Prompt #15
Rapture, a secret and corrupt city which’s story has intricate details of significance. For example the genetic altering substance, Adam, and the replenishing substance to access the genetic plasmids powered by Adam, Eve. This was no coincidence the creator and author of this story intended this, this was symbolism. This is why I believe that the names in this jam-packed and detailed story were chosen for specific reasons. Eleanor is the main antagonist; the meaning behind this name is “popularity, bright one, the shinning one.” This is not displayed very much throughout her part in this book, but in her childhood the description fits her. As a child she was used as a beacon of hope (the shinning one) and was “popular” among what her mother Sofia Lamb organized and called the “Rapture Family.” Growing up Eleanor was a bright child unfortunately she grew up in corruption and was influenced by it. Eleanor used her knowledge to recreate the city her mother failed to create and grow. A character named Rose, Eleanor’s “personal helper” who is subdued and manipulated by a gas that changes her thought process and emotions whose name means “kind.” Although Rose’s actions which are everything but hatred are forced because of this gas, the author uses the name to drive a point home. The point is that these citizens of Genesis who are effected by the gas are eradicated of hatred, jealousy, and any other emotion considered sinful. Evelyn the supposed daughter of Eleanor is said to be related to the name Eleanor. I would say there isn’t much to this name besides that this name being connected to Eleanor is expressed to foreshadow that Evelyn is the clone of Eleanor’s past self as a pure “little sister.”

For this blog, I have chosen four characters. Their names are Benny, Violet, Jessie, and Henry. I have chosen four delightful movies for them. For Benny, I have a great movie for him, it is called “Moana”. Benny has a creative and adventurous mind. In Moana, they go on an epic adventure a cross the vast ocean. Benny love adventure in the book, that is why I taught he would live Moana. Violet is a little different then Benny. She is a young spirited child that loves to help other, also love mysteries and magic. The movie I chosen for her is “Beauty and The Beast.” In this movie, there is magic, love, kindness, danger, and compaction. That is why I taught this would be a great movie for Violet. Next is Jessie. Jessie is a mature, smart, and loving young lady. The movie I chose for her is “Rio.” Rio is about two birds that want to levee Rio, but for two different rezones. One of them wants to go to the jungle, but the other wants to go back to Mindi soda. They had to out run and out smart people that wanted them. That is way I think she would like it. Henry is a strong, smart, loving, and would do anything for his family. The for is called “Kung Fu Panda.” Kung Fu Panda is about a panda that finds his father, but a water buffalo was trying to still their chi. He defeats him and saved his family.

Superheroes are people who others admire for doing great acts of kindness or doing the impossible. Frank Ruppert Jr., one of the main characters in Pinstripe Empire, would think that Theo Epstein and George Steinbrenner were superheroes. Frank Ruppert Jr. was the Yankees owner and was determined to rebuild the New York Yankees in the early 1900s. This was during the teams first twenty years in existence as an expansion team to the new upstart American League. Few general managers have rebuilt teams from the ground up. Theo Epstein is one of the few general managers to do so. In his short career, he has already broken the two longest championship droughts. Epstein also has broken the two most famous curses in all of sports. The first was the curse of the bambino. The Red Sox had an eighty-six year championship drought until he snapped it in 2004. The other curse was just broken this year. Epstein also broke the curse of the billy goat. This curse belonged to the Cubs who had a one-hundred-and-eight year championship drought. He accomplished these feats because he was driven. Ruppert would look up to him as a hero because his drive made the impossible happen. Theo Epstein is arguably the greatest general manager of all time. Another superhero that Ruppert would look up to is George Steinbrenner. The late owner of the Yankees created a dynasty. The Yankees now have the most championships in baseball due to Steinbrenner’s fearlessness. His goal was to win the World Series, and he would spend as much money as it took to get the best player in free agency. He is responsible for seven of the Yankees twenty-seven championships. He is the face of the Yankees and a model for all sports owners. Steinbrenner had a fearless attitude and did not care what others thought about him. Ruppert would love to be fearless because when others doubted his opinion he would not have cared.

