Journey to The center Of the Earth

I am currently reading Journey to the Center of The Earth.  It’s really science fiction. It all about how 3 people one’s an uncle, nephew, and a explorer. They all set out to go to the center of the earth to make history. But while they go on their way they are stopped by really wired and cool but not friendly when you’re up close creatures. It really get in their way of going to the center of the earth. Also it also change the way the nephew feel about his uncle. His emotion on his uncle changes completely.

One thing that comes in the three explores way to finding the center of the earth. They are stuck in a cave after a pre historic dinosaur a t-rex chase them into a cave they stayed there until the t-rex left. That’s when they had the heart to hear talk about how the uncle is not his dad but he will act like a dad cause he love him. This shows that they probably had problem before they went to the journey. Also it shows how the character emotion on each change within the book.

Another thing that comes up to the explorers is in the end of the book they were stuck in a volcano but above the lava chamber but when one of the explores drop a diamond on the floor it crack leaving the lava to rise up. They get scared and start to climb they stop and stay on a bowl. They get scared even more because the lava is rising. The uncle then tells his nephew “son if we get out of here alive I will be the best uncle ever.” They get out of there alive and life turned out great. This shows that he will do better than before meaning he did badly before and will want to change that.

In conclusion this show that when people are scared or trapped the really want to express their feeling with each other

The Sea Of Monster

Sea of Monster by Rick Riordan.is about a 13 years old kid and his friends trying to find the Golden Fleece. The reason Percy is trying to find the Golden Fleece is because something happened to the tree that covers and protects camp half blood from bad thing like Hades minion or any other threat that could hurt the camp. Originally the quest is suppose to be Clarisse the daughter of Ares, who Ares favors a lot. Because the oracle (A Crystal Ball) pick Clarisse. Percy joined in because he didn't trust Clarisse on getting the quest done so he took off camp and went to go get the fleece with his friends. Percy can’t trust Clarisse even though they are in the same camp for two years now. I can relate to Percy on how he can’t trust anyone. I can’t trust my mom and my friend sometimes.

One way I can relate to Percy’s friend named Annabeth had another friend named Luke at first he was cool with Percy and Annabeth but then Luke betrayed Annabeth and Percy by almost killing Percy by giving Percy some poison by a scorpion. In the sea of monster Luke is on a ship and Luke is talking to Cronus who is the titan father of all gods. Annabeth feel betrayal even after all they went through. I feel this way when I was walking with my friend and then they see their friend who he told me he was going to stay away because they are bad influence on him so he just joins their club and starts bulling other people. Percy’s friend Annabeth and I can both relate to each other on how we feel betrays on our friends.

Percy’s and his dad aren't close as much in sea of monster but the only time I see in the book Poseidon speak to Percy telling him to go find the fleece immiditlty Percy at first doesn't trust Poseidon because he hardly help Percy with anything but later on he see he really need the golden fleece because of the camp. Percy go to go get the golden fleece but not because Poseidon told him because the camp really need the golden fleece now and he is willing to do that. I think Percy is feeling betrayal on how Poseidon just hooks up with his mom and then leave as soon he finds out that she is pregnant.  I can relate to that my dad made a deal with me that if I get in to a school he will give me anything I want. I study very hard and I got in that school and what do I get in return “wow good job Enjam now aim for the specialized high school and you’ll get three more thing you want” But I know how that’s going to end for me. I feel betrayed, lied to just like how Percy feels. Percy and I can both relate to each other.

The Lighting Thief

The Lighting Thief by Rick Roadan is a suspenseful book about a 2 children around the age of 12 and a satyr (half man and half goat) who travels the U.S with trains, buses, and car all to be used to go to Hollywood.  While they go to Hollywood they are slowed down by the god of war named Ares.  Also stopped by a monster named Medusa  Percy goes for his mother and not for the lighting bolt that Poseidon was accused of taking. Percy is still scared because he scared of his mother not belong at Hades place because before Percy join camp half blood he got attack by a Minotaur who disinigrate Percy’s mom and sent her to the underworld. Percy is scared of facing the truth of losing his mother. I can relate to Percy on how he thinks he could lose his mother.

One way I relate to Percy is my mom goes outside at night to see my aunt and uncle because they have a new baby. I feel really scared because she always comes back late which make me think did she get kidnapped or anything else like die. I think Percy also feels the same way I do and he scared and he want everything to be over with. I am also scared to see the truth. If I find out my mom or dad dies it will destroy my heart and I will die.

