Insurgent by Veronica Roth part 2

    
     A lot has happened from where I left off on the first response. I learned that the Erudite want to know what is behind the gates outside of Chicago. Beatrice sacrificed herself to Jeannie, an Erudite scientist who created all of the simulations because she didn't want anyone dying anymore. The Dauntless have allied with the fractionless and have planned an attack on the Erudite headquarters. From what I have read so far is that Beatrice is learning how to trust people now but she is still kind of paranoid about trusting the fractionlesss.
    When she told Christina that she was going to go to the Erudite headquarters she had to trust her not to tell Tobias because Christina just forgave Beatrice for killing her boyfriend Will during the simulation attack in the Abnegation. It also showed that she starting to trust people when she said I love you to Tobias because he is the only family she has left because her brother became a traitor. Trusting Marcus, Tobias' father in a mission to find out what is outside of the gates and to send the simulation data to all of the fractions so the Erudite wouldn't be able to find it even if they don't succeed on killing Jeannie.
   Insurgent is a great book but I think that it isn't as good as the first book Divergent because it isn't as detailed and it doesn't have as much action as the first one. The second book is more about how Beatrice matures and her love life with Tobias.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

    The book Insurgent is the sequel to the book Divergent. In the end of the first book Divergent the Erudite had injected a stimulation in to the Dauntless to kill the Abnegation, who are holding secret information that the Erudite wanted to know. Because Beatrice is Divergent, she was able to manipulate the stimulation and try to stop the stimulation at the Dauntless headquarters. Once she stopped the stimulation Beatrice, Tobias, Caleb, and Tobias' father travel to the Amity in search for help. The book Insurgent is about the aftermath of the war and the adventures Beatrice trying to take over the Erudite.
    Through out the the books Beatrice has matured a lot. In the first book she was this shy, little, and now she is involved in a war. Before she was scared of weapons and she didn't know who she was, but now she not afraid of firing a gun into people's heads and seeking revenge on the Erudite who killed her parents and her old fraction. This shows that she matured internally because now she knows who she really is and why she chose Dauntless.
    So far in the book that I have read is  that Beatrice feels guilty for killing one of her best friends and her friends boyfriend and her relation with Tobias. I predict that the fraction less are going to play a big part in the war because they want to make a society with no fractions and they have the biggest group of divergent people.
  

I Am Number Four; the Lost Files of Six

  In the book I Am Number Four; the Lost Files of Six by Pittacus Lore aliens have arrived to earth from Lorien to hide from war with another species of aliens named the Mogadorians. The Lorins have to hide and develope their legacys ( powers) that will help them stop the Mogadorians and take back their planet. Unfortunately there are only ten of them three are dead and seven of them are left. The main character in this book 6 ( the aliens from Lorien have names that go by number) struggles to survive in earth with her cepân (their trainers who help them train for battle and kin of their parents but with no legacys). In the book 6 personality changes.
    One of the major personality changes was the difference between when she was 12 and when she became 18 . When she was 12 she feared the Mogadorins and doubted herself about not being able to stop them. But when she became 18 she doesn't fear them anymore and is willing to kill as much of them that come in her way.
    Another personality change was when they were captured in the Mogadorians cave were they were tortured to death to tell them everything they knew. When she was in her cafe she wanted to die. She knew that she couldn't be a warrior without her legacys and she thrived to see the cepân Katrina. Who then later gets killed when 6 lies and says her number was 8. This changed her personality because after Katrina was killed she became a warrior seeking revenge on the Mogadorians.
   All in all I think that this book is amazing. It is compacted with adventure, science fiction, action, and romance.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret By Brian Selznick

From what I thought the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick was amazing. The book wasn't only compact with words in paragraphs like in ordinary books but in this book it is also compact with very detailed pictures. In the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret the main Hugo is an orphan who lives in the ceiling of a busy Paris railway terminal where he works as a clock keeper. The only way for Hugo to survive is to steal from local shops. Hugo's life was wonderful before living with his father who worked at museum. One day his father was working late at the museum and the guard didn't know he was still in the museum so he locked the doors. Unfortunately the museum caught on fire and Hugo's father was stuck in there. He later moved in with uncle, a drunk who worked as the cock keeper in the terminal with no money and didn't care for Hugo. One day his Uncle drowned in the Seine. Hugo's goal was to fix the automaton his father brought home from the museum one day.

