Text to Text - Ellie's Story

I am reading the book Ellie's Story by W. Bruce Cameron. It is about a German Shepherd named Ellie, training to become a search-and-rescue dog. She has to find people and save them. During the book, Ellie learns more about her purpose in life but still gets confused about the tasks given to her. A scene in this book reminds me of another book called Best Friend Next Door by Carolyn Mackler, which is about a girl whose best friend had just moved away making her life miserable. Now a new girl has just moved in next door, will they become friends? The girls are so alike in many ways but also very different, so will it be a good friendship or not?

In Ellie's Story, Ellie is searching to find a kidnapper and bring him back to the other police officers. When her and Jakob find this man, he pulls out a gun and shoots Jakob in the stomach. He falls down and Ellie attacks the man once she realizes that he is injured. More police officers come to see what happened and call a helicopter to take Jakob away. Ellie is very confused and wonders why she isn't going with him. The officers take Ellie back to the kennel and leave her with frequent visits, but still no Jakob. She isn't enjoying it and wants to be with him again. This scene reminds me of a similar scene in Best Friend Next Door because Hannah's best friend has just moved away and she doesn't like it, she wants to see her again. Hannah is like Ellie because they are both missing someone and have a miserable life because of it.

I love the way Ellie attacked the kidnapper because Jakob was hurt and how she misses him when he is gone, it shows how loyal and caring a dog can be. The part when Ellie is sad and lonely when Jakob is gone is very realistic because pets get really lonesome and bored when their owners are gone or away. This story teaches how change can be hard and you will be able to overcome it soon. I felt sad when Jakob got hurt because Ellie attacked the man and bit up his arm, showing loyalty.

Text to Self - Call it Courage

The book I am reading is Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry. Call it Courage, by Armstrong Sperry, is a story about a boy named Mafatu, his mom was taken by the sea because his mom risked her life so he could live, his father is the Great Chief of Hikueru. Mafatu's greatest fear is the water since that is how his mother died, although he has that fear he knows he knows he must face it once he turns fifteen. Mafatu decides to prove he has courage and goes to sea in his canoe during the night, then a lightning storm brings a big wave upon Mafatu. Mafatu survives but he lost his knife, water, and fishing spear. Mafatu looks up ahead and there is a land, it was different from his island, it was not flat and it had peaks and green trees. The character, Mafatu reminds me of somebody I know because I had this friend who was scared of going on this ride at this water park and she was scared to go on it. We were there with a group with a group of friends so some of our friends called he...

Text to Self: The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire

          I am currently reading  The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire  . It is the second book in the series and it is about a magical boy battling an evil power in which he had released himself in the first book of the series. In the first book, he moves in with his Aunt and Uncle after his parents are kidnapped. He soon discovers that behind the plaster in his wall are 99 hidden magical cupboards that lead to different worlds. The second book continues where the first left off.           I can connect to the main character Henry in many ways because of how he acts and feels towards his cousin Henrietta. To me, Henrietta acts like my little brother. Henrietta was one of the people who caused the huge mess that Henry now has to clean up. She also decided to go exploring the cupboards without telling anyone. In the end she ended up being captured. I believe my brother would act the same way as her if he was in the same situation....

"If you're reading this it's too late" is by pseudonymous bosch , is about a fight between max-ernst and ms.mauvais the two main characters . The book starts off with the narrator talking about a secret being let out and could cause danger to the reader and the person in the story , making the plot thicken and making the reader wonder "what's the secret" . in the book so far whats happens is , one of the main characters named max is in a very lucid dream that she wakes up from , feeling like she's being haunted by the thought of the evil ms.mauvais . The problem in this story is similar to an event that happened in history. Like the watergate scandal , in the watergate scandal richard nixon had a big secret going on. He was try to make sure it didn't get out just like in the beginning of my book big there's an ancient dangerous secret going on and if it was let out it would cause chaos . In both of the incidents there's a lot of chaos but...
