Legend has the parallel stories of June and Day. Each chapter, the perspective changes between the two of them. They recently met up and the story is still chronological, even though the two people have separate stories.

One important minor character is Tess. She is very loyal to Day. Before Tess came, Day was lonely doing all of the crimes by himself and needed support from a friend. When he found Tess, she helped him a lot by giving him more of a point to life. He knew that she didn’t have a chance at life without him. It turns out that Tess, the girl Day found in the dump, has helped him a lot both mentally and physically.

When Katniss and her team is in the underground system under the Capitol, evil is chasing them. President Snow sent Mutts to chase them underground. After resting, Katniss wakes up hearing the Mutts hissing. They are then chased by the Mutts and 4 or 5 people die because of them. The author used the symbolism of underground to add more tension to the book. Tension was built up underground, making it more suspenseful.

I found the tone very serious and grim. In the other Hunger Games books, the tone is more hopeful, but now there are a lot of deaths and the tone has worsened. I can tell the tone when Suzanne Collins describes the deaths and Katniss’s feelings. The author makes the deaths very gruesome and gives Katniss a very negative attitude. Katniss also blames herself for everyone’s death, giving the book a serious tone.

I think that in Mockingjay, Katniss is audacious. She is willing to take extreme risks to kill President Snow. For example, she was willing to turn herself in for just the slightest chance. She thought that maybe the president would have a public execution where Gale would be able to shoot him. Even though there were so many ways that she would die without President Snow dying, she was still willing to take the risk.

I wonder what Suzanne Collins thinks the symbolism behind the mockingjay is. I’m thinking that it might be that it was a fault of the Capitol that mockingjays were made and also a fault that they gave Katniss so much power when she won the games. Maybe because of the power that the victors are given, they are able to fight the Capitol. Just because they have this superiority, they don’t immediately like the Capitol.

In Mockingjay, I think that the inciting incident is when Katniss agrees to be the mockingjay. Without this, there would be no big connected fight against the Capitol. The people in the districts would not know that Katniss survived and the Capitol would have an easy way to win the war and continue their rule by destroying district 12 as punishment.

I think that the Hunger Games is a mix between The Quest and Overcoming The Monster. Going to the games is close to the quest, attempting to survive and win a nice life in the Victor’s Village. It is also Overcoming The Monster because Peeta and Katniss have to force the evil president to allow both of them to live. They accomplish this by pretending they are in love and make the Capitol adjust the rules.

As of what I’ve read so far, this book reminds me of another short story that I read. I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about a community where each year, everyone gets a card. There a one card with a black dot, and whoever gets it must be killed painfully by the other civilians using rocks. This reminds me of the hunger games because it takes away many people and there is only one survivor.

I think that Danny is the outcast because he has different feelings and beliefs than his family. Also, at the end of the book, Danny ran away, meaning that he is even more of an outcast. Danny is also left out of many things, does not have any friends, yet still is part of the Australian society.

When Emily gets away from the voice, she is able to return to the Earth and solve the problems she caused. First, she is able to destroy the voice’s rule over the elves, solving many of her problems later on in the book. Without the fake king, the elf army is under control, leaving Earth to finally settle. Emily getting away is a big turning point for her because it allowed her to be under her own control.

My little brother reminds me of Emily. He is out of control in anger, but he can get himself back under control just like Emily. This reminds me of a book called “animal farm” because the world is flipped over into different hands with a lot of change in both of them.

In 2011, the Sorensons go all over the world to fight the SOS. They tried to stop the opening of Zzyzx as a family.

The setting of the book is on Earth, because it takes place all across the world including the U.S.A., Turkey, and an island in the Indian Ocean. The time is a few years ago, because that is when it was published. When the Sorensons along with Grandma Larsen attempted to save their friends from the Sphinx, they were in a magical preserve named Living Mirage in Eastern Turkey. There was no specific time of this event.

In Growin Money, there is no main character. This is because it is a non-fiction book without a story line. The book is about investing and gives suggestions on how you should invest as different types of people at different ages. There is no character narrating the book, so there are no characters.

I think that this book is for kids from 10-13. The language of the book teaches all of the vocabulary words you need to know if you are to invest. It gives examples of what might happen in certain investments and how likely it would be for that to happen, so it can help kids know how to invest with a high chance of success. Also, the title says “A Complete Investing Guide For Kids,” so I think it is fit for this age.

Growing Money does not have a conflict because it is a non-fiction book without a story line. Because it doesn’t have a story line, it can not have conflict. Also, it’s non-fiction, which means that it would only have conflict if it was a biography or about history, and it is neither of those. Growing Money is a guide for how you should go about investing and, at least so far, does not have a story.

The Illustrated Man has many different short stories, so it has many genres. All of the stories are based in fantasy/science fiction. Some of the stories are historical fiction. There were a few stories that had the plot in history, but it was set in the future. There were also some dystopian stories.

The antagonist in “The Long Rain,” is the weather on Venus. It is always raining. At first, there were 4 people. One man was killed by an lightning. After they found that the first sun dome was destroyed, one man went crazy. While walking the next sun dome, one of the remaining men knew he was going crazy and shot himself. Only 1 of the original 6 men lived and got to the sun dome because of the weather on Venus.

The protagonist in “The Other Foot,” the protagonist is Hattie. Hattie wants to help the white people. She does this by asking the white people about the places where bad things happened to the people there and if they got destroyed by the war. Because everything was destroyed by the war, they were all destroyed which made the blacks feel better. Hattie is a woman living on Mars. She is married to a man named Willie.

As I am reading, I am constantly asking myself questions. For example, at the end of “The Veldt,” when George and Lydia Hadley got eaten by the lions, I was wondering how that happened because George said they were artificial. Also, after George turned off the house, he was sucked up the flue to his room. I didn’t understand why he was able to be sucked into the flue with the house turned off.

The Illustrated Man was given to me as a present. I had just read Fahrenheit 451 which is by the same auther. I just started the book and I’m very excited about the rest.
