Right now in my book Cameron is talking and is almost in the tower trying to save her brother.  Farley is faking pain in her pregnant belly so the guards come to her and give Cameron and Harrick a clear path to the tower.  Adding on Cameron is almost double crossing Cal because they were planning to do it together however Cameron did not agree with his plan so she told Farley right away and they set off with Harrick who can make allusions so they could sneak into the tower and rescue Morrey. Before hand the scarlet guard forged war on the silvers there and the red officers turned on them which was a big help. They attacked and won the war there and in the tower silver soldiers are holding reds as prisoners including Morrey Cameron's twin brother. They are striking Maven hard in attempt to free Mare from his grasp. However I still wonder if both Harrick and Cameron will escape the tower alive and with Morrey

1.) Mare is the lightning girl!  She is loving and caring for her family and for Cal but her heart is easily mislead.  She was a poor red that turned into the valuable and powerful lightning girl.  She is amazing however if given the choice she might choose wrong she is becoming a monster due to the things she has faced.  She is also very smart and although captured by Maven she is using it to her advantage by listening.  She also has dark crazy hair that has gray spreading from her ends to her roots(although she is only 18) she is very pretty and is a remarkable girl.
3.)The most emotional part in the book was when Maven turned on her.  He was the perfect guy and now he is her worst enemy.  This affected me in many ways, I thought Maven was good and he would get Mare though this.  However he manipulated her and his mother used him like a puppet.  I wanted to cry do to this scene in the book, Maven was Perfect and then turned into an evil monster .
5.)I would change Maven being a bad person because I hate how he was amazing and then was horrible!  I would change it so the king and queen Elara betray them instead and Cal dies so he doesn't ruin anything with Maven and Mare.  I would change it to this part because like Mare I loved who Maven was and I wish he could still be like that.  I also wish he did not have to go through what he did with his own mother attacking his head.  Also I feel like Maven could be a big part of the story that isn't bad and evil.
11.)I would recommend the whole series to a billion other readers.The reason for this is the book includes everything and always keeps you satisfied and wanting more.  Also the books have adventure and fiction but makes it all seem real almost as though you are Mare the main character.  All kinds of people will love this book and anyone who has already read it LOVED it!! It always brings something new into the story as well /never repeats something , always interesting.
12.)Diary... UGH why does she always have to do this to me, I try to show her that I care and she keeps getting me to talk to her and tell her valuable things!  I wish it weren't like this she probably thinks everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie.  I miss her and lover her.  Why can't Mare love me back!! Why did my mo have to scramble up my head in to an evil perfect monster!  I just want someone who I can love, trust, and have them care for me in turn.  I miss Mare and US.  I want her to know that I would do anything for her and I can't let go of the only person that loved me for me and who is MARE.  Please Mare forgive me. I love you.
-KING Maven

The Red Sun

Alane Adams

Pg. 305

Summary : Sam Barconian has broken Jasper out of jail and is sailing to the ring of brogar in attempt to end the red sun and save his friend Howie.  He keeps looking at the horn and thinking about Odin and how disappointed he would be in him so instead of trading with the witches for Howie he is going to fight so he gave the horn to Jasper and he brought it to Odin.  He knew he was betraying his great grandfather who was a greek god and although he wanted to save Howie he gave back the horn because of his guilt and confidence in his own powers and what they can do.

Reading Response: A conclusion that I am drawing is that Sam feels very guilty about stealing the Gjall horn from Odin his Great grandfather.  He could not stand betraying Odin’s trust, even though the prices he had to pay were very high he gave back the horn, if he didn't he could have saved his friend but that wasn't the most important thing at the moment.  Sam gave up the easy ability to make a trade with the witches and instead was loyal to Odin and was confident in his own powers to defeat Endera. This moment is important because it is choosing the side he has chosen which is good not evil.  He has now chosen his life of fighting bad and is ready to take on the witches!  I predict that he will overcome them and destroy them with the power hidden in him for he is the son of Odin the great greek god and Rubicus the Great he-witch that almost destroyed the realm.

The Red Sun

Alane Adams

Pg. 273

Summary: Sam went to Asgard and found the great Odin however he has taken the Gjall horn and is going to make a trade with the witches for Howie but that may not be the right decision.  He has drank Odin’s fury and is now on a quest to the land of the damned souls (the fourth realm)to ask Sinmara for help.  But he is wasting time and the madness has already started among the people and soon villages will be gone and humanity in Orney will be over unless Sam does the right thing and saves them all.

