In the story “The Time Machine,” I wouldn’t want to have the same experience that the time traveler had experienced.

I wouldn’t want to have that experience because in the future it was very scary and spooky.

In the future there are little people who are called “Elois”; they don’t do much in their lives. There are also “Morlocks”; they live underground and in dark places.

This proves that the future is boring and dangerous. I wouldn’t want to live in the future where everyone is creepy, boring, and dangerous.

I also wouldn’t want to have this scary experience because the time traveler almost got stuck in the future and couldn’t go back to his current life. If the Time Machine got stuck while I was in the future, I would get scared because I wouldn’t want to live in that world with the Eloi and Morlocks.

This proves why I would not want to have the experience that the time traveler from the book “The Time Machine” has had.

I'm kind of having mixed feelings because there's many experiences to this book and I feel like I would and wouldn't like to be involved. One of the coolest things is that you can travel to the future using the machine. I would love to participate in this activity because I get to see what's gonna happen in my future life, how my life is gonna turn out, and more! The bad part is that there is a ton of horrid creatures in this book like the Morlocks and I'm not a big fan of horror so for this one I'll pass. That's why I have mixed feelings because as much as I love traveling to the future, I wouldn't like to have to deal with such beast. Another really scary thing is that here was a lot of darkness in the book and I'm kind of afraid of the dark. I also don't know if I'm a defensive person like how I'm supposed to fight off the Morlocks with weapons. But at least there's peace after!

I would not enjoy the experiences in Chinese Cinderella. Right off the bat, as you are introduced in the book, the very existence and birth of the narrator is shamed upon, with siblings exacerbating how they are to blame for their mother's death during childbirth. Under no circumstances would I want to go through this level of child neglection for something that isn't even my fault. You can even see how traumatizing this must be for the narrator, as when siblings are throwing insults and blame at her in the story, she will simply ignore it and seem unphased, a sign of coping mechanisms to protect one's mentality. Later, her closest friend, an innocent little duckling whom she cared for dearly, watered, fed, a duckling that made her feel safe in a world which did not want her. The duckling was then gruesomely torn apart in front of her eyes by the family dog. One situation that startled me a lot was how she was shipped away from the only people that made her feel wanted, the friends she had at school, 2 times, across the country to boarding schools. The first time, she was sent to a school that was going to be captured by the approaching communist army, with direct orders to withhold any ingoing or outgoing mail to the family by her crooked aunt, which I assumed was a way for the aunt to cut her off from the family, like having her killed or imprisoned by the communists. So she tried to kill her in a way (the aunt). She was only alive because a different aunt rescued her from the approaching communists and took her to Hong Kong. At the second boarding school which she was shipped off to, she was shamed daily for her lack of proper clothing and an appearance that would make you think she had no self-respect. I would not want to be in her situation, being unwanted, taken away from my friends, not allowed to engage in activities with friends, (birthdays, going to a friend's house, driving to school with friends), watching my beloved pet die in front of me courtesy of my siblings, and being blamed for the death of my own mother.

I would not be interested in going through the experience Lina went through. Many of the NKVD officers treated the Lithuanians extremely poorly. Such as the officers disgustingly touching Linas breast in the bath house. They would dehumanize these innocent people, and would label them "criminals" just because of their ethnicity. The Lithuanian people would be put on a train for months at a time with barely any food or basic needs. The officers would spit on them as if they were literal pieces of garbage. After working all day, they only get 1 or 2 small slices of bread. These innocent people would wake up very early in the morning, work all day with basically no food or water and go back to bed very late at night in the bitter cold. As well as constantly being around diseases and death. Lina and her family had to be around a rotting newborn in an all ready crowded train for all most a week. The mother of the newborn baby, Oma, reacted how any mother would act if their baby died. She was then later executed by getting shot in the head for her "actions".

Most of the victims who were forced labor open were separated from their families. This is very unfortunate because some young children would get separated from their loving mothers just because they are the opposite gender. I would not want to be seperated from my father like Lina did.

The harsh conditions of the environment led many people to selfishness or insanity. For example, the woman on the train hogging the pee hole only for her and her daughters, and the bald man on the train saying how he would rather get shot now than to be tortured by the NKVD officers at the different work places.

Overall, reliving what Lina did would be a nightmare in real life. The people who lost their lives in these events will be greatly missed. I hope this tragedy teaches us how to live better lives and to be kinder humans.

The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells. The Time Traveller, a scientist and inventor, tells the story of his journey through time to the year 802,701, where he meets the Eloi, an innocent, childlike race of humans living in an apparently utopian society. The Time Traveller learns through his experiences that the Eloi seem gentle but turn out to be weak beings who need protection. A mysterious second species of human called the Morlocks maintains the functioning of the Eloi world from underground. After the Time Traveller befriends an Eloi woman named Weena, the Morlocks steal his time machine. When the Time Traveller tried to convince them to give it back to him, he was caught in a forest fire and lost Weena before he was able to escape.
The Time Traveller develops a hypothesis that Earth will collide with the sun and ventures into the future to witness the outcome. After his journey, he reports about a dying planet illuminated by a dim red sun and his steamboat underwater expedition. He finds strange giant crabs, but few other signs of life. He eventually returns to his own time period and relates the entire story to his friends, but none of them believe him. He soon disappears again, as he leaves on another trip in his time machine, and is never seen again.

This book doesn't really remind me of a book that I have read before but the format of this book is just like the format of Refugee. The reason that I think they have a similar format is because both of them switch characters every chapter so this means that we can get the other characters point of view. This makes the story more interesting.

Most books that I have read do not have this format and in my opinion I think this is the best format for a book like this where there are two main characters. In “Flipped” we can see how differently people think about the same things. For example in “Flipped” Juli found out that the Loski family was not taking the eggs from Juli instead they threw it away.

These are all the things that I think are similar in both books and these really make them stand out from other books. Personally, I like this type of format better than most books.

To be honest, I would not want to be in a situation in the book . First, there is a girl named Maddie. In the beginning, we see that there is a party at the White House. And there is a boy named Logan and there is a party for him. And then suddenly, Russians come in and raid the White House. And both Logan and Maddie are frightened about what’s happening. In the book it says there were gunshots and blood. Some things no 10 year old should see in real life. If I was in that I would also be extremely terrified. After the incident, 6 years later, Maddie moves to Alaska. Now when I head Alaska, the first thing that comes to my mind is cold. Alaska is a VERY cold state and it is very north. Maddie is living in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. And there is also a lot of forests there too. Maddie needs to survive this. She has a lot of things to do. Like chop woods or sharpen the wood with a chainsaw. Someone also has to replace the shingles by crawling up. Imagine if this was in the winter where snow storms can be very severe in Alaska. I wouldn’t want to be in this situation either. Meanwhile for Logan, he was living somewhere in Virginia. And then he was kidnapped by Russians. I also definitely would not want to be in this situation. To even think about kidnapping kind of puts a lot of things up my mind. The only way Maddie could talk to Logan is by writing letters. And plus Alaska is super far from the other states in USA. And Logan is barely responding. And she wants to make him pay for what he did. But she has to save Logan first. The situation of Alaska reminds me of a time when I watched a movie of 2 men walking to their ship in super cold weather. And the kidnapping situation also reminds me of watching a movie where a boy is kidnapped and has to find a way to survive and escape. This is why I would not want to be in a situation like Maddie or Logan.

To be honest, I definitely would not want to be in the situation Maddie or Logan would be in. In the first part, we see a party going on at Logan’s. Then they are getting invaded and raided by Russians. There are all sorts of gunshots, blood, and more things no 10 year old should ever see. If I was in that situation, I would be extremely scared and fear for my life. Some things I can connect to this is I saw a movie before where there was a war and there are houses being invaded and there was total destruction. Another thing that happened in this book was Maddie living in Alaska. In Alaska, it is very COLD. It is cold because of how north it is in. Maddie is living in a cabin completely in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. Maddie also needs a lot of survival strategy. She has to haul the wood, a chainsaw to sharpen, and someone has to even crawl on the roof and replace the shingles. So Maddie’s life is very full and that is including her pile of school homework. If I was in this situation, then I would try my best on doing all this work. But like I said earlier, Alaska is extremely cold. So the winter can make work like this much more challenging. Logan on the other hand was kidnapped. The Russians had kidnapped Logan. And since Maddie and Logan really care about each other, Maddie wants to save Logan. But the thing was Maddie and Logan had not talked for a super long time. Almost 6 years. And the only way Maddie could talk to Logan was writing letters. And Maddie never really heard of Logan ever since she moved to Alaska. And Maddie wanted to make Logan pay for what he did. But she has to save Logan first. This book is definitely interesting to read. But there are also many more reasons why I wouldn’t want to have Maddie’s experiences. And for Logan, I definitely would not want to be kidnapped by someone I don’t even know. To even think about it can be having some thoughts in your mind. I can relate to this by watching a movie of a boy being kidnapped and he needs to find a way to survive. And lastly, for Maddie, the cabin in Alaska is pretty small. To even take a bath, you would need to heat up water. So yes, these are some of the reasons why I wouldn’t want to be in situations for both Maddie and Logan because experiences like these can be horrifying to anyone pretty much and that is why.

I wouldn’t like to have the experiences in the book because when time traveling, there are possibilities of bad things happening, like maybe getting stuck in a certain era or experiencing trauma or even death. For example, when the time machine broke, the time traveler had to figure out how to fix the machine in order to continue. Luckily, he was able to, but if he couldn’t, then he would have been stuck and wouldn’t be able to go home or time travel to different places. Also, the time traveler met different kinds of people. Some good some bad. I think the idea of time traveling is cool but it isn’t something I would want to do. If anything bad happened, I would miss my family and friends, so I don’t think it is worth it.

The book I chose was “Flipped” it was such an amazing book to read, and a great page turner. While reading it, it did remind me of the book “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. They’re not directly related by the same author but share same key similarities. Such as both are based off first loves, high school experiences, self-expression, and the hard challenges the kids had to face. The book flipped shares the boy and girls’ point of view, and like Bryce’s point of view, Leo in the book “Stargirl” acks the same way, when he first sees Susan. Both Leo and Bryce are shocked to see how both girls act because of their quirkiness and how they both don’t care about anyone’s opinions. Bryce first sees Julie as the weird kid with a free spirit but then sees her at the end of the book as a person he is head over heels for. And the same with Leo, Leo finds Susan to be a pain but realizes that she is different but that’s what makes her unique and at the end sees her as this extraordinary person he is in love with. That’s why “Flipped” reminded me of “Stargirl”.

