1. Page 11. “ The new house, however, stood all on its own in an empty, desolate place and there were no other houses anywhere to be seen, which meant there would be no other families around and no other boys to play with, neither friends nor trouble.”

Page 12. “ However, the new house had only three floors: a top floor where all three bedrooms were and only one bathroom, a ground floor with a kitchen, a dining room and a new office for father (which, he presumed, had the same restrictions as the old one), and a basement where the servants slept.”

2. Page 13.”(Maria wasn’t the only maid at the new house either: there were three others who were quite skinny and only ever spoke to each other in whispering voices. There was an old man too who, he was told, was there to prepare the vegetables everyday and wait on them at the dinner table, and who looked very unhappy but also a little angry.)”

What is a good life?

A good life is a when there is something worth living for, and there are goals in life that can be succeeded. These goals might be trained or practiced for to. The goals might not work out but, there are people that keep trying to reach their goals.

Another reason for a good life is friends. Without friends where is no one to talk to and share feelings with. Without people that care about you it will make you feel bad about yourself and you will be alone.

Another reason for a good life is to have a job that is worth wild. If you don't like your job you won't feel good about yourself.

Without all this facts there is nothing to live up to. Nothing worth living for. But if you have goals, friends and a job, which is enjoyable, that would be the best life.

The Protagonist in my story

In my journey story called "Disappearing Act" the Protagonist is a twelve-year-old boy called Kevin. Kevin is a boy how wants the best for him and his sister Holly. 

"I made twenty bucks,” page 15. Holly was impressed. Which he made from his job with Bumpy.

He can also be a curious man of learning how people do things. For example there was a lady dress up as the statue of liberty "Doesn't her right arm get tired, holding up that torch for hours?" page. 14. It was a fake arm on her shoulder. Her real arm was hidden under all her drapers.

The 2nd post of 7th grade.

In the book called "disappearing act" from the beginning to page 6.

Kevin and Holly are a brother and sister who are orphans, and they are going to travel from New Mexico to Venice, California, in this old beat up VW. They are doing all this because there is a man that is stalking them. They nick name him the Toad.

I choose this quote to describe their journey in the best way:

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

By Ursula K. Le Guin

I choose this quote because in the journey that Kevin and Holly are going on there will be a start and an end. The start is when they want to get away from the stalker. The end is when they get to Venice, California.

the name of my book

the book that i am reading is "disappearing me".

FINAL BLOGPOST OF THE YEAR

Dear Asher,

I am leaving to elsewhere. I must leave because I did like being here any more and the day of December would be a great operate to leave. Plus that they would kill Gabriel and I did want him to die. The Gabriel was like a brother to me.

I have learnt many things about snow and the hills that I would want to see the snow.

Would you of ever thought about going with me and Gabriel? Because we would love you to come with us. And there would be more freedom and not as many rules.

The giver or the receiver of memories told me that if I left then it would be chaos. This would be because there would be no one to ask question about what to do and the giver has given me most of the memories that wore important. The memories that I have gotten from the giver are important to them because it stores many questions to them about how they will live latter.

Being the receiver of memories thought me that there is more things on the outside of our community, which is another reason way left.

blog post #3( marking Brocks blogs 1 &2)

In blog post 2 you but a fare enough of vocabulary words. The words you and I wore mentioned a few times. The idea that you said the bad thing about lying first and then you went to the good thing about it after words.

In blog post 1 you talked about that you wanted to choose your job not someone else to do it which i thought was great. One sentence that was my favorite was the one were you said" I want to make my own choices in life and learn from my mistakes." URL. http://brockiskl.blogspot.com/. I found this interesting because you wanted to learn from yours and others mistakes. Making your own choices is a big part of life and you wanted to make it your own choices. The thing that could be improved was that you used many words like I and my.

blog post #2( Why does Jonas find the instruction about lying so disturbing?

Why does Jonas find the instruction about lying so disturbing?

Because he had grown up not to lie. It was a part of learning not to lie. In one way it is good that they can’t lie, because then the community can know if the citizens are telling the truth.

When he was a four he said that he was starving. His teacher corrected him and said that he was hungry. No one in the community was starving. Is would be a lie to say that you wore starving. The community once wanted the babymakers to try to make 4 babies instead of 3, but the giver said that they had to think that there would be more mouths to fill if everyone wouldn’t be starving.

