My favorite book I read this year is Animal Farm. Animal Farm was very thought provoking on how the animals became the very thing they hated "humans" as the story went on. I liked how the book was fast paced but still was able to fit all the changes the animals and their commandments had. It was interesting to see how Squealer changed the Ten Commandments and nobody noticed except for Benjamin the donkey.

There are a couple of big similarities between the Death Weavers and To Kill a Mockingbird. In the world of the five kingdoms there is an oppressive government who rules all. In Maycomb the racist white community holds all of the town's decisions. There is also a great deal of character development. Cole and Scout started out as naive children and now at the end of their books they both can see the world's cruelty.

If I had to interview any character in my book I would interview Cole Randolph. I would ask Cole when he planned to return to earth and leave the five kingdoms. Cold would probably respond that he wouldn't leave until he had to taken down the high shaper and the other tyrants of the five kingdoms. I would then ask Cole if he had been able to heal his shaping ability. Cole would respond that his power has been severed

Right now Cole and his friends are trying to find Destiny and Honor in the spirit world. So far they have encountered many different echoes and spirits who have tried to prevent them from saving Destiny and Honor. While Cole andhis friends are looking for the sisters they find out that Cole and Dalton's classmate Jenna is being held at the temple of still water. So Coleand his friends enlist theyhelp of Sando an echo

Cole Randolph is the main character of the five kingdoms book series. Cole is from earth where he and his friends were kidnapped from a Halloween party and sent to the five kingdoms and sold as slaves. At first all Cole wanted to do was get his friends and leave the five kingdoms. Now Cole has joined the resistance against the Grand Shaper and his regime. Cole has been influenced by his hardships to free thekingdoms

I chose this because it is the fourth book in the five kingdom series. I have read all the previous books in the series and I want to finish the series. I am compelled by this book because it tells the story of people from earth being trapped in another land and trying to get home and save the kingdoms. This book shows that I have become stronger as a reader because the books I'm reading are getting longer and longer

I would not like to be a character in this story because the world is always at war with themselves. I would insert myself as a new character because I would want to be a new character and not a new adaptation of an original character. I would probably be on the side of the Resistance because they are fighting back against the Red Queen and her card army.

The major theme in this book is conflict. Alice is trapped in our world while the Red Queen destroys all of wonderland with her team of elite card soldiers "The Cut". Alice's friends in wonderland such as dodge and the hatter valiantly fight back against Red's cruel leadership. Red rose to power by eliminating the king and queen by killing them and banishing the heir Alice to earth.

So far in the book the story is about a girl named Alice who is a member of the royal heart family. All is well in the kingdom for it will soon be her birthday but the king is on a journey to make a alliance with a neighboring kingdom of a possibility of an attack from Alice's aunt Red the Queen's sister. Red was banished for using dark magic and causing a civil war within the wonderland kingdom.

Nigel is Alastair Grim's assistant/butler. He has a daughter but has to stay away from her because many years ago he was framed for murder and hanged but Alastair Grim brought him back using animus and now everyone thinks Nigel is dead so Nigel is searching for the true killer that framed him for the murder of his former employer Abel Wortley. Nigel is upbeat and cheerful most of the time but he carries a greatsorrow

I think Gregory Funaro wrote this book for people who enjoy books that are fantasy and mystery. The purpose of the book is to read about a fantasy world of hope and wonder to escape from our realistic lives. Gregory Funaro wrote this book for people who liked fantasy books such as Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. He wrote a book that he hopes will capture peoples' imagination and creativity.

The main character of the book is Grubb Grim. I can relate easily to Grubb. Grubb lives with his Father, and his Father's friends and workers on the Odditoriam. He also is on the run from the wicked Prince Nightshade. I can't relate to either of those situations. The only thing I can relate to Grubb with is that he was once a chimney sweep and I once dressed up as a chimney sweep for Halloween.

In Broken Ground the Green Cloaks are battling against Zeriff who is taking the reincarnated Great Beasts from their new bonds and taking control of them. The evertree is continuing to rot because of the virus of an ancient parasite Zerifff has awakened. Zeriff has been using this parasite to take control of other people' spirit animals and the Greencloaks' mind. Conner has been infected with this parasite.

If this story took place from Thorin's perspective the story would be completely different. Different events would be described in s different way. If Thorin narrated the story we would have seen a battle between the dwarfs and the goblins instead of Bilbo's stealing of the ring. The story would show Thorin and his dwarf companions battling their way out of the goblin stronghold and searching for Bilbo after the win.

So far I think the best parts of the book are the final showdown at Hogworts and the investigation in Godric Hollow. These scenes both showed a lot of suspense and action. The worst part of the book was all the character deaths. It seemed like every cool character from the series died. This bothered me the most because Harry died to but he came back while all the most interesting characters died and stayed dead.

Bruno and Shmuel become great friends and one day Bruno comes over to visit Shmuel on his side of the fence. He leaves his clothes behind him on his side of the fence. As he gets under the fence he Shmuel and the rest of the Jews are escorted to a gas chamber. Bruno doesn't understand what is happening as he and the others are gassed. His Family realizes he is dead when they find his boots.

I would not want to be a character in the book I'm reading. The characters in the book are Germans and Jews during World War II. I wouldn't want to be the Germans because they are capturing Jews and putting them in death camps for no reason. I wouldn't want to be the Jews because they are getting chased from their homelands, separated from family, and being killed. It was a dark and scary time for all.

I have so far read the exposition and the conflict. The exposition was that Bruno's family has moved from Berlin to a guard house near a concentration camp. Bruno does not understand why this is happening and is sad and confused. While he was exploring the grounds he meets a boy named Shmuel on the other side of a fence. The conflict is the family being unhappy where they are living and Hitler is coming to visit them

On todays status update I gave the page number on 223 it should be on 233.

I would rate the book I'm reading a 10/10. I would rank it like this because the character evolution of the two Wes Moores is astounding. The book shows the stories of people and neighborhoods we are not accustomed to. It also shows how hard work and dedication can get you out of poverty. I would recommend this book for more serious readers becuse of the dark themes of criminal activity and language.

I am reading a non-fiction book. I could find more information about the Wes' by talking to their former teachers, their friends, and people who encountered them. In the case of the Wes Moore who went to jail I could go to the police station where he was arrested and read his file. I could get information on the Wes Moore who wrote the book by interviewing his old teachers at his military school or interviewing him.

I am reading an informational text. The most important piece of information I have read so far is how these two boys with the same name, both fatherless, and both living a block away from each other in Baltimore could have such diffrent fates. I think this book is important because it shows how our decisions define who we are. I can compare the characters with ones from the outsiders because both are poor, parentless

Harry made it underneath hogwarts where he and his friends needed to pass 2 challenges to get to the sorcerer's stone. The group passed the 3 headed dog, the chess board until finally it was just Harry and Profesor Quirel fighting for the stone. As the battle happened Quirel reveled Volemort was living on his head. Harry got the stone but passed out. When he woke up Dumbledore and Flamel were going destroy thestone

The author's purpose in writing this book was to show us another world. One that is full of Magic. The author wanted to show us an amazing place that could not be in our modern society. People read fantasy books to escape into another society of things we can't possibly do such as fly on a broom or shoot spells from a wand.I think the author is trying to show us a differect world to expand our imagination and creativ