Would I be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Well, my short answer for this question is no. But my long answer is also no, well there’s more but I’ll get to that. Chapter one was cute i really thought the whole plot of the book was going to be like that, two best friends one of them being the presidents son and the other being a secret service agents daughter. I wish I knew it would only go down hill from there, i mean already in chapter 2 we have Russian spy’s breaking into the White House and trying to kidnap the First Lady. Then poor Maddie has to watch her dad risk his life, then has to move to Alaska and never gets to see her childhood friend again, so she writes him but he never writes back. Logan has it pretty hard to i mean he did have to save his mom’s life and get grassed by a bullet in the process, even if he all he had to do was push a button. Plus his only friend he had moved all the way to Alaska, and he grew up to have some pretty major daddy issues. I really don’t even think that’s bad compared to what was about to happen because even if someone came up to me and told me that my childhood best friend who hasn’t written back to me in six years randomly showed up to my house in the middle of nowhere and we would get kidnapped by a Russian, see now i would think you were pulling some sick prank. Not to mention its so so cold and you’re walking with a Russian spy by your side who can shoot you at any moment. Logan had to walk with the guy who he thought killed his best friend but she wasn’t really dead? I don’t know just from that experience alone i would need 4 years of back to back therapy. But then she acts if she has not just got hit in the head with the back of a gun and passed out, but instead acts like the sassy teen she is. I mean thank god they are smart and they manage to escape and share a cute little moment but after that i had to read about the biggest plot twist in history or i guess in your questions case experience the biggest plot twist. Like your telling me the ranger that got shot by the man who was holding us hostage who we managed to escape from but then found us is really not that bad of a guy but the guy who he shot was! Then you find out that Russias biggest thug had been after your dad for six years because your dad killed is son. Then you save your dad and kill Russia’s biggest thug in the process.  I mean i don’t know about you but that doesn’t seem like a fun experience to me. I mean a least in the end there were some sweet moments like logan and Maddie’s finally being together,but my answer on if i would be interested in having an experience like that is still gonna be a no.

would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? why or why not

I loved this book, I am not gonna sit here and lie and say that I love reading and name all these books I haven’t even read, I don’t read a lot, and I was really not looking forward to reading, but once I started reading this book I couldn’t stop. it felt like I was binge watching a mini series that everyone wish had multiple seasons. This book was filled with suspense, action, humor, and romance. When I was reading this book I felt like I was in the book. I felt like I was a character in it, thats why I chose this prompt. While I do want to think that I am some type of cool hero that could do everything that Maddie Manchester did, but unfortunately I have to be realistic and realize how un athletic and scared I am. Lol. Maddie Manchester managed to stay alive after suffering from severe burns, a gunshot wound in the shoulder, damage from falling off a cliff, leg injuries caused from a bear trap, and hypothermia due to the amount of exposure to the brutal weather. I’d be dead from fear the moment I got captured. Maddie Manchester had something I don’t have, bravery. This book’s story was crazy, and what makes it crazier is that it could happen in real life, although it is fiction a lot of factors added to this book are very realistic and true to what could happen in real life. In conclusion, I personally do not think I would be able to experience the things in this book and am not interested in experiencing it either.

I would not be interested in having the same connections as Natalie had in the book. I would not wanna waste eggs for some egg drop competition to win some money. I would not wanna see my mother with depression. I would also not wanna break into my mom’s old job and get some seed oh and did I also mention that I did not wanna get caught by a security guard that’s name is called Joe. I would not also Want to go to some therapist that I didn’t sing Up for but my dad my dad did for me and drove me there. This is why I would not wanna have the same connections as Natalie had in the book.

The book Flipped does indeed remind me of another book I've read. The book is called Stargirl. These books both share young love relationships, and they both have somewhat similar characters.

In the book Stargirl, one of the main characters, whose name is Stargirl, is kind and different from everyone else at school. In the book Flipped, a girl named Juli, who is also one of the main characters, is also caring and different from the rest of the school because of her love for nature. Both of these characters didn’t care about fitting in because they were unique in their own ways.

The book Stargirl is about a girl, “Stargirl,” who is a new student at a high school. Everyone thinks she is different because of her unique personality, her unusual clothes, and her carrying a pet rat and her ukulele around everywhere. A boy named Leo, the narrator of the book, started to like Stargirl the moment she stepped foot into school. Stargirl also likes Leo, and she gives him a lot of gifts. So they started dating. She also told everyone that she likes Leo by writing it on a bulletin board. Leo feels embarrassed because no one knew why he liked her, so that is when their relationship came to an end. Years later they still think about each other.

The book Flipped is about a boy named Bryce that moves to a new school in the second grade, and his new house is right across the street from Juli’s house. Juli and Bryce are the two narrators in this book. The day Bryce moved in, Juli was obsessed with him. Juli didn't really have any other friends, so she thought that Bryce could be her friend. She has been following Bryce around since second grade. Asking to play outside every day. Now they are in seventh grade, and she is in the same class as him and sitting right behind him. Bryce gets really annoyed and asks one of the popular girls out on a date, just so Juli can leave him alone. After Bryce and the girl broke up, Juli was back to being crazy about him. Juli has been giving Bryce eggs ever since her chickens have been laying them. Bryce’s family doesn't like eggs because they think that they will get salmonella poisoning because Julie's backyard is so gross and messy. But he did not want to tell her that. So he has been throwing them out ever since, but his family doesn't know. Juli found out what was happening, and then she started ignoring Bryce. Bryce felt so bad after that. Juli started thinking that her love for Bryce was wrong. While on the other hand, Bryce started liking Juli. At the end of the story, Juli knew that Bryce was a good person after all.

In conclusion, the book Flipped reminds me of the book Stargirl because of their similar themes and characters. Both girls are outcasts, and the boys started to like them in the end.

This book does not remind me of another book because I don’t believe that I have ever read something so strong or shocking. An example of a time when I was shocked was when Maddie, Logan, and Stefan were crossing the unstable rope bridge to get to the other side of the river. When I learned that Maddie had gone there in advance to break and damage some of the planks on the bridge I was blown away by how she not only had enough time to do that, she also still had enough time to get to Logan and Stefan before they made it to the rope bridge. One other thing that blew my mind was the fact that she also remembered after all that time she still knew the planks that weren’t damaged on the bridge.

This book may not be exactly like some others I’ve read but it has some elements in it that are similar to other books. One of the elements that is similar is in the Harry Potter series there is a group of people just like in Not If I Save You First that are trying to spread bad to the world, except in Harry Potter they have magic. Both books relate to having people who want to spread bad to the world and eventually get stopped.

This book is like nothing I've ever read before. It was a shocking and exciting story. Although every story has an end, this one will stick with me.

I would be interested in having the kind experiences that the main character has in the book. In the book the main character also known as the time traveler goes forward in time using a time machine. Then the time machine disappears and he goes on a long adventure discovering things about the future. I would want the same experience as him because I want to see what the future is like and how people live. I would also want to know if humans were still living or if other creatures would be the dominant species. In parts of the boom the time traveller is attacked by certain creatures. I would not want this to happen to me because that is very unpleasant.

The person that relate to me is the main character from Chinese Cinderella because she cares about her family too, and she protects her little sister when she was getting hit. I did the same thing with was my younger cousin. Another thing I could relate from the main character of Chinese Cinderella is when she gets mad when people betray her because her sister betrayed her siblings and her for the stepmom. At this time it was the America and Japan war. They were happy that America won the war they were talking about the story . They were talking about a book and she asked if she can take. the 4 of them always stay behind on trips and her brothers are having crushes and staying out late with their friends and the brothers are asking for better food so you’re not allowed to eat eggs. the brother want an omelette. the eggs are only for the first floor the end instead of late playing games with her friends. they’re playing the hero or villain. The brother says to never trust a sister and be a cold fish and to never say anything and another thing, he said to not hurt anyone so they don’t hurt you. A Lady that was friends with their mom, and she had five step kids. The kid got ducks and she named it pelt . Pelt stayed with her when her brother pushed her. Her family‘s pet bit her and she started bleeding. Her aunt was comforting her saying when she gets older she might be a president of a bank . Their dog killed the duck and now she’s going to bury him and she cried when she was burying him. Her sister is getting married to a 32 year old. The main character did not want to get married at 17 when she get older. The sister confessed that she took the necklace. The stepmom let her keep her.she went to a friend party and she was playing dolls and with her dog . She found her dollar and she was saying bad stuff about her and her dad wiped her so much. Tomorrow there choosing class president. people were giving stuff and she had nothing to give. her friend wanted her to be a class president. Her aunt was worried for her.They both won the class president. Her parents think that she’s a disappointment. She gets in and she feels less happy . her friends came to her house and she was scared because her stepmom would get mad her stepmom slapped her again and told them to get out. her nose started to leave because her stepmom hit her hard. Her stepmom said that she’s nothing was without her dad. they were going to put her in an orphanage.they were going to put her in an orphanage. Her aunt was trying to comfort her. She was saying that she didn’t sent her letters. She was going to boarding school.

I wouldn’t like to be in the same situations as the characters in the book. In the book they had to get to safety as there was shooting at the White house and Logan's mom and dad were hiding which for me would be really scary if i was hiding from shooters. They were waiting for more Secret Service to arrive at the White house and they could probably not hear anyone because there were also sirens screaming and other people screaming which would be really loud in such a small space and a lot of screaming always makes me scared because someone could be hurt. Maddie also had to watch her father run from the guns firing which i would hate to see happen if i was Maddie. There was blood streaking across the floor and no one could help him. If I was in the same situation watching my father rush to safety and he was hurt I would try to rush out to help him but I also wouldn’t because of the stuff that is going on outside. Finally the rest of the Secret Service came and the Russians were surrounded by them and had no way of getting out. The Secret Service arriving could make me a little bit more scared as I would hear more gunshots. So that shows why i would not want to be in the same situations as the Logan and Maddie and other characters

I would not be interested in experiencing anything that happened in Not If I Save You First because the things that are experienced are not quite appealing. Also, everything that the characters experience could really effect your mental health. For example, when Maddie and Logan are kidnapped by a ticked-off Russian. I wouldn't want to experience that because my life would be on the line and my anxiety levels will build up. It would also affect my mental health because I will see things that could be quite disturbing and I won't be able to get those visions out of my head. Also earlier in the story Maddie moves away to Alaska so that meant that Logan was going to lose his best friend. So, I wouldn't want to experience that myself because my best friend means a lot to me and is a huge part of my life. So losing them would mean I was losing a piece of myself. Which is why I would not like to experience anything that happened in Not If I Saved You First.

