Reflection

https://www.blogger.com/blogger.gblogID=6115801201651229954#editor/target=post;postID=6981201268865755437;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=1;src=postname   

This is the link that represents my ability to analyse complex characters and etc... This the best represented because I think this post is the most thought out of and well detailed about the character i chose in my novel. This shows characterization because in my blog explains alot about the character what he has to go through  and just how he impacted the story.

My goal next tri for reading is not to read a book in a week but actually plan out dates and times so then i would not have to rush like I did this tri. With writing i felt like I wasn't too bad at writing but I know i could do better only if i put the effort into it like with reading

The one thing i was struggling with was getting to read my book and actually remembering to do my blog,the one thing I fixed to do my work was to write it in my planner. The one strength of blogging was that I had alot of good blogs ,I posted I feel like i had pretty good blog.



Theme of The Hobbit

The Hobbit’s main theme is Bilbo’s development into a hero, which more broadly represents the development of a common person into a hero with the journey he takes to get the dragon smaug to get the gold back.

Confronting the trolls, escaping with Gollum’s ring, slaying the spider, rescuing the dwarves in Mirkwood, and speaking face-to-face with the great dragon Smaug all provide Bilbo with opportunities to test his resolve. As he builds confidence and resourcefulness, Bilbo emerges as a true hero.

Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit

The hero of the story. Bilbo is a hobbit, “a short, human-like person.” Commonsensical and fastidious, Bilbo leads a quiet life in his comfortable hole at Bag End and, like most hobbits, is content to stay at home. But Bilbo possesses a great deal of untapped inner strength, and when the wizard Gandalf persuades Bilbo to join a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their gold from a dragon.

 Bilbo ends up playing a crucial role as the company’s burglar. Bilbo’s adventures awaken his courage and initiative and prove his relentless ability to do what needs to be done.

The Hobbit Plot

Bilbo Baggins lives a quiet, peaceful life in his comfortable hole at Bag End. Bilbo lives in a hole because he is a hobbit—one of a race of small, plump people about half the size of humans, with furry toes and a great love of good food and drink and he tries to go on a adventure with 13 dwarfs to get the treasure that was stolen by the dragon smaug.

The dwarves are very skeptical about Gandalf’s choice for a burglar, and Bilbo is terrified to leave his comfortable life to seek adventure. But Gandalf assures both Bilbo and the dwarves that there is more to the little hobbit than meets the eye this what makes them keep going on the adventure to not give up.


Now I am reading the book that is called The Blind Side by Micheal Lewis. This book is all about a poor teeneager that has to live in a poor nehiborhood or basically the wrong part of town. With his mom in Jail as a kid he had no mother,and no father to look after him. Right now im at the part where he is living with his uncle,aunt,cousin and his brother and there trying to find him to a good school for success.

Michal Ohar was known of just being a huge strong and big guy but he was very poor and basically had no home. But in the book it says that he would never give up on his future and something good would happen to him if he kept moving the right way which did happen later on.

A breif summary of the book im reading thats called the eleventh plague is about how whole world became a wasteland with all of the power going out, houses and buildings being abandoned, and people dying left and right. Stephen and his dad use all of their effort to do whatever it takes to stay alive. One day, Stephen's dad sustains a head injury that puts him in a coma. Stephen then has to look out for himself and his dad who is now helpless and in a coma.

This book was a really good read because there was alot of dramatic event that had taken place and there was alot of drama  that they had to figure out as a team and move oin to stay alive.
A teenager named Stephen Quinn grew up as a salvager in wasteland once known as the United States. A disease that the inhabitants of earth call The Eleventh Plague, or P11 for short, spread throughout the world causing chaos and killing millions. And its amazing and breath taking on how they get through staying alive from the plague and how they react with eachother with confliccts or obsticles in there journey to stay alive .
I really loved The Eleveth Plague because of the cautious, quiet, and understanding protagonist and all the stages Stephen goes through. He changes from being cautious and closed to trusting those around him.Although he passed on early in the book, his grandpa’s strict voice remains in Stephen’s head which is how Stephen makes his decisions. Another charcater Settler’s Landing, Jenny Tan, is Asien. Everyone calls her a traitor and, she is just like Stephen at the beginning,quiet and untrusting, but strong and is a big influence on Stephen. 

I think they need tyo work as a team because then they would be way more successful trying ot stay alive in the plague.
