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.

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.