A superhero could be anyone. A normal person to someone could be the greatest superhero to ever live in their eyes. In I Survived the Attacks of 9/11 Lucas viewed his uncle Benny as a superhero. At first he was not very interesting but over time Benny influenced young Lucas to love the things he loved. Uncle Benny’s love of football was shared with Lucas regularly. When Lucas was first starting to like football Uncle Benny was there to teach him about football. When Lucas wanted to play Uncle Benny was there to support him. When Lucas wanted something or was uneasy Uncle Benny was always there. Lucas’s father was a firefighter. One day he was injured very badly in a fire. When he was in the hospital Uncle Benny was there for Lucas and his mother. Another superhero Lucas would like would be Spider-man. He would like Spider-man because Spider-man is always there for the people. He always comes at times of need for people that need saving. Lucas needed saving when he went to Manhattan when he shouldn’t have. When Uncle Benny was there for Lucas he was being like Spider-man. Another reason Spider-man would be a superhero Lucas would look up to is because Peter Parker (Spider-man) was a kid like him, he too needs help from other people weather wearing the suit or not. Some traits a superhero has and Lucas would want would be super strength because then he would be able to win all the time in his football games. Also because then he would have the strength not to get hurt playing football and avoid never having to stop playing.

Prompt 7
Ozzy Osbourne is a rather unique musician compared to some of the musicians that are around today. Ozzy Osbourne is most known for being the lead singer in the band Black Sabbath. Growing up, Ozzy and his band mates enjoyed horror movies. The name “Black Sabbath” actually came from a horror film that the bass player (Geezer Butler), showed Ozzy. So for one of the movie I would recommend to Ozzy Osbourne is Split. The movie Split is about a man who has twenty-three personalities. In Ozzy’s book he says that he is very interested in the human nature. Well this movie might peek his interests because of the way the main character acts. Another movie I would recommend is The Secret Life of Pets. This movie is about what domesticated animals live when there owners aren’t around. I would recommend this movie because Ozzy also said in his book that he loves animals and regrets causing them harm in the pass. In fact, Ozzy Osbourne had seventeen dogs at one point. Another movie I think Ozzy would love is Finding Dory. Finding Dory is about a little fishy who tends to forget a lot and she all of a sudden remembers her family. So she travels all over the sea to find her parents. Which she does in the end. The reason why I think he would like this movie is only because he has ADHD and Dyslexia. I feel like he could relate to Dory because she also has some brain issues. these are some of the movies that i think Ozzy Osbourne would enjoy.

This interview will be about Gunner the horse. I am going to be asking questions about this story. “Why did you hate Gunner?” Heather said “Because he is a no good trouble making horse.” “I think it is just sad to say that because he is just a baby and you don't know what he is capable of” I said. “So why were you so mad at E.W for buying gunner for you.” “Because I absolutely did not like that horse” Heather said.” When you started to kind of be OK with gunner and try to love him how did it all feel” It felt hard to try and like this horse because of how strong I disliked him” Heather answered. “Do you regret being so rude and so hateful about this horse?” I said. Heather said “A little bit because I started to like him a little more the older he got.” “Were you upset about the back injury your dad had, and that he can’t ride anymore? “ Yes I was upset about what happened to my dad, but I am still not afraid to get on a horse and ride” Heather said. “When it was your birthday were you expecting a big gift and not Gunner? Heather said “I wasn’t expecting anything at all, and wasn’t expecting a horse.” That was the last question I had to ask Heather, she was very polite in answering all of my questions. I thanked her for sitting down and speaking with me.

