RP#2 The Maze Runner

        In the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner Thomas is the main character. the book is all about how Thomas and oher kids are stranded in what is called the Glade. Every month a new kid appears in the "Box". According to the Gladers they were sent here by somebody who watches them everyday. When Thomas appears he's memory is wiped just like everyone else's when they first came. Also when Thomas came he was timid and afraid of everything. But as the book goes on and Thomas get's stuck in the maze and survives the night he changes into a confident and not so timid person. All in all Thomas is changed forever.
       We know Thomas changed into a confident and not so timid character because in the book it says that Thomas at first was scared of gally. Gally was like the bully in each school big, cruel, and mean. But as he went through the maze at night and survived he thought Gally was pathetic. In fact he wasn't afraid anymore because he had done the impossible. I wouldn't fear anything if I had survived the impossible. In fact I would stand up to him because I would have felt very confident. Another example of how we know he changed is when he is in the maze. In the maze he was by himself and only helping his fellow Glader Alby who was stung by a griever. Alby was unconscious and couldn't help. Thomas had to help him and he was no longer afraid of what would happen to him. he helped Alby and saved his life. He changed because at first he was scared but then he became confident. All in all Thomas was a very smart character.

RP #1 Baseball Great

            In the incredible book Baseball Great by Tim Green the main character is Josh. The book is all about Josh wanting to be the best baseball player he can be with the help of his dad. his father want Josh to become greater than he was in baseball so that's why he signs his son up for a championship team called the Titans.Only the best of the best get elected to that team, and only the kids who work the hardest. I think the reason that Josh plays th ball hard and tires himself training is because of his father. Josh wants to impress his father and make him proud. All in all Josh is a very unique character.
            I think Josh does what he does because he wants to impress his father and make him proud. For example in the beggining of the book Josh's father is really bummed about not getting to go to The Toronto Blue Jays proffesional baseball team. Josh feels as if he has to make up for his dad so that he can be proud at him. So he trains hard and he becomes a star at his school's baseball team. If my dad were going through that feeling I would also feel the need to impress him. Another example is when Josh's father took him out of the school's baseball team and put him in a championship team. Josh was new and the other kids were tenagers who were bigger and much stronger. He worked his hardest to play his position the best he could. All of this to make his dad proud. I would do the same for my dad if it were me. All in all Josh cares for his father's emotional feelings and wants him to feel proud of himself.

Sumer Reading Post- I am Number Four The Lost Files By Pittacus Lore

         In the very interesting book I am Number Four The Lost Files  by Pittacus Lore there are three story's about 3 aliens that come from a fiffrent world to save earth. Each of them don't have real names they have numbers and they are from a planet called Lorien. Also there is an alien race called Mogadorians they are trying to destroy the Loric which are the numbered kids. One of the story's is about a girl named number 6. All the numbers have these powers called legacys. 6 has the power of invisibilty and to control the weather. In the story I think that 6 and her Guardian who's called Katarina have a special bond. I think so because 6, even though is in danger still risks her life for her when Katarina is supposed to protect her. Also because Katarina takes care of 6 like her own daughter and finaly because they would do anything to help each other. All in all i thought this book as amazing.
         I think number 6 and katarina have a special bond because even though 6 isn't suppose to risk her life for Katarina she still does. For example in the book a Mogadorian surrounds Katarina in her car and she forgot the keys. Instead of number 6 running away she  runs to her room and get's the keys and comes back eben though her life is in danger. Now I don't think I could've done that if i were earth's last hope. Another example is when the Mogadorians invaded their motel room and captured Katarina and tied her up. Even though 6 is out numbered she still tries to save Katarina. I personally wouldn't have the guts to do that.
         I also think 6 and Katarina have a special bond because Katarina takes care of 6 like her own daugther. An example of this would be how in the book number 6's parents were fighting for their planet and died fighting. So the only family that number 6 has is Katarnia. Katarina treats 6 as if she was her own daugther by training her to use her legacys and also protectig her from harms way. Another example is when the Mogs killed number 1 and 2. Katarina protected 6 from harm by moving to a different country for her safety. I think Katarina is a very nice Guardian.
        Finally I think 6 and Katarina have a special bond beacause they would do anything to help one another. For example when Katarina will be high strung from the stress of everything number 6 came and went to comfort her. 6 truely loves Katarina with all of her heart. Also when the Mogadorians captured Katarina and 6 they tortured Katrina and made 6 watch. 6 tried her hardest to help Katarina. Unfortunatley Katarina dies while being tortured but 6 still gets revenge for her death by killing the Mog who killed Katarina.
        All in all, number 6 and Katarina have a special connection. They have that connection because 6 risks her life for Katarina when she isn't suppose to. Also because Katarina takes care of 6 like a daugther and because they always do anything for one another. Lastly i thought that the book was excellent and very captivating.
