to do, and in a second, Alby was shut down again. Damn it!What do I do, what do I do? popped in Thomas's head. He tried to rip the vines as fast as possible, and make his feet because that was the first thing that he did. To prevent from killing Alby, Thomas yelled out loud
    "Come and get me stupid machines"
Grievers were close, Thomas started running. There was no place to run, and he remembered that he needs to memorize the pattern so he would come back. No sight of Minho. Nothing. Just random run. Thomas caught the moment of walls changing patterns, and he took advantage of that. When the walls were changing, Thomas ran in-between which made griever to collapse. All liquid went out. Thomas said out loud
" Here comes the dead griever"
The problem is, he has to survive until the morning comes.

     Today I read about If I Stay, I read to page 90, Cody needs Harry to take down an encryption to see Meg's deleted files. The files have very important information to what Meg was doing before she killed herself with the industrial cleaning chemicals. Cody visits Ben to see the kittens that he is raising, Cody doesn't think Ben is a good person because he "slept" with Meg."She cried. After we slept together.She cried.She'd been in okay, and then she was crying." This is significant because it shows how much of a jerk that Ben is. After that when Cody went back Harry managed to open the deleted files that Meg tried to delete. The files show very horrifying things, even a website that tells people suicide is okay.

     The book is really messed up from page 1 to page 90, a douche bag like Ben slept with someone like Meg. Ben says that he is not that big of a s***bag from the quote on page 87. "You mean did I f@#$ her when she was passed out? Jesus Cody I'm not that big of a s***bag." This is significant because the quote shows that Ben is not a complete jerk. Why would someone do that any way, sleep with someone while they are passed out? The book is full of curses and inappropriate things like suicide and "sleeping". The book is full of realistic things such as people suicide and people doing it.

     On page 90 it is strangely revealing Meg's intentions about her drinking down the poison and killing herself. Apparently she was a part of a group that supported suicide and the group was called the final solution. She also looked up cleaning chemicals, the chemical that Meg got said it was 100% guaranteed to work, how fitting. Harry also found a list that Meg made, it was about choosing the right time to kill herself. The list said, get the cleaner, the perfect date, the suicide not, and other plannings about this. And finally the last thing that was found is when Harry looked up Meg's browser history and cracked it. And tell Cody to come to see what he found.

     In Matched, the main character Cassia Reyes is "matched" with her childhood friend Xander. However, her microchip flashes a picture of someone else. She slowly finds herself falling in love with  Ky instead of her "match." Her world is very strict. There's no mistakes. Society has taken over. Every one must follow rules. But Cassia chooses to rebel. She begins learning to write and fight against society.
     In matched the main character Cassia wonders if she is pretty. She wonders if she has a good personality. The author shows this In the book by, " Do I look pretty? Now the question is Am i strong?"Pg 204 This is significant because the main character is questioning her self. She feels self continence. This adds sophistication to the story by making the story line have mood. This adds mood to the story.
     Cassia is going to break the rules of the society just to be with Ky.  On page 285 it says,"My instinct tell me to put him with the more efficient group."Cassia want the best for Ky and she is starting to have feelings for him also. She wants to be with Ky even though she is matched with her friend, Xander. Cassia is going farther and farther away from Xander. In the meantime she is getting closer and closer to Ky an Aberration.

 
Matched is a romance novel about a girl named Cassie Reyes who gets matched with Xander Carrow, her best friend. She was looking over at his micro card even though she knows everything him and see's a face that is his. Ky Markham is a a aberration because he is adopted. He will be a single and not matched. Somehow Ky showed up on the screen even though Xander is her match.

    In the story, Thomas, Minho, and Alby got locked out of Glade and were stuck in the Maze after not making it out of the Gates in time. Alby was injured by Grievers and the two had to decide what to do with him. Minho had left him while Thomas stayed with him. Minho has given up hope on getting out of the Maze. This can seen in the story when it says, " Minho abruptly jumped at Thomas and grabbed him by the shirt. 'You don't understand, shuck-face! You don't know anything, and your'e just making it worse by trying to have hope! We're dead, you hear me? Dead!" (pg 117) This shows how Minho doesn't believe that getting out of the Maze is possible. He has given up and gave in to death.