I definitely wouldn’t be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book. There’s a lot of stuff that happens in Chinese Cinderella, majorly happening to Adeline/Wu Mei (the main character of the book) which is literally almost always bad. There are a few exceptions, like when Wu Mei got PLT (Precious Little Treasure) as a pet and when she became friends with Wun Chun-mei. I’m sure there were a few other good experiences that happened, but these were the main experiences that I could remember. But then again, most of the experiences that happen in the book are just sad and something that I would not want to go through. For example, Wu Mei gets kicked out of her family’s house in Shanghai, and then she is told that she has to go to a boarding school. She also watched PLT get eaten right in front of her by her family’s dog, Jackie. Can you imagine watching your pet die right in front of your eyes? That would leave you in a bad mental state for quite a while. In summary, I would not be interested in having the kind of experiences in Chinese Cinderella.

I wouldn’t be interested in having these kind of experiences in the book because there is a lot of scary events happening in the story. It all started when the Time Traveler went to the future first with the Time Machine and ever since then it’s been really creepy and sketchy. One thing that’s really scary is the Morlocks. The Morlocks are these terrifying creatures that can attack you and will try to even eat you. Then the Time Traveler discovers an old, dusty museum in the past with his friend he made along his journey, Weena. The Time Traveler then finds weapons in the museum then the Time Traveler realized he can try getting the Time Machine back by using the weapons from the museum against the Morlocks to defeat them so the Time Traveler can go back to Earth and get the Time Machine. The Time Traveler then walks with Weena towards the sphinx where his Time Machine is and while they were walking there, he finds the Morlocks surrounding him but little do the Morlocks know the Time Traveler has matches with him from the museum to make a forest fire, distracting the Morlocks. Then the Time Traveler realized that Weena got lost. The Time Traveler tried looking for her but could not find her then the Time Traveler went along with his journey by himself to the look for the Time Machine. He then finds the sphinx and dials his year in the Time Machine to his original year of where he came from then he finally made it to Earth and is now free. That is why I don’t want to go the future or past because of all the scary stuff happening there.

Would I be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book "Not If I Save You First"? Why or why not?

No, I would absolutely not want to have any kind of experience in this book, and here is why.

First, it would be very boring and unpleasant to live in a cabin with just me and my father for six years before seeing someone else, while also being the only 2 people for 20 miles all around. Also being in Alaska, which is extremely cold and deadly while also being the largest state owned by the USA. Alaska has lots of deadly things like the weather, storms, bears, deadly animals, deadly moose, poisonous berries, deadly water, and trouble getting food. It would be hard to chop lots of logs of wood to keep a fire up and running while also having a very small home. Even with drinking water being hard to obtain. I also despise bathtubs as I like showers much more. It also wouldn't help with the fact that my old childhood best friend couldn't care enough to write me a letter back for six whole years.

Secondly, I would not liked to be kidnapped by an angry Russian assailant who want to kidnap and kill my childhood best friend. I also would not like being knocked off a cliff and then follow my best friend and an angry kidnapper while also being in the middle of one of the coldest places on earth in a seemingly never ending forest. I would not like being kidnapped too along with my best friend and then being forcefully brought somewhere and the face an unknown fate. It would also be very unsettling and very bad to have to fight for my life against a trained assailant.

Thirdly , I would hate being in the cold, with my friend who hadn't written back to me in years and then running from an angry Russian assailant while also being endangered in the middle of the night in a very cold forest in the middle of ALASKA. It would also suck to be injured and tired and hungry and at the same time having to face the harsh circumstances. It would absolutely hate having all of my clothes fully soaked as well which would just make the conditions harder.

Lastly, I would not like to live in the White House since Russians had infiltrated it and tried to kidnap the first lady. It would be bad living in the most famous house in the USA and possibly most famous house in the whole world. This would be bad because it would be heavily targeted by the enemies of the USA.

It would also be bad having to then fight the kidnapper, and then find out that my dad is kidnapped at the same camp that I was being brought to. I would not like having to then fight the Russian guards and then eventually the Wolf, or Boris who is a strong old dude who hates me and my best friend and wants us dead.

I can see why Maddie hated Logan for ghosting Maddie for six years even after repeated letters being sent from Maddie. There are lots of parts that I like about this book being the plot which was really nice, and the reasoning for Stefan kidnapping Maddie and Logan as it showed us that he was doing it for a partially good reason. I liked the final showdown with Boris, the Wolf and then Stefan saving his sister, and Maddie rescuing her father and going home.

To put it simply, any of the circumstances, conditions, and experiences would be horrible to have to face. I would not like to experience any of the events that have occurred in the book "Not If I Save You First".

No, I would not be interested in getting kidnapped by an unknown russian, and trying to save my so called “best friend” in the freezing cold and basically sacrificing my life. Maddie was living in a cabin in the middle of Alaska, where you literally don’t have any internet connection. I would not like having to write continuous letters to contact someone. In this book Maddie and Logan had to go through many things, like walking in the chilling cold for weeks. Also, Logan was always in danger, I would be so scared if I was constantly in danger. I wouldn't like not being written back by my best friend after I've tried contacting them everyday. I understand why Maddie is mad at Logan, Maddie tried to keep in touch with him but he never wrote anything back to her. Then, Logan just comes to Alaska one day acting like Maddie hasn't been trying to reach out to him for years! I just think that's terrible and crazy how he could just ignore her for all that time. Also, hanging out with the president's son could put yourself in danger as well, since he could be anyone's target. That would be very unsafe. This book had an amazing plot line and left many cliff hangers at the end of chapters, allowing readers to feel curious and excited to see what comes next. I also enjoyed how they left one of Maddie's letters to Logan in the beginning of each chapter. That detail allowed readers to see how much effort Maddie put to contact Logan.

I would not be interested in having the kind of experiences Adeline has in the book Chinese Cinderella because many sad things come her way. For example, her aunt buys her and all of her siblings chicks. Adeline gets the last pick of which one she wants because of her age and when she gets to choose, she is left with a scrawny little chick. She soon finds that the chick makes a great friend and becomes very close with it. After a little while her father decides that, to his and his wife's own amusement, it would be fun to pick on one of the kids chicks and have their untrained dog be tested to see if it will hurt it. In the end, the dog ends up hurting her chick, eventually killing it. This is just one of the reasons why I would not want to have the kind of experiences Adeline had.

I wouldn’t like to be in the same situations as the characters in the book. In the book they had to get to safety as there was shooting at the White house and Logan's mom and dad were hiding which for me would be really scary if i was hiding from shooters. They were waiting for more Secret Service to arrive at the White house and they could probably not hear anyone because there were also sirens screaming and other people screaming which would be really loud in such a small space and a lot of screaming always makes me scared because someone could be hurt. Maddie also had to watch her father run from the guns firing which i would hate to see happen if i was Maddie. There was blood streaking across the floor and no one could help him. If I was in the same situation watching my father rush to safety and he was hurt I would try to rush out to help him but I also wouldn’t because of the stuff that is going on outside. Finally the rest of the Secret Service came and the Russians were surrounded by them and had no way of getting out. The Secret Service arriving could make me a little bit more scared as I would hear more gunshots. So that shows why i would not want to be in the same situations as the Logan and Maddie and other characters

The book “Iceberg” is about a large ship called the Titanic that people voyaged on, and the experience of a girl named Hazel as it sank after hitting a large iceberg. Her difficulties is why I would not want to have the kind of experience Hazel had.

I would not want an experience like Hazel because she had to sneak onto the Titanic, find a place to sleep, and to try to survive the ship sinking. As the Titanic sank, Hazel tried to find her friend Charlie somewhere below. She found Charlie and brought him onto the deck to get on a lifeboat but only women and children were allowed on the lifeboats.

The book “Iceberg,” reminds me of the book “I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912” by Lauren Tarshis. The reason they remind me of each other are because while they differ in classes they both have to try to survive the ship sinking. Another reason the books remind me of each other is because Charlie and George had to stay behind since only women and children are allowed on the lifeboats. The reason only women and children were allowed was because there wasn’t enough lifeboats for everyone.

I would not want to have the same experiences as the main character in this book for many reasons, but the main one being the amount of abuse and neglect in her family.  The main character of this book is Adeline Yen Mah. She is repeatedly neglected and forgotten in her family. When she was younger, her mother died giving birth to her and her father remarried someone named Niang, who was repeatedly cruel and abusive to the children that were not biologically hers. Before they married, her father had 5 children with Adeline’s mother and two with Niang. Niang’s children were heavily favored over the five other children. Because of this, Adeline was treated badly and was only shown love by her aunt and grandfather after her grandmother passed away. One example of neglect is shown on page 177 when she is diagnosed with pneumonia and no one comes to visit her except for one of the nuns at the boarding school she was sent to. Another reason I would not want to have the same experience at Adeline is because, like I said before, she is forgotten. In the book, she flies on a plane with her parents and she has to fill out a document and her father doesn’t even know her name. He had to have Adeline tell him her name and he also forgot her birthday. They had never even told her the day she was born so she didn’t know that either and had to take her father’s birthday. In conclusion I would not want to have these experiences.

I would not be interested in having the same experiences as in the book. My reasons are because I would have already known that the Titanic would have crashed into an iceberg. Also, there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers on board, and it would have been very sad to have been through that. I would have made it on to a lifeboat because women and children had to go on first and I am still a child. If the crash had not happened, I would have liked to have experienced going on the Titanic and seeing how it looked because it is now underwater, and people cannot see how it used to fully look. And it would also depend on which class you had because the first class was a lot more premium than the others. If I were in first class on the Titanic, I would have had a better experience than if I were in the other classes. Those are my opinions on why I would have not wanted to have the same experience as in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I would not like to have the experiences in the book because I would not like to have gray eyes every day and a pale skin. i’d also want to because it’d be so cool of me being a time traveler. just imagine how cool it would be to travel to do time and meet different people before they passed. I would be able to do so much if I would be able to time travel. it would be so scary to see people who already died. I’d also miss the people I’ve lost in the past because I wouldn’t be able to get them back. I wouldn’t really want to be involved with time machines.

