Beatrice Prior, Tris, name means bringer of joy. This name fits her in many different ways. Once when she came to talk to Tobias and he was thinking about his family and where they were while he was there. Tris was able to comfort him during these lonely times. She also brought joy to many kids and she plays with them all the time Beatrice just has a loving heart over all. There was a time where she didn’t and that was when she got mad at Chris. Chris got sad and committed suicide on himself. Overall Tris is just the kind of person you want to be around. When you’re lonely, sad, or mad she will definitely bring joy to your heart. Tobias, Four, name means God is good. I do not see this kind of attitude in him that God is good. He is just not that guy who is open to many people. The only time that I saw that God is good was when Tris came into Tobias’s life. Tobias does not have that love and friendship in his heart for others. Christina’s name means follower of Christ. This name does not fit her because she seems only to care about herself and no one else. She did pray one time before going into battle and thanking the Lord for everything, but besides that she has never shown to the public that she is a follower of God.

Pg 103

One of the themes in the book shaken are to have faith in Jesus Christ. An example in the book is when Tim Tebow got cut from football he had to have faith in god that he will provide. Tim Tebow is one that has a lot of faith in God that he will provide. He has been through a lot of tough times through his career in playing football. He was cut from a lot of NFL teams because he was a Christian. Tebow at some point didn’t have a home to live in at one point because he was cut from a lot of teams. Examples are the Broncos, Patriots, and the Jets. All of those teams were making fun of tebow that he was a Christian, and accusing him. Tebow had to have a lot of faith in God that he will provide for him. God wanted something better for him to do. When tebow says in the book if you were the only one alive Jesus would die for you. I know that’s a little off topic about having faith in God. God wants you to have faith In him and trust in him in whatever he does. It might be bad at first but in the long run it will really help us out. Tim tebow is one that I look up to because he had a lot of faith in Jesus Christ that he will provide. God will always be on our side no matter what.

Gaylen the twelve year old orphan, adopted by the Prime Minister seeks peace away from bickering man of the bustling kingdom. Gaylen feels he belongs nowhere and cannot find common ground with others and ultimately is lost. I feel that Gaylen just has not come across the right people in which he might have more in common with than he actually realized. First off I believe Gaylen and Leonardo da Vinci would have a lot in common both with a sense of adventure and creativity. I also believe Gaylen would like to meet Galileo and Christopher Columbus. With Columbus’s sense of curiosity and Galileo’s intelligence and knowledge, Gaylen would have much in common with the both of them. Next a little mermaid, the age of twelve, meek and shy, but lovely none the less; this little astonishing creature is Ardis. Ardis I believe would love to meet Queen Elizabeth the II who makes a great example of beauty and kindness. Along the same lines I believe Ardis would also love to meet Jaqueline Kennedy who displayed immense beauty and class with a dignified yet humble authority. Lastly Ardis would have much in common with the lovely Belle the fictional character who actually represents many fine women throughout history. Honestly I feel these two characters have great qualities and could become great friends themselves. Ardis and Gaylen I believe represent a small part in all of us with a childlike spirit.

Stephen King IT pg: 178
In Stephen King’s IT, Beverly Rogan is a very independent woman who was physically abused by her husband. She nearly kills him and learns she needs to look out for herself. Bill Denbrough is the main character in the story that has to overcome the fear of going back to his home town where his brother was murdered. Someone Beverly who like to meet is Sally Holiday. Sally is probably the most thoughtful and helpful and supportive person in the world. There are not enough adjective to describe how amazing she is. Beverly would love to meet her because Sally could help her with her marriage and help her be closer to God. Bill would also love to meet her because Sally could help him recover from his little brother’s death. Another person they would both like to meet is Flea. The only reason why I say Flea is because Flea is surprisingly wise. He’s really down to earth even though he is the best bass player of all time. They would like him because he can help them keep themselves in check and solve problems without violence. Beverly would also love to meet the woman from the movie Hidden Figures. She would like to meet these woman because they were unbelievably oppressed just like how she was oppressed by her husband. They weren’t expected to work as well or better as men. These woman proved everyone wrong and showed them that woman can work just as hard as men.

