The Fall of Five

My reading response for my current independent reading is about  The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore. In this book there is point of views from Four (John), Sam, and Seven (Marina). I really like this multiple point of views because threw out the book you could see how multiple people feel about a certain situation. Another thing I noticed in this book is how the author made the characters grow closer through conflicts. I really liked seeing the characters grow closer because I like seeing developments through series. 

One theme I noticed in this book was the "you keep trying even if you think you can't win." I saw this same theme in the first book too which was I am Number Four.  I think I can incorporate this into my everyday life because I do so many sports. I can incorporate this in sports like cross country and track because I know that I am probably not going to win the race but if keep trying one day I will. I think everyone should try and use this theme in their life. This book was a great overall book that I think just adds another reason why people should read the Lorien Legacy series.

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.
