The Walking Dead

               In the very exiting zombie apocalypse book The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. It's all about a Kentucky cop called Rick Grimes. Rick gets shot and goes into a coma. When he wakes up he finds himself in the zombie apocalypse. He fights to find his wife and son and fights to survive this newly zombie infested world. There are lots of character changes. I personally think that when Carl, Rick's son kills Shane to protect Rick will change him and Rick forever.
                Carl and Rick will change because of Shane's death. They will because right after Carl shoots Shane Carl says that shooting a real living person is different and harder than shooting a zombie. I feel this means that now things have changed. Shane was Rick's best friend. I think Shane's death signifies that they are now in danger at all times, and now they have to leave the world they once new for a world were no can be trusted and a world were everything is legal.
               In conclusion Shane's death is going to be an impact on Carl and Rick.

Hurricane Song Post

                  In Paul Volponni's Hurricane Song the main character is Miles. Miles is a football loving teenager living in New Orleans. He lives with his father and and his uncle. Everyone is chosing to evacute New Orleans in fear of Hurricane Katrina. Miles and his family chose to evacuate out of the city put then evacuates to the Superdome. Throughtout their horrible time at the Superdome  the relationship between Pops and Miles grew. This led me to believe that relationships grow stronger through hardships.
                   The relationship between Miles and Pops grew. For example in the beggining Miles thought that all Pops cared about was his music. But while in the Superdome Pops otherwise. Specifically while a gang started a fire and Pops franctically grabbed Miles and his horn. Usaully when there is a  fire you grab the most important things.So this symbolized that Miles was important to pops and pops was starting show it more. Another example is when Miles distracted the officers so Pops could jump then Miles himself jumped to go with Pops. This showed that Mils loved his father that he would go and follow him and make him happy. The final example would be when Miles is wrestling a thug and Pops uses and breaks his horn saving Miles. Miles now knew that his father truly loved him and Pops showed that love to Miles.
                      This connects with teenagers because a lot of them feel like they are against the orld. More against their parents. They feel neglecated and feel that no one loves them. Just ike Miles. This connects to parents aswell because they might not know that they are not showing their child love or that their child is lonely.

TWEAK

      In the book TWEAK the main character Nic is changing. From what I have read so far he has gotten back with a former lover Zelda, and has been continuing to trust God with his addiction and stuff. I truly believe that Nic is changing. I actually think that he is comitted for real to become sober again. I think so because he has been faced wih many oppurtunities but still doesn't turn in and he has a better connection with family that he doesn't want to hurt again. Nic Sheff has gone through hell with his addiction, and I think he wants and needs a change in his life.
       I honestly believe that Nic can become Sober again because he has overcome temptation to do drugs. For example he was dog-sitting foir his mother. He was faced with stealing money and buying crystal meth. But he refraimed and didn't do it. I think that proves that he wants a better life. In the past he would've taken the money and he would've ran off to buys drugs. But he has more self control now. He clearly isn't thinking the same way as he was before.
      Also he's going to stay sober because he really has good connection with his family and he doesn't want to ruin it. When Nic went on vacation with his step-mom and father he played with their kids. He felt that he couldn't hurt his family anymore. He saw that he was getting reconnected with his family and that he couldn't turn his back on them again.  That's why I think he's going to stay sober. He now has a newly acquired willpower that will aid him in his new life.
                       All in all Nic is going to stay sober. He is because he faced challenges and overcame them and he loves his family too much to hurt them again. He isn't going fall back into what he was before. Hopefully he has the strength to overcome his struggles.

TWEAK

                I have just been reading a fantastic book called Tweak. It is about a guy named Nic Sheff. He is a drug sddict. He ran away from home to live the life he wants with his heroin and his crystal meth. He ends up goin to Lauren an old girlfriend of his for shelter and pleasure. I'm at the part where he wants to go back home with his family. He calls his good friend Spencer and he goes back home to his appartment. I believe that he is going to relapse.
                There is a thought that Nic is going to relpse. I kow because when he came bak to his appartment he was shaking, withering and feeling sick because of a drug withdrawl. I believe that he doesn't want to go threw it again so he's just gonna get some more drugs. Also in the book it says that before he has relapsed. He has been sent to rehabs and still has ha withdrawls.
                In conclusion Nic is probably gonna withdrawl. Because of his past experiences with rehab.

Poem Summary Post

              In Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" the protagonist in this poem is in his middle life. He is stuck between an important descision that will ultimatley change his life forever. When he finaly choses between two paths that are both wanting wear he wishes that he had a more vigorous life. That's what the poem is about.
              This poem shows that meaning because of the meaning of the words. In stanza 1, line 1 and 2 say " To roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both." This proves that a man is stuck between two hard choices. He needs to chose one. In stanza 2 line 3, it says " Because it was grassy and wanted wear" This means the roads were both wanting wear. In stanza 3 line 5 it clearly states that " I doubted if I should come back." This all means that he had some remorse of what choice he chose. In the final stanza line 5 it says " And that has made all the difference." This means that descision changed his life forever.
              This protaganists that made a choice between two and had remorse connects with teenagers because that's what they will go through. In life somethimes they have to make hard choices that will affect them greatly. Sometimes their choices are wrong. And teens relize that as they grow older. Then they start to feel remorse.

The Fallen Legacies.

          I read a great book called The Fallen Legacies by Pittacus Lore. It all about the 3 fallen numbers, 1,2,3. They each have their own story. But what I was more intrigued by was number two's story. Number two felt a pain in her leg. This meant that the mogadorians have killed number 1. So she's next. She foolishly posts a comment "Nine, now eight. Are the rest of you still out there?" This was her death note cause soon after she was killed. I believe that if she didn't do this she would still be alived.
          I beieve that if number two didn't post that comment then she would still be alive. In the book as soon as she posted it the mogadorians tracked her trace. The book said that the mogs have high tech that as soon as someone posts anything related to Lorien, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 they track. So that was pretty stupid putting it on the internet.
          All in all number two is stupid. She is really stupid because she caused her own death by posting the comment that gave her secret away.

Lost Files Nine's Legacy

             I have just chosen to read an incredible book called Lost Files: Nine's Legacy. This book is a sub book to a trilogy of books. Theseries is I am Number Four. This book is all about Number Nine and his Cepan and his legacies. Nine lives with his cepan, Sandor in plain sight. They live in a penthouse at the top of the John Hancock Center. They are trying to avoid Mogadorians. I believe that even though the relationship between Sandor and nine aren't the best they still love eachother.
             I know that they still love eachother because of their encounter in the train room. Their in the room they usaully train and talk about upcomming challenges along the way. Their they have talks about Nine's personal life and his "girlfriend". Even though Nine does things that endangers both of their lives Sandor still loves and will protect Nine at all costs. Another example is when they are captured by the Mogadorians. They torture Sandor. Nine gets so angry that he starts going in killing mode. he ends up getting a Mog knife and he mercy-kills Sandor to put him out of his misery. This shows that they love eachother.
             All in all, they both love eachother despite their various differences. This is an incredible. But I reccomend reading the book series first.