Mr. Carp showed great intellect, bravery, and problem solving skills. For these reasons he will be receiving an award of wisdom. While the boy was scramming around looking for solutions to his problems Mr. Carp waited for his call. When he received the call for help he answered swiftly and calmly. He swooped in and mad a quick, beneficial, and functioning fix to the problem. All that had to be done to avoid this problem would be for the boy to have just fed Otto the correct amount of food Otto was to be given. Another award Mr. Carp deserves of receiving is an award of courage. In the face of adversity he was able to keep his cool and fix the problem at hand. When the boy fed his fish too much he was the only one able to help the boy solve his problem and fix the ever growing fish. The boy, while having many mistakes, also showed great problem solving skills. While his fixes to the problem of his fish growing too much due to over feeding were small and only temporary, he showed fast thinking and swift action in all he did. Without hesitation he went on to the next solution never stopping. He was a boy with a plan. For this he is receiving the “boy with a plan” award. Otto the fish will be receiving the award for most hungry fish. He ate a whole box of fish food at one time!

The three characters who's names I looked up were Cyra, Akos, and Vas. My first character Cyra, has a name meaning, “Moon.” This meaning can relate to her in a few ways. The moon can be looked at by a person as mysterious and unknown in some ways. It's surrounded by darkness, but is a light throughout it. Cyra is different from every Shotet man and woman. She is mysterious and yet beautiful on the inside and out. Like the moon Cyra is surrounded by darkness that covers her body which is her current gift. And through the black strips of current she is a light. She may look evil and mysterious, but on the inside she is completely opposite of her outward appearance. My second character Akos, has a name meaning, “White Falcon.” A white falcon is a predictor and is strong and very rough, while on the outside seeming calm and peaceful. Akos can be gentle and look calm and peaceful as well as the falcon. Akos shows no fear forwards his enemies. Although Akos looks gentle he is also strong, smart, and quick. So far he has killed two Shotet soldiers. Akos relates to a white falcon very closely. My last character Vas, has a name meaning, “Vessel or Duct.” This relates to Vas so strongly. Vas is strong, tough, ruthless, shows no mercy or fear, and never gives in or up. He's exactly what his name means. He’ll take down anyone in his path and is always loyal to his duties. Many have tried to take him down, but have failed miserably in the attempt. The result for them is either their life or their freedom.

These are vacations that would suit each character. Hubert Karliner would like the beaches of Miami, Florida. I know he would cherish these beaches because of his childhood. When Hubert was on the St Louis he fell in love with the beautiful beaches and wanted to later live there. Hubert even daydreamed about the lovely beaches. Next Sarah would absolutely love Lake Arrowhead, California. She was in a small basement for two years. She would imagine herself playing in the grass, splashing in a lake full of water, and playing in the snow. Sarah would love Arrowhead because she dreamed of a lake full of water in which she craved, a lake that she could splash around in, and love. I think Lucina, now known as Ruth, would like Seville, Spain. She was forced to sit in a chair for hours hoping nobody would see her. She was disappointed she could not play as the other kids did. Seville is a grand and beautiful place that is fun for tourists and visitors. She can have fun there and enjoy playing as she once long for. I think Jack would like Kennebunkport, Maine. It is a very relaxing spot that Jack would enjoy. As a kid he was assigned to back breaking jobs and had a hard life. After surviving the gruesome death march Jack could relax at a nice beach. He was over worked person and would deserve a relaxing vacation. These are vacations that these people would enjoy.

They both are golden retrievers, they are both hyper, they are both very sweet and loving dogs, and they have very similar kind families. Marley ended up dying of old age. That was very hard for his family because the family was so attached to Marley. They owned Marley all of his life so it was extremely difficult for them to loose someone so close to them. Marley was a family member to them. I would want Ethan from Bailey’s story to meet the owner of Marley from Marley and me John. John was the one who bought Marley for his family to have a puppy. He ended up being a very hyper puppy but he was okay once he grew up. The family ended up getting so attached to Marley. John and Ethan are very similar in many different. John and Ethan both are the owners of Bailey and Marley. These two dogs love their families but they are more attached to Ethan and John.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away,
A princess struggled with politics every day,
and her name was Leia and had some bad times,
But even through it all she somehow still shines,
With all the new villains and evils to face,
She can only help but wonder what is going to take her place,
Throughout the galaxy many die,
To her, that matters, even if she lies,
Casterfo her assistant, isn’t very kind,
but he can get you out of a jiffy, because of his great mind.
With C-3PO and R2 to help her through life
she can always speak to others with good intentions, even during strife.
Her husband Han Solo was off smuggling goods,
when their son Ben went off to the woods,
he turned to the dark side in a matter of time,
it only made sense that the would both cry,
now they deal with it in their own way,
and they always think about him every single day.
She thinks of the times back during the fight,
and wonders to herself if any of it was right.
Her father, Darth Vader, causing her pain,
she still persevered, even though it was in vain.
Her brother Luke, is lost in the stars,
and it left her with multiple scars,
but she till keeps on going no matter the situation,
because she knows where to have her vacation.
But now off she goes onto her flight,
aboard the magnificent ship the Mirrorbright,
onto the next political problem,
because everybody knows she’s the one that solves them.

