Call of Duty (Scope Blog)

After having read the Call of Duty scope article I had a lot of thoughts. I think that the veterans who had dogs in wars should be able to get them as soon as possible after the veterans leave war. For a lot of people their dogs brought them comfort which can be helpful to them after the war so they can have help if they have a disorder like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to help comfort them and be with them. I also think that it isn't right for the dogs to be treated as equipment instead of living breathing things. Dogs are an animal and we have all these groups which protect that and the dogs aren't even treated as if they're an actual thing they're treated like a piece of equipment which is replaceable. What I think should happen is, the Government steps in and helps out with veterans adopting dogs so they can have they're dog by their side all the time because they do say dog is mans best friend.

Summary and POV (Pathfinder)

So far in the book a lot of things have happened to people. The main character Rigg is arrested because they think that he's impersonating the prince when he really is the prince but was stole at birth by the man that he calls father. He later then meets his sister and mother for the first time and his sister has a strange ability. She is able to slow down time and she becomes invisible, but if anything passes through her while she is slowing time then she can become gravely injured or possibly killed.  These humans from Earth had went to start a new life and planet which they had called Garden. Some people had even gained unnatural abilities such as being able to slow down time and even go faster through time to see what the future is like.

POV in my book Pathfinder, it is written in the first person. The way I can tell that it is, is that the main character Rigg, is talking a lot and he is saying I, I'm or myself. Often throughout the story Rigg is talking to other people and when he does he is always saying I when referring to himself. I am able to tell that the story is written in first person by sentences in the story. Here's one of the sentences "If I reproduce then my difference might be passed on to my descendants.". There's also "I would have been used to advance the survival of the colonists and their offspring." I like reading books in the first person point of view because you can actually experience it more. You can feel as if you are the main character, it really can make a book come to life in my opinion.

Summary and Character Analysis.

Summary and Character Analysis.

I think that The Fault in Our Stars is a great book for all teens and adults. It shows stories of hardship and losing people. It shows how you can find something good in every situation. Hazel finds a boy Augustus who she falls in love with who was in the same situation with cancer and they're making the best of it. Then there's a boy Isaac who has cancer and he can't even focus on himself.


Character Analysis

Isaac

Isaac is a boy who had cancer that had affected his eyes, and sight. He was one of Augustus best friends. The boy is madly in love with his girlfriend who later breaks up with him in the story. He then loses his eyesight and all he cares about is his girlfriend. I can tell he's a very loyal and caring person. All he could think about was his girlfriend leaving even though he had this eye surgery which made him blind. He was also a caring person, because he would think about others before his own self.

Lemon Brown Blog

The story of Lemon Brown is about a man named Sweet Lemon Brown. This man had a good life until things had started changing for the worse. This story had shown me how things can change within an instant and nothing lasts forever and nothing stays the same. Lemon brown was a good musician in his time and then his life had started going bad. I thought it was interesting that people had wanted to attack Lemon Brown and rob him because he seemed like a really nice guy. Greg had changed because he saw how Lemon Brown's life was and he saw the brighter side of every situation.
