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.

  1. I also read this book. I agree with you about the multiple points of view, I liked that the reader did this. Also, good insight about the theme.

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. 

Strengths and Challenges

     One of my strengths is that I can make personal connections within my writing. This strength helped me in my personal narrative and connect my life. Another strength of mine is being able to write short response to a topic. This strength helps me in other classes besides English because I use this strength in history.       One of my challenges is that I am awful with grammar. I tried to fix this challenge over the year and it improved a little bit, but I still had to practice on it and use Grammarly a lot. Another challenge of mine was researching a topic then writing about it. I really had trouble with the research project because of this challenge 

As you get older what have you found success in?

     I found success in multiple things as I got older. One subject in school I have found success in is Social Studies. I think I found success in Social Studies because I find it interesting and like learning the subject. I also found success in running cross country. When I started cross country in seventh grade I was awful at it. In eight grade I wasn't much better. But now I am breaking 11:56 in the two mile and on the ninth grade and under team. Cross country has made me a great person and I hope I do it throughout my whole high school year.     Another thing I found success in is lacrosse. Lacrosse is a really challenging sport and that what I like about it. Lacrosse always challenges me to do my best. I have found success in this by being on a varsity team and being on a select lacrosse team. These things are some of the things I have found success in.
