Mortal Instruments- text to text
This book reminds me of the series of Percy Jackson. They both are mythical.and have extra ordinary powers. They also both have to deal with fighting off evil. The main characters are both posed as the heros. In each of the stories they are filled with tons of action and excitement. They both interest me and keep me reading! They are very good and have lots of interesting characters. If you have read either of these books would you say they seem similar?

Mortal Instruments City of Bones- Why did the author write this type of work?
I think the author wrote this book for two reasons. One is because it is for entertainment. It is action-packed and full of cool suprises. It is really intresting and it is very unrealisitc, which makes you enjoy it even more. The book inculeds fantasy type powers, and cool tools that they use. Another reason is for the theme. I think that out of every book there is at least one meaningful theme to the story. Even though I haven't finished the book yet, I'm sure I will come across one. Especially at the end of the book, where the story wraps itself up. Also it is where most of the characters apoligize, and get back together (if they had become seperated or mad at each other).
Farenheit 451- Why did the author write this work?
I think that the author wrote this work to share his feelings about a controlled government. I think he is also trying to get across that it is ok to be diffrent than other people. He does these two things by saying that in 451, that they are not free to do what they want. They are strictly controlled and not even allowed to know things from the past. The author may be trying to say that he does not think that this is ok, and is should never happen. Also, he is trying to say that the world would be crazy with such a strict government. Everbody would have to be the same, and some people would not like that. They may revolt (such as Clarisse) by disobeying the gtovernment. Like in the book it seems as Clarisse and her family reads, which is strictly agianst the law.

My Blogger Experience
Click hereto view my best blog post.
I chose this post as my best blogger post and it was for the book, The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I chose this because in the text, I fully summarized to the reader what the book was about, detailing everything I could to make it easier to understand if they have never read it before. I explained the begining, conflicts, and result of the books ending. I also had chosen a good theme for the book. This was, "Always cherish what you've got because when its gone, you will have wished you did." This is because in the book Ronnie (main character) loses somebody in her life she took for granted, and never thought she would lose. She really didn't understand how good she had it until she lost them.This shapes her character from someone who didn't really care about anything, to somebody who cares about everthing. I explained in the post how this made her very upset, and changed her life forever.
One thing that I struggled with during my blogger experience was how I was not very timely organized with it. I would usually do them a day or two before they were due, causing me to not do them to the best of my abilities. The way that I decreased this issue it to start my blogger post on the day I get the assignment and work on it through the whole week, and perfect it on the day before it was due. Even though I did not always do this, the times I did I had a really good post. While blogging I had a few good strengths to work with. One of them was that I read the comments. This allowed me to see what errrors I made, and the good things I did in my posts. I also liked seeing what opinions other people had of my posts. This helped me achive the goal of a good post!
