      Divergent by Veronica Roth is about a girl named Tris who lives in a society that is split up into five factions. She finds out her instructor is also Divergent, like her and he guides her through initiation. They figure out that the Erudite are planning to overthrow Abnegation. They put a serum into all the dauntless members and use them to kill the Abnegation. Tris and Four are not affected and together, they destroyed the simulation.      Divergent connects to events in history. It connects to the African slaves. In the book, the Dauntless were under a simulation that makes the Erudite have complete control of their actions. This caused the members of dauntless to do things they didn't want to do.  The dauntless were forced to kill innocent Abnegation members. Like the dauntless, African slaves were forced to do things even if they didn't want to do it.      I really like how the idea of this book is so original. The ideas, c...

The Throne of Fire       The Throne of Fire  by Rick Riordan is about the Kanes who have to save the world. The Egypt god Apophis, chaos, who is rising. The only way to stop Apophis is to revive Ra, ma'at, which is good. To revive Ra they have to find three parts of a scroll, Ra, and his three parts of Ra himself.      The book The Throne of Fire world events by Hitler true to take over the world because Apophis is trying to take over the world. But americans stopped them. The different is that Apophis is a god and Hitler is a person and their armies are humans for Hitler and Apophis demans.      I think the ending battle sexting is important because it shows what little time the Kanes had to stop Apophis because they were at the last gate to their home and the last to defend which is Brookline.

For the past few days of reading Speak, I finally figured out what had happened to Melinda at the party and why she called the cops. The night of the party Melinda and a few of her ex-friends were there and got a little carried away. Only 13 years old.....and drinking, they had no idea what was going on. Fights were happening, arguments, temper, violent actions, assault, things were out of hand. For a whole year Melinda has been keeping these things to herself. According to her,  t he safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. . Now its time for Melinda to "speak" the truth. Her parents decide to go to the guidance  councilor and Principle Principle, talk about it, and leave. What good did that do... Melinda, the one out of 100, actually had her head screwed on. She called the cops at the party, a few people got arrested, some expelled from school, some sent home. She wasn't comfortable with who she was with and where she was so after she called the cops she ran th...

Text to World- Falcon's Egg         It starts off with Falcon finding a dragon egg with no mother around it.  Falcon's Egg , written by Luli Gray is a very interesting book. The book starts off with the main character Falcon, walking around the park and she's spots a dragon egg in the grass and she decides to take it home. She has to take care of the egg because if anything bad happens to the egg, it could crack and die. Then through out the rest of the book, she takes care of the baby dragon and watches it grow up.       Falcon's Egg does relate to the world. When the egg was alone, it felt alone. My favorite rapper, Logic, just came out with an album a week called Everybody. In this album, he talks about people being lost and sad and how it helps them through his music. Just like the egg was lost then found, Logic's fans were lost then found again.      Overall, Falcon's Egg was a pretty good book. I feel like it did...

      The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is a book about a girl who has unexpected change in he sail home to america for the summer and witness some life changing things. She has to choose who to trust and makes the wrong choice. She was indirectly responsible for two murders, and takes the place of the victims because, the captain after committing the murder made the crew work basically double.      This happens in the real world but usually in much smaller scale. Usually people get fired or die, and people have to take there place in the business. It can also be someone is better and is promoted into someone else's seat. Also people witness murders just like her a lot depending on were you live.      There are many similarities however this was the biggest. Others may include boats, alliances, sailors, and double agents. Murder ocurrs many times in this book and has the most to talk about.

Text To World: Matched      The book  Matched  is about a 17 year old girl named Cassie. She lives in a world where the society makes all of everyone choices. when the time came for her to be matched to get married she was so worried she would be with someone she didn't know. Cassie was so happy when she found out she was matched with her best friend, Xander.  She was certain he was the one until, another person, Ky flashed on the screen before it turned black. She doesn't know who she really loves and if she should follow her heart or Society's choices.       Matched  has a lot of text to world connections. One of the text to world connections is how the Society and government controls everyone and their choices. This connects to the world because many governments in other countries control the people. For example, during the Holocaust , Hitler forced all the Jews in Germany to go to concentration camps and they did not have a say i...

The Book Thief      Imagine living in times where there are empty fuel tanks from planes left by their enemies spread throughout Himmel Streets in Germany. That is where Liesel Meminger's is living in the times of war. Her mother was not able to take care of her and her brother died so all of a sudden she is put into a foster home. She vaguely knows how to speak German and can't read so she is given a clean slate and tries to make the best of it. Her foster father had a dept to pay to a dear friend who died, so the family takes in his Jewish son, who will live in the basement, besides the cold winter nights, where he sleeps by the fire. In those times it is very dangerous to be keeping a Jew and the punishment can be death.        The problem in this story is similar and almost exactly the same to what happened in 1939, Nazi Germany. Just like in the book where the children go to Hitler Youth Group , in real times Hitler created the Hitler ...

      Paper Towns , by John Green, is a story about an adventurous girl named Margo, who goes missing, and leaves clues for her neighbor, Quentin, to find her. Quentin recently went into Margo's room, when her parents weren't home, to find clues. He found a book of poems by Walt Whitman, and he found highlighted words in the poem, "Song of Myself." The words that Margo highlighted suggest death, such as, "I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, / If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles." This part in the poem leads Quentin to believe that Margo may have committed suicide. He also does research on what a 'paper town' is, because that is what Margo called Orlando. He found that a paper town could also mean a 'pseudovision,' meaning an abandoned subdivision because they didn't have enough funding to finish building. He searches every abandoned subdivision within three miles of Orlando, and visits them. Quen...

Hitler's Secret       So far in my book,  Hitler's Secret , written by William Osborne, after Otto had smashed the lady's hand in the door she started running after the three kids, so Leni handed Otto a gun brought Anjelika to a different room and Otto shot her leaving her dead in the train room. After Otto had shot the lady they escaped to a nearby town to lay down beneath a tree, Leni and Anjelika were miserably hot so they took a swim, the Adolf Hitler and Hess appeared in their cars so Otto quickly pulled Anjelika and Leni out of the water and they ran under the bridge where the cars were driving over. After the car had left Otto set out to look for somewhere to stay while keeping cover. After Otto had found a barn near the woods and few miles from the village, he got Leni and Anjelika and they planned on staying their until ten o clock at night, after that scene I had stopped reading.       The book Hitler's Secret can be related to the wor...

Memory Maze  Memory Maze connects to a scene that I know from a different book that book is called Divergent and Hunger Games because this is a book it's all about action and adventure and trying to survive in a different society. Hunger Games relate to Memory Maze because they have to go through tough fights to try not to die and all the districts will kill anyone. Divergent is different though because you go through a series of trials and finds out she's divergent and that means she truly can defy all the factions because she's 100 percent divergent and so are some others. Beatrice is like Katnis in a way in the beginning because there both shy and calm in a way and they unleash a newer version of themselves. The games get harder and more brutal people sabotage each other and Snow will do whatever it takes to kill Katnis Everdeen and kill even her beloved ones.                  ...
