Hey kids today we will be discussing who I think would be super heroes for the two main characters of our book Ryan and Jessica. The first person I think these two kids would think of as a hero is Houdini. You see these two children have a very magician life style, they like magic tricks. I think Houdini is a man they would look up two for his work as an escape artist. I’m sure that both have tried t do some of his tricks. Next, I think that they would look up to Michael Carbonaro. Carbonaro has a show on a TV channel and I think that Ryan and Jessica would watch that show every time its on to try to figure out how to do some of his tricks. (His show is called the CARBONARO EFFECT its pretty good). Carbonaro has do some amazing magic tricks that I’m sure took many hours of practice to get down right. I don’t think Ryan and Jessica would ever find out how he pulls off the tricks he performs. Now, this next person is a bit of an odd one. I think that Ryan and Jessica would look up to Magic Man from ADVENTURE TIME. You see Magic Man is no ordinary man, he is a man of magic, and he is powerful. From turning birds inside out, to turning hair into water, I think that Magic Man would hold a special place in Ryan and Jessica’s heart. Well that ‘s all the time I have for today, tune in next time where we um… discuss… Time… Travel??

Diary of a wimpy kid is an odd character and so is Rowley so let’s see what their name means. Greg’s name means to watch and a lot of saints used that name because of the meaning. Greg’s name also means alert which is kind of weird and creepy. And the name Rowley means, roughly cleared meadow that is also very creepy to. So over all these names are pretty weird and creepy I would not want to have a name that’s Greg or Rowley. First Greg does not fit the description of watching but he does watch TV and he does play video game and watch them but I don’t think that he is a stalker. And Rowley was weird to a cleared meadow but not one book or movie that he goes in a meadow so they picked a really weird name for the books and in the movies. I wonder what made them pick those names and if they did for the meanings or if they even knew what the names meant. I think that they picked those names just for the names not the definitions. Over all those names are weird and they picked the names for a reason but those names are creepy.

Greg is the main character in the book and there are five books that Greg will like. The first book Greg will like is I Survived The Attacks of September 11, 2001. The reason why he would like is how the beginning influences you to read the whole book. This book can teach him how serious being a fire fighter and what they have to do. This book can also teach how people are dangerous and how not to play with fire. The second book Greg would like is No Talking. Greg would like to know how to not talk in class. This book can teach him not to talk when the teacher talks. Listen instead of talking can help have a skill of listening to directions. The third book Greg would like is Lunch Money. The reason why he would like it is because he probably wants to know how to gain money. Greg can know more math by buying, and selling. Math skills will be an important part in life. Greg can get out of this book of how money is valuable and not to waste it. The fourth book Greg would like is Goosebumps Night of the Living Dummy. The reason why Greg would like it because it is creepy and interesting. Greg can learn how to pray every night before he goes to bed. In these scary times of life he should go to God and ask for help. The last book Greg would like to read is I Survived The Shark Attacks of 1916. The reason why he would like this book is he wants to learn how deadly sharks are. Greg can learn when he goes in the water always look out for sharks because they can be a pain killer. He can also warn people when shark is near.

The character John would like the movie Back to the Future because in the movie he could use his imagination and put himself in Marty McFly’s shoes and think he could go back into time to shelter and help everyone to safety. In the 1880’s they had no way to see if there was a huge storm coming so nobody had time to find safety until it actually hit them. So if he went back in time he could have saved hundreds of peoples lives that were lost in that deadly storm. I think that John would also like the movie Cast Away because he could compare and contrast this story to the Cast Away. In Cast Away a FedEx delivery Guy was in a huge FedEx plane crash that killed everybody but him and he had to take risks to survive in that movie. Kind of like John’s story when he was stuck in a small, unsteady schoolhouse in a huge blizzard John also had to take risks. For example, when he went outside to find his little sister and he found her! The third and final movie I think John would like is Home Ward Bound where there were three animals trying to find their way home. During the story John’s friend’s horse that was carrying them back to town after the storm went wild and dropped all of them and they were a few miles away from the school house and it was freezing and snowing harshly so they could not go home so they had to find their way to survive in a little snow shelter for a day. After that all of Johns friends and him were badly frost bitten. Those are the three movies that I think John would like to watch.

