Week 15 Blogpost Book review of Red Thread Sisters.

For this week's blog post, I'm doing a book report of the "Red Thread Sisters" by Carol Peacock. This book follows the story of a girl named Wen. Wen had stayed in an orphanage in China for 11 years with only Shu Ling her best friend that she can call family. Wen got adopted by an American family and she now gets to have the luxury that she never had in the orphanage. She now doesn't starve, has a lot of clothes, now goes to school and many other more. Wen though never really enjoyed all of these things knowing that Shu Ling back in the orphanage is alone and is not experiencing what she's experiencing right now. Wen looks for ways to be able to get an American family that would adopt Shu Ling. Her real adventure starts here.
     I personally really wasn't planning on reading this book. I'm not really a big fan of books that doesn't really have that much of actions and adventure. I was really expecting that I'll find the book not enjoyable, but I did. I got really engrossed with the book and couldn't put it down that I finished it in about just 3 hours.
    I really like how the author really wrote it based on the character's race. The way the main protagonist looked at things you could say it was on her race's perspective. I also like ow the story was really realistic. Like you know that these things could happen in real life.  I also like how the story went slow and smoothly. Nothing was rushed.
  There is no perfect book. There would always be a flaw. Though I think that the book is good I also think that the plot is kinda cliche. I found it cliche because when I finished reading the book I looked for other books that has similarities, unfortunately I found a lot.
   I recommend this book to everyone. This book circles friendship, family and love therefore this is a perfect book for everyone. I rate this 8/10.

Week 14

This week for our blog post is a Literary Criticism type of blog post. I'm going to talk about the Matched Trilogy specifically about Cassia Reyes. 
   Cassis Reyes lives in a society where everything she does is controlled by the Society. How she thinks is manipulated by the society. She was born to believe in what the Society tells her to believe in.  
    She thought that the Society. She thought that everything that the Society did was reasonable. The Society in her eyes was perfect and flawless, but all of that changed.  
     The Society decides for her who she's going to love, but she resists to. She falls in-love with someone and she starts to see all the Society's flaws. She sees all the Society's wrong doing. Cassia realizes that most of her life has entirely been a lie. She becomes braver, fighting for her love and what she think is right. Rebelling against the Society, she realizes how foolish she has been.

DIVERGENT and HUNGER GAMES. This week I'm doing Literary Compare and Contrast for my blog post this week.

    There are a lot of similarities between two books. The both of the books were made into a movie by the same company:the Lionsgate company. Also, both of the books have female lead characters. Another similarity is that both are dystopian books. It may not exactly be the same, but in both books the people are divided into groups. The Divergent book has a romantic touch to it, the Hunger Games also has a romantic touch to it. Both are trilogies and are also best sellers. In my own opinion, both of the books are favorites of people my age.
    There are a lot of similarities between two books, but there are also a lot of differences. In "The Hunger Games" you can see Peeta, Gael and Katniss in a love triangle relationship while in the "Divergent" book you'll only see Tris and Four in a romantic relationship, there is no third. I also think that there's more suspense and violence in "The Hunger Games". Both the protagonists in both books are fighting the government but in "The Hunger Games" the fight or you could say the revolution is bigger. Katniss is leading more people against the government.
    Both books have a lot of similarities. Thy're both great books, but unique in their own ways. The plot isn't the same. The authors had different feelings and emotions while writing the books.

#12 Pure Emotions

For this week's blog post, we're doing Pure Emotions. I'm reading the book Red Thread Sisters. The protagonist of the story got adopted, so you could say that we have a big difference. Nonetheless our big difference, we still have similarities. When Wen got adopted, she had her family always around her, but she still sometimes felt alone and far away from them. I have a family that are always around me all the time, but I also always feel alone. Wen felt like no one can understand her. I seldom times feel that. I know my parents love me and all, but I can't help to feel alone. I feel like they would never understand me. This might sound really bad, but at times I feel like they don't even know me. They say that they love me, but I feel like they don't. Wen always felt like she was a burden. I also feel like a burden too. Especially every time when they buy me something and also when they pay for my tuition. Even if we eat outside I always feel bad. They're always wasting their money on me and it always makes me feel really bad. I also always felt like an extra, like what Wen always felt.

