iNDEPENDENt READiNG B00k

the book im reading now is called "a night to remember" its about the white star liner titanic's final hours im not quite done but this book got my attention so far the feelings and emotions i get towards it are sad and i keep on getting like a knot in my stomach the more i read what i know so far of this book is that there was 705 survivors out of 1,503 passengers that was a real shock for me i know that if they wouldve packed the boats with the right amount of people becuase some life boats were not even close to the capacity they were able to hold well anyways i recommend that this can be a class book becuase then they would learn how irresponsible people can be and then they can watch the love story movie titanic.

THE ALCEMIST QUESTIONS PART 2

IM SIMILAR TO SANTIAGO BECAUSE WE BOTH HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS ON OUR OWN.

IM DIFFERENT FROM HIM BECAUSE HE PROBABLY HAS MORE RESPONSIBILITIES THAN I DO.

I AGREE WITH HIS DECISIONS BECAUSE IF I WERE IN HIS POSITION I WOULD DO THE SAME.

IF I HAD TO CHOOSE TO EITHER PURSUIT MY DREAM I WOULD BECAUSE MY DREAMS ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.

I THINK THAT CARING FOR SOMEONE CAN AFFECT THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE BECAUSE THAT PERSON MIGHT DISAGREE WITH YOU AND YOU PROBABLY DONT WANNA HURT THAT PERSON WITH YOUR DECISION.

THE ENGLISHMAN BECAUSE HE CHOSE TO GO TO THE OASIS.

A SyMB0L

well a symbol that i chose from the alchemist was an oasis and oasis is a fertile or green area in a region or desert.
another symbol i chose was alchemy; alchemy is a philosophy of base on gold.
the last symbol i chose was an omen; omen means a phenomenom supposed to protend good or evil.

tHE ALCHEMiST PiCTURE ADD


this picture reminds me of the alchemist because they talk and talk about caravans and camels and stuff. i can relate to this picture because it looks like an old gang and thats how it is with me and my homegirls and homeboys outside of the school. we be rolling pretty deep but only in the back streets not where people can spot us cause then they can catch us and yeah. but this picture is simple and yea does remind me of the alchemist.

Mayam’s blog letter

Dear Mr. Art Spiegelman
I thought your book Maus is a good book. I’m not quite done with it. I think the book is very interesting I always get to a part where I’m thinking “what’s going to happen next. The idea of the mice being the Jews and the cats being the Nazis is a very g00d idea. The thing that makes the book not be boring is the comic strips. It gives you an idea of what’s going on in the story and it makes you understand it. Well I need to finis reading it so I can give in more thoughts.
Sincerely,
Mayam .G