Douglas MacArthur is the General who led America through the Philippines during World War II. Through this expedition, it allowed him to open up a pathway through Asia in order to drop the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. With his knowledge, he is bound to have read some knowledgeable books in his wartime. He would want to read the book called The Art of War by Sun Tzu. He would read this book because it would provide him knowledge on how to conduct war and basic principles of being a general. Out of this book, I would hope that it would show him how to better run his army. He already runs his army spectacularly and it probably doesn't need help to improve it, but there is always room to improve it. Another book that he should read is the Tom Clancy's book series. He would read this book because it would enhance his combat capabilities on the battlefield. Another book that Douglas MacArthur would read is American Sniper. He would read this book because it shows how war can truly impact you and the people around you. With this book, he would also learn about how the impact that you make on this world truly means a great amount. Another book that he would read is In the Heart of the Sea. He would read this book in order to see what struggles these men went through in order to survive. The last book that Douglas MacArthur would read is Unbroken.

I know of a few books that Joe Stoshack would enjoy reading. Joe is a child that loves the game of baseball and has the ability to travel through time with a baseball card. Joe plays baseball on his baseball team from Louisville. His coach is Flip Valentini and he is very close to Joe. He is one of the few people that know about Joe’s special ability. One book that I think Joe would enjoy is The Big Field. It is about a kid who is fighting for a position at shortstop, and his dad is giving tips to his competitor. I think Joe would like this book because it is about another kid who plays baseball and has to fight for his position. Joe might have gone through the same thing, maybe he had to fight for a position on his team. Joe is a good baseball player and this other kid was too. Another book that Joe would like is Jinked. It is a fictional baseball book that is based on a kid getting a job as a batboy during is summer break. Another kid in his class has the same job for the same team and doesn't even like baseball. Chad is the characters name in the story, and Dillon is the other kid. Joe would like this book because it is based on baseball and is very entertaining. I think Joe would like to read Honus and Me. It is a book with Joe in it. I think if he read it it would bring him back to the days that he figured out he had the power to travel through time and how much he has changed. He has changed as a baseball player and what his purposes are when he travels through time. Joe would like to read Plunked. It is also about a kid in sixth grade fighting for shortstop. He is competing against a girl for the position. I think Joe would like it because it is interesting to see who ends up at shortstop. One more book Joe would like to read is Squeeze Play. A kid is in a hitting slump and is being teased by another girl. His dad also embarrasses him at all of his games. It is also written by Cal Ripken Jr., who is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. These are a few books I would recommend that Joe read to see other baseball stories. I think that he would be excited to read all these books.

There are many people that Larry Fitzgerald. One super iconic person Larry would look up to is the all time great Jerry Rice. He used to play for the 49s and he is the all time leader in receptions and receiving yards by a long shot. He also won a hard faught three super bowl championships. The main reason I think that larry Fitzgerald would look up to him is because he was a fantastic wide receiver that was humble and never talked trash to his opponents and any other people. The second person that I think Larry Fitzgerald would look up to is Eli Manning. I think this because Eli Manning was a great player and because he was even a better plyer off the field. He has done some amazing work with charitys and foster kids. Him and Larry Fitzgerald have both recently won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which highlights people in the NFL who do good deeds for charities and what not. The last player that I think Larry Fitzgerald would look up to is the Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner. The reason that I selected this player is because he was the quarterback to Larry Fitzgerald. Kurt led Larry and the Arizona cardinals to a super bowl, where they tragically lost due to a bad call from the ref. I selected all of these players because they have showed Larry the way to his amazing career.

Some songs I would pick for Brian would be I Will Survive. This would be a good song because the whole story is about how Brian gets in a plane crash and if he will survive are not. The song is also really familiar because it says I was scared and I grew stronger. Another good song would be Stayin' Alive by bee gees because when you’re in the wilderness staying alive is your main concern. Third would be stronger by Kelly Clarkson. I think this is a good song for Brian because a verse in the song says what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I think that is a nice quote for Brian to remember. Another would be Don’t Stop Believin by Journey. This is a good pick because you have to never give up and never stop believing. Eye of the tiger would be a great pick for Brian because the song says fight to survive which is the theme of this book. Also any song from Eddie Vedders album “Into the Wild” because it’s about survival. Some examples of some name in the album are Long Nights, the Wolf, Hard Sun which can all relate to survival in some sort of way. Brain would love to be listening to these songs right now. These songs would all be a good choice for the book hatchet because there are lines in the songs that relate to the book.

