Yo Yolanda - Make connections

I can relate to this story because I have younger and older siblings who need a second opinion on things so i also give them advise on how and what to do in difficult situations. I tell them the right things to do, or at least what I think is right thing. Like in the story on pg.53  it says " How do you let someone know that you like them? Does it work? " My younger sister often asks me questions like that and I'd tell her what I would do.

Yo Yolanda - Authors Purpose

This is a story about people asking for advise from Yolanda which is the main character of the story. I think the authors purpose is to inform readers that if you find yourself in a jiffy you could always ask for help and to never be afraid of what other people might think. " a relationship is a two way street. Make sure you do nice things for him too " pg. 15. What the author means by that is to always treat your partner the same way you want to be treated.

Night - Make Connections

This story reminds me of the civil rights movement when the blacks were getting treated like trash because of the color of their skin. Its the same type of story just different ways to be tortured.

Night - Authors purpose

I think the authors purpose is to inform readers the cruelty that went on back in those days. Another point i believe the author was trying to get across was that being a different nationality gives no one the right to try to eliminate them because God put everybody on this earth for a special reason. 

Night - Make Predictions

I just started reading this book and so far I've read that there is a young Jewish boy who was in Sighet, Transylvania that would have to go to a concentration camp. Elie Wiesel is the main character and him and his family have been taken out of their home. I think once they get to the concentration camp thing will only get worse for them.

Wizards of Waverly place - authors purpose

I think the purpose of this book / TV series was to entertain the youth, Not only for entertainment but as well as to teach us a lesson that being different isn't wrong, and to never be ashamed of who you are as a person. 

Wizards of Waverly Place - Describe/ Relate characters

I can relate to Alex because she and I have the same ideas on the same things. I'm not irresponsible like Alex is, but I do some of the same things. Such as being childish in serious moments. Whereas Alex once lost her younger sibling. Although Alex is very irresponsible she is still very sweet until you do something to upset her. I am the exact same way. We don't mean to be mean all the time its just us as people. 

Wizards of Waverly Place - Make Predictions

This story is about a group of brothers and sisters who are trying to keep a secret. They are teenage wizards. They have special powers that the outside world shouldn't know about. They have lots of fun with they're magic but they are also very careless. Alex is 16, shes the middle kid and the irresponsible. Alex was in school playing around and acting foolish with her magic, and somebody saw her. I think she'll put some type of spell on him to make him forget what he had saw.

Romeo and Juliet - Make Connections

This book / story reminds me of myself and some of the problems I currently have to deal with such as having a crush on somebody that your family doesn't approve of. This also reminds me of my sisters. When they have a crush on someone that I use to have a crush on I do anything I can to try and keep them from having romantic encounters.

Romeo and Juliet - describe / relate characters

My favorite character in the book so far is Juliet because even though shes young, she still what she likes and is able to feel love. I can relate to that because I am young but I also have the ability to know what love is and what it feels like. Juliet is a very sweet girl who is respectful and considerate of what other people think of her and she tries to uphold her fathers expectations and save the reputation of her family.

Romeo and Juliet - Make Predictions

The story of Romeo and Juliet took place in the 1500's in Verona, Italy. The main characters in the story are  Romeo and Juliet. This story is about a man being in love with a woman that he is not aloud see because their families are rivals. I think this story will turn out to be an amazing love story. i think the two of them will end up together despite the differences they may have because of their family.

So far two friends have to face each other in the boxing ring. I think one of the friends well take thing a little too personal and not want to be friends anymore, and that one of the friends will get hurt. Not only will he get hurt physically but he will also get hurt emotionally.