No one in the community lied but Jonas has an idea that some parent’s are lying. So to find out if that was true he asks his dad if he loved him. His dad said that he loved him. Then his father said” Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please.” Page 127. His father thought that it was inappropriate to ask some one if they loved you or the word love. The word love was a generalized word to use his mom said. Jonas liked the felling of love but he was confused about the word love. He has had the filling love for Fiona that is way he had to start taking the stirring pills. Which was lying to the rules. One day Jonas didn’t take the pills for four. He didn’t want to take the pills because he was curious on what the result would be not taking the pills. He started to have sexual feelings and was hoping he would be in a relationship with someone.

In this passage he lied “ Do you understand why it’s inappropriate to use a word like ‘love’?” mother asked. Jonas nodded. “Yes, thank you, I do,” he replied slowly. It was his first lie to his parents.” Page 127. This showed that it was his first lie and that he didn’t understood the in appropriates of the word love.

The End Has Come...

4. Finally, chose one of the 3 main characters and write how this character has changed during the course of the novel.

 

Will:

I think that Will changed when he and Henry and Beanpole wore in the red castle. Because in the begging he wanted to go to the White Mountain but now he wants to stay a the castle. He talked to Henry and Beanpole about giving the castle a chance to stay there. Will and Henry got in a fight. I suppose that Will’s attitude as changed in that Red Tower. I think that this is because he wants to stay with Eloise. I think that Will would have a good time in the castle but then he would need to get capped and he would detest. He would rather try to make it to the White Mountain, then to by at the castle. Plus in the Red Tower he would be allowed without Henry and Beanpole.

In this story of there of three people how want freedom to the White Mountain, freedom is what most of this novel is all about and what they wish for. The only thing that they all want is freedom and to make it to the White Mountain. If they didn’t find Beanpole then they wouldn’t make it to the White Mountain.

In the red tower Will had a great deal of freedom in the castle. But he would need to get cap if he wanted to stay at the castle and Will choose not to be controlled and get capped. In the beginning of the book he put in quotes that he would die then to be capped. This told me that me am desperate for the freedom and would never what to get capped and give his life away to the tripods. When he lives or stayed at the castle he saw a few tripods walking around the neighborhood. This would mean that have to act normal whenever he saw a tripod at the red towers or else the tripods would go after them.

They are hooping for freedom at the White Mountain or else they would of travel a long way and be disappointed.

1. How were the Tripods able to control the people?

The cap's had a chip in it that only allowed the tripods control their thought and how they think.

2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comt, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.

(The bitter thing was that all the spirit, all the gallantry, was wasted. for even more than their inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being capped. it was a part of becoming a knight, or of turning from girl to lady.) Page. 111.

All this was rendered futile by the sight of her bare head. I had come to think of her as my friends: perhaps more. But now I knew that she belonged, irretrievably, body and soul, to the Enemy. Page. 116.

3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.

It last five days, and at the end is their Capping Day." " And if we are still here then . . .," Henry said. " We are offered for Capping. True But we will not be here. You will be strong by then, Will. And during the time of the tournament there is always much confusion. We can get away, and not be missed for day, perhaps two or three. Page .109

Beanpole) How will me help Will and Henry

Beanpole is an interesting character in the book. He is smart and he sounds really nice and honest and one of those people that you could trust on. Beanpole has very many good ideas. His parents had died and his uncle and aunt took after him. The thing that Beanpole can do that will help them is that take in many languages.

Beanpole is going to help them to the White Mountain by being the translator. Will and Henry did not know the language that the other people spoke so that is what Beanpole. Without Beanpole it would be easy for Will and Henry to get cut by the tripods and sent back to their Village. Beanpole would help them throw their whole journey. Beanpole as helped them throw the sea. Beanpole will help the most because he knows the land the best.

How I'm like Will Parker

Will Parker is smart, curious and he thinks ahead of the future. When Will Parker tried to run way without being capped I would do that if I were in his passion. I would heat it if I was capped and the tripods toke over my life.

I’m like Will how he is curious because when I don’t know something. Like when he did know how the tripods get the caps from. I am usually curious about stuff like Will was about it.