If Cassie, Zombie and Sammy were superheroes, Cassie would be Batman, Zombie would be Mr. Incredible and Sammy would be Dash, the super-fast kid from The Incredibles. Batman best suits Cassie’s character because when Cassie strikes, she strikes in the dark and at the perfect moment so there isn’t any casualties. She always thinks through every possibility that could go wrong, but still sees the potential for good in people. She also uses explosions for distractions which allows her time to fight the battles that matter most. Like Batman, Cassie symbolizes a hero's most important role, and that is the ability to believe in others even when they have stopped believing in themselves. Zombie best relates his superpower to Mr. Incredible. With his incredible strength, he is always carrying bodies out of battles on both sides of his arms. Zombie fights his battles with great strength and durability as well as with dignity. He is always the one you can ask for a helping hand whether it be on or off the battlefield. He is also a Great War hero and without him they would have been killed in the military base fight. Sammy is great fit with Dash, the kid from The Incredibles. He typically does not handle the difficult stuff. Sammy is quick to get to cover when in danger and making sure others do as well. Like Dash, Sammy’s sometimes reckless nature and one-track mind can get him into trouble, but his swift response is almost always sure to bail him out.

I think Maia from The Beautiful Lost would like to meet Paul McCartney because Maia is being raised by her dad and step mom and she has a hard time with it. Paul McCartney grew up without a mom and he had a hard time. Writing songs helped him get through it and he became very famous and part of one of the most well known bands in the 60s. This shows you can overcome struggles and be successful and I think Maia would get hope from this. I think she would also like to meet Jennifer Lawrence because she is a great actor that had anxiety has a child and still followed her dreams of acting. Maia's anxiety sometimes holds her back and gets the best of her. Maia should also meet Anne Frank because she went through many struggles as a young Jewish girl while in hiding. She kept a good attitude during it and just lived her life. Another character in this book is Billy, he should meet Bruce Lee because is a very strong karate expert and Billy would look up to him. Billy should also meet Jack from the Titanic because no matter what he did all he could to be with Rose and Billy and Maia find it hard to be together and continue the road trip without being caught. One more person he should meet is Pablo Picasso because he had struggles growing up and still became an artist. Billy has many battles of his own to fight and this might inspire him to do so.

Jamie Sullivan is a modest girl after God’s own heart and she has leukemia. Jamie only has several months to live and she spent those months graduating from high school and helping others less fortunate than her. If Jamie had instead used her time left to go on a dream vacation of hers before she dies, this is what I believe Jamie’s dream vacation would have been. Rural Zion, Utah where the skies are clear as crystal glass, where the lakes are deep placid pools of blue, and the mountains are intricately carved and painted in an array of colors. Jamie I believe would want to find a nice cabin on the Cliffside of one of the painted mountains of Zion, Utah. Nearby the cabin would be a lake that runs of the cliff crashing into a larger lake at the bottom of the cliff. Around the cabin would be tall conifer and desert pine trees. Around the lake grows grass and outstretches from the lake in strands before dwindling to just a ground of clay and dirt. Jamie would want to hike and explore the beauty that glorifies the power of God in Zion, Utah. Near the cabin the creatures such as mule deer in the grass fields atop the cliff and rock squirrels running amongst the rocks and boulders. At Night Jamie would want to sit on the porch of the cabin, light radiating through the windows from inside giving off a feeling of warmth reading her bible. Jamie would then want to watch the starts in the sky marveling in the power of God. The skies there are so clear when you look up to the sky at night, it’s a sea of stars; as numerous as the grains of sand on the shores of the beaches back in Beaufort, South Carolina. Before leaving Jamie would want to see the famous arches of Zion, Utah and swim in the placid lake near the cabin and lastly see a ring-tailed cat.

