The ContractText to Self
I can connect to the book, The Contract, because it's about a young Jackie Robinson who played baseball. I can relate to this because when he was a kid he played little league baseball over the summer. Currently over the summers I do baseball and enjoy it just like he did when he was a kid]]> 2016-09-09 14:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122744128 Sara Scolan https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122745529 Text to self: I can connect to Breakthrough by Jack Andrka because I have faced many challenges in life that have slowed me down, and there have been people that dont believe in me, just like in the book. In the book, the main character deals with many problems throughout his journey but he stays strong and in the end he gets what he's been fighting for.

text to text: I can connect to Breakthrough by Jack Andraka because I have read many other books where the main character has to fight through a bunch of problems to get what they want. In the selection series, there was a ton of problems for the main characters that made there life even harder just like in Breakthrough.]]> 2016-09-09 14:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122745529 Mackenzie Johnson - Chasing Lincoln's Killer (EXAMPLE) akostellic https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122747150 TEXT TO WORLD: In the text Chasing Lincoln's killer, a man named John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln as well as other men. All of the people for Lincoln at the time went on a search and didn't stop until they found the killer, as well as his ally's. I can connect this to the event of the Boston bombing and how all of the police in the area as well as others kept looking until they found both men that caused the horrific event.

TEXT TO SELF: I can connect to the text, Chasing Lincoln's Killer when the people in the south didn't know Lincoln had been killed, and took Booth in since he was injured not knowing he was the killer of the president. At the time these people had no clue Lincon had been killed since news didn't travel very fast. I can connect this to myself in the way that sometimes I don't know what I am getting myself into until after the fact when it wasn't what you thought it would be.

TEXT TO TEXT: I've read many books where they only really explain what Lincoln's life was before he died. When I read this book they finally explained what happened after Abraham Lincoln and how they found the killer. It was a very interesting story because I never knew the details of the search. I really only knew they basics. It's fun to know what really happened

TEXT TO WORLD: When this major event happened it rocked America. Finally after many days they found the killer and soon after elected a new president. For a while everyone was in grief when they found out there beloved president was dead.

Thankfully, I restored my sight when I was one year old. Helen Keller faced a lot of hardwork   to learn many things but, she still didn't give up. That's what make her an inspiration.

     Text to self, I can connect to this guy in the book because in the book he does a lot of shooting, and me and my dad when ever we go up to Wisconsin we shoot guns. Also I even shot the exact kind of gun he used in the book. I'm also pretty sure in the book he is a hunter and that is another sport I want to get into.

 Text to text, I can compare this book to the movie American sniper. In the book I  am a seal team six warrior he is a sniper named Howard E wasdin. In the movie American sniper it is about a sniper named Chris Kyle. They are both snipers.

This is a text to world connection.I bet it was easier for her because she knew that every other Jew in the world was going through the same exact thing as her. Another connection is a text to self connection. I have never had a person experience such as the one she had, but I can feel what it would be like. If I was her, I would be so scared.

Swanson https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122856609 TEXT TO WORLD-
The night Abraham Lincoln was killed was truly a tragedy. The whole country was in shock. I was surprised when people helped the killers escape when they knew what they did. But after a couple of days John Wilkes Booth and the others were captured. Shortly after a new president was elected. Today, Lincoln's death is still a big event.

TEXT TO TEXT-
I've read a couple books talking about President Abraham Lincoln's life and his grave robbers. Some books and stories didn't really talk about the night he died. 'Chasing Lincoln's Killer' really talked about the details; how they found the killer, how the killers tried to escape, where Lincoln died, etc. Not only did they talk about his death, but also the Vice President Johnson and Secretary Of State Seward. It was good to read this book and really know what exactly happened.]]> 2016-09-09 18:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122856609 Joe Rosalia- Chew on this-by: Eric Schlosser https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122889487 Text To Self: I can connect this to our life because we used to eat fast food if we all felt like it. One day, however, my mom read a Facebook post on what was really in Chicken Mcnuggets. After that, we limited our fast food to only once in a while. Now, we don't even eat fast food anymore. We only eat it if we are in a big rush.

Text To World: I don't really see this too much, but I've heard the stories of how big fast food companies have gotten, and how much they've dominated the U.S.A. I've also seen in books, like this one, and in websites about how much fast food people eat, and how it makes their bodies fat. A few months ago, there was a news story on how the people at the chicken meat factories had to wear diapers. That article, however, was only on for about 30 seconds. I just hope that we can all change our diets someday.]]> 2016-09-09 21:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122889487 Nick Schmidt-Bailey - Brown Girl Dreaming, by Jacqueline Woodson https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122970716 Text to World: 
     In the book Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline and her family struggled through segregation as an African American family. Just like thousands of other people of color, they were treated harshly where they lived. Jacqueline's family struggled to get around in the South so they moved to the North just as many other families had. They escaped the judgement but joined in poverty, which happened to a large percentage of families in that time. The Woodsons faced the same struggles as many other families in that time.

Text to Text:
     I'm currently reading a book called Escape From Berlin. Which is about a girl named Marriane who is Jewish, and is being discriminated by Nazis.  Most of the time Marriane just tries to cover herself, and hide from the world, just like lots of people of color had to. They both talk about horrible times, though in two different places. It should show us that we should never do anything like this again, and never discriminate anyone ver again.]]> 2016-09-11 17:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/122970716 Carlos Quintana-Mejia - The Secret Agents And Other Spy Kids, by Allan Zullo https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/123223918 Text to text - This book is like another book in the Percy Jackson series because of how the point of view is always shifting between different ‘spy kids’. Both stories shift to different characters when a problem is solved or when a problem is just starting.

Text to world - This book relates to the world around us since this book was made from journals, notes, and other forms of writing to tell the story of all these spy’s. Just like in the book many young spies have been tried like an adult in court of law.

In traditional media, a lot of YouTubers aren't seen as important, or profitable. I think this book and a lot of others proves it to be quite the opposite. YouTubers are sometimes seen as young, or unintelligent, but Phil Lester, one of the authors, has a masters degree in English. He fully explains his experiences in the world in words that are easier to digest, and are a little more entertaining which is often hard to find. 

Text to self- Dan Howell, the other author, explains how he was in many theater programs and plays as a child. I connect to this, because I also am in theater, and enjoy that too. He explains how he wished he could go back and instead of doing law in college he did theater. I once instead of going to a comedy camp with my sister, I sat at home and completely regretted it. ]]> 2016-09-12 17:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/123230848 Luke Borachuk - Hitler youth https://padlet.com/akostellic/v2udhw4krfz8/wish/123543463 Text to world- Hitler youth was a group like Boy Scouts but would prepare kids to fight in the was as soldiers they also did community activitys like clean the roads and help the people.

In the book Michael Vick is jailed for dogfighting during the height of his NFL career. Chris Sale cut up his jersey and although not as extreme, did earn him a penalty. Colin Kapernick also did the same thing. His NFL career was doing great, and then he took a knee during the national anthem, which caused an enormous amount of controversy throughout the country, just like Michael Vick did with his dogfighting.
Text to text: This event is just like a book I am reading now about a boy who starts a shooting to get back at all the people that looked down on him. Just like Michael Vick, the boy in the story has made some poor decisions that will land him in a ton of trouble with the law.