Prompt 13
The maine character in my book is Carli Lloyd. I would like Carli Lloyd to read the book Mia Hamm. Carli Lloyd would like this book because first, she played with Mia Hamm and second, because she can relate to the book. Carli Lloyd can relate to this book because they both had to work super hard to make the U.S National team. The next book I recommend for Carli Lloyd is Pele` Why Soccer Matters. I recommend this book to Carli Lloyd because Pele` turned rough times in his career in leading to become the best in the world just like Carli Lloyd did when she got cut many times. Another book I recommend is Neymar The Wizard. I know for a fact Carli Lloyd would love this book because Neymar is all about heart and heart is something Carli Lloyd lacked when she played on the U21’s U.S National team. On top of that Neymar had the love of of playing soccer and had a rough time because his family was suffering in poverty. All Neymar had to do was to believe in himself to make him a great player and that is what made Carli Lloyd a great player. The next book I recommend for Carli Lloyd is To Chase a Dream. Carli Lloyd would definitely love this book because it can relate back to what she went through. Carli Lloyd was constantly told you can’t defend and contently criticized. The same happend to this kid, he was told he would never be a national powerhouse but, through hard work he made it through. The last book I recommend for Carli Lloyd is The Women's Soccer Team’s World Champion. I would want her to read this book to show her the hard work and the rough parts payed off. Carli Lloyd is a great soccer player and she inspires many people today.

Prompt 13
One of the main characters in the book Giants vs. Dodgers is Barry Bonds. He could benefit from reading some books. Books are good resources that help people improve their life. The first book that I would recommend him to read is McGwire and Sosa. This book is about the summer of 1998 when the two best hitters in the league competed against one another to break the Major League Baseball record of sixty-one home runs hit in one season. The players’ names are Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. They both had to deal with pressure and adversity during this time. The book would help Barry deal with adversity as he is trying to break the all-time home run leader record. It can help him calm down and know how to deal with the pressure. The next book Barry should read is The Summer of ’41. The book talks about when Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams battled for the MVP award in 1941. DiMaggio achieved the longest hitting streak in baseball at fifty-six games. Williams in that season had a .400 batting average and is the last player to accomplish the feat. In the end, DiMaggio wins the MVP. Barry could gain motivation from DiMaggio’s and William’s example. If he can hit the most homeruns ever, it will be one of the greatest baseball records to ever be broken. 42 is another book Barry should read to gain knowledge on how to deal with racism. The story is about Jackie Robinson and his struggles with racism during the 1940s. Barry should also read The Hall so that he can learn more about baseball history and what it is like to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Lastly, Ultimate of Records is another book he should read to see others who have accomplished feats similar to him.

Dear Journal,
I’m currently on the run, killing those three men. It wasn’t exactly what I would call an “accident”. Believe me, it was completely intentional. I didn’t feel an ounce of regret when I picked up that ax. The only regret that I can think of is the youth in one of those men, still having his entire life ahead of him. If I’m being honest with myself, I didn’t expect that old sea captain to put up that much of a fight. Luckily for me, he didn’t have enough. I am currently hiding out in the sewers next to the canal. Running from the police might be tough, but after all that I have just gone through, I feel like I could take on the world. I can hear the sound of the sirens and the barking of the dogs in the distance, and can’t help but feel the race of my heart and my spine tingle. I’m not going to lie, I’m testing my luck just for the thrill by taking my time to write all of this down, I almost feel like bragging. I think I can hear the barking growing louder and the shouting of the policemen growing closer. I am still weighing my options, deciding whether or not to begin my run or to stay, possibly running right underneath them. If I get caught there is now avoiding the consequences. I need to run, their getting too close.

