Compare and Contrast #2

I chose The Eyes of Minds and Seven Wonders the Tomb of Shadows. In the beginning of each book it went straight into a problem. In  The Eyes of Minds Michael tries to save this girl who wanted to commite suicide. In the Seven Wonders The Tomb of Shadows Jack finds out his mom is stuck in the bottom of a tomb inside of a pyramid. He goes inside with his friends and an alarm goes off. A speaker is counting down from 20 indicating the place is going to blow. They all made it out alive but his mother dies in the explosion. These books are different because. In The Eyes of Minds, it takes place in 2130 with all kinds of new technology and a new type of way for gamers to game. In the Seven Wonders The Tomb of Shadows, it takes place around 2016-2020. While they were fighting they were using guns to fight against soldiers. In the Eyes of Minds they use guns to fight robots. Totally different enemies but same concept of weapons.

Compare and contrast

I chose The Eyes of Minds Zebra Forest. The both books contains a major plot twist. In Zebra Forest the book is quite short so the plot twist is near the front. In The Eyes of Minds the book is quite long so the plot twist is near the end. The plot twist in Zebra Forest wasn't huge but it did change the story's plot. The plot twist in The Eyes of Minds was significant because it happens to a main character.

Seven Wonders The Tomb of Shadows

What I think about the Seven Wonders The Tomb of Shadows by Peter Lerangis  is. Why would the kids get machetes? They Recieved light body armor and a belt to hold knifes. I don't  think the machete is really nessessary for the kids. It might be hard to swing the blade and by the time they swing it at an enemy they might die. I think the knifes should helpful. It's not heavy so anyone can use it. Also the people who are attacking the island have guns. Instead of machetes they should have a vest and helmet for more protection against bullets. I also think a character might die in this attack. There might be hundreds of soliders on the island and if they get caught the soliders will alert the other soliders to kill them all. But they escaped into the forest so it might be hard for the whole group to die.

New Years Resolution

My New Years resolution for this new year is. I want to try my best in 8th grade. If I don't do good in middle school then high school will be very hard and I might not pass. I want to work on my homework and try my best. I also want to read twenty pages every day because high school is like fifty pages. My non school resolution is to get grand prestige on black ops 3. I just got to practice and keep trying until I get better.

The Worse Christmas Gift Ever Recieved

The worse Christmas gift ever I got was. It started one year ago. It was at my cousins house. I didn't ask for anything but some people still got me some sort of gift. I got a $50 gift card GameStop. I loved the gift a lot and my cousins were happy that I liked it. After the gift opening we ate and spoke. When it was like 11:45 or something we left home. I wanted to sleep but first I wanted to check if the card wasn't fake or anything. I checked the back of the card and it said something like "Expired 12/25/14" I was so mad I asked my cousins for a new one. They said sure we'll give you a new one. I sure did got a new one but it was for $5. I couldn't do anything with $5 except tip the workers, which I wasn't going to do. 

Quote

I chose this quote because when you were a kid you were forced to do what people tell you. And you hated it. You wanted to be free and do what ever you want. But once your an adult you get to choose your choices to be successful and happy. This quote related to me because, when I was younger every adult told me what to do. But once you get older you make choices to be successful and not make the choice.

Zebra Forest Tones

I enjoyed the book Zebra Forest by Adina Rishe Gewirtz because. This book contains many genres that makes this book good. It's fiction, mystery and suspense. It's fiction because in the book it talks a lot about the zebra forest. It's mystery because when Annie and Rew gets a special visit from her father that helps them captive in their own house. They're confused because he goes in their house, and doesn't hurt that them or anything. Later in the book they realize that Andrew Snow was saying things that gran use to say. Anne and Rew start to realize that Andrew Snow is their father. It's suspense because when gran gets sick Rew, Anne and Andrew are nervous when gran starts bleeding. Page 183 from Zebra Forest "Get towels," Andrew Snow said. "Quickly." Without a word. I turned and ran upstairs. Rew followed, we carried down arm loads of old bath towels. I tried to hand to Rew, so drenched he was dripping, but he barley noticed me. Andrew Snow had laid Grab on the couch in the front room. He had a dish towel in his hand, and he was gently wiping blood from her face, I stopped short when I saw that. Gran's eyes were shut tight, and a long ugly gash ran from her forehead to her cheek. Andrew snow turned and saw us, reaches for towels and quickly and wrapped Gran in them, rubbing her body to warm her. Beneath the towel he pulled away her wet things. "Get me something, a robe or nightgown," he said.