I would not want to have the same experiences as Natalie in this book. I would not want to see my mother quitting science and dealing with depression. Just thinking about it makes me sad. I like how Natalie deals with it well, because I don't know how I would deal with it. My mom means the world to me and this happening to her would break me. But when Natalie's mom went into therapy it made me hopeful she would turn back the way she was before. Also, I would not want my dad to act like a therapist in front of me. This is why I would not want to have the same experiences as Natalie in this book.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not want to live in the life of Adeline because she had a terrible life. First her mom died and she was blamed for it. So already everyone treated her badly. Her dad married a French woman who only wanted the best and treated the worst. When she had her own children she treated them like royalty and didn't even tell anybody about the other kids. They weren't allowed to go to their friends house no matter what. Then She was shipped away to a boarding school and taken back by the moms sister. The only way that she was able to attend college was because she won an international writing competition. If she didn't she would have to find a job and live by herself.

I would both want and not want to have some experiences that the characters had in the book. For example, I would love to see the Alaskan wilderness, but I would also want to be prepared for the dangers that come with it. Unlike Maddie, who didn’t return to the cabin for food and water after waking up from her coma, I would choose gathering supplies before going into the wilderness to find Logan. It seemed reckless to head out without things you need to survive.

Additionally, I would not want to be kidnapped by the Russians and dragged into the middle of nowhere with a knife pushed against my back. If I were in Logan's position, I would try to persuade the kidnapper to stop working for the Wolf so that I could be released.

Lastly, I would love to experience life in the White House to understand what it’s like to live there, but  I would not send my son to kidnap the First Lady if I truly loved him, like the Wolf did.

These are some of the experiences from the story that I would and would not want to have in real life.

Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

I would not be interested in having this experience in Not If You Save Me First because the first reason is I don’t want to get kidnapped in Alaska or risk my life to try to save my childhood friend. My 2nd reason is I don’t want to live in a cabin that is in the middle of nowhere. My last reason is I would not like to live with one person in a cabin because I would get bored and I would not like to have no internet. At the end of chapter one, there was shooting. Being the president is dangerous because other people will try to kill the president. Maddie and Logan were 10 years old when the shooting happened and they also saw a lot of blood at the White House. Maddie and Logan went to Alaska to be safe because at the White House, there will be people trying to kill the president.

Alaska will be scary when you live in the middle of nowhere because Maddie and Logan were living in the cabin by themselves. Maddie and Logan were living without the internet. In Alaska it is very cold there and the foods and waters will be poisonous. There will be dangerous animals in Alaska and the dangerous animals will try to kill you. The common things that can kill you in Alaska were cold, foods, waters, and animals. In Alaska there was a lot of rain there.

In the book there was a kidnapper who kidnapped Logan. Maddie is the only one who can save Logan. Maddie didn’t have the internet to call for help and nobody will know Logan is kidnapped . Maddie is trying her best to follow the kidnapper. Logan began to feel sick and his feet and his head began hurting. Logan was thinking of an idea to escape from the kidnapper. Logan idea was to take the satellite phone, but Stefan pushed Logan to the ground. Stefan went on Logan, so Logan won’t breathe.

Logan failed to take the satellite phone and Stefan went up, so Logan can breathe. Maddie finally found Logan and Logan saw she didn’t have blood on her face anymore. Maddie was thinking of an idea to outsmart the kidnapper. The first idea was to get toward the bridge, the 2nd idea was to set a trap for the kidnapper, and the last idea was to burn down the bridge.

Overall, the experience in Not If You Save Me First is crazy because first when they were in the White House, people were trying to kill the president. Logan and Maddie have to go to Alaska because it is too dangerous to stay at the White House. Logan and Maddie are living in a cabin that is in the middle of nowhere. Maddie and Logan can’t get food outside because the food is poisonous and it is very cold outside. There was a kidnapping in the middle of nowhere and kidnapped Logan and Maddie needed to try to find Logan. Madie found Logan and after that she outsmarted the kidnapper.

I would not like to experience the things that happen in The Time Machine. First the time traveller meets a girl and they become friends. They are having a really good time, then the friend gets lost. The man looks and looks for her then finally finds her. I would not like to experience this because I would not like to lose a friend. The next time they go out the girl dies. Another bad experience is that you get stuck in time in the future. The time traveller gets scared and he does not like the future. That is why I would not like to experience these occasions.

A connection I can make in the book is when the Time Traveler meets Weena. It reminds me of my connection with my little sister and how much of a big bond I have with her. My sister has always been clingy to me, she is always trying to have a chance to play with me and be with me just like the Time Traveler is with Weena. Weena, ever since the time when the Time Traveler saved her, has also been clingy to him, never letting him go. The Time Traveler enjoys spending time with Weena like stargazing, exploring, and Weena throwing flowers at the Time Traveler as a sign of gratitude and love. I would never in my life have the experiences in the book. Just imagine going to a random year and being trapped, how will you return to yet your present year? And exploring the ruins would be very frightening and scary since it’s basically an abandoned place with scary, creepy things in there. Exploring the experiences in the book is just not my thing. There are many terrible wars happening in the world right now and most of them are on the news, just like the battle between the Time Traveler and the Morlocks. These connection mean they are trying to get something. Like in wars, there are trying to get more land and in this book, the Time Traveler is trying to retrieve back his Time Machine. In the book, the Time Machine, the Time Traveler explores an abandoned museum with the tiny little Eloi Weena. Just like when I explored the field museum in Chicago in 5th grade as a field trip with my class. This book doesn’t remind me of any other book since this is the first time traveler book i’ve ever read. In all, this book is great and I enjoyed I reading it.

I would not be the type of person who would read a book about the Titanic because shipwrecks aren't really my thing. But, my friend and I built the Titanic in Minecraft, so I had to learn a bit about icebergs. That's why I picked Iceberg, which is a story that takes place on the real Titanic. It's about this girl, Hazel, who's running away from her problems and sneaks onto the ship. She finds out some crazy secrets and meets new people along the journey. The ship hits an iceberg, and everything gets super chaotic and scary, adding on, after it cooled down a bit, it got really dangerous. I liked that the book mixed real stuff from history with a cool main character, which made it feel like I was actually there. If you like books that have scary and terrifying events in it, this would be the one. Personally, I would highly recommend it for people that do like events like these in the book even though i slightly didn’t like this book.

This late summer i started reading the book "Iceberg" by Jennifer A. Nielsen, and it was pretty deep and emotional. Most of the plot and story of the book is based around a 12 year old girl who named "Hazel" and she made the decision to sneak onto the glorious Titanic, Hazel snuck onto the Titanic to make money for her family, when she first snuck it was pretty fun for her because obviously the Titanic was one of the most fanciest and most hyped-up things ever. Everything was going great until at last the glorious ship had crashed into an iceberg. I'll leave it at that because I would like to share a connection I have with the events with the Titanic. Last year or two years ago, I had a pretty big obsession with the game "Roblox" and theres a game on roblox called "Build a Boat for Treasure," and at that time I had also gotten into ships. I decided to put all my ideas and effort into the game and built my very own Titanic. It took a lot of effort and time but it was all worth it at the end.

I would not be interested in having the same experiences as Adeline in the book Chinese Cinderella because Adeline is seen as bad luck by her siblings and is abused by her stepmother, whom she calls Niang. Niang makes Adeline feel like she is nothing, and strips her of opportunities that her peers have. Adeline’s father often sides with Niang, which makes her feel forgotten and unwelcome. The point where Adeline feels like she is truly insignificant to her father is when he has to fill out a document for her and he asks her what her name is. Adeline is crushed because she feels she doesn’t matter enough, even to her own father, for anyone to remember who she is. She wishes that her father would praise her and remember her because of her academics, which she works very hard on. Adeline has so much persistence because through all of her trauma and hardships, she stays top of her class and eventually goes to study at medical school in England. Her studies were originally a tool to make her father value her, but they eventually became a tool for her to value herself.

The connections that I can make between me and Nathalie is that she and her team wanted to win in the school Egg Drop Contest which is called Operation Egg. I think we both wanted to do the same thing because she wanted to win the money to fly to New Mexico with her mom and get a rare blue flower called the blue orchid. Because their blue orchid died, Nathalie and her team worked so hard to win, but they didn’t win the contest. The exact same thing happened to me just like Nathalie from the book. In The Battle Of The Books competition at school, if a team reads the most books and gets the most AR points possible, they will win any kind of gift card they want. I wanted to win a gift card from Amazon, so I could buy a cool video game like a Super Mario game. But, my team and I didn’t win the competition like Nathalie’s team.

I would be interested in experiencing the events in the book like Hazel did, but I would want to do it safely. While reading the book I imagined myself onboard the ship, and I will explore each corner of the ship, and not have to experience the tragic events. In fact, I wished it never would've happened so that I could see the ship in person. Back on the experience part, I would've enjoyed the food and the luxury experience onboard. As a passionate Titanic person, I felt what the third class passengers experienced when they were locked in their compartment and were told to use the other stairs but they were flooded and this was their only hope to get out alive.

If I ever was poor in the early 1900s, like Hazel was and going to New York was the only hope for the family, and I wouldn't have enough money to board the ship, I would have snuck on the ship because I would really need to help my family and I would eventually pay it off, but only if I had a friend that works for the Titanic’s crew. If I didn't, then I would ask some people for money and I would tell them that I would pay them later.

Another reason why I would want to experience things is because I am a kid, and I would be most likely guaranteed to survive the sinking. I researched and found out that 53 kids died and 77 survived (130 total). That is evidence that I could have most likely survived the sinking. So, I probably would have survived the sinking by getting to a lifeboat quickly and being included in the group of survivors on the lifeboats.

Remember how I said that I would be able to get onboard with a friend. Well, it can also be helpful for me to get off. My crew member friend would know all the secret passages to get to the first class outdoor area where all the lifeboats and a higher chance of survival would be at. Also, he could have a key to help me get through locked gates, locked doors, and he could get me through crew areas that I normally am not allowed to go into, but it might cause a problem, since the crew planned to go down with the ship and insisted that passengers get to the lifeboats.

This book showed me about the ship sinking, the secrets, such as the fire in the engine room, and that the telegraph operator ignoring the iceberg warnings, telling the other ship’s telegraph operator to shut up. Also, it explains the beauty of the ship, and what you could have experienced in first, second, and third class on the ship. For example, first class had a pool and the grand staircase, the promenade with a high view, second class had a library with a view in the front part of the ship, and third class had a view in the back along with some other activities. In conclusion, the book describes and depicts events of the ship, and the experience you could have onboard.

I would not like to share the same experiences as Adeline that happened in Chinese Cinderella because of multiple reasons.