An award that I would choose to give Old Yeller would be for being the bravest dog in the whole wide world. He really deserves this award because in one part of the book his stomach got cut open when the stinky, fat hogs bit him. He wasn’t whimpering or howling when Travis had to stitch it up. Old Yeller was also a really good guard dog. He showed a lot of bravery in the book because he wasn’t scared of the black bear in the forest or the bull that was chasing Travis’ mom. An award that Travis should receive is the greatest owner of the year. I think he should get this award because in the book he showed a lot of love toward Old Yeller. One example is when he stitched up Old Yeller’s bloody, gory stomach cut. Another example is when Old Yeller protected Travis from the bear by scaring him away and Travis loved him so much for saving his little brother. When Travis found Old Yeller wandering around, he showed him so much love and decided to keep him. Travis’ mom should get an award for best caring mom because she cooked for Travis and his little brother throughout the book. His mom even let them keep Old Yeller when Travis brought him home because she saw how sad Old Yeller was and that Travis loved him and his little brother did too.

ReplyDeleteAmerican Sniper by Chris Kyle
Page 216
Blog #7 Prompt 9
American Sniper is a book and movie filled with action and military tactics. I'd recommend any war movie for everyone to see, but since Chris Kyle was an actual U.S Seal, I would recommend similar movies that relate what happened to him. The three movies I would have recommend for Chris Kyle to see is Lone Survivor, featuring Marcus Lutrell as the main character, Hacksaw Ridge which is about Desmond Doss who managed to save seventy -five to 100 people from battle as a medic, and 13 Hours. Lone Survivor would have been great for Kyle to see because it was about Marcus Lutrell who actually went through Basic Underwater Demolition and Scuba (B.U.D.S) with him. In his book Kyle even advised to read Lutrell's story too. Lutrell and Kyle had similar tasks because they were Marines/Seals. The story is about Lutrell's survival and how he fought no matter what, just like Kyle would and did. The story of Hacksaw Ridge and Desmond Doss is very different yet similar to Chris Kyle's story. Although Desmond Doss was not for violence at all. He never carried a gun in battle. Kyle was more about killing anyone who was a threat to his brothers and his country. However, both men were influenced to join the military because of a family relative also serving. For Doss it was his brother and for Kyle his dad. Hacksaw Ridge was a great movie about the hardships and struggles of war. 13 Hours was a story about war in Benghazi against terrorists on September 11. Many countries were too scared to go to Benghazi for the fear of militias would ambush them. However the six man crew in Benghazi were not too afraid to fight the terrorists. Each movie was a great War movie and I would have recommended them to Chris Kyle.

The main theme for this book was sadness. Because Justin’s father was in the armed forces, Kyle followed in his father’s footsteps. Justin, finding out that Kyle was going to be in the war made him sad because that meant that he was moving away. After a couple of months Kyle flew to Afghanistan. Months past and Justin and his parents missed Kyle so they FaceTime him. They learned that Kyle got a new rescue dog to help him in the war. Kyle introduced Max, his new dog, to his family. A couple of weeks later, Kyle died. Justin had very mixed emotions. He was mad because he felt that his dad was to blame for sending Kyle to war. He was also sad as he knew he would never see his brother again. One day Justin was fighting with his dad when his mother received a call from the local army district office where they train the dogs to serve their army masters. The head trainer said that Kyle’s dog, Max, was going to be put down because he bit his new owner. It seemed that Max was as sad as Justin was. Justin’s mother and father were not in agreement about going to pick Max up as Justin’s father felt that a sad, and emotionally damaged dog would not be a good fit in their family. However, Justin’s mom won by convincing the family that Max was the only reminder that she would have of her cherished son.

