One interpretation, one theory, we’ve developed as a class is about hope – how hope helps Kek move forward, how he hopes to find his mom.
But when we studied the scene between Kek and Ganwar (who doesn’t have hope and tries to convince Kek that it is silly to hope), we weren’t sure if the author was telling us that hope is a good thing or a bad thing. Even though this is case, I believe the author does want us to learn to be hopeful. She includes a character like Ganwar to show us that not everyone has the same outlook on life and what life is like without hope.
I feel it is so important to be hopeful, work hard to accomplish your goals, and be optimistic. Kek is a true example of being hopeful because he has been through so much heartache, yet he refuses to give up. He is an inspiration!

I just started the book and it is very interesting. The most important part so far is that Percy Jackson is half-blooded and dreams about crazy this and they come to life in his world when they really don't. One dream he had that came true was a teacher was talking to him and he was getting in trouble by the teacher. He was fighting the teach with swords and the teacher want Percy Jackson to die! He thought there was a teacher named Mrs.Dobbs when there was no teacher Mrs.Dobbs. One teacher was getting curious about Percy Jackson. There is a girl named Namcy Bobofit and she is really mean to Percy Jackson. She reminds me of Jack Will and Julian from the book Wonder. Nancy is mean like Jack and Julian to August. Nancy bullies Percy Jackson just like August. August and Percy Jackson both have a disability. That was about what i read about my book!!!!!

The book is written by SHARRON ROBINSON! she is Jackies daughter. She writes about how hard it was to live in the time where there was segregation. She also writes about how she grew up with the popularity of her dad. A quote she  said is very sad and every time i look at it i want to cry. "The assembled campers looked like a see of white faces, being the only black girl in a group of 80 campers brought the unusual pang of insecurity. That made me super sad because she felt left out. The lesson of this book is to never think of yourself of less than you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]> 2016-10-14 18:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130847881 giulia https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130847898 todaay i read the lightning queen. i only got up to a few of pages in but so fare there's a lot going on. the boys name is mateo.  he seems like a  funny character. the story is in Mexico. ( that's where it takes place ). also the grandpa but a necklace in his face that was made of diamands and started to wag it in his face. the boy asked what he was doing and the boy was very confused. i think an inpatont part in this chapter is when the boy said' my feet barely tuched the floor'. i think that was an inportent part because it is like he's flying. so fre i realy like this book. i would give it 5 stars.]]> 2016-10-14 18:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130847898 Sparky/Parker https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130847989 The book I am currently reading is Percy Jackson The lightning thief, The Olympians. This book is so cool! It's about this boy named Percy who is very strange, because he sees through the mist of the world and sees monsters, and people with half human half horse bodies. Percy is asked to go on a quest to get back Zeus's lightning bolt to mount Olympus in ten days. If he doesn't return the bolt in ten days to mount olympus he will set Zeus and Poseidon to war. Poseidon is Percy's dad/god so that means that Zeus thinks that Percy is a victim for stealing the bolt. That is why Zeus is mad at Poseidon]]> 2016-10-14 18:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130847989 LIAM https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848060

The lesson in the book is to never stop believing. The reason I think this is that in the book Cordie doesn't believe that their mom is a selkie. Ione does and she believes a lot of other things that Cordie doesn't believe in. Also when Ione keeps believing, good stuff happens to them. Cordie wants to discourage Ione thoughts that her mom is a selkie. ]]> 2016-10-14 18:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848147 Amelia Do https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848194 2016-10-14 18:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848194 Marino https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848311 The book i am re]]> 2016-10-14 18:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848311 bradley https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848524 the book i am reading is amulet: escape from luciean book six.  the most important part so far is when navin got him and his mom kicked out of class on cloud island navin and his mom live on a giant air boat that flys all around luffen and windsor. this is a  important part because it lets them go down to the loading dock and practice with there mechs for there assignment ]]> 2016-10-14 18:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848524 Gabby https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848541 The book I am currently reading is I FUNNY. A boy is on stage and is going to make everyone laugh by telling jokes. He is very nervous. All he says is "No, I'm Jamie Grimm." and that's supposed to be the punch line. Then he says "Um, hi. The other day at school, we had this substitute teacher. Very tough. Sort of like Mrs. Darth Vader. Had the heavy breathing, the deep voice. During roll call, she said, 'Are you chewing gum, young man?'  And I said 'No, I'm Jamie Grimm." ' Only a few people chuckled. That is a good start. I like this book so far.]]> 2016-10-14 18:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848541 Chelsea https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848663 the book i am reading is called I FUNNY. i like this book so much!something very important that happended in the book how Jammie Grimm (the mane character) he moved to a new school in long beach and he needs to find a way to fight all the bullies. His way to figure it out is to use comedy since his dream ids to have the funniest kid comic in the world. He wants to fight bullying by saying jokes. For example if he sees someone getting bullied he will tell the bully a joke so the bully can laugh so hard and the person getting bullied can run. ]]> 2016-10-14 18:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848663 Maeve https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130848760 The book I am currently reading is Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K.

I really like this book because this book is not like other ones I have read. this book is different because everything that Greg (the main character) thinks is really bad going to happen. One thing is everybody who lives in his town has to let go of their electric for a weekend .Greg doesn't like this idea because what if something really bad happens like a zombie can come out nowhere and his town would be last to know. Everything is bad that is happening on the first day with out phones. i wonder what will happen in the next day with out using electronics. ]]> 2016-10-14 18:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130849596 William https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130849897 The book I am currently reading is Flora & Ulysses.

I am currently reading diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney. I finished yesterday but one lesson I learned was face the consequences of your mistakes because when Greg was on safety patrol he borrowed his friend Rowleys rain jacket and when he took the kindergartners home he chased them with a worm. He got in trouble but the person thought it was Rowley because his coat has a R on it. nobody knew it was Greg until Rowley got kicked off the safety patrol Greg told him ]]> 2016-10-14 18:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130851275 Marino https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130851658  The book i am reading is called The Landry News.

Rowling. The lesson in this book is to be brave.
    One reason I think this is because even after almost getting caught Harry still sneaks out of the Griffindor common room in the middle of the night. 
    Also, Harry potter could have not gave Norbert to Charlie and just quit because he thought they might get caught. He could have just gave up but he didn't and he had no fear at all.
     Another reason i think this is because when Snape was casting spells on Harrys broom he did not cry or show and fear. he just tried to get back up even in a hard time like that.
    Lastly, when Harry was still with the Dursleys he did not get scared of the spiders and i kind of got the feeling that there were alot of them. 
  In conclusion i think the lesson of the story is to be brave and Harry is very brave.]]> 2016-10-14 18:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130852570 https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130855866 2016-10-14 18:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dterzi/CRoct14/wish/130855866
