          In the book or movie hunger games, there was a character named katnis. She and pita from the same district had experienced the hunger games. They are from district twelve and had been the two tributes that participated in this game. It was a tragic game and they knew there was only one winner. But this some rules were broken and changed. This happens at different times in the years it is called the day of the reaping.

          The hunger games, has shown a number of people dying and living in a nightmare. They have suffered so much trying to eat, get warm in the fire, and save themselves, but many of them die off. I wonder who and why they have to make all the districts go to this game. I want to read more of the hunger games series they are very interesting and unpredictable.

                   Romeo and Juliet: themes

          In this book I found many different themes, the one I wanted to write about was forgiveness and pride. I want to write about these themes because these were sort of hidden but it was definitely there.

          Where I found forgiveness was in tybalt’s eyes when he had murdered mercutio. I saw that he knew he won, but when he looked at his bloody sword, he was sorry. He didn’t want mercutio to die but also he didn’t want to seem like a loser and try to help him. This is the place where pride also hurt their family.

          A place where pride took place was when the Capulet’s had a party, and tybalt says tis he that villain Romeo. It looked like Capulet was trying to hide his anger so he wouldn’t look bad in front of his men. While that hurt tybalt’s feelings.

          These two themes have taken part in this play but I found it to be rather hidden than present. I thought it was interesting that Shakespeare does this. Also I wanted to find out who else felt the same way.

A great book!!

Blogpost: Out of my mind by Sharon m. draper

            In this book, the main character is melody. She is has a disability, this disability affects the way she talks a, walks and more. She is always in a wheel chair and needs special assistance. She is in fifth grade, and she is a very smart girl. The disability she has is called cerbal palsy. She cannot write or type with her fingers she uses just her thumbs to type. She has only this board that she points to; this is her way of communication. In school she is a outcast. Melody is a sweet young girl that just wants to learn. People usually make fun of her and the way she is. I think she is a very strong girl to be able to take all those things her classmates say and not care.  

             Later, melody is changed into a normal classroom with normal kids. In one of the classes she joined a math whiz contest and passed. People think it was unfair for her to be on their team. Her team was supposed to be going to Washington dc for the final contest, there she feels really bad. She gets ready and on time for the contest, when they reach the airport she finds out the entire team caught the early airplane and left her behind. This is when she feels like she isn’t wanted. After that she hadn’t gone to school for a day or two, but when she did the class had apologized and made her feel like she was part of the class again.

Blog post: Romeo & Juliet scene 3.1

          In this scene Romeo and Mercutio, come in contact with Tybalt and his crew. This scene was very sad and almost like everyday life. This is the death scene where Tybalt and Mercutio fight. At first it was a normal fencing fight which takes a turn into death. But Tybalt did not intend to hurt Mercutio at all. Tybalt felt the sorrow but still didn’t stop to help Mercutio. This was just supposed to be a normal fight, but took the death of two.

          What really began the fight was the crowd. When Mercutio and Tybalt were verbally fighting, the crowd is what had raised their anger. It’s like they didn’t want to seem like a wimp in front of the crowd. Whenever there is a fight the energy that keeps the fighters going is the crowd. I feel like without the crowd energy it wouldn’t really have been a death fight at all. In this scene I felt sorry for Mercutio because he actually never deserved to die. They were just fencing

Blog: Romeo and Juliet

            In act5, the book gets kind of interesting. I wonder how their marriage and relationship was, because they got married after one day of seeing each other. It was kind of like they never really got to meet eachother. My thoughts about reading and learning about Romeo &Juliet before was that it was boring. I also thought it was going to be cheesy romance story. But after I found out it was actually a sweet and cute story, which unfortunately ended quick.

            My favorite part was act 5, it was the main action. You could tell who were really on Romeo and Juliet’s side. Is part was unbelievable; I couldn’t believe that Juliet could care more about a boy she met for one day at a party rather than her parents. Also when Romeo found out that Juliet was “dead”, I couldn’t believe he would kill himself for her too. I mean they only met each other in one day.