    Thomas would be a good friend to have. He doesn't abandon others. This can seem when the book stated, "He couldn't leave a friend to die. Even someone as cranky as Alby.". This line is significant because this show that he wouldn't leave any of his friends behind and would always have their back. Even if they're in great danger with monster hunting them down. He would still try his best to help you even if other left you.

     Thomas even though he knows that he is going to die in the maze, he still takes Alby with him all around. Even though Alby is going to die from the poison in his body, Thomas still takes him with him. He is a good friend and cares about his friends more than his life. "He knew he couldn't go up- that would only bring the Griever across the path of Alby." This shows that Thomas is careful about what he does and thinks things through.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Harvey, Eric

The Forests and Hands of Teeth by Harvey, Eric
7B 06/13/17

Review
The review of the point of the book that we read so far is when Mary kissed Travis for the first time. In the beginning, Mary is thinking about how they would survive and also while waiting for her mom's husband. In the middle, Sister Tabitha goes to Mary as she goes and leads her down to the main Sanctuary as to have to earn her privileges. She prays and take vows everyday. Later, she doesn't want to be with god as she goes into the sacred well to burn off her skin as she wants to go into the unconsecrated.

Rating
I would rate the book "The Forests of Hands and Teeth" a 3.5 out of 5 stars because the book is confusing. The book also has a lot of details that some of us don't understand. The Forests of Hands and Teeth gives how the character lots of emotions and what they deeply think and what they are doing in a point of view that is like our perspective through out the book. The book talks about a girl that lives in a village that was haunted. Mary's mother was pulled into a forest for the unconsecrated.

Mary lives in a town ruled by the Sisterhood and the Guardians. The village is surrounded by fences. There are only three ways through the fence. The gates that open on paths that are themselves by fencing, are those who've been infected. The other two paths lead to no where as no one knows where they lead to. Sister Tabitha says the village is the only human habitation left on Earth. Mary especially loves the ocean and believes if she could reach it, she would be free. Mary wants to get out of the village, find love, and friendship while figuring out the mystery behind the other gates and fences.

Mary is having trouble because she doesn't know how to decide on stuff to let go. Cassandra is Mary's best friend. She thinks about stuff that no one else thinks about like the forest with the hands and teeth. Her mother left and so did her father. Mary also likes the ocean because her mom used to tell her story's. Mary especially loves the waves that the ocean makes. This is significant because this shows how important her family members are especially her mom.

A review of THE DRAGON IN THE SOCK DRAWER

  A critique (So Far)- By : Blake Lin, Zheng Hao Lin, JackyLi                        THE DRAGON IN THE SOCK DRAWER 

                      The book "dragon in the sock drawer" is very non-interesting because it talks about kids hike up the mountain and found a egg, and it talks to Jesse. I rate it 1.5 stars because the book starting story doesn't pull me into the imagination. After that, they just randomly a "Thunder Egg" just appeared and it talks to them. -Blake Lin
                      I rate the book 3.5 stars because in the beginning the story kinda hooks me in the fantasy world, "It made him feel dizzy to look to look down from the mountain, which was doing a pretty good job of living up to its name." and "Besides, maybe the rock would actually weigh him down enough to keep him from blowing away." These quotes is significant because it shows how it attracts me into the fantasy world. My favorite part was the "Thunder Egg" had a connection between Jesse, it talks to him. -Zheng Hao Lin
                    I rate this book a 1 star, at least for me because it doesn't interest me and the dialogue is very very childish. And the age rating is 8-12 once again I disagree with that because let's use common sense do you really think a 12 years old would like to read a boring story and childish dialogue? But I will rate a 3.5 star for young kids to read this book because they have good imagination and the dialogue is funny for the young kids, some kids at least.

the maze runner

 Thomas and the Glades find out what the pattern is, which causes most of the Glades to decide to make a run for the exit, knowing that it could be suicidal trying to take on the Grievers, but figuring that nothing could be worse than being stuck in the Glade waiting to be hunted by the Grievers. They succeed, only to find out that they were test subjects in an experiment conducted by WICKED, which stands for "World In Catastrophe: Kill zone Experiment Department." Gall, one of the Glades who always knew something was different about Thomas and hated him for it, appears at the laboratory to which the teenagers escape. He hadn't originally escaped with them, and he is acting as though he is being controlled. He moves to throw a knife at Thomas, but Chuck, the youngest Glaser and Thomas' friend, jumps in front of him 