If Lemony Snicket had some people that he thought of as like super heros or hero figures in All the Wrong Questions, one of them would probably be the myth, the man, and the legend, Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders failed many times in his lifer but later in life got back up and created a product that people enjoy today, and became a billionaire because of it. Even though the Colonel is seen as a gimmick or not taken seriously, he really had a rough life and must have felt useless and defective at times. Lemony while less so later in the story is made to feel like a defect by Theodora. Another superhero for Lemony relating to this would be Gerard Way. Gerard Way is the singer of a very successful band called My Chemical Romance. Gerard Way played in many different bands and did art until one of his bands finally became successful. He was even kicked out of one band due to being not very good at the guitar. Gerard instead gave up music for art, but after 9/11 was woken up and decided he was sick of hiding. Gerard Way I think Lemony could somewhat relate to both these characters as heros. After arriving at the town of Stain’d by the Sea, Lemony and Theodora go to the Sallis Mansion to investigate a stolen statue. I feel like this made Lemony feel like he is worthy again being a part of something and made him feel happy again.

I have chosen to find five books for the character in my book named Jane Penderwick because of her desire to become a famous published writer. The first book I would recommend for Jane to read is The Nancy Drew Sleuth Book, Clues To Good Sleuthing by Carolyn Keene. Jane has created a character in her writings named Sabrina Starr, who is the hero in her stories. Jane could learn from reading this Nancy Drew book different ways to write about mysteries and having Sabrina solve them in the story line. The second book I’ve chosen for Jane to read is Writing Magic by Gail Carson Levine. This book can help Jane learn how to develop new and exciting ideas to introduce new characters in her writings. Writing Magic is filled with exercises to develop a writer’s ability to their full potential. The third book for Jane to read is Adventure Stories by Ruth Thomson. Jane loves adventures herself, and she is always including what happens to her and her sisters in everyday life into her stories. Adventure Stories is perfect for her to read because it will teach her the correct way to write an adventure story, including grammar tips, writing ideas, and sample stories. The fourth book for Jane to read should just be for fun, and that is why I have chosen A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle. In this book, the main character Meg goes on an out-of-this-world adventure, and Jane would truly enjoy reading the author’s writing describing different scenery and characters in this book. Jane may even learn to improve her own writing by seeing how other authors can turn language into a picture in your mind. The fifth and final book I would suggest to Jane is The Essential Guide To Getting Your Book Published by Arielle Eckstut. Jane’s ultimate dream is to be a published author, and this book is a guide on all aspects of getting published, which can help lead her in the right direction to further her career.

The character I have chosen from this book is John Hale because, when a giant blizzard comes in, John’s little sister Franny gets lost in the storm, and John goes back out to save her. John put his fear aside when he realized his sister was in the storm, and he did not care that he put himself in danger of possibly freezing to death to rescue her. I would like John to meet some real-life superheroes such as a firefighter on a search and rescue team and a police officer on patrol. Firefighters put themselves in dangerous situations every day when they respond to a call, and they do this for the main reason of helping someone they do not know to be safe. Many times they have to enter a burning building to rescue someone who may be trapped inside. In order to do the job of a firefighter, you have to be brave, smart, and diligent. These are all qualities that I think John has shown in his own actions. Police officers also risk their lives every day in order to protect the people in their community. They must be accurate, brave, and fast thinking in their actions and know how to manage a situation in a short amount of time. John had to make a quick decision about finding his sister in the blizzard before she might freeze to death. He also had to be smart about how he would rescue her and save himself. I think John could learn from both a firefighter and a police officer valuable information on rescuing someone, which would better prepare him in the future if he ever faced a rescue situation again in a blizzard.

The next movie that Raina would like is Moana. Raina would like Moana because it's all about family and saving their family and that's how it is like in the book it's all about family.

