Text to World - Dead End in Norvelt.

     The book I'm reading is called Dead End in Norvelt. The Newsela article I want to relate it to is an article about the Kentucky school shooting.Dead End in Norvelt is a book about a boy named Jack on summer break. When he was playing with his fathers gun it accidentally Instead of being able to do his awesome over the summer plans, he was grounded for life. Although he's grounded he goes on scary, yet mysterious adventures.

     I want to use the Kentucky school shooting article because in the article, and the book, guns were fired. Although a school shooting is a lot more serious, in both story's, someone or some people got hurt. In the story, Jack accidentally fires his fathers weapon and gets a bloody nose because of how hard the weapon fired back. In the school Shooting, a lot of people were hurt. School shootings are never something that anyone would like to talk about, and it is necessary to be happy that the suspect was caught.

     During the story, I began to think, if Jack actually meant to shoot the gun on purpose. I think that he may have done this because when he was told that he was going to go over to his neighbors house to study, he wasn't very happy. and coincidentally as the gun "accidentally" shot the gun there was an ambulance at that same neighbors house. I am thinking that Jack is soon going to be someone he is just a person who looks to solve mysteries. Therefore, I believe that Jack is just a regular kid in the summer tying to live his life to the fullest.

Text to World - I Have A Bad Feeling About This

My book is  I Have A Bad Feeling About This by Jeff Strand. This book is about a teenager named Henry who would rather played video games than spend some time in the great outdoors. Soon enough his dad shipped him off to a survival camp with his best friend Randy. When he arrives he finds that the "camp director" is a psycho drill sergeant. When they expect to be greeted with lots of people participating he's surprised to find out that only 2 more boys will be staying with them for the rest of their time there. They are given extremely difficult tasks and are forced to do many things. One night when Henry was being disciplined he is forced to spend the night outside.

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 your reading this its too late"

"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...