The main reason that showed throughout the story was that Adeline was treated horribly by her family. When Adeline was born, her mother passed away during the birth process, so the rest of her family blamed her for it. This caused her to grow up with siblings who strongly disliked her. I don’t always get along with my siblings, but hearing about how Adeline was treated in the book, it shocked me. Families are supposed to make you feel loved, but Adeline seemed scared most of the time. She always tried to get along with her siblings, but all of them rejected her.

The next reason why I wouldn’t want to have the same experience as Adeline is because of her stepmother. When her father soon remarried after her biological mother passed away, their new stepmother, Niang, soon started to treat the children awfully. She showed certain affection towards her biological children, while her stepchildren were treated differently. Niang was half-European, so she dressed her biological children in European clothing. Adeline and her siblings wished to dress like that, but they were all forced to dress in traditional Chinese clothing. Not being able to wear clothes of my choice seems almost like a nightmare. Everyone has their style, and you should be able to express it. During multiple occasions, Niang would discipline the children whenever they did something against her liking. Most of the time, Niang would use physical violence on the children. Adeline stood up to her stepmother multiple times, she was always punished for it. Abuse is never okay, and I can’t even imagine living like that.

Lastly, Adeline has to be constantly hiding things from her friends and family. Her father and stepmother created strict rule of not hanging out with friends outside of school, but Adeline disliked that rule. When one of her friends, Wu Chun-mei, found out that Adeline walked to and from school, she chose to walk with her when she could have drove. Adeline couldn’t tell Wu Chun-mei, because she was scared of the consequences from her family. Not only was she hiding things from her best friend, but she was also not telling her family things too. As she hid more and more things, her stepmother grew more and more suspicious. When Adeline went over to Wu Chun-mei’s house for the first time, she tried her hardest to hide from her stepmother, but she soon found out. Although everyone tries to hide things from people, Adeline does because of constant fear that she’ll get in trouble or lose the people she bonds with. I feel bad for her because she doesn’t have many people to actually talk to.

There are many reasons why I wouldn’t want to have the same experiences as Adeline, but these are the main reasons why. Adeline was mainly mistreated throughout most of her life, and she deserved more than being unloved, abused, and alone.

I would not be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book Chinese Cinderella because Adeline Yen Mah was disregarded as a child by her parents. She was also blamed for the death of her mother by her father and siblings. That is why she is the most hated sibling. She is also forced to attend a boarding school for years without ever getting a letter, an egg, or even a chance to come home. She was not even able to contact the only relatives that loved her, Aunt Baba and YeYe. This is why I would not like to have the experiences of Adeline Yen Mah in Chinese Cinderella.

Another book that I can make a connection to that has some similarities to iceberg is I survived the sinking of the titanic 1912.  .( I read that I survived  in like 3rd or 4th grade so I might forget some things.) It reminded me of it in a couple ways first of all because I think both of them snuck on to the ship and also something else that had reminded me of this book was how they both described the sinking the same way by an iceberg. Something that really caught my eye in both of these books was how they acted. They were both like trying to sneak around and stuff and trying not to get caught by the other staff. Something else that I realized was that they almost acted like the same when the boat had started to sink, kind of shocked but not super surprised because they both have a little suspicion of it not being unsinkable. Like for example in an iceberg she thought an iceberg could really damage the sides of the boat which could cause the ship to fail. And if I survived he just didn't really think the boat couldn't be unsinkable because every boat has its flaws. Something else that I had also realized was that they both had survived which is kind of obvious but they both had lost something special to them. One of my favorite similarities here was how they were both poor and trying to get the America for a better life at the time America was known as the land of opportunity i think for people to work and make money and have a better life. And now for my last thing that both these books had was that they both had like special information that other people didn't know about before the sinking like for iceberg she knew about the boiler room and the coal and stuff. And for I survived he was noticing some pretty interesting things about the crew members and what they did at the bottom layer of the ship. So that is my blog about the book. Thank you for reading and good bye.

I would not like to be in the kind of experience that adeline had to go through Ine "Chinese Cinderella". I would like to be in the experience because Adeline has to face harsh treatment from her Stepmother Niang who would be mean because Adeline wasn’t her Child she was her step child. Another reason not to experience this is because would get bullied mostly by her step mother and her second brother. Later in the story Niang, who is Adeline’s Stepmother, starts to be less harsh towards her. Another reason to avoid this is because I wouldn’t want my sibling to get married at a young age to a guy that has almost double lived double her life span because there would be a lot of stuff that might come up and lessen the time span to interact with them. One reason why I might go to this experience is because she gets to hang out with her friend Wu Chun-mei while they walk to school which seems nice but not really good if there is a storm. Another reason why I might want to experience this is because there is a lot of stuff that happens randomly that you might not expect. Overall I might try to avoid this experience if possible but if not I wouldn’t be that mad about it.

If I was Hazel Rothbury, I would be both interested and not interested in the experiences in the Titanic. One reason I would be interested in the experiences is because when Hazel snuck onto the ship she was a stowaway, as a stowaway she could visit any part of the ship that she wanted. One reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because as a stowaway I would have to worry about being caught by officers, the crew, or even the captains of the ship so I’d have to be extra sneaky or lie. Another reason I would be interested in the experiences is because I would meet good people, like Miss Gruber, (After she misunderstands Hazel) Sylvia, Charlie, Miss Abelman, and Mr. Wadding. Another reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because I would meet bad people and cowards such as Mrs. Morrison, Mr. Morrison, (Even after he saved Hazel) and J. Bruce Ismay. The third reason I would be interested in the experiences is because of the beauty of the Titanic, like the Grand Staircase, the first class deck, the first class cafe, and the Titanic’s library. The third reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because since Hazel is curious she likes to explore the Titanic but if she was a regular they would immediately recognize her and it would be a lot harder to explore more of the Titanic. The fourth reason I would be interested in the experiences is because the library in the Titanic would help answer most or all of Hazel’s questions. The fourth reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because I would have to meet with the rich people who aren’t nice like Sylvia and are snobs. The fifth reason I would be interested in the experiences is because if I disguised myself as one of the crew I would be able to see all the letters in the Titanic. The fifth reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because some of the letters could be bad and have plans such as the Morrison’s plans to take Ms. Ableman’s stock certificates. The sixth reason I would be interested in the experiences is because I could meet famous people on the Titanic. The sixth reason I wouldn’t be interested in the experiences is because some of those famous people could be fakes and steal other people’s credit for their own songs (Still to this day some famous celebrities take other people’s credit and label it as their own).

The options here would make me not go on the Titanic and I would go on another ship like the Carpathia and not take my chances.

If I could change the ending of Iceberg this would be my ending:

Before the iceberg comes,

I search to find Sylvia and hear her tapping Morse code then (everything happens the same way as in the story).

Then we find Ms. Gruber and we confront her, then we forgive her, then go upstairs to find Charlie and suddenly the ship is hit by the iceberg.

As soon as the iceberg is hit I would go to the C deck and scream on the top of my lungs, EVERYONE GET TO THE FIRST CLASS DECK!!!!

If they don’t listen to that warning and think I’m crazy or can’t understand me I would rush to Ms. Abelman’s room and this would be even before the water came and open the door and tell her to write the messages to people who speak different languages and grab them and put them as flyers around both B and C decks then go and open all the gates leading to the First Class deck, Then Mr. Waddington appears and helps me find Charlie, and we open the door to his room in the Nurse’s office and then we go up to the first class deck where we would find Ms. Abelman and she gives me the metal box to put my notebook in and then I help Ms. Abelman to carry the lady and the the toddler up to the first class deck then help Charlie build the collapsible life boat with Mr. Waddington’s help and are gonna go in it with Mr. Waddington, Ms. Ableman and Charlie while Sylvia and Ms. Gruber are on another life boat then we get off the Titanic with oars as soon as the message, Every Man For Their Selves!!  We would get in the water, paddle and try saving as much people as we can then when we have reached the max capacity we would row far away from the Titanic and then regret and sadness would hit but we had to keep moving and then once we got on the Carpathia, I would honor the people who risked their lives for us to survive and I would be happy I at least saved my friends and changed the ending of the Titanic.

I would be interested in having this kind of experience in Matched. The reason why is because most experiences have been trying to erase the past and move into the future. At some point, higher officials have taken artifacts from homes in order to showcase the past versus the future they live in now. If I were in the book Matched, it would make me learn that power can rule over a lot of things. One of the events in this book is having higher up people choosing people’s soulmates on which they cannot change it. When having all these kinds of experience in Matched it can show why I would be interested to experience the book Matched.

I would not want to have the same experiences as Adeline in the book Chinese Cinderella. First off, when she was born, her mother died from child birth and Adeline was called bad luck. It wasn’t her fault her mother died, yet she was blamed for it. Her Niang also favored most of the children over her. When she finally had something that she loved, her pet duck PLT, it got killed by the dog. This shows that she has little to no control over the decisions in her life. When she wants to hang out with her friend for their birthday, she gets whipped with a dog whip. Every child should have the chance to hang out with their friends. After being elected class president, her classmates give her presents and compliments. However, Niang thinks that this is a plan to insult the family and forces her to make her classmates leave. Her father even ordered to throw all the presents away. This shows how absolutely cruel her parents are. Every child should enjoy the presents made for them! The parents also blame the aunt and that she spoils Adeline too much and orders Adeline to go to a boarding school in Tianjin. While all of this is happening, the Communists in China are invading the Nationalists. If they reach Tianjin, the nuns and Adeline will be imprisoned. Most of the students leave until Adeline is the only one at the school because of this. If I were Adeline, I would be stressing all day just because of the chance of me being imprisoned. The only good thing about living a life in Adeline’s life is her intelligence. She won a writing competition and it impressed her dad enough to send her to Oxford for Medical School. In my personal opinion, it is still sad that she has to leave her friends to go to England. This is why I would not want to have the same experiences as Adeline in Chinese Cinderella.

I wouldn't be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book because in the future its very boring and weird. First of all there is the Eloi they are very boring they are short and very spoiled, they are to weak to walk up a hill. The Eloi also don't speak English, they speak very few words to communicate. Then there are the Morlocks who are very creepy and scary. That's why the eloi all sleep next to each other because they are scared of the Morlocks. Also in the story when the guy goes in the Morlocks well they start attacking him. Also even if you don't go into the Morlocks well they come out at night and attack you. Also when he goes even more into the future the world is pretty much dead. there is barely any life and it's really hard to breath. That's why I wouldn't be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book.

Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

No, I would not be interested in having the same experiences as Natalie did because I would hate to see my mom be depressed like that. That would make me feel crushed, sad and worried to see her struggling. Although her new friends helped her get through it and that also helped Natalie with the Egg Drop Competition. The Egg Drop Competition did so much to Natalie, it got her amazing new friends and it helped Natalie‘s mom to get her back to health. That is why I Will not be interested in having the same experiences as Natalie in the book “The Science of Breakable Things”.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

I would not be interested in having the kind of experiences as Natalie did in this book. Natalie's mom was very depressed and tired. She seemed to be struggling with mental health issues. Throughout the story, Natalie was always thinking of ways to help her mom with her depression. I feel like as a kid, Natalie had a lot of stress because of the way her mom felt and was not able to be a normal kid at times. She was always thinking about how her mom was depressed which I am sure made her very upset as well. I am not sure if I would be able to handle seeing my parent so depressed. I would not like to see either of my parents upset because it would make me very sad. I would definitely try and help in any way possible but I would be very overwhelmed not knowing if I could make things better for them.

I would be interested in experiencing the events that happened in the book. The reason I’m interested is because the events that happened in the book didn’t happen to the main character; it happened to the Time Traveler, the person who built the time machine. Also, the events that happened in the future were told by the Time Traveler to the main character along with other characters after he returned from the future. So, assuming that I was experiencing the events through the main character and not the Time Traveler, I would be fine with it. However, if I follow the events of the story through the Time Traveler and not the main character, I might not want to experience it. I say this as in the ending of the book, the Time Traveler and his time machine disappeared, most likely traveling through time. This is why I would be interested in the events of the book.

While reading Chinese Cinderella, I was reminded of things that I saw in F1: The Movie. Both the book and the movie had a similar theme of trying to do or achieve something in order to be seen better, both in the book and in the movie. In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline wants her family, especially her father, as well as her schoolmates, to see her in a good way by getting good grades. She gets awards and achievements in school as a way to try and not to be overlooked by her and family and seen as an unwanted child. Her good grades and accomplishments at school is her way of trying to redeem herself to her family. Similarly, in F1: The Movie, the APXGP team, like Adeline, wants to be seen in a better way by winning more races by bringing in retired Formula One driver Sonny Hayes to their team. For the APXGP team, performing well during races and winning is similar to how Adeline works hard to perform academically and do well in school. They both want to be able to use their success as a way to prove their worth and gain recognition. In conclusion, Chinese Cinderella and F1: The Movie both have a theme of working hard to appeal to others, which is a connection I found between them.

This book does not remind me of any book I have read before. I have a few books in my collection that have romance in them, but none of them are similar to Flipped. Most of the books I read couldn't take place in real life. The books have read have things that couldn't happen in real life. For example, one of the book series I have read is about man-eating demons and people who went through years of training to kill the demons. Another example is a book series I have read that is about Urban Legends inside of a High School. These two-book series have implements of romance in them, but it's never the main focus. I have only read one book series that is a romance, but it is nothing like Flipped. Flipped is the only book I’ve read of its kind.

The character I make connections with is the Time Traveler. I connect to the Time Traveler because we both like to explore and make new things. Like the Time Traveler, I like to experiment on things. We enjoy it because even if we fail we try again. The Time Traveler and I do not give up easily, we always try to find a solution to our problem. I think it shows that even when things get hard, we stay determined and know not to quit. I also feel like I can connect to the curiosity of the Time Traveler. He always wants to learn and see new things and it reminds me of how I like to learn about new things when I travel to different states with my family. Another thing I find similar is that I like to focus on projects when I start them even if it is a little one. I am always focused on finishing every project I start. In the story, the Time Traveler meets people from the future called Eloi. These characters were little, they spoke a different language, and they spent their day playing around with each other. I found some similarities between the Eloi and myself because we both speak a different language, spend our days playing games, and these people like to make tables or flower crowns and other items like how I enjoy making random items at home. We both enjoy doing creative projects and activities with our hands to keep us busy. Overall, I feel a connection with these characters and myself because their everyday actions and personalities reminds me of how I live and how I choose to spend my time. I think that it is interesting that we live in different settings and in different times but live a very similar life.

I would hate to have the same experiences as Hugo Fischer. In the story Ashes in the Snow, Hugo was a criminologist, and the author describes many gruesome and disturbing things that Hugo had to experience, even things worse than death. He also has a condition that causes him immense pain and gave him a permanent limp. He had to keep his condition a secret so that he wouldn't become a target from the Nazis. The Nazis seek out imperfect Germans in order to remove them from the "perfect" Aryan gene pool. Aside from all of that, Hugo also has to solve the murder of a doctor. That would probably be a little difficult considering the below-freezing temperatures, all the people dedicated to keeping the murder a mystery, and all of the death and despair as far as the eye can see. Despite all of this, Hugo pretends to support the Nazis just so he can survive, even though he hates them for what they do to all the Jewish people who enter the Auschwitz camp. Overall, I would hate to experience any of the terrible things that Hugo Fischer had to see in the book Ashes in the Snow.

There is a connection between the book Ashes in the Snow and the war between Russia and Ukraine.

In Ashes in the Snow, the Soviet Union invades a part of Europe including Lithuania, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, and other countries, and the main character, Lina, is taken from her home in Lithuania. The NKVD, now known as the KGB, take her family to forced labor camps with very harsh conditions, one of which is in Siberia. She saw many of the people die of sickness, malnutrition, or other causes in the camps and on the trucks and trains that brought her family to the camps.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, it started a war between the two countries. The damage that Russia has caused with its attacks has forced civilians into unsafe living conditions that have caused injury, sickness, and death. This includes leaving citizens without proper shelter and food supply and denying medical assistance to the injured and sick through attacks to hospitals, homes, and farmland.

In summary, there is a connection between the book Ashes in the Snow and the war between Russia and Ukraine because in both subjects, a country invades other countries and puts civilians into dangerous conditions.

I can make multiple connections to a particular character that was in the story. At multiple points in the story, Adeline gets her hopes up only to be disappointed. For example, when Adeline is sent to St. Joseph's School for the second time in her life, she finds it hard to be there, as she is the only student. Because of this, she gets very excited when she is told that her aunt will soon pick her up. Adeline and her Aunt Baba were very close, so she automatically assumed that it would be her aunt Baba who would be picking her up. However, Adeline is disappointed when another aunt arrives instead. Sometimes I hope for certain things to happen, get excited about them, and then am left disappointed by the outcome. On the other hand, this can go both ways. Sometimes situations can feel negative when they will turn out well in the end. After Adeline is taken from St. Joseph's School by her aunt, things start to look up. Her aunt's family treats her as one of their own, rather than making her feel like less than them, like Adeline's actual family does. There are many connections from Adeline to me.

In my opinion, I would not want to be on the Titanic experiencing the events described in the book Iceberg. I think many people would agree with me, especially considering that only about 32% of the roughly 2,200 people on board actually survived. That means the number of survivors was only around 700. If I were on the Titanic, it would be very hard, if not impossible, to survive because only women and children were allowed to leave first. That would mean I’d likely be stuck on the Titanic as it split in half.

The ship would have been filled with the endless screams of people falling into the freezing cold water. Amid all the chaos, some people probably acted recklessly, knowing it was their last day on Earth before facing the icy waters. There are stories of men surviving the Titanic, but not in the way you might expect. One such man was Percy Taylor, who helped women onto the lifeboats. When he fell into the water, he found an overturned lifeboat and climbed on it until he was rescued.

Much of this tragedy could have been prevented if the ship had carried more lifeboats. The Titanic had only 20 lifeboats, even though it could have held many more. Having more lifeboats would have saved many lives.

Although the situation would have been terrifying, I think it would be interesting to actually witness the Titanic sinking. It’s like watching a massive piece of metal slowly sink while the lights gradually fade out. If the right people were on the lifeboats, they might have helped locate the Titanic sooner, allowing scientists to uncover its secrets earlier.

Overall, I wouldn’t want to be connected in any way to what happened on the Titanic or experience anything as tragic as that disaster. Thankfully, modern safety protocols have improved greatly to prevent tragedies like that. That is why I wouldn’t want to go through what’s described in Jennifer A. Nelson’s Iceberg.

Chinese Cinderella, by Adeline Yen Mah, and Red Scarf Girl, by Ji-li Jiang, are two autobiographies that take place in Shanghai and cities around Shanghai during the 1950s and 1960s. Both tell the stories of young girls in China and share some themes about their families' impact throughout their childhood. Throughout the stories, I noticed several connections between them.

In the stories, Adeline and Ji-li both have pets whose injuries helped to teach them different lessons. Adeline favored her duckling, PLT, over her other siblings', giving it extra worms and more attention. After PLT died due to her stepmother's dog biting it, Adeline learned a lesson about favoritism. When I read this part in the book, I didn’t immediately see the connection between the ducklings and Adeline’s life. Later, I was sure I understood why Adeline Yen Mah included the part about giving extra worms to PLT in her autobiography. Favoring her duckling was similar to how Niang favored her "real" children and neglected the others. In Red Scarf Girl, the injury of her cat, Little White, taught her about trying to solve all your problems yourself. In the book, Ji-li writes, “One time our cat, Little White, cut her leg deeply on a piece of glass. We all rushed to find bandages to bind up the wound, but Little White ran into the attic and hid there for days, licking her wounds by herself.” Ji-li’s cat Little White is, in a way, like Adeline. Adeline handles the pain she feels from her family's cruel treatment on her own.

As well as that, both girls always strive to have the highest grades and be leaders of their classes. Both see most of their success through their grades, and believe being top of their class will fix parts of their lives. Ji-li has a black political background because her grandfather was a landlord. Since the people of China followed Chairman Mao, they all believed that a black political background was against the Cultural Revolution and was very much looked down upon. Ji-li thought grades and activities she participated in would show she was loyal to Chairman Mao, and people could overlook her political background. In Chinese Cinderella, there are many other reasons that Adeline sees the most success in her grades. Similar to Ji-li, Adeline wants to have a better life in the future. Her better grades may lead to a better career. It is understandable that Adeline would try to get top grades, especially if she was trying to escape the harsh treatment of her family, and the feeling that she isn’t worth anything. This also leads to another reason Adeline strives to always be at the top of her class; it is the only way she can gain any attention and approval from her father. While Ji-li feels respected and loved in her family, as she said in the prologue, “I was happy because I was always loved and respected,” she still tries to get high grades, as she hopes that this may allow other people to look over her family’s poor political background. Both Ji-li and Adeline hope their academic performance will change what people think about them.