Origin Week11

This week I'm doing poetry for Origin.


Perfection is perfect.

Never wrong always correct.

Immortality at its best.

Never dying or forever rest.

What is perfection without love?

A freezing hand without a glove.

Forever alive, but dead inside

A lonely groom-less bride

Lives sacrificed for perfection.

Feeling no affection.
Blood-stained hand
Guilt you can't withstand

Love, the greatest thing in Earth.
Love, the reason for near death.
Love, the cause of freedom
Love, the effect of martyrdom.

"Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home–and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.

Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia’s origin–a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever." unknown.

Pia is trying to be perfect. She grew up told by everyone around her that her sole purpose in life is to make other ones like her. She believed that, until she met Eio. She grew feelings for him and then over time she realized that she loves him. The both of them discovered that lives were taken for her to be perfect and that Pia's "family" is trying to kidnap more people to be killed. Together they stop and protected the people. In the process of protecting the people, Eio's dad died just to let Pia escape.

Week 10 Strange Conversations

 This week is Strange Conversations. For my blogpost this week I'm making Poseidon enter Ky's world.
     
     Ky walked by the black stinky Sisyphus river continously moving. He sighed when he saw the fishes that had black streaks on it's body. He sat down a few feet from the river and took out a piece of stone-hard-bread. He was about to take a bite of it when he heard a loud splash that is impossibly loud for just a fish. He immediately stood up and hid behind the tree thinking it could be enemies. He crouched behind the tree and stared at the river with eyes wide opened.
      "Who dare destroy my river?" There in the river a guy standing in the water said not too loud, but enough for Ky to hear, with an obvious anger in his voice. The guy looked like in his middle age with a trident in his hand. Ky crouched more behind the tree just staring at awe at the guy, he wondered how the guy walked in the water and how he got there. Ky decided turn around and tell the society about the guy, but before he could he heard a loud booming voice.
      "Hey you!" Ky ran away without looking back. Ky fell down because of a wave of water hit him. He disbelievingly stood up and turned around. He was shocked to see the guy literally holding water, but kept a blank face.
       "Do you know who did this to the riverr?" The guy asked  with anger on his voice. Ky then realized that the guy was holding what seemed like a big blue-ish fork. He have never seen one
       "Yes I do," Ky answered, he wondered how this guy didn't know that the society did this.
       "Who i-" The guy was about to say something, but he was cut off when he heard a ring. The guy took a shell out of his pocket and placed it in his ears. Ky was completely puzzled how the shell rang and if this guy is crazy talking to a shell.
       "What do you need?......Percy? Yes he is my son.........He's going to defeat you. He is the best demigod after all. Have you not heard of all his adventures... YES I AM! I am coming to get you!" As soon as the call ended he disappeared. Ky stared at where he have been. He shook his head and tried to convince himself that he was sleeping. He pinched himself and sure enough he was sleeping.

Week #9 Wickedpedia

I'm doing flash fiction. There's gonna be a nerd.

"Did I or did I not tell you to stay away from Winnie?' As soon I walk in the library I heard Josh's voice. If you're wondering how I know him, well everyone knows him. He's popular and a big bully. All nerds in this school hate him. He bullies all of the nerds in this school, but except for me and some of my friends. I'm always careful to not get on his way. I look at the clock to see what time it is. Lunch is almost over and I still haven't started my homework that's due next class.
   I don't want to be seen by Josh. I want to graduate high school without being bullied.  I'd rather miss this one homework than be bullied for the whole year.
   I walk outside and head towards the bathroom. I guess I'm gona have to suffere in this stinky cubicle until lunch ends. I take out my books and sstart doigmy homework.
