I have a dog name benji and in my house hes treated exactly like how a child would. I cant go outside or hangout with friends often because of how someone needs to stay with him. i often get yelled at because of something he did. And if he had jumped and taken my homework it would be my fauly as i kept it in his reach. ]]> 2022-01-31 20:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2022178094 Mirror- Half Moon somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2022190442 In this story, the main character had no father figure in her life past seven. I cannot relate to that. Although I do have a dad present in my life hes never been there like you would expect a dad to. Ihve always been closer with my mom. I look at others families and sometimes wonder what it mustve been like to grow up with loving parents who know how to do their part. ]]> 2022-01-31 20:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2022190442 Magnus Chase- Rick Riodan 2/1/22 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2028293659 minuites- 35

I was on task for the whole time. I read till my goal which is to read atlest 45 pages on 30 mins]]> 2022-02-03 19:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2028293659 Window- Magnus Chase somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2029929579 Magnus had blindly trusted his friends who were wih him while he was homeless. Regdless of what Gulliath had told him about her suspecting something about them both. EVen after he found ot they were indeed a dwarf and an elf he went along with them. He had no choice he was confused and crossed. He just didnt want to get himself in the middle o f doomsday. Although i can guess the position he was in, I wouldnt just leave with them. I would demand more information out of them before i took action. ]]> 2022-02-04 18:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2029929579 "okay then" The eagle squawked, "we can play it that way" #208 -the giant somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033981158 Magnus along with his companions walked into a small place to have their lunch and then get going with their expedition to find the sword. While they were waiting for their food, a pigeon who later turned into an eagle flew onto their table. He exclaimed that he would tell them where the Sword can be found as long as he would get something in return. Hearing this, Magnus knew something was up so he refused to go along with such conditions. They soon ealized that the eagle was a giant who had transformed himself. After the gial heard this, he was upset. He refused to set the owner of the restraunt free unless Magnus had agreed. Once he didnt get his way, he said "okay then" The eagle squawked, "we can play it that way". This was important as the reader soon realized all the eagle wanted was his way. And he was not as nice as he disguised himself to be. He would now be doing anything needed to get his way. This further effects the plot as Magnus soon decides to swear to the gods to help him or he was about to die (yet again). Now hes made a vow. If he does not fulfill it, he will burst into flames. ]]> 2022-02-07 19:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033981158 "Sam froze in her tracks" pg#202 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033986752 The type of fiuartive language the author used in this case is idiom. I know this because the author implied how she stopped in a way resembling how when somethings frozen it doesnt move. It emphasizes the way Sam had come to a hault. By using this the author avoided making the book boring and bland. It makes the book more entertaining to read. this also helps us understand the character more as the readers realize that Sam was surprised with what had happened in this scene. This might help readers predict why she was as surprised. ]]> 2022-02-07 19:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033986752 "My stomach was getting impatient, so I dug in" pg#86 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033992096 In this quote, the author used personification. I know the because he gave a human like quality. A stomach cant get impatient. Hence is emphasizes the hunger the character felt. The reader gets a peek into the characters [personality as well. Magnus had his side of "humor". This lead to readers connecting more because of how he tell the story from him perspective and his feelings. ]]> 2022-02-07 19:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033992096 "The left side bloomed like a bird-of-paradise flower" pg#175 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033998144 On page 175, the author illustrates Magnus's unconscious body in many ways. Its stated that he is horrified about how hes looking at his own dead body. As Magnus was looking for the Sword, he had to flip his body over in order to search properly. By using simile it helps the reader illustrate the view better as something unexpected happens. ]]> 2022-02-07 20:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2033998144 "i hate this plan" I said "Lets do it"- magnus Chase somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2042555387 A lot of the characters personality shone through in this dialogue. In this scene, Magus needed to find a way to go to the Sea Monster to find the sword and give the Giant the apple of immortality so he wouldn't burst into flames. Through this dialogue readers can infer that Magnus is courageous and ambitious. He's willing to take the risk to see where the path might lead. It can also be inferred that his curiosity might put him down in the wrong road in the future. There's a small window for the plot and can be inferred that something was going to go terribly wrong as the the plan was most likely flawed and extremely dangerous. ]]> 2022-02-11 14:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2042555387 Arena somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046992143 Connotation- certain topic/issue
Denotation- a level area surrounded by seats for spectators, in which sports, entertainments, and other public events are held.
The way the author had put this word in the book made "arena" have a negative connotation. She informs the reader on how in India there wasn't much freedom for women and how America was more open to that idea. The readers can tell that the main character now has bigger idea of what freedom is being a woman herself. She has more opportunities and is learning how to adapt. Many people with such history might also be able to relate. And by speaking p about the differences and difficulties she had gone through after moving might attract more readers as well as the readers attention. It will make them feel more included and a sense of community even though its through pages of a book.

