Prompt 9
The character I’ve chosen is Jane Penderwick, the third daughter of the four Penderwick sisters. The three movies I would recommend for Jane to see are as follows. First, I would suggest the movie Spy Kids because this movie was full of mystery and drama. Spy Kids was all about a brother and sister who found out that their parents were really spies, and they end up getting involved with the spy work themselves. I think Jane would really enjoy this movie because she loves mystery and adventure. Jane wants to be a writer, and her books always include lots of action. The character she created for her book is Sabrina Starr, and Jane is always looking for a way to make Sabrina a heroine. The next movie I would recommend for Jane to see is Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. This movie is exploding with imagination and excitement. Percy discovers he is the son of Poseidon, and he, along with his brother who just happens to be a cyclops, conquers all kinds of monsters to settle a battle between the gods. Jane would love this movie because of the very creative scenery and imagination used in making the characters so believable. She certainly would get a lot of ideas for her stories from this movie. Lastly, I would choose for Jane to see Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. This story revolves around a teenage boy named Sean whose grandfather is missing, and he believes he knows where his grandfather could be, an island that is not on the map. He travels with his stepfather in search of this island, and they run into much danger along the way. This movie will really get Jane’s attention because of the constant action playing in this movie and that the main character is a teenage boy who was clever enough to figure out the puzzle of where his grandfather was.

For this blog I am going to write the theme of the book. I readed the first Percy Jackson book and it was about adventure and mystery. I believe this book will be the same. In the beginning of this book Percy Jackson was attacked by monsters. The monsters attacked him during gym class and hid their true appearance by using mist. Then Percy meets an old friend. Annabeth finds him with his friend Tyson. They all go to Camp Half Blood they find the Camp under attack by metalic bulls. They had to fight the bull out of the camp. That shows that there is some adventure in the book. Now, to the mystery part of the book. While at camp Percy find out that Tyson is infact his brother and that Tyson is a cyclops. In the stories cyclopes many came form Pesidon and a nature spirit. Percy had a dream about Grover. I his dream Grover is in danger on an island where he doesn’t know where he is. Except that it is in the sea of monsters. He is trapped by a nother cyclopes. And that Chiron has been fired by the gods because the pine tree that holds the vile is dying. No one knows why the pine tree is dying but they have a suspicion. In the last book Kronos, the lord of the titains used a half blood to almost start a war between the gods. Percy thinks it is kronos’s fault for the tree. All of this prove that there is some mystery to the book. This is only the beginnig of the book.

‘Mattie, how did you get into a reform school?”
“I got into a reform school by stealing a train.”
“Why did you steal the train?”
“I was trying to impress my brother, Carter, so he would stop calling me girls’ names like Madeline or Matilda. My brother likes to bully me.”
“Did they arrest you for stealing the train?”
“No, I wasn’t arrested because of my age, but the police let me go with my parents with a warning that they never wanted to see me at the police station again.”
“So how did you end up in reform school at Munchem Academy?”
“My parents put me there with my brother, Carter, to straighten us out.”
“Is Munchem Academy a fun place to live?”

“Oh, it’s okay. I don’t miss them.”
“Who is in charge there?”
“Headmaster Rooney. And he’s a very bad man.”
“Why is he so bad?”
“Well, one of the reasons he’s so bad is because he likes stringing students up by their ankles until their little tiny faces look like swollen purple grapes.”
“Wow, he sounds awful. Have you made any friends there yet?”
“Not really friends. They’re more like roommates.”
“What are their names?”
“I live in Room 14A with Bell, Kent, Eliot, and Doyle. They’re all in here for getting into trouble too. They just call me the New Kid.”
“Do you know how long you’re going to be there for?”

Catniss is in a district where you are elected to go and participate in the Hunger Games. She is a very brave woman and there are a few people she would like to meet. One person she would like to meet is Louie Zamperini. Louie fought in World War II and was stranded on our raft for a long time. He was taken into a concentration camp held by the Japanese, he was beaten, starved, and humiliated there.Louie stayed strong and soon returned to his home, where he later found God and did many great things for others. I think that Catniss would be motivated by him and learned to never give up no matter what situation she is in. Another person I think Catniss would like to meet is Jackie Robinson. He was the first African-American baseball player to ever play professionally. Pitchers would throw at his head and yell all sorts of terrible things to him. Jackie went through a lot in his life. He always would just let it go and get through it, she will have to go through a lot throughout the hunger games as well. Jackie would be a great example for Catniss. Another person Catniss would like to me is Beniel Dariush. He is a UFC fighter that goes to the same church as me. I took a few fighting lessons with him and he is a great teacher and a great person. Catniss will be able to look up to him as a good example for what she has to accomplish in the hunger games. Those are a few people that I think Catniss would like to me and would set a good example for her when she is in the hunger games.

