The Fault in Our Stars

In the amazing book The Fault In Our Stars, a unique girl named Hazel Grace spends her days at home. Not like any other teenager though. She has cancer. She gets put in all these help groups that she's tired of going to. But one day, she met this boy, and she actually likes him. He asks her to a date, and then they get along. They text each other, and hang out with each other, and slowly fall in love. Augustus, the boy, soon wants to take Hazel to where the author of her favorite book is.




The genre of my book is romance and realistic fiction. I know this because in the story they show Augustus doing anything to be with Hazel. In the story it says "'Augustus,' I said. 'Really. You don't have to do this.' 'Sure I do,' he said 'I found my wish.'". He gave up his wish for Hazel, on what she wanted. I know this is a realistic  fiction book because people have cancer and go through some of the same problems Hazel does.

Mockingjay

The third book to Hunger Games. I really think the third book isn't that interesting compared to the first. They're in a new place after the second book. Gale is at least there with her.  She's not going to be alone in this. But for me its really confusing.

In Mockingjay there is an internal conflict. Katniss has this love for Peeta. She's worries about him because she doesn't know where she is after Gale saved her. Then she need to also worry about the rebellion district. Which worries her more. I feel like the theme is if you love someone, let them go. Katniss needs to worry about the rebellion.

Should they keep teaching cursive?

They should keep teaching cursive in third grade. We learned cursive, many people before us have learned cursive to. I think all this technology is bad for the kids now. Its all typing were everyone is just the same. The way people write is makes a person unique. I think cursive is way more better then print, because its way nicer. This article makes me want to write cursive more so it won't be forgotten, it may be ugly, but at least its still here.

"Lemon Brown" Blog

My reaction to Lemon Brown was that I felt bad that he had to keep moving and traveling because people wanted his treasure. This story connects to homelessness because Lemon Brown never really had a home, he kept moving. The fact that his son died in war, was pretty surprising. He lost his son, that his wife took away from him, thats sad. Greg changed throughout the story because in the beginning he was mad at his dad, but in the end, he realized his dad really cared.

Catching Fire

The ending of this book is so amazing. You would never expect something to happen, the twist is so thrilling. The fact that Katniss made allies, is another twist because she's so independent you would think she would make any. In the arena she had to save herself and her fake husband, Peeta. I need to read the next book to see what happens.

The point of view in this story is first person. I know this because Katniss is telling the story. She uses the words "Its my mockingjay". Most books I read are like this. Divergent, Hunger Games, and the series of them. I like them because it shows us what they think and how they see things.