Another way me and Percy can relate is that Percy has a dad who just wants to throw Percy in the garbage and a mother who just wants hug him until she can’t feel her arms. I have a dad and mom who love me and will love me no matter what. It’s not the same as the dad situation but it is with the mom. But if I had a dad who want to kick me out of my house I problem just leave the house with my mom. But I feel bad for people who don’t have a mother or a father and they live in like a orphanage they have nothing except friends but it not the real thing.

In conclusion, me and Percy can relate to each other he really love his mother and if he problem knew his dad I think he problem like his dad just like how he like his mom. If Percy loses his mom he would problem die and I problem would do the same thing.

Am I blue

“Am I Blue” By Bruce Caville is an inspiring short story about 2 people who talk about the world being filled with gays. Vince is 16 years old who is getting bullied by a Butch Carrigan. Vince gets beat up by butch. Vince landed in a mud puddle. Butch bullies Vince because he thinks Vince is gay. A tall man come to talk to Vince named Melvin. Melvin explains to Vince that he is his first person to get a fairy godfather who allows Vince three wishes. Vince doesn't believe him at first but while he was in the mud puddle he splashed some mud at Melvin and in a blink of an eye the mud disappeared on his khakis pants. Vince believe him because that Melvin made the mud disappeared. Melvin explains to Vince how the world is filled with gays and you can’t even see it.  Melvin tells Vince about the third gay fantasies the third fantasies is when you get to see everybody who is gay/lesbian, blue for a day. Vince then questions himself “am I blue”. Vince learn after the fantasy that when you least expect it happens.

Melvin takes Vince to a diner after Vince got bullied by butch. Melvin tells Vince he is his fairy godfather and he will grant him three wishes. Vince tells Melvin about his story on how butch keeps picking non Vince because he is a faggot (gay). Melvin tells Vince “ listen honey the world is crawling with faggots.but most of them are hiding because there afraid of what people from the outside world will think of them afraid they’ll get treated the way you did just hour ago.” What the text is saying is anybody can be gay. All the gay people are just hiding what they really are because they are afraid they’ll get beat up. Also the fairy godfather himself also got beat up for being gay. One time while Melvin was walking home he got jumped by three people then the three people said we’ll teach you faggot. I think Melvin can empathize from what happens to Vince everyday by Butch. Vince wonders if he or anybody he know is gay.

Melvin had a normal life before he was a fairy godfather. Melvin always talks to his friend the way he knew it wouldn't hurt their feeling. Melvin and his friend all call each other faggot but playfully and not hurtfully. In the text it says “My friend and I call each other faggot or queer for the same reason black people call each other nigger- to take the world away from people who want to use them to hurt us “. Melvin is saying his friend calls him faggot and queer so than when other people call him faggot and queer he won’t get hurt or mad because he is used to it. Melvin does what he want when he want because he is not going to let anyone define him or change the way he think, act, or even dress. I think Melvin is saying that it doesn't matter if you’re gay, straight, bisexual it doesn't give anybody the right to change who you are.

Melvin tells Vince if he want to live the third fantasy for a day. Vince agrees only if it doesn't cost Vince one of his wish Melvin agrees and tells him it only educational. In the text it says “We used to imagine what it used to be like if every gay person turns blue for the day? My eyes went wide, why” “So all the straight would have to stop imagining that didn't know gay people” Melvin tells Vince that some people might not be as straight as they seem. Vince says okay Melvin touch Vince eyes for five second and Melvin then tells Vince that it okay to open his eyes. Vince opens his eyes and sees that half the diner where Melvin and Vince were having their chat was covered with blue. Vince says almost 1/3 of the dinner is cover with blue. I think that anybody even when you’re in a normal place is gay even when they don’t look like it they change their look and try to fit in society. Also in the story when Vince leaves the diner he sees a grocery store employee who looks like to Vince a big blueberry. Vince was surprised because Mr. Alwain was married and had 3 kids. Vince then come across a library and sees the librarian and Vince and his friend assume that the librarian is the most lesbian’s ever but when he saw her he hardly saw blue on her. I think this shows that anybody can be “blue” even when you least expect it also it also says to never judge a book by its cover.

In conclusion, Melvin help Vince see the world where gays can be revealed form their true identity. If you’re gay then don’t let anybody change that. Also the bully who bullied Vince because Vince was “gay” turned out to be gay when he turned three.