Tris would have definitely related to the superheroes Black Widow, Captain America, and Black Panther. She could be Black Widow because Black Widow uses guns and rarely misses just as Tris rarely misses shot. Another reason is that Black Widow is hard to detect and it was hard for Dauntless to capture Tris when they went to shut down the device that controlled everyone. Also Black Widow is good at everything she does and so is Tris. Tris is in charge of leading all these people so she must be doing things right. I think Tris can also relate to Captain America because she is a good leader like he is. She is a lot like Captain America because he too has a brother that isn’t exactly on the same side. Tris’s brother was not with her when she told him that Dauntless and Erudite were working together so they were not always on her side or agreed with what she had to say. She could also be like Captain America because she is brave and has a lot of heart. Another superhero that Tris can relate to is Black Panther because she’s athletic and they wear the same colored clothes. Tris and Black Panther also both have very unique fighting skills. Tris can be all of these superheroes because she is athletic, smart, a good fighter and she rarely misses a target. That is exactly how all three of these characters are combined.

In my opinion girls should just be kind to one another. I don’t understand why some girls think they are all that I just don’t get it. I think it’s completely disrespectful to gossip about someone or just make fun of them it’s just flat out mean. Girls in this generation don’t understand that you could hurt girl’s feelings when they reach out to you and say hi you just ignore them. In my school there are a ton of those girls and I just try to stay away and hang out with people who care about me. My middle school experience hasn’t been the best girls blaming me for things I didn’t do, gossiping behind each other’s back. I don’t understand when girls who thought were your friends completely just are flat out mean. I hope next year’s different with high school and all hopefully I can leave the friends who are completely mean and grow the relationships with the friends that are with me and care about me. Anyways back to middle school it hasn’t been the best two years my middle school experience has been completely difficult but in the end all of the tears and breakdowns have made me stronger if anything. There’s nothing worse than have people talk about you behind you back unfortunately I have had expirence in that area. In the end middle school was as hard as it could have been but I wouldn’t have changed a thing because it made me stronger.

Tris would have definitely related to the superheroes Black Widow, Captain America, and Black Panther. She could be Black Widow because Black Widow uses guns and rarely misses just as Tris rarely misses shot. Another reason is that Black Widow is hard to detect and it was hard for Dauntless to capture Tris when they went to shut down the device that controlled everyone. Also Black Widow is good at everything she does and so is Tris. Tris is in charge of leading all these people so she must be doing things right. I think Tris can also relate to Captain America because she is a good leader like he is. She is a lot like Captain America because he too has a brother that isn’t exactly on the same side. Tris’s brother was not with her when she told him that Dauntless and Erudite were working together so they were not always on her side or agreed with what she had to say. She could also be like Captain America because she is brave and has a lot of heart. Another superhero that Tris can relate to is Black Panther because she’s athletic and they wear the same colored clothes. Tris and Black Panther also both have very unique fighting skills.

The main characters in this novel are Cassie, and Mitchell. Cassie is an independent strong girl who never gives up and always finds a way to make it through the hard times in all of the waves. Mitchell is a boy that used to date Cassie and was kind of awkward but was always there to help Cassie before the nightmare started. Some places where I think that they will be happy at is at the Caribbean and some nice spot on the beach just to chill out and don't worry about aliens or anything like that. I believe that this would be the best spot for Cassie because she just needs to learn how to chill out and not be so tense. I believe that Mitchell would be very happy at a ski vacation with his family and not with any of his friends (assuming he had any) he wouldn't be with his friends because he is a very ahead person.he would love to just hang out with his mom and dad and just chill in the mountains.these places I picked are because of how the characters are always tense about the aliens they don't have time to chill or hang out.
