Text to Text ~ Keeper of the Lost Cities

  In the story, Keeper of the Lost Cities Exile, which is the second book to this series. Sophie is still trying to recover from a life threatening, event that she had to go through. Sophie and her friend Dex were kidnapped, and drugged, etc. That was in the past, Sophie and Dex are back now, but things are different. Everyone thought they were dead before, so Sophie discover's she and her friends special graves that were made when people thought they were gone. Once Sophie comes to understand that and is back home, she connects with something, and after lots of mind connecting she discovers an alicorn, one of the last in the world. As Sophie finally adjusts, and is back to school, she is asked a very important question by her mind coach, Alden. He takes her down to the center of the Earth, which Sophie discoverer's is not as hot as the sun which she had been taught. He tells her they are in the most confidential prison in the world, in the center of the Earth called, Exile.
     I think Sophie's story in Keeper of the Lost Cities Exile, can be similar to the Hunger Games. I have not read those books, but I have seen the movies. Sophie and Katniss are both very strong female leads, they are both put into very life threatening situations. Which are most of the time with very dangerous people. Both Katniss and Sophie are stuck not only in danger zones, but in love triangles. In the book, the Hunger Games, Katniss has to choose between two boys, Peeta, and Gail. In Keeper of the Lost Cities, Sophie doesn't know who to chose out of her friends, Keefe, Fitz, and Dex. Sophie and Katniss have connections with all their options. Both of these girls are also very stubborn, they get anxious, and scared sometimes. They always manage to get through it with their special skills.
      I like the way the author doesn't always make Sophie save the day, Sophie fails sometimes, and she lies, and she is a normal girl (elf). This makes the story more relatable because you can really connect with making mistakes, and learning from them. Although it is a natural thing to do, I so wish that Sophie didn't lie so much, because it always gets her into trouble. If I were Sophie right now I would be so scared, she is going into a prison. The most classified prison with the most dangerous people. I don't know what is going through her mind right now. I think the setting, in the core of the Earth is important because it shows how classified the prison is. Sophie is a really brave elf.

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....
