Final Blogging Assessment

The blog that I chose was my blog about meaningful themes in the book, The Mortal Instruments. A sentence that I chose in the blog that demonstrates my voice very well is in the following sentence. I say, "This is really important to the main story and to the themes as well!" In this particular sentence I was talking about how I believed the main character, Clary chooses to help others. I then follow that by saying how I thought that her choices of helping them was very important to the story. I was saying in this sentence that it is important, which is something that I obviously believe. You can then think from this that I like to share my feelings about things, and explain what I think something may mean. My personalilty is very straight-forward because I say my opinions about it!

In my post I use good syntax. For the example I'll be using I use a balanced sentence, which is sentence structure. I say," Even though in the book every single character is faced with a difficult situation, they make it through it." This is balanced because it is not too long, or short, it is balanced! In my post I also use some diction! For this example I am showing the elevated/formal diction that I used in my post. I say in the post,"supernatural", which I believe is elevated diction. This is because it is not a plain, or boring word, but it is very intresting. Also it is a very diffrent word from others!

Text to text 2- Mortal Instruments

A book I find to be similar to Mortal Instruments is the book, Harry Potter. This is because in each of these books, they both are very unreal. Like how in each of them they have super abilities. In Harry Potter they have magical wizards. In Mortal Instruments, they have special super human abilities. They are both fantasy books, which also makes them similar! They both also keep my attention during the book! But even though they are more similar to me they have their differences. But for the most part, I'd say that they're pretty similar.

What point is the author trying to make? Mortal Insturuments

In my book, the setting is a fantasy type scene. The characters have special abilities, and fight for good. They try to fight the bad off, which makes me seem like this has something to do with what they author is trying to tell us. I think the author is trying to say, do what is best. Or maybe, fight for what is right. But, during this the characters all face different struggles, and choices. So each of the choices could possibly be something the author wants us to know as well. I think the author has many different points to get across to us!

right or wrong, good and evil- Mortal Insturments

In my book the author does tell about right or wrong. This is because in the book they go against all of the "bad" people, and fight against the wrong doings of others. This also contributes to the good or evil, because they try as hard as they can to stop the evil people. They fight against crime and evil to make things right again. In the book there is a main villain in which they fight against, so he is the main "evil" character. They try and stop the things that he does because it hurts the society in which they live in. They try to restore peace, and good to it as well. They try their best to make sure that they villain wont win in this battle!

What does the work tell us about how people behave?- Mortal Instruments

In my book it is a fantasy book. So they usually have special abilities which make them stronger. In my book Clary has special abilities which make her smarter, and stronger. Also since in fantasy books, there is usually a villain, they all go and try to fight the villain. This makes every single character stronger! They usually behave very heroic and out-going. The villain acts very evil, and controlling. Even though this is how the characters behave in my book, it is how most characters behave in a lot of books.

Meaningful themes-Mortal Instruments

One of the most meaningful themes I picked up that were being displayed in the book was, "stay strong." Even though in the book every single character is faced with a difficult situation, they make it through it. Another important theme I noticed was, "always consider the choices." I say this because in the beginning of the book, Clary finds out her supernatural abilities, and has the choice to understand them or ignore them. Also, when she meets Jace, she also has the choice to follow him and help him, or to go on with her life. My last theme I chose is, "help when it is needed." Because Clary always decides to help in the booked when it is needed. She decides to help to save her mom, and to help Jace.

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?