Reading Response:  I wonder why Sam has changed his mind about saving Howie? At first Sam was saying how he would never leave his friends behind and he will always save them and he will worry about the cursed sun once his friend is saved.  However as if now he says how saving this world and others is bigger than Howie and saving him compared to saving billions of people doesn’t even out.  I think Sam will make the right decision and I hope he does not waste his time making the trade with the witches.  This is important to the text because he is holding billions of lives in his hands and this might be the biggest decision of his life.  This is also important because it is a matter of betraying Odin or earning his trust which would be the smart thing to do with an all powerful greek god. I think that Sam will end up Saving Orkney and all other worlds attached plus Howie and I predict that he will fix everything and it will turn out that everyone was saved.

Adventure Book Character Claim Post #2 due BOP 4/5

# data[].attributes.body
Current page #: 227
Character Name: Samuel Barconian (Baron)
Claim: Sam is a nice kid but has a dark side.
Evidence/Data:
1. When Sam had his Birthday Party Ronnie said something mean to him then Sam attacked him and had never felt so much anger and does not even remember pounding his face until he crushed Ronnie's nose. (Adams, 28)
2.Sam looked up at the sun and felt a surge of power inside him then his eyes started to glow and he attacked Mavery and threw her with his magic and he could not control what he was doing.  (Adams, 129-130)
3.He was battling against the biters and used the sun to tap into in a dark language and send the biters away.(Adams, 156)
Warrant: Sam is a nice kid but has a dark side in the text it says how Sam first at his birthday party freaked out on Ronnie after he said something mean to him.  Besides that Sam can contain himself however if his anger is urged by someone he can't even remember what happens he just attacks which shows his dark side.  Adding on another point where he showed a side that wars cruel and angry was when he starred up at the red sun and felt a surge of power run through him. Mavery tried to stop him from looking at it but he was in a trance and then his eyes glowed red he turned to Mavery insulted her then with his magic threw her across the forest floor leaving her with a bloody knee. He is a different person when he is mad and the way he acts is unforgivable and un-merciful. Lastly, Sam also used his connection with the poison sun to bring out a language that he has never known before to warn away hungry bloodsucking biters. This shows that Sam can have a dark side when he is angry and when the sun is in his view of sight. However he is a very nice boy that is very kind and loves his friends and family however has a dark side and can/will carry out actions that he may not remember but can be unforgivable.

Main Character: Mare Barrow
Secondary Character(s):
1. Cal - He likes Mare and Mare likes him, he is strong, a controller of fire, a silver.  He is loving and caring and understanding.  But as if now he is a little confused and does not trust Mare after what he has seen her do to people.
2. Kilorn- He is in love with with Mare but she does not feel the same way and he knows that.  He is still a boy and very lucky he keeps surviving.  He is caring and a loves to joke around, but he might not get through the unforgiving war that Mare created.

Interesting Noticing:  I noticed that although Mare and Cal said no distractions they still stay together.  They still love each other and they can't hide it.  Mare is also becoming more heartless every time she kills someone as well she is becoming a monster and I don't think Cal can get past that.

Book Title:  Legends of Orkney The Red Sun
Author: Alane Adams
Date Started: 3/28/17
Reading Rate: 6 pgs per 10 min /48 pgs per week
Current Page #: 121
Main Character: Sam(Samuel).  He is a regular boy who lived a normal life until his teacher disappeared and was replaced with an unusual woman who claimed to have turned his old teacher into a lizard.  After he found this was true his friends got dragged into it and he goes on a quest to save Orkney and his friends (he is the last knows offspring of Odin) He is tempered, protective of his friends Howie and Keely, and loves his family even if they are from different worlds.
Secondary Character(s):
1. Rego: He is a dwarf who is almost like a father figure to Sam he protects him through his journey and although sam does not listen to him all the time he still cares about him and tries to save him whenever he can.  He is caring, stern, strict, and protective of Sam.
2. Howie: He is Sam's best friend and he gets beat up a lot but Sam always comes to the rescue and fights them.  Howie is a bit of a coward and will not punch the bullies back or even stand up for himself but that is what Sam is for.  He is funny, caring, and loyal to Sam, and believes in him.  Howie recently got kidnapped by Endura.
POV: 3rd person
Setting: Orkney (Ninth Realm) / School/ Sams house
Interesting Noticing: I noticed that Sam is falling more towards his mom's side and is starting to despise his father he needs to follow the right path and make the right choices.  He is caring about his friends more that the people of Orkney and he is being blinded by his anger and the witch inside him.  Also Sam trusted the last people he should have trusted and that could be a big problem for him in the coming up events.

