Break Homework-Reply to blog

      In Nairobi Cousar post about the book "Tears Of A Tiger" by Sharon M, it made me really want to read this book because you described the action and what is going on in the book really well and it made me want to read the book.
    This book made me think about my life and other peoples life. It makes you think about how short life is and how careful you have to be. The boy is depressed now because he thinks he should have died instead of his friend which is not a good feeling at all. I agree with u when you said " i feel really bad for Andrew because i wouldn't know how to handle the situation he is in." I agree with you because it is so hard to feel like that. Like you should have died instead of someone else. That is a really bad feeling to be feeling and i feel so bad for him and i would not know how to handle that situation. 
    I have read other posts by you but this one stands out because it has so many details and it gives a good image in your head while you are reading the book. This one also stands out because it has a complete description on how you feel about the book or the situations. Your other posts had these things too but this once had way more details and it was longer and more descriptive. 
    I really liked the way you wrote this post because it was really engaging. When i was scrolling down your blog i stopped right at this one because it made me want to read it. I was tuned in the whole time i was reading it. I liked that you had so many details and you used so many words that describes the situations and what is going on at that time. This post made me think about how i write my posts. This post showed me that i could add more descriptive writing to my posts and more details to make my posts become more alive.

character patterns-archetypes in "Stranger With my Face

 I think that the Hero in this book is Laurie. I think this because she has a lot of courage and she is brave because she has to stop her twin from taking over her life. She takes many sacrifices during this process which shows whats really important to her. In the end she ends up fixing everything and saving her life from being messed up.
      I think that the Mentor in this book is Laurie's boyfriend. I think this because he helps her find out what is going on in her life and he guides her through the steps in putting her life back together.
     I think that the Shadow in this book is Laurie's twin. The twin is coming into Laurie's life and tries to take over her life because the twin doesn't like her own life. She is trying to switch places so she doesn't have to live in her life anymore . She creates so much tension in this book while trying to take over Laurie's life.
    I think that the Shapeshifter is also Laurie's boyfriend because he is unsure of who is who. He doesn't know which twin is Laurie. So he keeps on switching sides because he is confused.

Conflict in "Stranger With my Face"

 I think that the conflict in this book is the fact that Laurie's twin who had been separated from her at berth is trying to take over her life. Her family insists that they saw her coming and going places when she has been out of the house for hours. Her twin is trying to take over her life and Laurie is running out of time. Her life has been upside down ever since her twin has been trying to take over her life and it has become out of control. 

Appreciation in "ZigZag "

         In this book i appreciated that it showed how much family is important and that spending time with them is really important and you shouldn't take it for granted. It also showed me that you should be a person that younger people like your family or others would want to look up to. Be a role model to your younger siblings or cousins or anything like that. Because if you do that then they would grow up to be something amazing.
      I have so many questions rolling around in my head. For example what made the author write a book like this? Why was this book so important to you? Did this book have an influence on you? Did you change from writing this book? This book left me with so many questions and thoughts.

The conflict in-ZigZag

          Iris has a big conflict/problem in this book. She has a habit of throwing up what she eats every now and then. This conflict will change her in a bad way because if she continues to do it she will become unhealthy and sick. She doesn't want to listen to Robin when she tells her to stop because she feels that its none of her business. Iris feels like her body has to be perfect (when no one is perfect). She feels that being stick skinny is beautiful. This conflict with herself will cause her to change in many different ways but not in any good ways.

character patterns-archetypes in ZigZag

      I think that THE HERO in this book is Robin. When she goes on a rode trip with her cousins and aunt she started to help them come together as a family. Each one of her cousins had a problem that they needed to deal with and she helped them in different ways. But she also is not perfect either. This rode trip helped Robin change herself in many different ways.  She became a person who is more mature and doesn't look into the past, she keeps on moving forward which rubs off on everyone else.
      I think that  THE MENTOR in this book is the aunt. The aunt has been through this situations before. The reason why the aunt brought Robin on the trip was to help her with her kids. So she kind of guides Robin in different directions to help her with her kids.
       I think that  THE SHADOW in this book is Iris. She gets herself into trouble. She doesn't know when to stop and she doesn't want to listen to anyone at times. Sometimes there is so much tension between her and Robin. She is just always creating problems.
      I think that THE SHAPESHIFTER is also Iris. Towards the middle of the book she begins to change a little bit. But then in a second she goes back to her old ways. Sometimes she would be on Robins side when she says something but then other times she would not agree with her at all. She keep on switching sides. One minute she is on Robins side and then the next minute she hates her guts. She cant make up her mind on what she is doing or anything. She just keeps on changing sides.

Theme in my book: ZigZag

          I think that this book is trying to tell its readers that family is the most important thing and to spend a lot of time with them because they are the most important thing. When the readers read this book i think that the author wanted us to think about how people can change so much in time and how much people change when they have someone to look up to. I think the overall message in this book is so spend more time with the people that you love.

Setting in my Independent Book "ZigZag"

          In my book the characters right now are in many different settings because they are traveling through the west. They explore parts of the country that they have never dreamed existed. They have been to Colorado, Denver, Buffalo, Chicago, Oklahoma, and Ohio. In each one of these settings the characters had learned many things about themselves and others that they never thought they would know. These settings help the characters become closer in many different ways and the settings caused the characters to change.