]]> 2022-02-14 18:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046992143 Label somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046995629 Connotation- to define a a person based on a feature that doesnt matter
Dennotation- classifying phrase or name applied to a person or thing
In this situation the word "label" was used as a negative connotation. This is because the the girl described how she was being labeled because of where shes from and hers skin color as well as her accent. By adding this o the story the author gave a better idea on what it was like for the character in the book to be classified in an unfair way. She felt like she was "less that" others who were white and would perfectly fit in the American society. the reader gets a feel of what its like being in the main characters shoes. This also informs the readers of how people would make assumption because of something which is not as common. ]]> 2022-02-14 18:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046995629 "gimlet eye" somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046996823 Denotatio- a small T-shaped tool with a screw-tip for boring holes.
Connotation- an eye with a piercing stare
By using this phrase in the book, the author gave off a negative vibe as it went along with the situation. On page #2
the narrator informed the readers how she had been asked a numerous time whether or not she had come into the country legally. This had upset her a lot mostly because her familly had to through a lot and pay a lot of money to finally be able to come to the States. She would get random comments on her skin color as well as her accent and she was tired of being discriminated when she came here for a better education and freedom. On page 3 the narrator used the phrase "I got used to the question, asked seemingly but casually with a gimlet eye,"are you here legally" ".  This shows how people judged other by their looks. Readers got and overall idea on what its like to get dirty looks from people by just walking down the street. 
]]> 2022-02-14 18:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2046996823 "my head screamed with pain" somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2051565011 On page 216 Magnus had described the huge headache he had gotten the moment he had come in contact with the Summers Sword. His ears began to fill with hums. The author used this personification to show the extreme point of his headache. This might effect the plot later on as it will me explained why had had such strong feeling after getting the sword. The reader also gets a sence of understanding of such pain because of the detailed figurative language. ]]> 2022-02-16 18:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2051565011 'My name is Magnus Chase. I’m sixteen years old. This is the story of how my life went downhill after I got myself killed.' somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2061891540
This is the story of how my life went downhill after I got myself killed.' This quote was on page 1 said by the narrator Magnus Chase. this was a great way to start off with the book as it works as a hook for the readers. It catches the readers attention as it mentions how the story takes place after the character had died. Some might find this an amusing story to read about and continue to read. In a way this was the beginning of the end. This specific statement also shows what the main character of the book is like. Magnus's humor is exposed as jokes about how his life had surprisingly gone downhill after he had gotten himself killed. It also lets the reader know things like the point of view and genre just but reading the first few sentences. People often have a preference and by doing this the author made it easy for them to know. ]]> 2022-02-23 04:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2061891540 "red as an apple" page 124 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2062780363 This was used to describe how Magnnus's Valkarie looked. When she had walked in the room Magnus had expected her to be a nice person with a pretty face. This description gave readers a visual on what she mustve looked like. This simile inderiectly explained what the character had thought of his valkarie. ]]> 2022-02-23 15:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2062780363 ¨its like makeup¨ somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2063134143 Denotation- often liquid substances applied to face to appear ¨prettier¨
Conotation- to cover up for something that happened
In this scene the main character was trying to comfort one of hi friends. He had done somthing wrong which he beleived would upset his boss. Magnus tried to find various ways to comfort him. He had exclaimed how he could simply hide it and do something 10 times better which will eventually make him forget the negative. In this case the author chose the word ¨makeup¨ to make it more entertaining.