1)The main character of the Thief Lord would probably be Prosper.  I would describe him as protective, and strong because he is very protective of his little brother Bo and does not let him steal like the rest of the kids or go anywhere without prosper.  He is strong because he took Bo all the way to Venice and made a life for them without starving or being homeless and he is only 12 years old.
2)Some Secondary characters are Bo, Hornet, Riccio, Mosca, Victor Esther, Scipio and Ida these people are important because Esther is the one who only wants Bo and not prosper and who they are running away from.  Ida is the one that gives them an actual home at the end, Victor is the detective who was sent after the kids and helped them escape.  The rest were the kids who Prosper and Bo lived with and Scipio stole stuff from his house to give money to the kids.
3) The main problem of the book is that Esther their aunt only wants Bo and is going to send prosper away to bourding school so they ran away.
4)He resolved this problem by running away and making a life for them in venice and at the end finding a home for them.
5)I like how Prosper and Bo had got to Venice and had not starved to death or were in any loss of clothes etc. They had made a family of their own and got money to pay for supplies all on their own!
6)Something I did not like was how Riccio and Mosca had left at the end to go live on their own again instead of living with Ida and the rest of the kids! I hate that they did that because they could get hurt alone or even worse!

# data[].attributes.body
pg 342-343
Right now Scipio turns up again and asks Victor to give him a job and Victor agrees.

I am curious when Victor agrees to give scipio a job with him what will happen to them and will they become well known? Also Scipio looks exactly like Dottore Massimo so how will people react. In addition Scipio said he would contact his father and I wonder what will happen when he decides to see him again or will he? This is very confusing but I hope that Scipio sees his father soon and his father knows that he is safe.

# data[].attributes.body
pg 316
Right now Scipio just left and riccio and Mosca are going to move into an abandoned house and leave Ida's house where they have a bed and food prepared for them. But hornet Bo and Prosper are planning on staying.

I am not sure why Riccio and Mosca would want to leave but they say it is because they have always lived a life on their own without any grown ups. I do not understand why they would leave they have a family almost there and warm comfort with Ida spavento. I feel really bad that everyone is leaving Ida but I wish that they would stay at least prosper and bo and hornet are staying with her. Riccio and Mosca have no way of contacting Ida or Victor except for riding their boat so if something happens to them no one will know until it is too late! They need to understand the dangers!!

Esther is about to take barbossa out for ice cream because she THINKS that he is the perfect little angel and she might want to keep him. Also she hates her nephews so much she does not want them any more and she does not even want to say goodbye.

I really got into the story when esther is about to take babarino and adopt him because she is walking into a TRAP! He is a little devil that just wants her money and I can not believe she won't even say goodbye to her nephews and instead of looking for bo she risked having him freeze to death. She does not understand responsibility and she is a cruel old woman. But what babarino has in mind for her is what she will regret. I can not believe either that she fell for his little angel face!! It was a great trick that prosper and bo played on her!

pg 278-279
Scipio is going on the Merry go round of the merciful sisters which can either make you older or younger.  And he is about to jump off and become a grown man!

OH NO !!!! What is Scipio doing.  I got really into the book when Scipio decided to go on the merry-go-round what if it breaks or he does not jump off in time there is too much risks that he is taking right now and he has to learn from Prosper because Prosper is not going on. He is not using his common sense he needs to see what he is doing, he is going through more than 10 years of his life literally in the blink of an eye!! If he never gets changed back how is he going to tell his father what happened no one will believe him and he will be stuck like that forever.... I just hope he know what he is getting himself into

# data[].attributes.body
pg 259
Right now in my book Esther called the detective and told him that Bo had run away again and they do not want him back anymore because he is a disgraceful little boy.

