In the book, I'm in the part where Benjamin has realized the he should be a spy and has decided to attend Spy School. One connection I can make with Ben is that we both have had to expierence switiching schools. It's hard because you to have to leave your friends and make new ones. In most cases you have to switch cities as well which is tough. I was very sad on the last day at my old school, but Ben won't be.

Jensen R is on page 77 of 227 of Fahrenheit 451
In the novel, I have just finished the novel of the book where Montag will someday in the future reach the city. One connection from this book to the Giver is that both Jonas and Montag have the same climaxes. This is because they both escape from the city that neither of them like. In the end, both characters escape, and both authors leave you with two very vague endings that make you think.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Montag has escaped the city successfully and has found a home in the forest. One character from the novel that has the trait of being cowardly is Mr. Faber. This is because he didn't really go out of his house to help Montag, instead he just gave him a chip in his ear to talk to him. He also has these other gadgets which he admits makes him more cowardly.

I'm in the part where Montag just killed Beautty, his horse was burned down, Mildred drove away, and the Hound injured his leg really badly. The main theme for this story is Self-Assurance. This is because Montag has just realized he has been taught that books are bad, but is really not true. He basically lives a sad life where his wife doesn't even love him, he is not happy in his job, and everyone doesn't like him.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Montag had a talk with Faber to save the books. One example of how the author enhances the story is being using a lot of metaphors. For example, "The images drained away, as if water had been let out from a gigantic crystal bowl of his hysterical fish." This makes the story relatable and helps readers understand the book better and easier.

In the novel, I'm in the part after the crazy moment where Guy's wife took too many of her medications. One conflcit between Guy and Clarisse is that Clarisse is thinking that Guy is not happy in life and keeps asking him if he is. Guy keeps saying he is, but from a reader's point of view, it doesn't seem that he is happy. This could lead to Guy not liking Clarisse because the same question being asked to him.

Jensen R is finished with Badasses: The Legend of Snake, Foo, Dr. Death, and John Madden's Oakland Raiders
In the novel, I'm at the end of the novel. A conflict in the part I was reading was the bad end to the Badass Era. Many things did not go well for the Raiders after the badass era. Stabler become bad and got traded, Madden retired, and most players that were good in the Badass era were either not good anymore or just too old to play. Sadly, there were many issues that ended the badass Raiders.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the Raiders have finally made to the Superbowl. One connection I can make is a prediction on who will win the superbowl. The matchup is between the vikings and the raiders, and the book is almost coming to an end. Therefore, I think the Raiders are going to win the superbowl against the vikings.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about the great defensive players on the Raiders in the past. One trait a character posses in the story is caring which if from John Madden. For example, throughout the entire training camp season and the actual season. In training camp, he makes sure every player gets back to the hotel at night safely, and in the season, he gives players a chance to start.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is evaluating each player of the 70s Raiders. The title Badasses is a good one for this book. The name is reffering to the players and how bad/cool they were. Everyone knows the Raiders for being bad, and they're just really good at what they do. Every player plays with a bad style of play, and plays like they're better than everyone.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about new additions to the team in 1973 and the draft class that year. My claim for this book is that it is one of the best football books ever written. The readers are given many behind the scenes details about the 70s Raiders. By the end of the book, you will probably know a lot about each player, which makes the Raiders one of the most loved franchises.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about how the 70s Raiders went through training camp in the summer, and all the bad stuff they did. If I had to be friends with someone on the team at this time, I would choose John Madden (head coach). If I to pick a roll for a NFL team, I would pick coach because I want to be the one calling the plays. Learning from Madden would be an awesome expierence.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about how Al Davis became owner of the Oakland Raiders in the 70s. My first question in the plot is at what year will they end this book? My second question is that what will the author be writing about towards the end of the book?

Jensen R is on page 341 of 352 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)
I have just finished the book, ending with Harry saying goodbye to his friends on the train. "You will find that when I truely have left this school when none here are loyal to me and help will be given to those who need it" The quote by Dumbledore in the book is clearly to suppose to be said to Harry, because Fawkes comes down to help Harry in the Chamber. So we know now that this quote was meant for Harry Potter.

I'm in the part of the book where Harry, Ron, and Fang have just escaped from the spider in the forest Hagrid had been nurturing. One thing I would change about the novel is that there should be more info on the Chamber of Secrets. It has been explained very vaguely throughout the book, all we know is that it's a chamber that holds a monster. There are so many questions that haven't been answered.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Harry and Ron have just finished interrogating Malfoy as his two friends Crabbe and Goyle. The setting of this book takes place at a school full of kids training to be wizards. The school is almost similar to an actual castle full of many rooms. This story coudln't have been placed in a different setting, and it is essential that the story takes place where the author chose.

In the novel, I'm in the part where one of Harry's teacher has just finished explaining the myth of the Chamber of Secrets. My connection is that I predict later on in the story, a bad guy is going to open the chamber of secrets in Hogwarts and Harry is going to be the person to stop the bad guy, and also that the bad guy might have something to do with Voldemort.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Harry and Ron are currently in their first couple of weeks in Hogwarts, after their flying car crash incident. I'm going to analyze a quote from Dobby, the house elf, "But Dobby had come to protect Harry Potter, to warn him, Harry Potter cannot go back to Hogwarts!" This means that when Harry goes back to Hogwarts, terrible things will happen, and the plot has just started.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Harry is currently at Ron's house, after Ron and his twin brothers broke him out of the Dursly's house. In my opinion, the best character so far is Ron Weasley. This is because he starts the plot of the book by freeing Harry out his house and bringing him to his house, which I thought was the most entertaining part of the book so far.

In the novel, I have just finished reading my book. Harry has defeated Professor Quirrel and Voldemort and is going over these events with Dumbledore. A major conflict in this book is Harry's group of friends versus Malfoy and his friends. This conflict is conflict with another character. Throughout the story, these groups are constantly fighting and trying to get eachother in trouble. In the end Harry wins the feud.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Harry finds out that Voldemort found a way to grab the sorcerers stone, and is currently chasing after him. The significance of the title is that it is telling us that Harry is going to encounter the dramatic experience on stopping Voldemort from getting the stone and coming back to full life. The story's events include Harry's time at Hogwarts that leads up to the climax.

I'm currently in the part of the novel where Harry has been chosen as a seeker for his quidditch team and is now practicing to prepare for the game. The setting takes place at a school called Hogwarts. It is a big and interesting place where kids learn wizardry. There is a big hall where everyone eats, classrooms, field, and four towers for the four houses. This story cannot be in a different setting.

In the novel, I'm in the part where Harry is on the train that goes to Hogwarts. He has just met Ron, and is currently into the chocolate frogs that give you different wizard cards. The connection that I have with this part of the book is that since Harry is traveling somewhere new, over the summer, I traveled to Oahu. I've never been there before so it was a new expierence for me, similar to Harry going to Hogwarts.

I'm in the part where Harry Potter finds out that he is a wizard, and is shopping with Hargrid for supplies for Hogwarts. I feel the style of J.K Rowling is very descriptive, and explains the character's internal feelings.
