A Happy Life

In the book The Juvie Three gecko the main character changes his life by meeting one man. His future could either turn bad again or stay good. But I think that gecko has a bright future ahead of him and these are my reasons why.

Gecko will have an amazing future because he has seen the bad side of life and he does not like it. He has a good side in him that could be brought out to help others. He likes helping others and he will because he has lost friends because they got involved in gangs and killed. He also lost the closest person to him which was his brother. That is the reason why he wants to do this because he doesn’t want it to happen to someone else’s brother. Helping other people is important to him.                                                                                                

  He will most likely set up a program to help kids in juvenile detention to get out and stay out of trouble by doing community service. He would do that because that is what people did for him. He wants to help him and he feels like he needs to repay everyone that he hurt. He likes being the person that everyone looks up to.

He relates to Cole from touching spirit bear because they both have been in some horrible situations and don’t like it. Also thy both are actually smart kids who want to be good but there is just one obstacle they can get past. For Cole it is his parents but for Gecko it is his brother he feels like he has lost him but overcomes it.

All in all, change can be for the better or for worse depending on if you really want to or not. But Gecko will make it for the better.  He has a great life ahead of him but he has to take it.

A Life changing experience

Authors note: I wrote about this because I feel like everyone can be a good person.

Doing eighty miles per hour in the middle of a city trying to get away from a crime scene. That is where Gecko a fourteen year old boy finds himself on one afternoon. He is the getaway driver for his brother because they robbed a video game store. Changing from a criminal to a great citizen like Gecko did is nothing easy but very possible.

Throughout the story Gecko changes his view on everything. Gecko starts out as someone who doesn’t care about people or school. He actually has an interest in school now and does all of his home work. He respects people and even helps out an elderly neighbor. He wants to make a difference in a good way.  He finds ways to stay out of trouble even though it seems like trouble finds him. Trouble also finds another book character named Cole.

Gecko relates to Cole from Touching Spirit Bear in multiple ways. They both starts out as a criminal that looks hopeless in changing their  ways. But both had  life threatening accidents that changed them in a better way. A car crash for Gecko. For Cole it was getting mauled by a bear. Also the are related because they just wanted to feel loved by their families. Neither of their parents had time for them.  I think change can happen over a long time or a life threatening accident and it will cause you to change quickly.

All in all, these characters show us that change is possible no matter how bad it may be. People can change for either the good or the bad but it depends on what path they want to take. Although you don’t need to be almost killed to change.

Retelling

Authors Note: I wrote about this book because I enjoy this series of books.

A family with a long violent past, split into five groups. While Amy and Dan try to bring everyone together a mysterious prize for a clue hunt could split them farther apart. The family must learn, if they want true power they must all work together.  

Conflict Resolution

Author’s Note: I wrote this because it has a clear conflict and resolution

In the book Gender Blender by: Blake Nelson the main characters Tom and Emma get into a funny situation. The conflict is that Tom and Emma are in an accident together and when they wake up their minds are in each others bodies. They have to live someone else’s life. Later they find that if they stay in the wrong bodies for more than three days it will become permanent.

On the third day they still haven’t found a way to go back to normal. They are at a party and feel hopeless and might not ever get back their bodies. This gets resolved when they knock into each other at the party they go unconscious and wake back up in the right bodies! Tom and Emma can now live normal lives and be themselves.

White Fang Cause and effect

Author’s Note: I wrote this piece on this book because White Fang is an outcast and it’s sad to see outcasts in the world.

In the book “White Fang” by Jack London the main character, White Fang was going through some problems in this book. He was abandon when he was just a little half wolf half dog puppy. White Fang went to go find a new home but that didn’t work out the way he hoped. While hunting a rabbit he finds a tribe of native Americans. The young pup attempts to run away but he can’t help his curiosity to try to find a new family. This causes the him to not be accepted by the other dogs. This effected his life because he just wanted to have a family and be loved. This relates to Touching Spirit bear because I think that’s how Cole felt. He needed someone to really care for him and be there for him.

If everyone in White Fang’s life that hurt him or made fun of him he wouldn’t be as furious, strong and smart as he could. The book made the Native Americans look like bad people but what they really did is turn him into a great wolf. His family wasn’t there to teach him the native Americans were the ones to do that. 

The Beginning Of A Country

Authors Note: I wrote about this because I want to ask the founding fathers questions.

If I were to ask the founding father some questions on what choices they made long ago. I would ask about if they are happy with the choices they made or what they would change. Another would be what was were thinking behind their choices. There are a lot of them and also important ones.

The first question I would want to ask the founding father is, why did they pick the eagle to be the national bird? Why didn’t they pick the turkey, the duck, or the robin? You see Robins everywhere you go, in people’s trees and on farms all over the U.S. The turkey is one of the things that I see a lot in the morning on the way to school. I have seen many turkeys all year round. Lastly, the duck is a common bird too; I see ducks on the way to the store in small bodies of water all the time. Have you ever seen an eagle in person not at the zoo? I know I have not but I hope I will one day.

Onto the second question. I would ask them if they are happy or sad about what choices they had to make about this Nation. I would be happy because, we have the freedom of speech in this country and many other rights that they created. Also I know that I am safe because of all the protection that we have in this country. I also want to thank them for the bill of rights. They are the first ten amendments to the U.S constitution.

These are a few questions that I would like to ask the founding fathers. They made a lot of good choices a long time ago. They made them in the best interest of all the people of this Nation.  Most of their choices, they made a long time ago, are still being followed today.  

Hunger Games

Authors Note: I wrote about this because I enjoy this book.

In the book Hunger Games, Katniss makes a choice that affected her and changed her life forever. She was chosen to participate in a fight to the death with twenty three other people. They tricked her into believing that two participants from the same district can both win. So Katniss wants to leave with the other tribute from district twelve because he means a lot to her.  Katniss and Peeta the boy from her district are the last ones alive but they announce that there can only be one winner.

Katniss was furious which caused her to have peetta and her both swallow poisonous berries so they could both live. But this affected the outcome of the hunger games because they let them both live. This changed the course of the future dramatically because it started an uprising in the districts. They wanted to take control of the capitol. This one decision made lots of innocent people to lose their lives because of a war.