]]> 2022-02-23 18:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2063134143 ¨...awake the one every soul fears.¨ somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2063329524 denotation- to get up from sleeping
Connotation- gain power back
This was a negative connotation as clearly they didn't want this God to rise back with power as they are a threat to the people. By usuing this conotation the author added a dramatic and more serious effect to the scene. It gave a sense of fear as the readers are informed how big of a deal this might be. It is also norticed that sinse the God is feared by all, this is most likely to have a huge impact on the story. ]]> 2022-02-23 20:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2063329524 Magnus Chase- Rick Riordan somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2067102170 2022-02-25 23:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2067102170 "sulked in my head" somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070057733 This statement refers to how the memory which Mara thought she lost was coming back. This has a negative connotation behind it. This is because the memory she had ended up recalling was disturbing and something she didn't expect. The denotation of sulk is being irritated or angry in a manner. But in this case it means she processed the information and was not happy with the results. ]]> 2022-02-28 18:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070057733 ¨flowed like a riverbreaking loose.¨ somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070071629 2022-02-28 18:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070071629 ¨Pushed a crack between them¨ Stop the Sun (short story) somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070074487 2022-02-28 18:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2070074487 remember me Always- Renee Collins somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2100649910 minuites- 30

They had both pass away and the hallucinations of them never seem to stop for her. I cannot relate to this as Ihve never had a traumatic experience in life that would leave behind a huge imprint in my mind and cause me to have heluations. Although, the author gives many details to describe how Mara must be feeling. ]]> 2022-04-01 17:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2125843872 Seven Dirty Secrets somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2125850581 2022-04-01 17:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2125850581 The unbecoming of Mara Dyer somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2125851454 2022-04-01 17:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2125851454 The Unbecoming of Marra Dyer- Michelle Hodkin somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2131271360 minuites- 35

She looked starved and Mara wanted to save her but was stopped my the barbed wires. Then a man had shown up threatening her to get away from his dog and shooed her away. Now she is determined to save the dog no matter what. I can relate to this as i myself have a dog and have loved animals forever. If I were in her place i would do anything to save her. ]]> 2022-04-05 18:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2131280012 "burying itself to the ground" somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2131696355 This was hyperbole. This is because Mara was refering to a dog and how they layed down on the floor. She exagerated on how low she went and made it seem she went undersground. By using this figurative language the author emphasizes on how the dog had reacted which gives a visual for the readers. ]]> 2022-04-06 00:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2131696355 The evolution of Mara Dyer- Mirror somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2141318388 Mara Dyer kept having hallucinations and she lost touch of reality often. She would wake up not knowing whether or not it had truly happened or if it was a dream.

She used figurative language as in this scene the character Mara was describing her surroundings and how the place looked familiar. The readers get a bigger understanding on what it must feel like to be there at the same location as her. They can envision how the moss was gently floating on the water. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160938461 ¨The dying sun reflected off the surface...¨ #341 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160941397 Tis was a use of personification. I know its personification as the sun was given a human like quality (dying). the author did this to describe the environment and emphasize how the sun looked. This added a more mystic and gloomy environment as the situation at the moment was ecstatic. Although the writer hadn't explicitly stated that something was about to go wrong, the reader could infer as the details all lead to conclusion with a negative impact. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160941397 ¨I was starved for him, for this.¨#351 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160945313 denotation- to be in extreme hunger
Connotation- in need of something/desperately want it
Mara had reached a point where she desperately needed Noah but he wouldn't give in. deep down he knew that she was afraid of hurting him and until that doubt had vanished from her mind,, he would not wanna take it further. By using this phrase, the author gave the readers and idea of what Mara was feeling. It created a mood for the scene where Mara just wanted to feel his touch immensely. This gives a reader an idea of how impatient the character is. Regardless of her knowing shes going to be the one scared to hurt him, she tried to convince herself that she was ready. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160945313 Mirror- the retribution of Mara Dyer somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160947480 Mara had woken up tied to a bed wearing a filthy hospital gown. Dr. Kells had started asking her questions and she realized that she couldn't speak what she was thinking. Mara caught on to the fact that she was definitely part of another test. Although ih've never been in a situation exactly like this I can somewhat relate as I had times in my life where I was forced to do something that I had desperately not wanted to do. But often because of reasons i had to follow through. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160947480 Window- Retribution of Mara Dyer somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160947889 2022-04-27 18:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2160947889 ¨Shed my skin like a snake¨ #32 somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2164707684 This is an example of a simile.

