Throughout this week The sheappeard has learned his personal legend and has finally taken steps towards accomplishing it. Hes met many interesting people along his way such as the king, and the englishman. They have all thought him different things that end up helping him.

This week I've read about the shepherds early life with his parents and how he became the boy that he is today. We learn the adventures that he is going on to find what hes dreamed about. Along the way hes met many different people who have all taught him very different lessons.

This week Jessica has created many new goals, and has got a lot of motivation from the people around her. She has started to feel happiness and has started a entire new chapter in her life recently.

Jessica has recently had lots of changes with her relationships and peers. Some of these changes are good like Jessica and Gavin, and Jessica and Rose. They have become closer and seem to trust each other more then before. Some of the other relationship changes are bad. Like Jessica and her dad. She has seemingly lost some trust for him since he shared personal business with the news.

This week Jessica has been working to give hope to her friends, family, and even herself. Shes been taught that even when things seem hopeless or useless there is always a chance for things to turn around. This is showing her she shouldn't give up so easy on the things that she wants.

This week Jessica has started to get more comfortable in her own skin. Shes had a great amount of courage that allowed her to go back into school, get homework done and overall just get her life back. She has also started getting hopeful about her future.

This week we have learned about Jessica's injury. We also see her beginning steps at recovery. We see her battle her emotions and struggle to stop the addiction with her pain medications. Right now she feels different. She also has problems with remembering that day all over again.

Throughout this week we have learned that a lot of characters have secret parts to them that you have to look deeper to see. Most characters like Pierce and Ronnie seemed to have bad intentions. The more i've read i've learned all of these characters have backstories and reasons they act the way that they do.

So far this week theres been alot of character relationship changes. For example Quadir broke up with his girlfriend. And Jasmine, Rell, and Quadir all had a fight because of Stephs music and the deal that they made.

Throughout this week We have learned that Quadir's thoughts about jasmine have changed for the better. He sees her less as Stephs little sister and more as a friend or maybe even more. As for Stephs music its getting much more attention and even publishers are wanting to get involved

Throughout this week Reading let me hear a rhyme we start to learn that Quadir and Jarrell are starting to trust jasmine and her ideas. This is important because making their plan work they all need to work together. Throughout reading it seems that Jarrell may know what happened to steph. I wonder if he is planning on betraying jasmine and Quadir. Jasmine and Quadirs relationship also seems to be growing positively.

Throughout this week reading let me hear a rhyme we have learned more about the characters and their home lives.We learn their plan for stephs music and finding out how he died. We learn the kind of person steph was through memory moments including him and through his sisters thoughts about him.

I think that steph was everyones hero. His friends and family looked up to him. He helped them and saved them when they needed it. For example he saved his friend from getting arrested.

Rory feels like things are unfair.I know this because everyone has expected him to forgive Brent just because he now has a brain injury. Not only is this unfair because no one knows how Brent truly treated Rory behind closed doors. But no Rory will also have to share his speech class with Brent.

I think that Rory is motivated to act the way he does towards Brent because of what happened on the dirt bike trail.The story has hinted and given slight details to what may have occurred that day but we aren't sure yet. All we know is after that day Brent started bullying Rory and Rory no longer thought of Brent as his friend.

I think that the theme for this book is don't judge someone before you get a chance to walk in their shoes. The reason i think this is because Brent bullied Rory about his speech and just how he acted in general.Now Brent is in a rehab center doing way worse then Rory on his speech and physical things.

Brent was in the hospital after the accident.We've yet to see how he acts yet but I think he might forget things making him think he's still close with rory.The reason I think this is because He had a bruise on his brain. This would cause problems with his thoughts and memories.

I think the hero for Rory is Mr.Simms. He treats him like he's normal and makes sure nobody eles is treating him differently either. I think Mr. Simms will end up teaching him how to speak better. Which will eventually make his middle school carrer better.

I just started this book ,but i think i can connect it to my life. Rory is struggling with starting middle school and making new friends. When i first started middle school i felt the exact same way. He has two good friends that should make it easier for him to process this new start. Though i feel bad his old friend has started bullying him.I think its only because his friend wants to fit in.

I predict in my book that hadley is going to find oliver.The reason I believe this is because she just found out his father died and left in the middle of wedding pictures to find him. He must be really important for her to do that seeing that she made a bad impression on the entire wedding party by doing that. I think this will bring them closer together.

I predict that bri is going to continue her rapping career. The reason i think this is because her and her mom had a long discussion about it. When someone has a dream you cant stop that and bri isn't one to back down from her dream. I do think she will fire supreme as her manager after everything he did to her and what she recently found out that he did to his own son.

I think that bris mentality is changing. She has started to realize everything thats shes been doing hasn't been her. Its been supreme, and hes setting her up for failure by every thing that hes doing.Such as the song he had written for her that puts out a even worse image which isn't gonna help her in the long run. I hope that she listens to her mom and cuts of supreme before things get more out of hand.

Bri was going through a lot and started crying. This doesn't seem very important,but this is good because bri hasn't cried in years. She forced herself not to and held everything inside. I think shes starting to realise shes able to depend on her family to be there and she doesn't have to keep all of her feelings inside.

There was an important quote in what i read i would consider it an a-ha moment."all the clips on my hips change my figure I stop writing." The reason i think this was important is because i think shes starting to realise how her lyrics may have came out wrong and our affecting other people.I hope she puts out a new song soon to clear things up i think that would do a lot for her publicly.

My current thoughts on the theme is that you shouldn't hold back your feelings or thoughts in fear others will say.The reason i feel it is this is because bri was scared to show the video of her being assaulted.So people made assumptions of who she was and what she did, When she finally got the courage people just made excuses on why she deserved it.

The conflict going on in my book right now is person vs society.EVeryone is judging bri for her song but none of them have even tried to get to know what the song means.They automatically assume things because of who she is. I Think it was smart what they did posting a music video to show what her lyrics were actually trying to show.I still think people will look over it though and make her out to be a villain.

The Anti hero in my book was Richard. He was seen as the villain in the beginning.Someone who had no intent on changing their ways.Someone who couldn't get off that wrong path.He proved everyone wrong and showed he was capable of change and empathy and changed his future for the better by the programs and schooling he was involving himself with.

The current theme in my book in my opinion is things that may seem small to you in the moment can turn out to have a big impact in your life.The reason I believe this is because RIchard thought lighting Sasha's skirt on fire would be a funny prank they would wake up and be scared but wouldn't be a big deal.Now he is facing 5-7 years in juvie and has already been on trial for a little over a year.

I predict that Richard is gonna have to go through the tasks for forgiveness from sasha and her family.The reason that I believe this is because Sasha's family already understands what happened and asked he not be charged as an adult.There are also lawyers hearing his story who are interested in helping him.Which is why I think it will end up in his favor.

I predict that richard will be sentenced to life in prison.Everyone just expects him to get off the hook because he's a child and I think that's not going to happen.The judges haven't seemed to be on his side from day one and I don't think that has suddenly changed.