Thomas finally decides that the best way to solve the Maze is for him to get stung and endure the Changing in order to retrieve some of his lost memory. His plan succeeds when the Grievers invade the Glade. Thomas goes through the Changing and learns from it that the boys in the Glade have above-average intelligence and are part of an experiment to test for survival of the fittest. The Creators took them from their homes when they were young, following a catastrophic event called the Flare. Some of them have had their brains altered. The ones who survive are to be used for an unidentified but important purpose. He also learns that he and Teresa were part of the group that planned the maze

   
Echo Book Review:


Book's Rate: 4


     So far, what's going on in the book that we're reading is... chapter 3-5 is a flashback (4 years ago) of when the author (Pam Munoz Ryan) in detail explains how the main character Friedrick has been bullied in school, beaten and criticized of his appearance and behavior. But when Friedrick's father took his to the principle in complaint of what happened, the principle denied any wrong doing and as well criticized and blamed Friedrick that it is his fault the students are bulling him, and that he needs to toughen up. So that's when his father had enough and took actions to pull Friedrick out of this school and teach him; himself. Friedrick's father had him work in the factory he works in and so he does to this day.


     In the beginning of the book "Echo" by Pam Munoz Ryan; the main character Otto had been playing hid and seek with his friends out by the woods. Even though all had agreed to not go into the woods to hide, Otto had gone in to hide so well so when the other kids had given up he'd run out of the woods in joy that he'd practically won. But when he had went in, he did try to look by every once in a while to make sure he can the the light at the end of the woods to freedom. So he had settled down under a tree and taken out his book and began reading. But once he stopped... all was dark, and he couldn't see the light no longer, he had become dreadfully lost. And surprisingly saved by his books characters; 3 princesses.



     In the book, "Echo" by Pam Munoz Ryan the main character Friedrick always doubted his appearance, and never felt happy about his looks. He had always wished for "a better face" and a different look. In the book, a detail to support this statement is, " He ran his fingers through his hair, which did him no survive. It was thick , blonde, and tightly curled. He could feel it frizzing in the damp air, just like Father's. No matter how long he let it grow, it stuck out instead of down. If only he had straight hair, he could let it drape across his cheeck. But there was no hiding his blotchy birthmark. It was as if an imaginary line had been drawn down the middle of his face and neck."
(Pg. 45-46) Another quote from the story to back-up this statement is... "And on one side, his skin was like everyone else's, but on the other, a painter had dabbed shades of purple, red, and brown, turning his cheeck into a mottled plum. He knew he looked horrid. How could he blame people for staring or being frightened?" (Pg. 46)

Matched book review

Names: Kevin v. Harun k. Daniel g.  James Lo
🅱️ ook: Matched
Author: Ally Condie
Stars:✡✡✡( ͡° ͜Ê– ͡°)

    So far the book is boring, as it feels the exposition is a never ending part of the story, I feel the only compelling part of the story is the suspense "The Society" creates, as it feels that "The Society" is very mysterious and powerful, thus making it have a more powerful background story line, while the main story line is boring and uninteresting. However, the description of the characters and setting is hefty, giving the reader a great visual image of what is happening, as for me, I think the story is boring and slow due to the amount of description and the uninteresting main story line. - James Lo

 
    I agree with James, so far in the book it is boring, but i think that it will get more exciting as you read on like most books. Most books start of boring, but as you get deeper into the book they get more interesting. In my opinion the author goes way to far into detail about every little thing. It helps you imagine what everything looks like around the character, but does not describe some important things.

Maze runner book review
 (Alexander)     A group of some grown up and some teenagers were put to a mysterious place that no ones understands. Everyone lost their memories, no one understands whats going on out there. "Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to glade" the way that people welcomed others in. Mysterious maze that people could not explore in two years. Everyone is really confused, and no one knows whats going on in there. No idea of how they got there, nothing. Just confusion. Main character is named Thomas and he has lots of questions that are not answered. Maze wasn't discovered in two years. 
(someone describe the setting of the book and the dates of new supplies and newbies. Four major sections)
(Someone describe actions) (Nicholas and Johnny) The maze runner starts off with Thomas waking up in a new world one where there are killer grievers and no one has their past memory. There mission is to escape the maze and then they just go from there and so far Thomas is there best bet of escaping and the first girl to go on the maze comes. With the intensity and the thrill of the story its a 5/5 star book.
