Post 4: Theme

I think that the theme of the book "Found" is there is always a bigger problem. I think this because at the beginning of the book Jonah was worried about trying out for the 7th grade basketball team, but when he received a mysterious letter all his priorities shifted to finding out who sent the letter to him and his best friend.

WARNING NEXT PART OF POST CONTAINS SPOILERS. DO NOT READ ON IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON READING THE BOOK "FOUND" LATER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The second reason why I think that the theme is there is always a bigger problem is because for most of the book the team had thought that they were just kidnapped children from third world countries and that they were going to get in trouble for finding out where they came from and then they would probably be sent back to where they lived before they were kidnapped. But when they entered the cave they found out that they were the missing children from history and that they had to choose between going to the future and living perfect lives or going to the past and sacrificing themselves to stop the time ripple and stop time from collapsing in on itself. This shows you that every time you think that there is a big problem there is a bigger one right around the corner.

Post 3:Charecter Meet

If I could meet any character in the book "Found" it would be Katherine. This is because Katherine does not give up on something once she puts her mind to it. For example Katherine convinced her brother to bring her to a council for adoptees even though he was extremely reluctant. Another reason why I would like to meet Katherine is because she is not afraid to say what is on her mind. For example when Angela Dupre tells her highly doubt-able story Katherine is not afraid to tell Angela what she thinks of the sketchy story.

Post 2: Favorite Charecter

My favorite character is Eragon from the book "Eragon." This is because Eragon endures so much hardship and change throughout the first book. He ends up goring from a simple farm boy to being the only hope for a land fighting against an evil king. At first Eragon does not know what a mysterious blue stone he found in a forest is, but since it looks cool he could probably sell  it for a few nights rations. But after failing to sell it to the local butcher he takes it home for the night and sleeps. In the middle of the night Eragon is woken up to the "stone" cracking open and a baby dragon pops out. Suddenly Eragon is thrust into a magical world of dwarfs, elves, and yes of course, dragons.  Eragon endures loss, love, heart ache, and the responsibility of carrying the fate of a nation on his shoulders. What makes Eragon my favorite character is the fact that he does not let this new-found life change him in a bad way  For example when Eragon finds out about his powers of being a dragon rider he does not act like a celebirty. Instead, he becomes curious to learn about all the cultures in this new world. Another reason why Eragon does not change for the worst over the course of the story is because after loosing his uncle does not use his powers to cause harm. Instead he uses his powers to help people. Eragon changes over the course of the story because at the beginning because he matures and understands the meaning of life. Eragon and I are close because we both had to endure the loss of someone close to us at a young age.

Post 1: Introduction


Myfavorite book is Eragon because itcombined description, action, and a hint of mystery to make a book that I could not put down.

I prefer to read Fantasy and Science Fiction books.

Iam currently reading the book called OneDead Spy by Nathan Hale (the author, not the spy). The book picks off whenNathan Hale (the spy this time not the author) is about to be hanged in frontof a crowd of people. But, when the crowd finds out that the person beinghanged is not the arsonist who started a fire earlier in the week they allleave and go home. While waiting for the rope to arrive the hangman and Hale(Again, the spy. I will be referring to the spy until I say I am not) discusswhat his last words will be. When Hale utters the historic phrase “I regret that I have only have but one lifeto give for my country…” Suddenly a giant United States of America historybook comes down and eats Hale with one gulp. Not a moment later the historybook rises up and spits Hale out and then flies away. Nathan Hale then explainsthat his last words were so memorable that they were put in the history bookforever. And in turn for his donation he had seen the entire history of America.He then continues to explain to a British official and the hangman how therevolutionary war began and how it would end. In the next book Nathan Haleexplains the course of the Civil war.

All right that's all from me for now I hope you will enjoy my awesome blog!