When I thought about the reasons for these girls striving for the best academic performance, it reminded me that most of it was to change what other people thought about them. While their constant efforts helped them to become skilled writers and make many friends, both girls just wanted approval from the people around them. I believe the thing that makes the stories most similar is their theme, which in ways is the same. The stories tell how what other people think of you can completely change how you see yourself and what you do in your life. In the ending of the two stories, you can tell that the girls realize how much others influenced them and made them forget about what was really important.

In the end, Ji-li realised that all her struggles to always show her loyalty to Chairman Mao weren't more important than taking on her responsibilities. Ji-li knew that her family was always more important than following what all the other people were following. In comparison, at the end of Chinese Cinderella, the letter from her Aunt Baba shows Adeline how she can choose her path, and no matter how much her family thinks she’s worthless, they don’t get to decide what she does with her life.

Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

I would be both interested and uninterested in having the experiences from the book, “The Science of Breakable Things” by Tae Keller.

I would be interested in having experiences that are presented in the book because being in an egg drop contest would most likely be very fun for me. I love to make things, solve problems, and get a little bit competitive. In the book they were extremely creative and used their imaginations to help create a product that would help to protect the egg from cracking when dropped from a three story building. They created “S’meggs” which was a contraption that used twigs, jumbo marshmallows, and even pieces of chocolate as stated on page 129.

But on the other hand, I would not want to have the same kind of experiences as the characters in the book because the main character, Natalie, is struggling with having a depressed mother. Natalie’s mom rarely comes out anymore and has stopped going to work. Before the depression, Natalie and her mother had a small green house with beautiful, colorful and exotic flowers and plants. They had one “Cobalt Blue Orchid". The cobalt blue orchid had grown in a toxic field where scientists had said that nothing would be able to grow. It's the miracle flower. Although it is known for being  the miracle flower, it died due to neglect caused by her mother’s depression. Later in the book we found out that it was not a Cobalt Blue Orchid, but a Blue Bearded Iris. We found this out on page 269. At the end of the book her mom starts going to therapy two times a week and she slowly, but surely, gets better.

In conclusion, I would be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book because it would be fun to be in an egg drop contest.  However, having a family member struggling with depression would be hard and sad, so I would not like to have the same experiences as Natalie did in the book.

I can relate to Natalie and her mom’s love of flowers, plants and green houses. I love to own plants and care for them. I also like traveling to forest preserves and botanic gardens, hiking trails, and seeing the colorful flowers and plants in nature.

Overall, I would not want to face the kind of experiences that was in the book. The book mainly talks about the Titanic, which was known as the largest and most luxurious ship back then. The main character Hazel, had to go on the Titanic because her family was in poverty, and her aunt could get her a job at a factory in New York (where the Titanic is arriving). However, Hazel had to sneak onto the Titanic because she lacked the money to get a ticket. I definitely would not want to sneak onto the ship because I would have felt a sense of guilt. Also if I got caught by someone, then I could get in serious trouble which I wouldn't want to deal with. Hazel is also a very curious young lady, which causes her to stumble to places she shouldn’t be at. Since she is so curious, Hazel sometimes eavesdrops on people. Hazel overheard that the Titanic was on fire, and I would not want to be on a ship that is on fire. Hazel also has made enemies along the way- the Mollisons, the Mollisons figured out that Hazel doesn’t have a ticket on the Titanic. So they threaten her that they will tell the crewman about her if Hazel doesn’t cooperate with them for their evil doings. There are plenty of icebergs at sea, which would scare me. Some icebergs are unseeable due to refraction. If a ship hit an iceberg in a certain area, it could cause the ship to sink. And that's what happened to the Titanic.

Although I wouldn’t want to experience the situation there are some things in the story that mean a lot to me. Hazel also had some good experiences on the ship that I would like to experience. Hazel has made a handful of friends along the way. Later in the story, she met a porter named Charlie who even helped Hazel get a room that she could stay in. Charlie knew the stakes, if someone found out that he helped someone get a room he would get fired from his job. He also needs his job because his family is also in poverty so he needs the money for his family and himself. Before, Hazel slept in areas that people would never sleep in. Near the end of the book, while the Titanic was sinking, Hazel wanted to save Charlie and bring him on a lifeboat. Yet Charlie wanted to sit back and save others, he said that he felt guilty because others deserved to live more than him. This for me, is an amazing friend who I would admire forever.  Another friend she made, is a elder woman named Mrs. Abelman, who lends her a notebook, and continues Hazel’s passion of writing and being a journalist. The Mollisons stole Hazel’s belongings in Hazel’s room, due to the door of her room being slightly open. Later, Mrs. Abelman helps with that, Mr. Mollison likes to gamble so he gambles a lot. Mrs. Abelman knows that so she gambles one on one against him. The stakes were high, if Mr. Mollison won, then Mrs. Abelman would have to give the Mollisons the contents of her safe deposits. But instead of the Mollisons winning, Mrs. Abelman won, and she proposed an exchange of everything on the table - all of the chips and all of the money that was there, for Hazel’s bag that the Mollisons stole. Almost everybody- if not everybody, would think that was a terrible exchange, hundreds or thousands of dollars, just for Hazel’s bag. Also when the Titanic was sinking, Mrs. Abelman stayed back and helped others before herself. Sadly she did not make it out due to her heroism and courage. This is a must experience for me because it just shows the bond and friendship between Hazel and Mrs. Abelman. Also how Mrs. Abelman is such a strong and selfless person. If I were her, I probably would just go on the lifeboat. So this is also a truly good friend I would have. Lastly, Hazel made a friend named Sylvia, who is a part of a very wealthy family. Sylvia knows that Hazel goes to first class although she isn’t first class. So Sylvia gives Hazel one of her dresses so that Hazel would look like a first class passenger. Later in the story Sylvia suggests that Hazel should be her companion, and that Hazel would also get paid to do so. Hazel likes the offer, but Hazel’s governess, Miss Gruber might get fired if Hazel accepts. So instead Hazel declines the offer so that Miss Gruber wouldn’t get fired. This is why I wouldn’t want to experience most of the story.

I would not want to go through the same experience as Natalie. Seeing my mom going through bad mental health problems and extreme depression will really slow me down and feel bad and worried. But if I ever found something that entertains me and makes me happy and that can help with those problems I think that would be a good choice. When I saw Natalie joining the Science competition and making friends and Natalie’s mom going to therapy that kind of made me hopeful for Natalie and her mother because it’s kind of opened a new journey that her and her mom can follow in order to get out of depression and see a new bright and good life.

I would not be interested in having any of the experiences in the book Chinese Cinderella for many reasons.

First off, Adeline was born in her family, where she was seen as the "unwanted daughter". She was treated like this because when she was born, her biological mother died due to the complications from Adeline's birth. I don't feel that anyone should ever have to go through this kind of experience in their life, and neither would I.

Following Adeline's birth, her father meets a young half-French, half-Chinese woman named Niang. She would physically and emotionally abuse Adeline in many ways. For example, Niang would send Adeline to walk miles to school in the harsh weather every morning. Adeline was not often allowed to use the family rickshaw, and she even almost had to walk to school alone during a typhoon. Unfortunately, I don't have the same drive for education to walk miles to school every morning.

Another reason why I would not want to live the same life as Adeline Yen Mah is because of how her father only showed affection towards her when she had won academic awards. Adeline worked very hard in school and usually received top marks on all of her exams. Her father only showed affection towards her because he felt that Adeline winning academic awards brought pride to the family name.

My last reason for not wanting to experience the same life as Adeline is because of the fact that Niang sent Adeline away to boarding school. I personally don't think I could survive alone in a life without my parents, far away from home, at such a young age. Although, Adeline ended up being thrilled about the thought of being in a boarding school, I couldn't bear the feeling of being homesick and not being able to see my siblings and parents.

So, in summary, I would not want to live the same life as Adeline Yen Mah for many reasons, including being alone, being abused, and not being showed any affection by my family.

I would have liked to experience most of the events in the time machine. I feel like the majority of the events would have been fun to experience and would also have been a learning experience. The first event I would like to talk about would be when the Time Traveler saves Weena from drowning. I feel like if I experienced this, I would be scared, but it would be thrilling. I may not be able to save her though because I would likely be in shock, but it would give me a good scaring experience. The second event I would like to talk about would be when the Eloi are going to their houses because it is going to be dark soon. The Time Traveler then sees a group of shadows moving across the forest. I would be thrilled and scared at the same time, but I probably wouldn't think it is anything. I would likely assume that the shadows were more Eloi. The third event will be going against what I said about me being okay experiencing most of the events. I would not like to experience the event where the Time Traveler is fighting the Morlocks in the fire, that the Time Traveler caused by setting a piece of Camphor and dry vegetation on fire. I would be scared fighting in a forest with fire surrounding me. Another thing that would discourage me from experiencing this event would be seeing how Weena dies in the fire. This is sad to me and also discourages me from experiencing this event because Weena was very kind to the time traveler. The last and final event I want to talk about would be how the Time Traveler travels to the time when all life on earth is beginning to die. I would like to experience this and it would be sad seeing the sun get larger and hotter, along with killing all life on earth. This would be sad because as the sun gets larger in the sky, the more life is gone. This would be an interesting event to experience and I would like to experience it. This is why I would like to experience most of the events in the book, The Time Machine.