Dear Greg Heffley,
My name is Jessica Ramirez. I know you are not the most popular kid at your school but, I do know that, you are not the most unpopular kid in school. I think you you shouldn’t worry about that stuff. When your older brother is bothering you or annoying you it is best for you just to ignore him because he wants you to get annoyed and if you start ignoring him he will soon start to stop. Another thing I noticed is you like to play video games all the time. Video games are not good for you, they are not good for your brain. When your dad tells you to stop playing your video games and go play outside you should do it because being active and getting fit is good for you. PS: I know you like to hang out with girls and be around them, trust me getting fit will help you to get closer to them. I understand that when your friend gets girls and you don’t it makes you upset. Yet, you should not be jealous of Rowley but, be happy for him. Not talking to him is really immature for a middle school kid to do you should probably go and apologize for what you did and ask if you two can still be friends. I know losing your best friend to a girls or anyone is hard but, you always have to work things out. I hope you get this letter and really soke this into your brain and figure out how you can take whatever I said and apply it.
Sincerely,
Jessica

Dear Greg Heffley,
My name is Kaitlyn Brown.I have noticed that you just lost your best friend Rowley because he has ditched you. I know it’s really hard to find new friends. Sometimes you just have to look at people in your classes on who is sitting next to you. Try talking to Rowley and say you are getting left out with his other friends and he says, “ok” and things turn around than great! But if things don’t work out there is always another way. Another piece of advice is whatever you do don’t go to the FIND A FRIEND STATION!! That place is just fake. I insist that you stay with your other weird friend, Fregley. Maybe he isn’t cool or really weird you can change him into Rowley. If there is kids who are trying to act cool but they are not but they are bieng mean to you you don’t just run away or stand there and wait till you get punched or tackled, you have to take matters in your own hands and work things out or become friends to. I know it can be hard to make new friends but try not to be jealous of Rowley you should be happy for him that he has made new friends cause that is what middle school is about meeting new friends.So I hope you get this letter and don’t just read it you have to live it.

In the book I survived hurricane Katrina, 2005 there was a theme of bravery. An eleven-year-old boy named Barry his mom, dad, and little sister Cleo all showed bravery. Their family was hearing about the hurricane on the news for a couple of days but they were not paying much attention to the news reporter. Then they got news that the hurricane was going to be very big so the started packing up and soon they were on the road. There was so much traffic that it took an hour to move even a couple of feet. Cleo said that she was not feeling good and a couple of minutes later she was throwing up and kept throwing up so they drove home. They found out that it was a virus going around. They tried going to the baseball field but it was already filled. So they just gave up and a couple of hours later the hurricane hit and it was bad. They headed up stairs and to the attic but the water was already reaching them so Barry’s dad found a axe and busted through the roof. Then Barry slipped off the roof and fell into the water after getting pulled down the water he hit a tree and grabbed it as hard as he can and saw a house a little bit in front of him. He was thinking to stay there but he heard barking from the house in front of him so he went for it got in the house and found out that it was Abe’s dog. They all showed a lot of bravery during this hard time.

Dear Quentin,
You seem to have a problem with solving issues calmly. You tend to stress out do dumb things when you are faced with a problem. For example you flipped out when you and Margot snuck into sea world instead of staying calm. Another example is when you always stressed out when looking for Margot and it made everyone else scared too. Some ways to remain calm when you get worked up over stressful situations are to take deep breathes, walk away to re-gather yourself and re access the situation. To be calm in hard situations I take walks to think, I also listen to soothing music. Another good idea is to talk to your friends about what you are going through and don’t keep it a secret because that will stress you out even more. There are places I like to go to distress, one place is the beach because I love the ocean and it is very soothing. Also at the beach you don’t have to worry about anything and you forget about your issues. I would also recommend hanging out with your friends to have fun so you forget about your worries. Another thing I would recommend is to watch the sunset and listen to music. I hope some of these suggestions will help you solve problems you face more rationally and calmly and apply them to your everyday life. Let me know as soon as possible how it all works out for you.
Sincerely,

