   In the literacy narrative I have yet to encouter trouble. I am only about half way through but I think it will go smoothly for the rest of the paper. If i have any trouble i will got to the writing lab or someone in my family. I think the paper will be good.

   In the book i am reading, Legend. The main character has gone through a lot of heartbreak. His brother has gotten sick. He hasn't been able to get medicine for his little brother either. The medicine for the plague is hard to come by, and he and his family are broke. He has to try really hard to get the medicine. He even resorts to robbing a hospital for medicine, but he still doesn't get any.

   Ah sleep at last. Todays training was tough, I really pushed it to the limit. I am anxious after tonight's sleep I only have ten more days before i fight the dragon and dragon master. I am scared, The dragon slayed my father, the best knight I know.  Surely the dragon will have no trouble defeating me. I am just a fraction of my father's strength and skill.

   Maybe I am as good or even better than my father before me. I have trained harder than everybody else in the kingdom combined. I do train all day long so I may defeat the dragon. The king did hand pick me alone to go out and face the dragon, I wonder the the king see's in me.

  The reading i have been doing lately has really caught my attention. In my book it is just interesting hearing this man's view on a futuristic world. I believe that in the book The main character will find a way to save his little brother from the disease.The only problem is he has to do this while running from the government. I think he will do this with his best friend and his brother, which are the only two that know he is alive.

  In the reading we have been doing in our class notebooks I have learned that a lot of people are stuck to their ways of life. Like in Da-dah, Da-dah is very cranky and likes to control everything that goes on around her. She has to control her family and what happens inside of her family. In the story A&P the store manager kicks the girls out of the store because they are in bathing suits. He is controlling what goes on around him because he feels the need to control everyone and thing that goes on in the store.

9/16 post 1

   I am still reading legend. I haven't gotten that much further only about 60 more pages, but both of the main characters, Day and June have matured. June has gotten a job and Day was trying to save his little brother who has a disease. The disease is something that is going around the poor districts of the cities.

   It is really sad think about Day;s life he really has a tough one. I din't want to see anything happen to him in the book. It is really weird I have never got caught up in a book like this. I really can't put it down. I want to finish reading it but i also don't want to finish it to fast.

   I am concerned about who will read the ebook. I know a lot of people but my story is kind of personal. I guess it really doesn't matter because I don't get embraced too easily. Really people reading my literacy narrative won't bother me in the long run, but i am not going to show everyone my paper freely.

   Also I have some ideas for making the Ebook better.

   I watched the documentary This is Water by David Wallace. It was really inspiring and a whole new look at how people should feel about the tedious and boring things that humans go though in everyday life. Things that people as a whole just want to get mad for example, people get mad at things that are in there way when they are doing something that they don't like to do

   This video shows us that everyone is rushing around so much that no one ever stops to think about what other people might need. People as a whole need to stop rushing around so much and think about what's really important. Things that are important is being considerate about other peoples feelings..People need to change.

   The book I am reading is called Legend by Marie Lu. I have only just begun reading this book and I can tell it is. action-packed and full of adventure. The main character is named Day.He does what is necessary to stay alive. He does all of this while watching out for his family, who think he's dead. He is also wanted dead or alive!

   I am looking forward to learning more about Day and his adventures and reading the next book in the sequel. Book one has drug me in by my feet. Once i start reading it it's hard to get me to stop. I have always enjoyed reading a good book, but this book is one of the better ones I have read in a while. I really enjoy t and I can't wait till i finish!

8/26 second post

     The other night I was sleeping soundly in my cool, serene bed. I was in the middle of a dream. A nightmare really. It was an illusion of a fiery malignant spirit chasing me down a hall. The demon finally caught me and thumped me on the top of my head. I was awakened by the sound of the demon inside my head. Then all of a sudden I hear it again, thwack! And then silence. Nothing but dead air.
     
   I start looking around my room because I felt that whatever caused the noise was right there in my presence. I looked around my dark and shadowy room and I could not see a thing. I throwback my covers and sat bolt-upright. I tried to rub the darkness out of my eyes. I was scared! I flew for the lights, and on my way I landed on something blocking my path. It jumped and ran into the darkness to hide. I quickly flicked on the light switch and looked around for any demons that could be near. I didn't see a thing. I knelt down to look under my bed and looking back at me were dark green eyes enveloped in dark thick fur. It was my cat!

post 8/26 ( dated last post wrong)

   The book I am reading is City of Bones. The question I was trying to answer about the book is why they named it the City of Bones. In the book Clary, the main character, finds herself learning about these people called "shadow hunters." What interests me is characters are only able to see monsters if they are related to the "shadow hunters"

   When Clary's mom finds out that she has seen monsters she freaks out. She starts packing her stuff and gets ready to leave the city. Clary gets mad and leaves the apartment so that she can go hang out with her friend. While she is with her friend she gets a call from her mom saying that she is getting attacked by a monster. Clary has to hurry home to save her mother.

   Hi i am Alex. This is my second year at Episcopal. I enjoy playing sports and having fun. I am a little concerned about the work load this year, but i will try my best to keep up with it. I am really scared to get out and jump into high school. Last year I did pretty good with not getting behind in any work. This year I am already struggling. I know i need to work harder to do good this year.

   I think if I really set my mind to it I can do it. I am good at doing what I set my mind to. The only problem I see coming up is not being able to focus because I do not in joy school that much. I really will try this year but I need help, my mom is trying really hard, I have a feeling we will get it done.

Book summary on Acceleration

     Acceleration is about a boy named Duncan who is trying to save a drowning girl. When he fails he is mad. Then at his job he finds a journal filled with murder stories. In the journal it is telling who this guy has killed and who he is going to kill next. Duncan goes on a journey to try and stop this killer from killing anybody else.

   Acceleration is based off of life struggles in a way. I mean you are not going to go out and try to stop murders everyday day, but you will have challenges in life. For Duncan every murder is going to happen in a different place at a different time and date. He is adapting as the story goes on. In life we have to adapt to the changes we go to, to not drown under all the work and life problems that we as humans have.