I would not like to have the same experiences as Adeline in the story, Chinese Cinderella. What her most obvious best trait is, at least according to her peers, are her academics. I admire her love for learning. She truly values her education, which is something I value as well. However, the reason she is so determined to do well in school is because of striving for her father’s approval. Adeline is evidently unloved by her family, and those who truly did love her, have left her or been sent away every time. Her written memories of her youth appear to be extremely lonely. She is often alone for long spans of time, and does not feel wanted by anyone throughout her childhood. I would not want to have that experience. Adeline’s step-mother cruelly leaves her at faraway boarding schools repetitively, in which she always excels, but is also taken away after getting comfortable. Adeline takes a bit of time at each school, but she adapts to her environment. However, she is then taken away and sent to a new one, where she is made to adapt all over again. Her father continuously turns a blind eye. Nor does he attempt to contact her. In some cases, he may have been manipulated by Adeline’s stepmother. In other events, he seems to simply not care about his second daughter. Adeline is also envied by her siblings for her ability to persevere her love of learning with excellence, and is hence ignored and some would say, hated by them. Their dislike towards her started by her mother passing away while she was giving birth to Adeline. In which they continuously and give evidence she has been loathed by the very type of people some might call their best friends, all her life. Despite the obvious dislike by her family, Adeline doesn’t hold disdain towards them. This makes her feel more pure to her readers, showing that she has continued to be a decent person despite her family’s interventions. In many cases, she is left to figure out things that should be handled by someone close to her; however, she has none. It provides an air of helplessness that conjures pity from the audience towards her. As someone who has mostly not lacked resources needed for growth, I can not, to any extent of mind, picture myself in Adeline’s life without feeling completely alone. It amazes me how she has continued on with her life away in happiness without the care of her family or any resources on all the things that were normally taught by parents. I find this especially impressive since it was generally considered taboo to talk about those things at the time, which means she would, most likely, be unable to communicate with even her friends about it. The feeling of loneliness and inability to feel like I belong anywhere, whether with my family or friends, would be too much for me. As such, I would be completely miserable in my own existence, and would decline quickly. I do not have Adeline’s perseverance and determination to live life to the fullest, although I do try. So, I would not like to have the same experiences as Adeline in the story, Chinese Cinderella.

No, I wouldn’t exactly like being kidnapped by a random russian, being forced to meet my childhood friend, and risking my life by trying to save said friend. Also, Alaska is COLD. I despise winter, and also, Maddie was living in a cabin where the bathroom and kitchen were in the same place. I would hate that, because I like my privacy. As well as the experience in the book wasn’t the greatest. Logan and Maddie had to walk for days, in the freezing cold, and were injured. I wouldn’t want to be Logan or Maddie, but if I was Logan, I wouldn’t like that either. Being constantly endangered would be nerve-wracking. Knowing that your life is always at a risk is daunting to even think about, as it’s similar to walking on a tightrope of life or death. You just wait for a strong gust of wind to sway you one way or the other. I can also relate to Maddie hating Logan for never replying to her letters, and then suddenly showing up in her life. I speculate that Maddie felt her efforts were wasted. She spent days, weeks, months, YEARS, trying to reach out. Then he suddenly comes back into her life like nothing happened? No way. That’s actually unacceptable, because Logan thinks he can just waltz right into her perfect Alaskan life, after she’s spent years sending letters to him, and he ignores them? That’s just idiotic. Yet, being friends with the president’s son does sound tempting. Especially since he could get all the personal chefs, a nice wardrobe, and a lot of money. However, the downside is that since there are hitmen, assassins, and more, they would either target the president, president’s son, or president’s wife. So, if I were around the president’s son, they would probably take me down just to take him down as well. That doesn’t sound like a fun experience AT ALL. Some things I like about this book are the plot twists. I also like how they developed Stefan’s character, instead of leaving him in the background as an anonymous character. I really enjoyed how they gave him a little backstory, giving the readers an imaginative process to think about. I also liked how they added the letters on each new chapter, further explaining the dedication Maddie went through to try and contact Logan, even whilst in the middle of nowhere.

I would not be interested in experiencing such events as seen in the book. Today, I will go over why.

For starters, one reason I would not be interested in these experiences would be due to what happens in Chapter 7. In this chapter, the Time Traveler begins to explore the Morlocks and their underground systems. He finds the environment unsteady--absence of light through the tunnels, humidity everywhere along the way--until he encounters the Morlocks. Pale, large-eyed creatures, similar to apes, that have adapted to such dark environments. These creatures displeased him, and I personally think I'd find them frightening myself. He runs through the tunnels, dependent on lit matchsticks as a light source, but to little avail, as they are not long-lasting. Finally, the Morlocks strike, causing him to bleed, and putting him into pain--said pain must be more excruciating when experienced firsthand by someone much younger... 12 years old to be exact. He scrambles back up, retreating. He realizes that the Morlocks are clearly stronger than he thought, and the Eloi are not the dominant species.

This is simply one reason why I would not like to go through the experiences seen in H.G. Wells' book The Time Machine, but I guarantee there are more.

I’m not interested in the whole “Ship sinking” experience but I would be interested in the experience of seeing the original Titanic and enjoying the nice and relaxing voyage before all that craziness and chaos. The main character whose name is Hazel Rothbury, describes the amazement of just the sight of the Titanic. I want to experience that great feeling of awe. The Titanic was the biggest man made object of its time, so what did I expect? I would also want to explore the Titanic like the main character, seeing the first, second, and third class areas and all the decks. About the ship sinking, I actually would want to witness the sinking, from a safe and far distance like any sensible person would do. I would like to tell people about the Titanic’s great voyage and the not so great sinking. The main character did write an article in the newspaper about the voyage and the sinking in the book. I sort of understand why the main character wants to find all the mysteries in the ship, because she’s a third class person and there’s not much she can do for entertainment. She also was a curious person who wanted to share how the trip was and meet other people. At the end of the book, there were some facts and fictions in the book about the Titanic. I wonder if someone confessed about these facts or someone else had seen the secrets that the Titanic was keeping, like the main character. The Titanic’s sinking was responsible for many deaths, and it became such an important event in history, and people wanted to learn more about it. Another experience I would enjoy is meeting the famous people on board such as J. Bruce Ismay, who was the owner of White Star Line, the company who owned the Titanic. I would also want to learn about the Titanic itself and all of its parts that make it function. Hazel, who again is the main character, asked the crew members about the Titanic and thought of possibilities of how the Titanic might sink. She didn’t want the Titanic to sink, she was just curious, that’s all. But her worries became reality, for the Titanic did sink, the way she thought how the Titanic would sink if it did. I would like to make friends on the ship and have adventures with them. Hazel had also made a friend while boarding the ship, whose name was Sylvia Thorngood and they both had done daring adventures and feats on the ship together. So those are experiences I want to enjoy. The book Iceberg is a great book to read, it’s easy to understand, and it really just brings the Titanic’s story back to life. Though a few things were made-up, the book does make people understand about the great ship’s maiden voyage. Thought to be unsinkable, the actions of many things, brought down the ship, voyage, and countless lives. We thank the people who worked till their last breath for other souls of need. Those people’s names will be remembered in the history of the Titanic’s last breath.

I would not want to have the same experiences Natalie experiences in the book because I would not want to see my mother struggle with depression and pain, watching your mother struggle and not being able to help would break me, however I like how Natalie handled the situation and stayed strong fighting for her mom and self. That can be really hard for someone who is fighting for herself. I admire her strength and how she deals with her problems but not her experiences. The egg drop contest that she did with her friends show her teamwork and her cool ideas.

I would not be interested in having the experiences in the book happen to me because in the time machine a lot of scary things happen to the main character. For example. in chapter 3 the time traveler walks into the room with a cut on his chin, bloody socks, he’s starving, and barely talks. That means something bad happened, and honestly, I’d rather just stay home than time travel. Also, in Chapter 10, the Morlocks swarm him in the dark, and he can’t even see them. That just sounds terrifying. Also, in the book there is no other highly intelligent humans in the future which would be kind of being terrifying because I'm the only person who would not know what's happening Also, I would miss my parents, so I have no purpose in going.

Yes this book reminds me of any other book i have read in my past life. What I have read in my past life was Cinderella. Adeline's stepmother, Niang, is consistently cruel and abusive, favoring her own biological children while treating Adeline (and treating the stepsisters just like Adline but a little bit less) with failing to treat them properly. The classic wicked stepmother and stepsisters who make Cinderella's life miserable. Adeline's father, while he is present in the story, is emotionally absent and largely controlled by Niang. He fails to protect Adeline from her stepmother's crucial abuse. This is similar to the book Cinderella because Cinderella's father also doesn't help his daughter. Adeline is blamed for her mothers death during child birth, leading to her being named “bad luck” and is treated as an outcast by her family. This shows that this creates a powerful sense of being unwanted or unloved, much like Cinderella's lowly status in her own home. In traditional Cinderella, it's a fairy godmother or magical elements (like talking animals or a wishing tree) that provide the meaning of how Cinderella escapes her circumstances, at least temporarily. For adeline, her “magic” comes in the form of her academic brilliance and the presence of education. This is her path of self-worth, independence, and eventually, escape from her abusive home. Her intelligence and achievements are her “glass slipper.” Both cinderelles find love and acceptance. While the fairy tale Cinderella seeks love from a prince,  Adeline really wants love and approval from her family, especially her father. Her success in school is often  pushed away by this desire. Despite all the emotions and sometimes physical abuse, both Cinderellas have a rise above hardships. Adeline, through her perseverance and intelligent processes, carves out a successful life for herself, showing an ability to overcome a truly traumatic childhood. The most crucial difference, and what makes “Chinese Cinderella” so impactful, is that it's memorable. It's Adeline Yen Mah's true life story. This shows the familiar themes of the Cinderella narrative in a harsh reality. In both stories, the protagonist's father is absent most of the time or unable to protect Adeline from abuse. In easier wording it would be a dead mother, an uncaring and indifferent father, evil stepmother, unkind stepsiblings( even biological siblings), rejection and abandonment. Adeline is emotionally not invited to family outings, and sent away to boarding schools more often. Adelines does not have magic like the book/movie of Cinderella, but what adeline does have is her teacher, friends, and her grandfather offer encouragement that helps her realize what she is worthy for. Adeline does not have a prince but she wins a writing competition, which shows her chance to study in England which is her escape from the evil family and a new beginning. Despite all years of abuse to Adeline. Through intelligence she manages to escape her rude home and achieves remarkable succuses, becoming a respected writer and doctor who circles around to be her “happily ever after”.

I wouldn’t be interested of having this kind of experiences in the book because if I went back in time then I might forget how to come back and I won’t be able to see my mom and dad and I would be stuck in time. I also don’t want to go back in time because I won’t know where I would be and I will be confused. Even though I don’t want to go back in time I think it will still be cool to go back in time because then I can be getting more money by getting a job and I can also get to know more on what happend back then. This is why I wouldn’t be interested of having this kind of experiences in the book

No, I don’t think I want to have the same stuff happen like in The Time Machine. The Time Traveller goes to the future and it’s not cool, it’s weird and scary. The little people, the Eloi, is boring and don’t do much. Then the Morlocks come and they is creepy and live in dark places. i wouldn’t want to go there. It sounds dangerous and not fun. Also, the Time Traveller almost got stuck there forever. I like reading about it, but I don’t want to do it myself. I’d rather stay here where it’s normal and not scary.