There are many superheroes to choose from, but there are specifically two that I think Harry Potter would think of as a superhero. One of the superheroes is named Doctor Strange. Harry Potter would think of Doctor Strange because they both have ability to do magic. Their magic is very similar because Doctor Strange can make portals to different places in the world, and Harry Potter can teleport too, which is called aporating. Harry Potter also has the ability to fly on a broomstick. I think that Harry Potter would want to have Doctor Strange’s cape instead of a broomstick because then that would give him the ability to fly freely instead of having to control his broomstick and having to be careful of where he is going. Another reason he would want Doctor Strange’s cape is because it looks super cool. Another person that he would think of as a superhero is Ironman. Harry Potter would think of as Ironman as a superhero because he has a super high tech suit made of vibranium metal. if Harry Potter had his suit, the vibranium metal would be able to deflect any bad spells that were cast on him. Also, Ironman’s suit can fly much faster than a wooden broomstick. Ironman is also very brave and fearless and could teach Harry Potter many things on how to fight the bad guys.

Eli Wessel is a strong holocaust survivor whom dealt with the unforgiving treatment of the Nazis. Like many other Jews, he was rounded up and taken to a Jewish Ghetto. After he was deported to Auschwitz to work under cruel conditions. Later Eli was later deported to Buna Werke and Buchenwald to work in inhumane conditions. He and his two older sisters survived the terrible conditions in the camps, but the rest of his family died in these awful camps. After his liberation, Eli had wrote Night which was a book about his struggles. Eli Wessel would think of Albert Goering as a hero. Albert was the opposite of his brother, Herman Goering. Herman hated the Jews and was a Nazi, yet his brother Albert helped to save Jews. He owned a weapon making business in which he would supply Jews with proper arms to help fight the Nazis with. Albert helped Jews escape the grasp of the Reich and supplied them with Swiss bank accounts to start them off. Albert died poor because of his infamous last name, Goering. Eli would see Albert as a hero because of the Great things did to help Jews and how he loved on others even when times were tough. Janusz Korczak would also be a hero to Eli. Janusz had two orphanages, one dedicated to Jewish children. Janusz and over 200 Jewish children were forced into the Ghettos. Many rich people admired him and wanted to help him escape. Janusz refused for the sake of the children. He would not leave their side. Eventually they were all deported to Treblinka. While boarding the train he led the children and still refused to leave their side, he was like a father figure to them. Eventually they were all gassed and their stories ended in tragedy. Eli would see Janusz Korczak as a hero because of this brave man’s dedication to keeping all of the children safe and never leaving their side. Eli would see this brave man’s perseverance as a very desirable trait. Eli would see these great and brave men as heroes whom did good for the sake of others.

Karma was very controlive. These are a few songs that could help karma figure out that life isnt just on your phone. My number one song that i would suggest for Andi is never be the same by Camilla Cabello it is about her never be the same that she was before. Karma was never the same because she got her phone tooken away by her parents and now she is taking a photography class because she loves to take photos. The second song that i would chose for karma would be Real Friends by camilla cabello because The bees that she is hanging with they are not the nicest people and they are always taking behind her back, and the song real friends is saying that she needs better friends because she is in the same situation because her friends arnt being very nice to her. The third song i would recomend would be Thumbs by Sabrina Carpenter it is about her going everywhere and everyone is always on there phones instad of focasing on life around them. The fourth song i would chose would be Perfect by Ed Sheeren its basically him singing a song on how perfect the girl is. Karma is perfect on not freaking out on her phone being taken away. The last song i would suggest for Karma would be Happier by Ed Sheeren its basically you are happier doing one thing than the other. Karma seems happier without her phone and without it its giving her time to do stuff and now she is taking a photography class and she seems fine withut her phone so those are five songs i would suggest for Karma

Sparrow: Blades and Fire. Blades can slow them down and fire kills them.
Me: Can necromancers get raised again?
Sparrow: No, we get one chance in life and we can’t be raised for a second life.
Me: when Evander’s father become a Shade? What did his family do?
Sparrow: The Shade first tried to attack Meredy, Evander’s little sister, and then broke his foot. Then Lyda, Evander’s mother, killed the Shade with fire.
Me: Can a Shade turn back to normal?
Sparrow: No, once the dead becomes a Shade, it can’t turn back, it can only be destroyed.
That is all for the interview with the Sparrow today.

