The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak has Liesel Meminger as the main character. She is anine year old girl who is forced into foster because her mother was not able to take care of her and her brother.
But before being able to reach their destination,  while riding the train Lisel's brother was discovered to be dead. After quickly having small funeral for him they arrived at the residents of Liesel's new parent guardians, Mr. and Mrs. Hubermann. In the book Liesel has a wide variety of reactions to the setting of parts in the book and also often the settings symbolize things shown in the book.


For example Liesel basically breaks down when she sees her brother buried underground. The fact of never being able to see him again hits her hard and it is so difficult for to comprehend what is going on, she begins to dig for his body. In this part in the book, it is snowing and cold outside. I believe it symbolizes the emotion of Liesel, her brain frozen she can't think. Only acton her emotions...
Later in the book after 5 years of being adopted she still misses her mother and attempts to write letters to her, but her conflict, is her mother is not responding back. In this part of the she is in the basement, which can be dark at times. At this time she is growing weary to the hopelessness of her attempts and go into a internal dark setting much like the basement.

Setting is a key part to a character's reaction or emotions because it set a mood in them. Whether it involves weather or the lightness of a room or etc. They all have a part in creating setting not only in the location of the character but also the internal setting of the character.

I noticed in there are a lot of injustice in the world make life difficult for others.This can apply to many groups of people,families,worker and countries. Even the whole world itself. But with this injustice I also seen greatness at it's best, I have seen people do things that I would not not do if I were put in the same position. There a are a lot of these occurrences and I cannot name them all, here are some that I witnessed first hand.

I was reading my library book when I notice a example of injustice. A protagonist name Luffy. Had to confront a pirate dictator named Arlong, who had taken a village away from it's people. But before the people were afraid of Arlong who was so powerful no one was brave enough to show objection to his arbitrary law.It wrong for him to take something that was not is, especially when it is owned by multiple people. Dictation take away the land of people, but also the right own by the people there as well.

I attend a Junior Scholars Program,where members showed a video about the Children's March . And decided to read a article on this event afterwards. The events in this the article took place in 1963 Birmingham,Alabama, this was when Martin Luther King Jr was attempting to march on city hall but was arrested. Later he was release and had the idea of filling up the jails to show unity was willing to let anyone help. But he did not expect was came next, only the children there volunteered. He told them should not experience that. But  they created D-day were they would continue King's plan but only children. I was amazing how the kids would stand up for the adults when in the regular situation requires adults to protect. It showed how kids would do something so great.

 In conclusion there can be many unjust things in the world and they may make our situations rough and seem very impossible for us to control on our own. But we will always the very common miracles that inspire regular people to follow their example and face that injustice for not only for their sake but for the sake others. Whether for their close friend,family member, or stranger.

Non fiction reading response

 In the article "Yes, teen fiction can be dark - but it shows teenagers they aren't alone," The author, Maureen Johnson discusses how she feel about Meghan cox Gurdon's "Darkness too visible," article. At first she talk about her first thoughts about what Meghan had written and he makes it clear he against Meghan's perspective on YA Lit. He wrote" The idea that "darkness" doesn't belong in stories makes me wonder if the author of this article has ever read any Poe, Dickens, Shakespeare..." This part made think Maureen thought Meghan was not familiar with young adult authors such as these.This eventually lead to how he thinks Meghan's Definitions of "dark," does not really fit with what she claims. She also discusses why young adult literature issues that seem dark are the books, in the article she says that these issue not included to corrupt or cause harm to others, but they simply there to educate. I saw how Mareen Johnson was showing that YA lit. is for helping youth understand these issues are real.

Mareen Johnson had use some craft moves in her article to show his thoughts.For example use a humorous simile that showed her opinion and some personality at the same. Here is what she wrote,The term covers all genres. Cox Gurdon might as well be saying:"All food is Italian food, and I don't like Italian food, so it should not exist. The fact that it does exist means the food industry is forcing it on my children!" Nearing the end of the article she wrote a short story about how she suggested  writing about the affects of young adult literature on them. Within hours of his post on twitter he had gained over 15,000 reponses. But there was one more craft move that I noticed. It was when he wrote directly Meghan as if she was actually talking to her.

I agree with the author because Meghan doesn't really understand young adult literature or it's purpose. Where as Mareen knows that young adult literature is meant to teach youth that these situations in their are books real and are like guides to handling these things.
I Personally think that the best part of the article was when the author had wrote: So, to Meghan Cox Gurdon – those books you and those like you are so glibly dismissing … maybe you don't like it. That's fine. But that may be a book that changes or even saves someone's life. My first thought was this just left something for Meghan to think about.

Free? written by multiple authors is a book about stories involving human right. One character name Ryan, taught me that being aware can not helped you but it may also make a diffrence in ways you wouldn't expect. This character showed how, when  people make a change in the lives of others. 

The Great Gastby

 Over the summer I was reading the book called The Great Gastby by  F. Scott Fitzgerald. I was interested in the book because I was wondering  about the character named Jay Gatsby who keep on becoming more mysterious every chapter and somehow he is connected, in a way, to every character in the book. He also has a lot of rumors being told about him that made me attempt to figure out whether they true or not. But this only one of the reasons i was interested in this book.