Dear Julie Redding,
I know what you did to Nolan Hotchkiss and you don't need to be worried I will keep quiet, but I don't see your act severely punishable. As I said I won't say anything, but I do believe you need to before someone beats you to the punch. Believe me this will be a blow to you and the rest of the girls. Doubt I know what going on I can name the other girls. Parker Duvall, Caitlin Martwell~Lewis, Ava Jalali, and Mackenzie Wright. You girls got Nolan to pass out and wrote on his face the characteristics you believed suited him. I know why you are afraid to tell the police fearing the repercussions, but I believe someone is out to get you and you could look like a bigger suspect as the murderer if the news was to get out before you had the chance to come clean. I can't tell you who this anonymous person is as I have a few leads in my private investigation. As for who I am you don't need to know, only that I write this to you to help you. This person aims to make you girls look bad whether you did anything or not and they will go to any extent to frame you and make it look like you girls did it. You would be sorely mistaken if you believed this investigation might go cold after awhile too. Nolan Hotchkiss is the Mayor's son and the son of a respected lawyer as I'm sure you know. So don't be foolish you need to tell the police before any of this could be distorted more or get more dangerouse. Please head my warning.

Greg is a clumsy and extremely impatient but he would probably want to see the movie Wonder Woman. I think he should watch this beacause he would probably like watching a woman do all the work beacause he is so lazy. When the movie came out I watched it. But the story goes a little like this, in an area that has been covered with a veil a young girl, the only child on the island was watching her aunt practice training her army. While she was watching she did the same moves. When she was older she saw a plain crash into the ocean after she had dove into the ocean and saved the pilot from drowning. Another show Greg should watch is the flash. He should watch this beacause Barry is much faster than him. Greg probably won’t have any idea about getting to be the fastest person alive. A summery of the story is a nerd gets struck by lightning and developed a sudden rush and he realizes that he has supernatural powers. Another movie he should watch is titanic beacause he always says he is not whimpy but he will cry with this movie. In the beginning a woman found a man named Jack who was a great artist she was asking him to draw a picture of her but she was not wearing any clothes. After that she was on the titanic with jack when it started to sink. When it sank they jumped off and fell into the cold fridged water. She and jack were sitting on a door in the middle of the ocean eventually they had both gotten hypothermia. They waited but she noticed a search party was coming but jack had died. The search party didn’t see her so she saw a whistle on an old man that has died and she blew the whistle as hard as she could and she was saved from dying.

In Rodrick Rules I think that the theme would be trouble or problems. Greg can not get away from all of his problems. One of his problems that I find funny is money because he is always looking for money and I can relate to that. He also has to deal with his brother always punking on him and trying to steal all of his things. One of his main problems is trying to make new friends and being social with everyone at his school. I kinda like his problems because I can relate with them on a certain level. Also another problem of his is that he is on the water team and his practices are in the morning and just like me Greg is not a morning person. But also Greg is not the most athletic person, sports really aren't his thing. Greg also has some parent issues. Sometimes his mom makes him do things that he doesn't want to do. Like go to Rowleys birthday party at the mall. He did not want to go because he is already embarrassed that he is his friend but he doesn't want to be mean and not be his friend.

Another reason why I think he would like paradise is that he doesn’t have to get in trouble a lot, because there will not be as many people around . When he makes a joke and somebody takes it personally they won’t get mad at him. He would probably also love that his family is there with him on his vacation . I think that Julian wouldn’t have nightmares anymore of August.He could ride his bike and discover new things on the island. He could also go to the beach and lay in a hamic. He could feel the water on his feet, and he can see the palm trees sway. He could ride his bike back home and show his mom this seashells he collected. He can go in his room and watch Star Wars and play with his lightsaber. His parents would take him to dinner and have the best dessert.They would walk around and look at some stores before they went back to the hotel.