From Everyday Angel I picked Gabby and Aria. I chose these two characters because other people can relate to them. Aria is a sweet angel. I would like her to meet my dad. The reason I would like her to meet my dad is because they relate. They relate in a way that makes them special. They both have a talent and the joy for helping people. My dad loves to help people no matter what the situation is. He will always help you in kindest way possible, just like Aria. Aria was sent to help three girls and Gabby was her first mission. Aria helped Gabby through her difficult time. She made Gabby feel whole again. She had truly impacted Gabby’s life forever. The next person I picked was Gabby. I would love Gabby to meet the Lord. I want Gabby to meet the Lord because through her hard time she could have gone to God and pray. She would have then found comfort in the sight of the Lord. Instead she let her life eat her up. God is a great comfort tool. He will always be there for you. I would also want Gabby to meet Mia Hamn because Mia Hamn lost someone really special to her just like Gabby did. Mia Hamn lost her brother. Even though she lost her brother that did not stop her from putting herself out there. Gabby could really learn from Mia Hamn and God. These two characters can teach many people today.

Maia has been through so much but she has been so brave. She has gone through things like her mom leaving her and her dad, and even going to mental hospitals to try and get over her depression. Her dad also got remarried which was really hard for Maia considering she loved her mom and she didn’t want anyone else taking that place in her family. The only other thing that can help Maia forget about her depression and her mom is Billy. Maia has a really big crush on Billy and she has a hunch that he likes her too. Billy goes to Maia’s school and she has that biggest crush on him. Billy is a mysterious boy that Maia want’s to figure out. Billy would be awarded the Most Unknown Award.

Billy is hiding a secret that no one known about. Maia wants to find out what Billy is hiding. He is someone who doesn’t talk about himself much to other people because he doesn’t want people to figure out his secret. That is why he is so unknown.

Ximena Chin can learn more from reading the book recommendations. The first book I think she should read is Ugly which is written about Robert Hoge from his perspective. I think she should read this book because she could imagine from her perspective how it would feel to be different or thought of as an outsider. If she read this book she may not have fallen into the wrong crowd that makes fun of Auggie. The second book is Freedom Walker. The African Americans were treated differently because of their skin color. All human beings are equal and Ximena should know that. Ximena’s friend Savanna thinks her group is better than everyone else, but everyone is equal no matter what color you are, how you look, or any differences. Another book she should read is Little Women. Meg ,Jo, Beth, and Amy had spent a good chunk of time without their father. At the sleepover Ximena, Charlotte, and Summer had Ximena and Charlotte had said they could not imagine life without their father. By reading Little Women Ximena could imagine how life had been for Summer when her dad died. The next book suggestion is Charlotte’s Web. The pig was not always with his owner, he was separated from her. Ximena learned Savanna, Ellie, and Gretchen will not always be there for her. She extended beyond her group and became good friends with Charlotte and Summer. No matter where you go in life you will always have to meet someone new. The last book suggestion is a Wrinkle in Time. In a Wrinkle in Time Meg is thought to be stupid and dumb. In Charlotte’s friend’s opinion Ximena is though as evil , terrible, and a bad influence. Meg turns out to be different in her own way. Ximena will not always be like by everyone but she is special and unique in her own way.

In the book QB1 there are many main characters that are important and that have done a lot. Each character had their own thing that they were known for especially Jack. There are many awards for many different people. The award I want to give Jack is the effort award. I want to give this award to Jack because he did his best effort no matter what circumstance he was in for football. Jack is my favorite character in the book because he always gave his best effort. That is why I wasn’t to give him the effort award too. The other award I am going to give out is the hustle award. This award is going to the person who always hustled to matter what circumstance he was in. I am going to give this award to James. James was a good player and he also hustled a lot. There will be two more awards I will be giving out which are the showing kindness award, and always working hard award. The showing kindness award is the person who was showing kindness and love always on the football field no matter what happened to the other person. This award is going to a player named Chris. Chris was always being kind to his other teammates and to his friends. The final award I am going to give out is the working hard award. This award belongs to the person who was always working hard at practice and the games. I am going to give this award to Caden. Caden was always working hard.
