Connections (Infinite Crisis)

One thing that be connected in the real world is the security robots. These security robots are used to enforce the law and bring criminals to justice. However, these robots end up using extreme tactics in order to achieve their mission. When finding a criminal, they were searching in an alley. They asked an old man where he was keeping a criminal and the robots beat him. The eventually found the villian and killed him. This can be connected to our world because the government can get paranoid. They can take extreme measures in order to keep security. They put security cameras in houses, they can harm innocent protestors, and they can arrest you for the slightest hint that you may be a criminal.

Reason for Reading (Infinite Crisis)

My independent reading book for this trimester is Infinite Crisis by Greg Cox. I chose this book because it is about the Justice League. It is a 371 page read with great vocabulary that you can find in the story. This book is full of action and some of the best superheroes around. In the book, the Justice League has lost some of its trust from the people on Earth. Wonder Woman had to snap someone's neck because he had control over Superman. This seems like a very interesting plot and something definitely unlike any other superhero movie or comic that I have seen before. I want to see how the book plays out and how this situation is finally resolved. What about a book makes you interested in reading it?

Fahrenheit 451 (Predictions)

In my book, I predict that Guy Montag will try to rebel against the dystopian government that rules over the society that he lives in. The books that he is keeping secret will inspire him to rebel against the government. Judging by the absolute control over the society, they probably have every other citizen convinced that the government is fine how it is. Because of this, Guy lacks support from the other people. Which leads to my prediction that Guy will die in the attempt to overthrow the government. I also believe that Mildred will play a role in Guy's demise. She doesn't show any love or deep feelings for Guy. Also, she is skeptical and a bit scared of the idea of Guy reading. This might cause her to break down and give Guy away to the government. The society will remain unchanged for a long period of time. What about you? What do you think will happen to Guy and the society that he lives in?

Blog Reflection

I chose this blog post where I connected characters because this shows my ability to be creative and make connections with other characters in other books and movies. I connect the character known as Sloan to Vernon Dursley from the Harry Potter series. This is because they are both skeptical and cruel. This shows how I can analyze these characters in order to connect them with each other. Making connections and analyzing characters is exactly what is needed for the blog. I was also able to connect Galbatorix to Voldemort because they both overthrew these people and became rulers themselves.

 One goal that I have next trimester for reading is that I want to read longer lengths and I want to read more often. One area of improvement that I need to work towards is increasing the amount of time that I am able to read. I plan to do this by choosing more interesting books for me.  One goal that I have for writing next trimester is being able to include more figurative language in my writing. I could improve on my diction and figurative speech. I plan to do this by using more of these in real life and other places so that it becomes more natural.

 

In Eragon, the characters live in a cold climate. This impacts the story because the cold climate makes it harder for the traders to arrive in the village. It makes it more desolate and poor. It forces the main characters to do everything in their power to survive. They need to work harder because the cold climate can affect their harvest, making it harder to live.

In my book, I believe that the author uses external conflicts to move the plot along. One conflict is that they are trying to stop hunger and poverty in their village. There is also Eragon trying to decide where to hide his dragon from the rest of the people so that they don't see it. This one is minor, but Eragon also has to find out how he will do his job for Horst in order to pay back for the meat if he has to do his housework. One internal conflict was Eragon debating whether he should keep the stone/egg.

In the book, the character's most authentic moment is when he is spending time with the dragon. It shows that he is a caring person and tries his best to keep an open mind about things. He also cares for his family when he goes hunting in The Spine in order to find meat for his family. He also brings meat back home from the butcher. He helps with chores in the field and in the house.