In Auggie's head he thinks that he is just an ordinary boy
Who loves to play with space toys
He is very smart yet strange
But his personality will never change
He doesn't want to go to school
Because he is afraid of being called a fool
It's not like his parents didn't want him to go to school
They thought it would be cool
He is now going to middle school at the age of ten
But doesn't want to see a lot of men
His parents thought it would bring him more joy
And maybe make him feel like a normal boy
The universe was never kind to him
Which made his confidence go dim
This is why he didn't like school
Not because he felt to cool
Although he didn't want to, he went at last
And it truly wasn't a blast
Everyone stared at him
Which again made his happiness go dim
He finally made some friends
And they would always make new trends
A popular boy called Julian doesn't like him
"Ugly freak" he said but Auggie said it didn't bother him
Unpleasant feelings surround Auggie
That may seem very groggy
Auggie may do a lot of babbling
But he made new friends from it named Pluto and shingaling
August Pulman had courage and character
That is what separated him from the Julian Chapter
He showed kindness to everyone no matter who they were
Even if something was a complete blurr

What is Shane’s book a collection of?
-Essays written by him
How do you interpret Shane’s underdog story? From being an overweight boy with family issues, to being one of the most famous Youtubers, making an estimated 1.5 million dollars a year.
-Shane gives us a true example of what you can achieve if you truly believe in it. Shane took the miserable childhood that he had and turned it into a positive. Not only is he a Youtuber, but he is a filmmaker as well. He didn’t let the negatives keep him back from what he wanted to achieve in his life. Even to this day Shane is still criticized, but he keeps looking ahead and hoping that the future will be brighter. He has built up the character to defend himself in these situations because as he says, “It Gets Worse.”

Blog #15 Prompt #13
The main characters in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire have many interesting names, with unique and different meanings. Katniss’s name meaning is arrowhead. This suits Katniss Everdeen because she is very great with a bow and uses it as the primary choice of weapon throught the book. Katniss Everdeen would use a bow while she was hunting with Gale and also when she was hunting during the hunger games. Her name is ironic for these reasons. Peeta’s name came from pita. This name suits Peeta because his parents are bakers. Peeta Mellark gives Katniss Everdeen some burnt bread to help her family not starve to death and got into trouble because of doing it. I think this name fits Petta Mellark because the fact that he helped Katniss Everdeen’s family not to starve shows that Peeta Mellark cares a lot for Katniss. Cinna’s name in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a reference to Cinna the Poet from Shakespear’s Julius Ceasar who dies by an angry mob of people. Cinna later in a different book dies in a similar way. Cinna is also involved in art as a poet in Julius Ceasar, and Cinna is involved in art as a stylist in hunger games. Rue’s name means pity or regret. I think this name suits her because people would feel bad for her having to be at the hunger games when she is still very young.

Named after a star that shines from afar
Rigel the Martian is a sight to see.
With beautiful eyes bright as a new car
Any girl who saw him would be overwhelmed with glee.
He’s the star quarterback with a smile so homely
That anyone who met him would find standing to be hard
because he’s so beautiful they’d go weak in the knees.
Rigel and Marsha when meeting will see
That they are perfect and meant to be.
Living on Earth instead of Mars
Rigel and Marsha are aligned in the stars.
He is popular and she is a geek
Her with her glasses and him with his fans that shriek.
She is a no one and he has his own guard
She is a flat river stone, and he is a diamond shard.
Yet she has her secrets, the one’s that allow Rigel to breath
Because he is a Martian as well is she.
She is his Sovereign, impossible as it may seem
With her minor existence and inability to play the part
She was still able to win his alien heart.
Their relationship running at incredible speed,
They are becoming each other’s only one need.
Rigel the Martian, named after a star
And Marsha the Martian originally named Amileia
Will one day rule over all of the planet Mars.
Filled with compassion and zero greed
Being together is all that they will ever always need.

