In the book shadow cry a lot of things are going on right now, the character Kate Winters, learns how they can bring things back from the dead and their country is fighting in a war right now. This skill is very important to both sides the allies and the enemies. If the allies keep this power they can have fewer amounts of people fighting against the enemies because they can bring people back, but if they allow the opposing force to get her then the war will get worse and the country of Albion might get taken over. Kate is one of the most chased and searched for people in Albion due to her ability, it is very rare that one can cross the path's of life and death, and she is one of the people who can. She is the only person who can uncover and understand all of the secrets in the ancient book Wintercraft, she has to go to places she's only lost people before to figure out it's knowledge but she is going to if that's what needs to be done to protect her people and the two people she loves the most even if she has to make some horribly bad decisions along the way.
In this book I can tell that it's science fiction. The way I can tell this is that you can't bring people back from the dead and there isn't a country named Albion. A lot of things that happen in the story are unrealistic and impossible to happen in real life, only science could make them possible. In the book the girl Kate raises a bird from the dead, which so far is impossible to do, even with science.

Conflict and Theme blog on Pathfinder.
In the book Pathfinder there are several conflicts inside of the book. The main character Rigg faces the conflict of having a supernatural power and nobody understands why or how he got it. The only person who knows about it is his father. But the problem is that Rigg's father has died and his father was the only one to know anything about how Rigg's life has been.Now Rigg is discovering that his dad had known and kept from him his whole life. Rigg has the ability to see the paths of people's pasts, meaning that he can see what has happened in a persons past live and see how it all happened, but not only that but he can also change the past and alter the future. Rigg is uncertain about what will happen next but he knows it could change everything. Rigg is also conflicted with making a choice about which faction he should join. From his birth he had been required to have to choose a faction in which he would have to join, one who wishes to make him leader, and another one which questions everything that he does.
In the book Pathfinder I think that the theme is to choose your own path in life. I think this because Rigg doesn't let anyone else choose for him. He's a very independent person and he shows that with his charisma and strength. He shows how great of a leader he is and how he can help and be a strong person not just physically but mentally, and emotionally. He makes his own decision of what faction he joins and he doesn't think that anyone should be able to control his life and the choices that he chooses to make. He is as free as a bird, he soars on his own path through the sky.

Assessment for Lit (Article and Poem)
In the article about Nike workers they had said how the workers had been getting about a dollar an hour. The writers believe that these conditions that these people are living in aren't right and they aren't livable, so they need to change and they can't live off of the $1.25. Although this isn't illegal it leaves the person only enough t rent an 8x8 apartment and pay for two meals a day. The people that work for the Nike company in Indonesia can't afford things to keep their body healthy like soap and other stuff to keep themselves clean and get away from germs. If the people buy things like clothes or soap, they have to go starving because they can't afford to purchase the food These people are also working in factories where if they disobey the owners they'll get hurt or have things thrown at them and they just get poor treatment. Some people will have to stand in front of the hot sun. I think that these conditions and pay makes this practically slavery because this is how slaves were treated, they didn't get health benefits, they didn't get breaks for food and some people couldn't even leave until they had finished what they were doing. I heard how poorly these people were getting treated and I was surprised that there wasn't any labor laws like in America to prevent people from getting injured and having poor treatment. I also think that more countries should have a better law system to prevent this from happening to these people.
In the sweatshop poem the person feels as if they're a machine. They feel as if their life is all about work work work and nothing more that if a person doesn't work in their life they can't do anything. The person in the poem feels as if by doing all this work they literally lose their life as if it's taken straight out of them. They work makes them feel lifeless because of the time they spend doing it and it just transforms them into this machine as if they aren't even a human anymore. In the poem it conveys it's message differently than in the article. In the article they just gave the information out, but in the poem they used words and different was of writing to show that the person doesn't feel as if they're really a person anymore. Using a poem instead of an article can show people information and tell them a message in a different way instead of giving it in a boring article which sometimes can't be as well understood as a poem is.
