week two independent novel "A Series Of Unfortunate Events"

I am currently reading a novel called  " A Series Of Unfortunate Events ", its the eleventh book of the series. They're are 3 main characters in this book and all of them are siblings. The parents of these children passed away. This series of events are their adventures running away from the man that wants to take the children for their parents money. The children spend years running away from the man trying to take their money and wealthy things that the family has collected over a number of years.
          
I find this book very interesting because its just children and im inferring that most people think that children cant last long when a grown man is trying to find them, but the kids are still away from the man trying to take them. Thats why I like this book because of the childrens detrmination to not give in even when things get very hard. This one one of many books in this series. There are a total of twelve books in the series. I recommend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi type of books, but for more of a childrens interest group.

post 1 catching fire

My favorite book that I read last year was The Hunger Games Catching Fire, it is a sequel to the Hunger Games series. The main character, Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12 it is a district that mines coal to give to the rest of the districts coal and underground rocks that help with survival. There are a total of 13 different districts that pay tribute to the capital wich is in charge of all the different districts. The capital is very wealthy and all wealthy people live there.
 
          Every year the capital has a annual Hunger Games where all the districts have two people go to the capital and fight other districts to the death in honer of the rebellion that occured therefore making the districts the way they are today.

Final Blog Reflection (characters) Dylan Schauer

Clickhere to view my best blog post   The blog I chose to be my best is my character blog. I met the expectations the best for this blog I think because, I explain the main characters and how they change throughout the story. Also I explain the characters with alot of detail so that the reader can understand them better as of they were real people. Something that helps explain these characters are evidence from the story to explain how they met, where they met, and when they met, I used evidence from the text to explain that.

Two goals that I have for reading/writing next trimester are looking more into a characters life in the story, I think that will help me undertand not only the character, but also the story itself, and how the character interacts in the story with other characters. One thing that I struggled with this trimester on blogging was being determined to blog twice every week. I dont think I was determined enough to blog twice a week. One strength that I had with blogger was that it always got me thinking about my story and keeping me on track to understand the story much better, and making sure I was thinking about the story truly, not just reading it, but talking about it and literally saying it to yourslef. Other people can help you on your blog also, you cant get different perspectives on what you write and understand.