Joe Stoshack is a boy who loves the game of baseball . He has had many adventures because he can travel through time with baseball cards. I have some books that I think he would enjoy. One book is Squeeze Play. It is about a kid who is going to a big tournament and is in a hitting slump. A girl on his team is better than he his though. Also, one of the best players in MLB players ever wrote it, Cal Ripken Jr. wrote it. He played shortstop for the Orioles, and is now in the Hall of Fame. I think that Joe would enjoy this book a lot. Another good book that Joe would probably like is The Big Field. It is about a kid named Hutch. He got his position taken by another good player. Hutch’s dad is giving the other guy fielding tips because his dad played in the major leagues. Hutch’s dad never went to any of his games. Hutch feels betrayed and wants to show his dad that he can beat out the other guy. Joe would like this book because it is about another baseball player and it is very interesting. Another book is Honus and Me. He is in the adventure Joe goes on in this book. Joe went back to back to meet Honus the first time he realized he could travel through time with baseball cards. It was so famous it got turned into a book. Joe would love to read this book to see if the book matched up with the true events that happened. He also would like it because it reading the book would make him remember it and take him back to him. Out of the three Joe would probably like this book most. Those are three books Joe would enjoy reading.

Marcus Lutrell was a very brave soldier. I think Marcus Luttrell should meet Donald Trump, Chris Evans, Chris Kyle, and Bear Grylls. First of all, who wouldn't want to meet Donald Trump. Donald Trump and Marcus Luttrell both want/wanted the best for our country. They both would fight their hardest to benefit our country instead of themselves. Neither of them strive to use their position to benefit themselves for their selfish desires. Also, Marcus Luttrell should meet Chris Evans. Chris Evans plays Captain American. Captain American and Marcus Lutrell are both complete beast. They were both great at fighting and saving others. Chris Kyle and Marcus Luttrell would of made great war partners. They were both very brave and always wanted the better for everyone else. The both fought couragously for their nation. Both men served multiple years fighting for what they believed was right. Neither of them cared much for their personal selves, they were primarily focussed on making the world a better place for those who they cared about. Bear Grylls and Marcus Luttrell could have been amazing partners together too.Both men had many years of training in the situations they encountered. Bear Grylls was fantastic at surviving in the wilderness with little to no resources. Marcus Luttrell was trained in combat and fighting skills. Bear Grylls could have taught Marcus Luttrell everything he knew about surviving in harsh conditions. Marcus Luttrell could have taught Bear Grylls many important battle and fighting tecniques. Together, they could have made a somewhat triple threat.

Armada Ernest Cline
Prompt #10 Quarter #4
In Armada the four characters I would choose for an award are Zachary Lightman, Cruz, Diel, and General Lightman. I would choose these four characters because when it counted most they showed how courageous they are. Zachary Lightman was just an ordinary highschool senior and he played video games with his friends Cruz and Diel. But when the U.S.D. Came to get him he stepped up and didn't have any second thoughts about going and fighting for his country and for that I give him the “Lightman Award” an award for the most cunning and courageous fight in the heart of battle. When Cruz signed up to defend the earth he also signed up to defend his family so he station a group of infantry drones around there house to protect his family and the others on the street. For that he is awarded the “Family First” award for always thinking of others before himself. Diel when recruited took action and stationed in Tokyo and New York to defend what drone caches they had left so they could have a fighting chance in this war. For that Diel is awarded with “In the Heart of Battle” he receives this award because he showed how he could be strong in the heart of battle as well as his maturity for a highschool student. To General Lightman (Zachary's Dad) he is presented with the most honorable award but he will not be able to receive it sadly. During the beta of battle General Lightman risked his life to save the planets life by strapping himself in a nuclear chained exploding vest and he made his way to headquarters to stop a plan that would end humanity forever in that losing his life to protect everyone else in the world. For that General Lightman is awarded “Hero of the Century”.

Hobbit
Man if my main character was a superhero in my group it would be the flash. The reason I pick the flash is because when I read my book the main character is kind of like an underdog and doesn't really make action in the book and that is exactly what the flash is in my eyes. The main character the hobbit also like kind of like in the ending of the book he saves the day and in the TV show the flash practically saves the day but always end in a sad way like the ending of the Flash. When ever the hobbit tries to help he always find a way to either free civilians or his friends and everybody gets jealous because they don't expect a little small guy to save everyone. Also like how Gandalf thought the Hobbit was going to kill all third enemies and the same with how Batman had faith in the Flash and added him to the Justice League. Also like how in the book the Hobbit got lost in a cave and couldn't get out and he met a weird goblin with a ring to make him invincible and its the same with how the Flash went in the timezone and saw his father and got losses from his friends. I just think the Hobbit and the Flash's story is the same and also their personalities. Well that was my last blog of the first quarter and I will see you in the next blog.