I really got into the story when Bo ran away and Esther does not want him anymore because he was a bad kid. He is not just a shoe she tries on then throws away because it does not fit...she barely even had him for a DAY!! Now what will happen to BO he is all alone and he ran away and it is winter he could freeze to death or get kidnapped. What is the detective going to do? How will he find Bo in time to save him from the dangerous streets of venice.

# data[].attributes.body
pg 251
In my book right now Bo has just been found with hornet in the hide out and now Bo is with Esther and Hornet is in the merciful sisters orphanage but the detective and Ida Spavento got her and took in the rest of the gang into Ida's home, but Prosper is scared he will never see his brother and I think he is going to do something he will regret.

What is going to happen to Scipio and Prosper they are all alone , no on knows where they are and they are breaking into the isola Segreta.  How will they get past the dogs(Mastiffs)  and why does Scipio want to be all grown up.  what is something goes wrong and he can't change back!! Than is not a chance that I would take.  I really hope Prosper does not do anything stupid either because he is hurting form BO being taken away from him.  He needs to stop and realize what he is doing!! He is being an immature little kid.

I got really into the story when the little lady with the gray hair started shooting at them.  They could have died but it was lucky that Ida reacted so quickly.  However I am very intrigued with what they saw on the secret island and how there were two big dogs and a gate with statues.  I wonder what was behind the gate and what the conte was up to.  I also wonder whether the merry-go-round was actually there and what the conte wanted the wing for and why he payed so much money to get it from a group of kids?

# data[].attributes.body
pg 208
I am afraid that they might get caught stalking conte. However I am not sure what the conte would do if he found out. Would he kill them? Would he send them back? Would he let them come along with him? Also the fact that they are doing it with Ida spavento, what does she have to do with it and will she adopt them, because I think she might...considering that they broke into her house and she did not even call the cops on them! I wonder what will become of this, or what they will find stalking the conte to see where he has gone.

# data[].attributes.body
pg 201
I am a little worried about Prosper, Riccio, and Mosca because if they get lost or captured then Hornet and Bo will be alone and they won't know where to find them which would have a bad affect on their money and supplies. They need this money but I am not sure if it is legit and nothing fishy is going on. Mosca, Riccio, and Prosper have to be very careful in this situation for he does not know if the Conte is holding any tricks up his sleeve.

# data[].attributes.body
pg 171
I really got into the story when they were found Scippio in the house also robbing the place!! After they found out that he was a filthy rich kid and he probably hadn't stole anything in his life they had no idea they were going to find the "Thief Lord" stealing again. Also were they now going to help each other out or will they just ignore each other because of the dirty little secret that Scippio kept from all them. All I know is that Bo, Prosper, Mosca, Riccio, and Hornet are the ones who actually need that money. Because once the break in gets out the detective will tell Esther and Prosper and Bo need somewhere to live.

# data[].attributes.body
pg 169
At first I thought that Bo was very stubborn but in this passage when it says how he threatened to wake up everyone in the house they were robbing was way out of hand. He does not know the consequences of his actions, they could get caught because of him and Bo will be sent to live with Esther and Prosper will be sent away. Bo really needs to stop yelling or he will get all of them caught and put in jail!!

# data[].attributes.body
pg 167
Oh no what if they get caught and go to jail! They are being very risky to sneak into the Ida Spavento's house it could be a trap or even worse. Also Bo could ruin the whole thing if he keeps yelling a Prosper. What if there is no wing in the house and Conte was lying that is a possibility and Hornet, Riccio and Mosca did not even take that into consideration. Adding on they should not have gone without Prosper and then brought BO with them because Prosper is the smartest and if something happens he will be separated from his brother and the others won't know what to do.

Some similarities is that there is still many theaters where we live but it is different because there are many statues and engravings there because it is in Venice.  Also they are speaking Italian there where as we speak english so languages are a difference between us and Italy or the U.S and the book. Another difference is that Venice is pretty much made out of water and has waterways instead of streets. However something that is similar is that there is many people walking through Venice because there are many sights to see, same thing with america!

# data[].attributes.body
The setting looks like a big abandoned movie theater with the projector gone and the curtain was mostly eaten by moths and the seats are almost gone and the rest are ripped and eaten. It usually sounds very echo like in there because it is so big and it feels very big like a huge cave but to them it feels like home.

The setting/time period is in Venice when it starts getting colder/beginning of winter .  Also it is in modern time. And it usually takes place in an abandoned movie theater where they live and also in the square where they buy essential needs.
