Differents and similar between Life of Pi and Law of Life

I think the significant about the similarities between the Life of Pi and The Law of Life was these both stories have the same way on surviving in a tough situation, like cold winter and hot summer. The significant about the different between Life of Pi and The Law of Life was Pi never give up to die, this will make Pi having a mental on surviving. But Old Koskoosh just give up to die, If he never give up and go back to the tribe told them that why weaker must be left out? Weaker still can have a freedom to choose survival. This might make Old man survivial and the tradition might gone.

Connected between MAZE and my life

"It was the last day of September. Blue Canyon was on a week's break between school sessions. Breaks were inherently unstable and dangerous. He would lift weights for an hour in the gym and spend the rest of the time in the library - those were the only two place he felt safe. Those were the place where people minded their own business. In the weight secion of the gym even the most aggressive guys focused on themselves, not on anyone else. The library was intolerably boring unless you were actually going to read. And guys who liked to read weren't the kind look for trouble. Hanging out in the TV room - that was entirely different. Guys blurted things out at the TV, at each other. People got offtended very easily. Fights start over nothing and got bloody fast." This show where the main character weak in physically, and smart in mental. Same as me, whenever I have a Speech, I often stay in a side because I don't want to be pick.

Respond to Reading






I have read the book called "MAX" by James Patterson. This is the second book for THE PROTECTORS. So far I have read about someone or something is decimating ships and sea life off Hawaii's coast, and Max and her flock findind themselves sucked into the Navy's top-secret investigation of the catastrophe. I like this book because it was about six people that has wings rescuing Max's activisit mom from a wicked subterranean enemy.

CONNECTION


I have read the book called MAZE. I have found one quote on the book cover "When your life is a maze, you need wings" I think this quote mean when you confuse on your life, you need something to help you to solve it. Or if you have a problem, you need something or someone help you together to solve the problem. Rick Walker (main character of my book) feels that his life is a maze. He's been bounced around from one foster family to another and is sent to a detention center for hard-core juvenile offenders after committing a petty offense. After he reports corruption at the facility, the boy is forced to flee for his life and ends up in an isolated part of Utah's canyon country, near an area called the Maze. This quote connect it to Life of Pi, where Pi find himself in a lifeboat, he must found a way to land. They are connected by looking for a way to slove their problem. I just start reading the book, it might have more quote later on. I will going to find out soon ^-^.

Blog Assessment #C

I think what will happen to Alex in next year is he would becoming a real spy, a spy that no one can force him to do any thing. Because in the book, M16 force Alex to become a spy, and during the mission I think Alex have like the job of spy. So in next year, he might become a spy. In 5 years Alex might having a similiar life to the normal person, which go to college. Because after being a spy, he might understand how dangerous it was and he doesn't want to be like his uncle(die during his last mission.) There for he might quit the job and go to college. In the next 10 years Alex might find his lover and get married. Because he was the only person in his family, somehow he might get a girlfriend and get married to make the home have more fun.

Blog Assessment #B

This book is about Alex finding the true of his uncle car accident and becoming a fourteen year old spy. This book should be fun to read to the people who likes mission, or to the people that likes spy. I will recommend this book because it is about ADVENTURE, which Alex has facing many problem and solve them all. My favorite part were the part where Alex being a spy and complete the last mission of his uncle's job. I think the weaknesses of this book were how come a 14 year old boy become a spy, don't that kind of dangerous to a kid? The auther should move the age little bit higher.

Stormbreaker

The first book I have read this semster was STORMBREAK.
Stormbreaker is a book that about a fourteen year old Alex Rider finding the truth of his uncle Ian died in a car accident. Alex found bullet holes in his uncle's windshield confirm his suspicions. But nothing prepares him for the new that the uncle he always thought he knew was really a spy for M16 - Britain's top-secret intelligence agency. Recruited to find his uncle's killer and complete Ian's final mission, Alex suddnly finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with no way out. Those three picture was the movie of Stormbreaker, and now I am reading the book, later on I will see the moive too. To see what was the different between book and movie.

Reflection

What I have Reflection this semster is I have found a theme from my English class while I am doing my project. On that day I could work in groups to finish the SPEAK project that we have to found 6 songs that Melinda might want to listen. I found out that there is alway a pastive and negative side on every thing. Like when we going group work, it faster to finish the work but having different point of view will easy to make argument. I have put a lovemeter on my blog, your just have to type your name and another person' name it will what percent of love. Love is not only boyfriend and girlfriend, it could also be family love, or friends love. So you could put your friends name in there too. I want to post this on the blog because I want Melinda to try it so she can have more brave to express her feeling.

Book #3 Genghis Khan

This is the third book I have read on this semster, This book is about the life of Genghis Khan. He born from a small clan and become the most powerful king in Mongol. When Genghis Khan was young he also called Temujin and have a blood brother, Jamuka. Temujin is powerful as his blood brother but a world can't have two king, at the end one of them would be left to rule over all the Mongol tribes. You already know the result because we know Geneghis instead Jamuka. But do you know how Genghis Khan become a powerful ruler? He betray his friend Jamuka and Toghirl. So the theme is in order to be success your goal/dream, you might have to give up something.

Book #2 Twisted

The second book I have read is called Twisted. This book is about Tyler Miller thinks his senior year of high school is going to be a year like no other, but later on he got blamed on taking sexual picture and sexual harassment to a girl. No one trust Tyler didn't do it except his family(not father) and one of his teacher. Then he thought suicide was the only way to solve the problem, but he find out that he has the support of the family and teacher. So he face the problem and wait for the result. Finally the blamed was solve, the police has found the person that take the photo. I think the theme of this book is that there are alway people around you that will going to be your supporter. This book might be the second story for SPEAK.

Compare of Odysseus and my Heros

Odysseus has the power to talk to gods and goddess, most of the heros I have seen was better then Odysseus because they can use their OWN power to solve their OWN problem. When Odysseus has a problem, mostly he only ask help to the god and goddess, he didn't solve the problem by himself. In my hero, he must have quick thinking so then he/she can solve quickly from dangerous.
