"The Walking Dead The Rise Of The Governor"

Since the other blog they have decided to stay at the house for a while.  When it was night time Philip stayed with Penny in the living room. Philip was watching out incase any zombies intrude the house while Penny tries to sleep. Brian was still awake and he kept hearing something in the attic so right away he thought it might be that little boy they haven't found. Brian was terrified but he didn't want to go to his "little brother" for this so he went up by himself. The noise was coming from a coffin and while Brian found the coffin Philip found Brian looking at it. Brian was the one who ended up opening the coffin and you'll find out in the next blog what was inside the coffin.

The genre of this would probably be mystery and fantasy because it is sorta of a mystery of how this all began. The fantasy part would be the fact that there are zombies roaming around. It is also a mystery because a lot of things are happening like for example they don't know if the little boy is dead or not. They also don't even know if he's in the house. In the book Brian kept thinking that the little boy might be in the house but they just can't find him. I know this because in the article it says "'This place us safe, Brian,' Philip says, pulling the bottle of Scotch down. 'Safe?' Brian Blake stares at the tabletop. He lets out a cough and cringes."

"The Walking Dead The Rise Of The Governor"

So far this book is about the beginning of how the dead are turning into zombies. The character in the book so far are Philip, Penny, Brian, Nick, and Bobby. Penny is Philip's daughter and Brian is Philips older brother. Nick and Bobby are collage friends of Philips and they got together once the dead were turning. They all find a house with enough food to last a while but the only disadvantage is that they are near a gold course with a bunch of zombies. They clear out the house with any zombies and they find out they got every person from the family that lived there except a little boy. They start worrying about this little boy because he might be in the house still. So they searched the entire house and they found nothing.

The conflict in this story so far is the obviously that the dead are turning into zombies. The other conflict is that Brian is paranoid about the little boy in the picture. I know that Brian is paranoid because in the book it says "I'm telling you, we got 'em all, "Phillip says" Phillip keeps telling Brian this because he still thinks that the little boy might be there hiding. They still haven't found the corps of the little boy so Brian think he's somewhere in the house. This is a huge conflict because Brian is worried about Penny because she is in the house and the little boy hasn't appeared.

Goal Blog

My academic goal is to try to get all A's this quarter. I been getting A and B's so I want to push my self the get all A's. I will get help on any assignment if I need help. I will also ask a teacher to check my work if I did something wrong so I can fix it. I will definitely turn in projects on time and not procrastinate on any homework.

Mt personal goal is to work on my attitude with my parents. Every time we discuss something I usually cut them off and get really mad. I later feel bad for yelling at them and I want to control my anger. I will try thinking before I talk to my parents. I will also try to calm down by breathing in and out when I start getting. If I do get mad I will try the best I can not to talk back or yell at them because I know I will feel bad later.

"White Fang"

The book "White Fang' is an interesting book that involves this wolf who got tamed. The cub was named White Fang for his fangs. He has been sold from his original owner to a different owner. His new owner was Beauty Smith and he got him for bottles of whisky. Beauty Smith made White Fang participate in dog fights. Every dog he fought he would either kill or was close to kill until he fought a bulldog named Cherokee. They split them up just in time before White Fang died.

In the book “White Fang” there was a Contrast and Contradiction. White Fang was always with his mother as a cub until she left. White Fang stayed with his owner once his mother left back into the wild. When his owner couldn't find any food they started killing animals for food so White Fang and the rest of the dogs ran away. While White Fang ran away he saw his mother and went up to her but she just backed away and hit him. His mother probably did this because she might not remember him because she left him when he was a cub. He later saw her again but this time instead of going up to her again he just left. This is different because as a cub he would always be by her and help her but this time he just left without trying to be with her. This tells us that he might be able to let go of people in his life that were important to him. Since his mother always raised him and protected him from the other mean dogs he was really attached to her. He was upset a little when she left but he was some what okay with it because he was with his new owner.

"The Devil's Arithmetic"

So far in the book "The Devil's Arithmetic" Hannah was enjoying her time with her family during one of her Jewish celebrations. In one of the traditions they have she has to open the door to Elijah. When she does she is brought back through time to live the life of her ancestor, Chaya, who she is named after. She experiences how terrible the conditions were in the Holocaust and how the concentration camps were. Right before Chaya was about to die she ends up back to her normal time in front of the door like how she was when she first time traveled.

One conflict in the book was when she time traveled to Poland. This conflict is self verse time. She doesn’t know what is happening and why it is happening. She’s not sure who the people are and what is going on. The next she’s fine with what’s going on, but she thinks she can’t lose her memory of her real self. Sadly, when she gets to the camp she forgets about her life, but remembers the facts of the Holocaust. Another conflict in the book is when one of the soldiers thinks the girls weren't working. This conflict is man verse man. He picked 3 out of the four girls Hannah was with. He picks every girl except for Hannah luckily, but unfortunately Rivka gets picked as one of the "chosen ones." While the three girls are leaving, Hannah goes up to Rivka and takes her ribbon. She puts it on herself and tells Rivka to run for her life. That means Hannah has to die in the concentration camp, but a second before she dies, she ends up back at home.

"White Fang"

I am reading this amazing book called "White Fang". So far "White Fang" is about how this she-wolf who kept killing Henry's dogs. Unfortunately only 2 of Henry's dogs survived out of 6. Later the she-wolf had a cub with old One-Eye. Old One-Eye later got killed by the lynx sadly. After old One-Eye died the she-wolf couldn't find any food besides the lynx's kitten. She killed the lynx's kitten so she can feed her cub and herself. The lynx was furious with the she-wolf so she went and attacked her. The she-wolf knew if she lost this fight her cub would end up dead, so she fought with all her might and won. That night they went to bed not starving.

Old One-Eye, the grey leader, and the young wolf were fighting over the she-wolf. Old One-Eye and the grey leader decided to team up and kill the young wolf. Later old One-Eye was left to fight the grey leader and he won the fight. The grey leader and the young wolf ended up dying and old One-Eye ended up with the she-wolf. Later when the lynx attacked the cub would have died if his mom didn't win the fight. If his mom lost he would have ended up dead like grey leader and young wolf. The fight with the lynx isn't the major climax in my opinion because it didn't really do that much damage because the lynx's didn't kill the she-wolf or her cub. I haven't got that far in the book to know the falling action unfortunately. I really like the book so far because it is really interesting. Its interesting because it has a lot of action between the wolves and its suspenseful because you never know if the cub is going to die or not. I think that maybe the cub will grow up with his mother because if the mother could win a fight with the lynx's then that proves she can protect her cub.

Holocaust

People who actually stood up for the Jewish were really brave because most people wouldn't do that. Most of the bystanders didn't step up because they're putting themselves and their family's at risk. Personally I wouldn't stand up because I would be putting my family in danger because the Nazi army was stronger than me. People would join the Nazi army only because they knew they wouldn't be killed because if they tried to protest they would most likely be dead.
