Reading Reflection Week One

The one book I read over the summer is The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore. This book is based in modern time in two different places. The book is written from two point of views, the two point of views the author uses is Marina and John. I really liked how the author did two point of views because I liked how you could see two point of views who were not in he same country. One strategy I used while reading this was reading 30 pages per day. This strategy really helped me not have to read a bunch of pages on the last week of summer but I could read a couple of pages a day and hang out with friends too. Another strategy I used was that I took notes on the books so I could remember the book at the beginning of the school year.

One theme I noticed in this book is adversity. You notice this multiple times whenever John and Marina face Mogodorians or other forces against them. Another theme I noticed is team ship you see this when John, Six, and Sam work together and feed off each other. This book themes helps the book have deeper meaning and gives you a better understanding of the book.

Katie: If you were the ruler on a deserted island, what would be the first plans to put into action? Why?

     If I was a ruler on a deserted island the first plan I would put into action would be who would be the people in charge of certain things. The different positions there would be is vice-ruler, head of hunting/fishing, head of shelter, head of explorers, and head of escape/rescue. The traits the vice-ruler  is that they must be a leader, an idea of my beliefs of running the island, and have some type of leadership before he/she got stranded. The traits of the head of hunting/fishing is that they must have hunted and fished before, a skilled craftsmen to build weapons and fishing rods, and have leadership traits. The traits of the head of shelter is that they must be a skilled craftsmen so that they can build the shelter and some type of work in construction in their life before being stranded. The traits of the head of explorers is that they must be stealthy, a skilled explorer, and ability to be in charge of a large group. The trait of the head of escape/rescue ...

Story in the Summer Week Two

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did.

Hit and Misses

     I feel like this English year went well for me. I did have some misses with the hits. So one miss I felt I had this year was the literary analysis on Lord of the Flies. I felt like the literary analysis was a miss for me because I was awful at the literary analysis, I really just found the analysis hard and confusing to me. Another miss for me was the research paper. I found the research paper to be awful because it took up all my time for homework and it was hard to do work in other classes.      I had some hits this year. I felt the personal narrative to be a hit of mine because it was a easy paper for me to write because it was based on something personal to me not, something I researched or read. Another hit for me this year where the blogs because I found them to be an easy way to twenty points and a way to improve my writing.