Connotation- blended
In this situation the phrase was used in a negative manner. As Mara's hair was not originally red, it was a bad sign that it had turned to a different color. After she had woken up she had realized she was in a place she couldn't recognize. This leads reader to conclude that this is not a good sign and something must've happened. ]]> 2022-04-29 18:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2164719610 Mara killed Dr.Wayne in order to escape somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2176270364 In the beginning of the book Mara woke up tied down to a hospital bed. She couldn't move her body s her limbs were numb. Dr. Kells had come into her room to run more tests causing her pain. She told her that Noah was dead and that Mara was the one who killed him. But she soon realized that she couldn't scream or even cry in pain. It seemed like she was simply emotionless. After a split second after everything blacked out, ,she regained consciousness and found Wayne whimpering on the floor grabbing onto something. The took it and played the recording. It was Jude. He told her how to escape from the building and that Noah was still alive and would be waiting for her. She tried to use her powers in order to kill Wayne as she needing his eyeball to access the file room. He abilty was not getting triggered so she felt a rush of courage and grabbed a knife from the table and slashed his throat. this scene says a lot about how Mara grew. She was done with all the lies. She knew she had to find Noah and get her friends out of there. If her abilities didn't work, she was willing to do anything to get back to him even if that meant killing 10 people. Shes dedicated and accepted her power. She knew who she was now and that she didnt need to be fixed. This shows a sense of improvement in herself. ]]> 2022-05-09 18:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2176270364 The Retribution of Mara Dyer somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2179951148 I reached my goal by staying focused and not having to guess what I was reading about.

As they stepped in they heard muffled voice. Mara ran ti see who it was and it was her brother tied down. She was filled with joy and finally explained the truth to him. He was astonished by what he was hearing and how everything that Mara said before was true. And it wasnt just her hallucinating. Mara though David was gonna call her crazy, instead he said he knew something was off. He had come all the way to New York to get more background information on Dr.Kells. After catching him up on what had happened while they were escaping the Hoizon(hospital where they were held captive) they began to search any files they could find. Someone had to be funding the center as well as Dr.Kells to run tests on getetic mutations. As they were searching they found files and tapes on other projects of hers. As they wtched the tapes and read through the files, they realized that Klls was also a carrier of this gene. She is inable to carry a baby which is why she started her journey to find a cure. She had fostered multiple kids, especially boys and tryed on different drugs and possible cures throughout the years. Every child had died. ]]> 2022-05-15 15:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184537103 The scene near the train station somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184889743 Jamie, Stella and Mara had gone to get some groceries. While they were going inside the store they noticed two men hunched over a homeless woman. They rushed over to help her as she was gettinging separated from the only food she had at the moment. When Mara wanted to go up against the men they had said ¨whats a little girl like you gonna do. You´re useless.¨ This triggered Mara's ability and didn't end in a good way. With Jamie's ability to convince people to do anything he wants they took advantage of it. Jamie convinced them to walk into the middle of the train tracks. Stella begged Mara to make it stop but jamie made sure they stayed in the middle of the tracks. Mara was gonna let them die but Jamie count handled it so he brought them back up right before the train could hit them. When they got back up those noses bled as they became conscious of their surroundings again. In this scene you could tell a lot about how Mara had felt. She was mad and had wanted the men to suffer for what they had done. This gives the reader a glimpse of how her mindset is. She had no sense of mercy and would not care if she were the one to kill them]]> 2022-05-16 00:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184889743 Stella walks out on them somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184889925 tella had soon realized how dangerous Mara was getting. The more she can control her power the more he can use it. An is always been to harm other people. Stella had exlaimed how she thought they were the good guys. And to that Marra responded ¨Who said we were the good guys?¨(pg. 302 Hawkins) At this point in the book Mara didnt bother to look back at the things that shes been doing. Mara knew that Stella was scared of her and didnt trust her anymore but she wasnt bothered. Soon enough Stella had left even though she didnt know where to go and Mara didnt stop her. This scene was important as the readers got an idea of how they had no plans on how to find Noah or what they were going to do in the future. the uncertainty of the future created a more intense mood in the book as the readers are more eager to know how they could pull off finding the person behind this and locate Noah. ]]> 2022-05-16 00:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184889925 Finds capsules in her body somavaray41 https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184890078 As they were escaping Horizons Mara realized her period was late. She couldnt have been pregnant as she was still a virgin but Stella didn't believe her and made her take a test. It had come out negative. Mara was ill and would throw up almsot everyday but never knew what was wrong with her. She kept feeling something inside of her stomach. Whenever she would look in the mirror her reflection would talk back to her saying "get them out. You know its inside you, get them out" (pg. 200, Hawkins)From this scene readers knew that her reflection couldnt have been lying. Later in the book Mara finally got the thing out of her. They were two capsules filled with powdery substance. Dr. Kells had put them there to stop her powers from triggering. In the scene She was scared and frightened. ]]> 2022-05-16 00:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/somavaray41/as7qhz6kveu84viw/wish/2184890078