It is amazing how  young boy can live on his own without any parental guidance. Hugo was a very mysterious boy who always stole from the toy shop owned by a man named Georges Méliès, a famous movie producer who later became broke when World War One happened. Hugo often stole the toys to use the parts to fix the automation. When Georges caught him he took the book Hugo has drawn in with specific details of the missing parts the automaton needs. When Georges flipped through the book the immediately became scared and frightened because he was the creator of the automaton. He took the book way from Hugo and wanted to burn it. Georges was an important character in the book because he was a lot like Hugo, both stubborn and curious. Hugo was paranoid about how Georges knew about the automatons and was curious why Georges feared them so much so he decided to find out. He needed someones help and he then befriended Georges god daughter Isabelle Méliès. She too had no parents due to a car accident and was willing to accompany Hugo in his journey.

What I liked about this book so much was that it was filled with pictures that described what was going on.I highly recommend this book because it is unique from other books and it is filled with comedy and adventure.

it's kind of a funny story response two

As Craig lives out his week in the hospital he meets many new people.  He feels accepted in a group of grown men who have mental disorders.  I guess Craig feels more normal among this group of society's misfits than his "friends." Still, Craig feels the need to hide his situation from people at school except for Nia.  I think Craig is as embarrassed of his new friends as he is of himself because he fits in with this weird group of people.  I think Craig is also afraid to admit to himself that has problems and his is slapstick,maybe not as sick as Bob or Humble, but still sick.  He is also afraid because he'worried about growing up and being crazy.

Craig's roommate, Muqtada also has an influence on Craig.  Muqtada never leaves the room and doesn't speak to anyone.  In a way Craig sees a part of him in Muqtada. Muqtada is also afraid.  Muqtada hides notnot only hides from people but he also attempts to hide from life.  Staying in the hospital and being surrounded with all of these adults who aren't really adults scares Craig because he feels one day that can be him.

In the crazy mix of people in the , Craig meets Noelle.  She's also a but crazy.  Craig has an obvious crush on Noelle but he hesitates to act on it because he also has feelings for Nia. Noelle is different from : is because she is much mire self aware and kind of insecure.  Noelle also treats Craig different from how Nia treats Craig.  She doesn't act vulnerable like : is dies.  She is very guarded.

reponse to looking for alaska

In the book Looking for Alaska, the author John Green presents us with an interesting coming of age story.  Miles, the main character, also known as "Pudge", goes to boarding school.  This isn't a drastic change for him because he doesn't really have friends. The greatest change for him is that he is making friends, friends that make him feel special.  The first friend Pudge makes is him room mate who everyone calls "Colonel".  His friendship is the Colonel opens him to a world of trouble making fun and the world of Alaska. 
Pudge has a crush on Alaska through out the book.  It's not just a crush though, he is in love with her.  She is complex and guarded.  Together the Colonel, Alaska, and their friend Takumi, teach Pudge how to be less awkward and come out of his shell.  They plan pranks and spend thanksgiving together. When Alaska dies, Pudge is left with many questions and the already much complicated Alaska Young becomes more complex.  They try to figure out whether it was a suicide or an accident. 
Although there were parts of this book that were very difficult for me to relate to it was still a very good book.  The story is both comedic and tragic.  I think depending on who you are the story means something different to you.  In the end Pudge lets go of Alaska and the questions and mysteries that came with her death.  What I got out of the book is that friendship, real friendship, is life changing.  And with death of love and death of friendship we are left with answers we are responsible to answer ourselves and not stress on the grief of the death itself.

                    
                                                         The Last Olympian
   
     The book The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan is the last sequel in the Percy Jackson & The Olympian series. In the Series Percy Jackson a demigod, son  of Poseidon goes on a series adventures in the world of Greek Mythology. In this book Percy lead his camp, Camp Half- Blood a camp full of demigod into battle with the Titan Kronos and his army. Kronos is the ruler of the Titans, and posses the body of Hermes' son Luke, a demigod. Kronos and his army want revenge on the gods and want to destroy Mount Olympus while the gods are busy fight Typhon, one of the strongest Titans. Percy and his camp travel to the Empire State Building where Mount Olympus is and guard it from Kronos' army.
   Percy and his camp were out numbered by Kronos' army. In the war in Manhattan most of the demigods were defeated. They thought they had know hope and they have failed until Hades, the god of the Underworld was convinced by his son, Nico. Hades was mad at his two brothers Zeus and Poseidon for making his stay in the world of the dead, but he was convinced that if he didn't help in the war the Gods would know longer exist so he and his wife Persephone guard Olympus with the demigods. At the end Poseidon helped and stopped Typhon and the war was over. Percy was granted one wish or he can become a god. Percy declined being a god and wished that the gods must claim their children when they are 13. Percy went back and lived with his mother and he lived his normal life again.
   This book was really good because it was full of action and drama. It was really detailed so it felt like you were actually in the war. One of my favorite part was in the battle of Manhattan where there was a lot of action. The Percy Jackson & the Olympian series is full of adventure, action, drama, comedy, and romance. You should check it out!