I think my character, Stanley would like to think of Mr. Pendanski as a superhero. I think Stanley would think of Mr. Pendanski as one because he is always looking out for Stanley, being kind to him, and not being as rough as Mr. Sir was being. I also think Stanley would pick Mr. Sir as a hero because Mr. Sir is there to help Stanley not be a thief, (even though he says he didn’t steal anything and that the sneakers just fell out of the air but again he was under the freeway). The last person I think Stanley would like to think of as a hero is his dad because his dad is an inventor who is trying to make an invention for his family because they are poor. The invention is recyclable sneakers. I also think Stanley thinks of his dad as a hero because his motto is “I learn from failure”. The characteristics I think Stanley would want to keep for himself out of his three heroes are from Mr. Pendanski is to be kind to everyone even if you’re in a bad mood, from Mr. Sir is to stay positive all the time and try to help others when people don’t ask you to, and from his dad learn from failure and never give up and stay positive.

Dear Amy,
Boy do I need to talk to you. I heard what happened over the weekend with you and you friend Rick. My advice to you is don't go kissing your childhood friends. The funniest part of the story is that you thought you were kissing Chris Shepard and not Rick. Pour you, you might have just ruined one of the best friendships you have ever had. Next time don't just run out of the car and slam the door on him. Maybe if you decided to talk to him in a meaningful manner then he wouldn't have drove off in such a rage. Say something like, "Rick don't get me wrong but I like you in a different type of way. More of a friends kind of way, not a boyfriend girlfriend kind of way." Saying something like that would have let him down easy rather than just storm out of his car and not say anything. Rick is very sensitive and if you ask me he will probably forgive you. In order for him to forgive you you will have to make it up to him. Her are some examples; you can bring him food or just apologize. If it were up to me, I would go the cheap rout and just apologize. It never hurt anyone to just talk it out. And maybe next time pat a bit more attention when you are in someone's car. That's all I have for you this time.
Sincerely,
Ileanna

Greg Hefley got stuck in a situation with his brothers and parents. Gregg’s mom told them they were going on a road trip to Disneyland, but Manny, Greggs little brother, started crying so they decided to go somewhere else. Greg had a bag of cheese puffs in the car and they got stuck in traffic. A pigeon came and Greg threw a cheese puff out the window and the pigeon caught it, but the pigeon wanted more. Greg was about to throw another one and Greggs mom said don’t throw it, so the pigeon got really angry and snatched the bag of cheese puffs right out of his hands through the sun roof. As the sun roof was closing, Greg’s brother Roderick threw gum out but it hit the sun roof and stopped it from closing. So now there was a hole group of seagulls that came in through the open sun roof, scratched everybody and ate there food. Once the food was gone, the seagulls flew away. As they continued to drive, their car broke down, luckily their was a hotel right next to them, so they dropped the car off at a mechanic to get it repaired. As their car was being fixed, they went to a water park next to the hotel. Greg’s mom did not want to go to the water park, but she changed her mind and went any way and had a good time. While at the water park, they put all their stuff in little lockers, they placed their key on a chair where they were sitting. Another family took their chair when they got up and took the key to the locker. The family then stole all of their stuff from the lockers.

I think that Rick Grimes would want to visit one of the many beautiful, luxurious, and tropical islands of Hawaii. Considering the deathly, horrible, and devastating apocalypse that is happening around him and all the death Rick and his family have had to see, I think Rick and his family deserve a vacation. They would like the tropical islands Hawaii because since they are on an island Rick’s family wouldn’t really have to worry about too many walkers roaming around everywhere like how there is in Georgia. Because of this factor all of the conveniences of the tropical island would easily be available and accessible to them for free or cheap and they could have a nice relaxing time there. Especially after Hershel’s daughters being murdered by Thomas, Tyrese’s almost death, and Dexter and Andrew’s attempt at forcing them out of the prison, Rick and his family deserve time away. I think that Rick would like ziplining because it would be fun to try and kick zombies while going down. If Tyrese and Glenn came with Rick’s family to one of the many tropical islands of hawaii they would probably like or have fun doing this too. I think Rick’s wife Lori would really like the spa because she liked being able to wash her clothes and take showers when the group arrived at their current home the prison. I think Carl would really like the beach because he usually plays with the other kids and would probably like to do that on the beach on a tropical island in beautiful Hawaii.

In the story, the most- smartest would be Bruce. Because he thinks many ideas and offers a lot, he also shows kindness to Red Rover, he never thinks about giving Red back to Jerry Gordon, because he knows that if Red goes back, Jerry is going to do something bad to Red, and Bruce and his sister could also be most-loving or most – caring to these guests in this dog hotel, especially Andi. Andi has shown most love to these dogs, she also misses her old dog Bebe too. They also are good at thinking where the dogs should stay and what should they do, they find homeless dogs to take care of, they also take these dogs that could not live because of their breed kind. Bruce’s friend Tim and Andi’s friend Debbie are very kind and thoughtful and very smart because they find excellent ideas fast. I like this story is because it lets you think of ideas that are good and safe for the dogs. They would find many materials for the hotel. They want the dogs to have a good life while they find a place for them to live happily. They care about the dogs living comfortably in the hotel.

Dear Amy, My name is Kylie Gorospe and I know you are going through hard times right now. I know your artistic party with your friends did not go according to plan. My advice is to go smaller next time. Even though your friends might be rich, they might have liked a simple artistic party. Instead of asking your family members to make a grand feast, you could have asked them to make simple biscuits which are still elegant like you wanted the food to be. You are always great at being thankful for what you have, but when your idea of hosting a party came with big ideas you lost that thankfulness. It’s fine to be poor because you can still have a great life. I know it must be hard to go through these big decisions without Meg, since she is now in her own house with John, but you always will have your mother to help. Remember you are not the only one that is poor. Meg is still poor, but she is content with what she has. You do not need to have fancy things or big parties to feel happy, because you have your family with you. It was a very kind thing you did to give your leftovers from your party to a homeless family, even though Hannah’s cooking was not the best. You should not have argued with your mother because she was right that the party would cost a lot of money. Be thankful you had the party.
Sincerely, Kylie Gorospe

Dear Nancy Drew,
You were very resourceful in solving the mystery of the dancing puppet, but always remember to be in pairs because you never know what those men were capable of. When one threw the chest with the cannon ball inside you should have had a friend with you so maybe your companion would be able to see whoever the culprits were sooner. You did the right thing by not snapping back at Tammi even when she deserved it. With the foot prints you should have photographed then so the man also known as Longman. I saw Bess has more of a minor role in solving this mystery so please include her more because she may have helped solve this swifter. With Emmet it was a wise and a thread ludicrous to not suspect him because at the end he was involved a little more than you thought. Always try to find a feature or two that stands out on a man because that seemed to really help you in this case. If people are saying something and you get skeptical then try to use a different angle on getting them to “talk” as I have not seen you do very much in this case. This tip might very much help you in your next case. Try to keep a secure journal with all the details on the case so it may help you put the “puzzle” together. My last tip to you is always stay with George and Bess as you all seem to make a good team of sleuthing detectives.

Prompt #4
Make your mind up has many different themes. Confidence is one of the main themes. For Bethany to block out the hate and rude comments she needed confidence to not listen to them or stop doing what she is doing. Bethany believes that what you wear makes you confident. If you are uncomfortable of what you are wearing you will most likely not be yourself or confident. Another example that will not make you confident is by limiting yourself. This does not mean to not limited yourself with bad things, but to not limited yourself with new experiences. Bethany was at a conference and they were asked if anyone wanted to go outside and walk on hot coals they could to try something new. Bethany decided to go outside and wait in line for forty minutes. When she got to the front she said, "I can not do it, I can not do it!," but then Bethany remained herself she decided to get in line, take off her shoes, and wait for forty minutes. She gained back her confidence and did it. Bethany's confidence helped her try new things. Also, another example to have confidence is to not be embarrassed of what you are wearing. If you need glasses or braces you need to own it and have confidence to wear. Even if you are the only person you know who has to braces it does not matter because you are different and you stand out. Bethany has to wear glasses, but she owns if and looks beautiful. Just because you are different and stand out does not mean anything because normal is boring.

The Hobbit
After the end of the book the Hobbit it was a very bad ending to me and this is how I would have ended it if I was the author. I would have had the Hobbit slay the beast and then in the next one they would slay the dragon. I say this because it wouldn't upset fans on how the third one is a repeat of the first one because in the first they don't kill the beast, in the second they do kill the dragon, and then in the third movie they are back with the enemy from the first. I also would have had a lot of people live like in the third one the leader of the book died but instead of dying I would have made him turn bad and betray everyone and it would set up a fourth movie called The Hobbit: The Last Battle. Also I would have had the Hobbit kill the beast instead of the leader of the army because then that would not only prove he is a hero but be able to have the respect and leadership award he deserves. Well that will be the ending of the Hobbit and I hope that there will be another one coming soon so that I could get a better ending.
