                In the book called “Hunger Games” By Suzanne Collins, it’s about how they have 12 districts of Panem, and chose 2 people from each district. In district 12 they chose a girl but her sister but her sister named Katniss Everdeen volunteer so she could protect her sister. Also televised the fights and deaths of the teenagers that participated in hunger games.

                The Hunger Games bird represents the hunger games and symbol of the rebellion. It also represents the mockingjay pin is a sign of rebellion to the capitol. Weather it means no harm. Also the Hunger Games salute represents the left hand to their lips and holds it up. It also means thanks, it means admiration, it also means good-bye to someone you love. This makes me realize that sometimes in life you need to stand up for your siblings and fight or defend your people, just like katniss did for her sister so she won’t have to enter in the games and for district 12.

             
               In this book the hunger games is about 12 districts competing with each other and this also means that katniss  defends her family and defend district 12. And this also shows that this affects the real world because the older person defends everybody from danger and defends them with their life.

                Have you ever wonder what you might do for your parents / adults or someone you really care about. Well authors make us realize how characters in each book might react to their parents, in this book it talks about how this girl named Ria is falling apart when she finds out that her dad has crashed into a plane crash, also her parents are divorce and she has to move in with her mom and trying to prevent from that happening.  In chapter 1 she is living a good time in town with her dad, boyfriend and a kid she barely talks too. In the beginning of chapter 5 it talks about how ria learns that her dad’s plane had mechanical problems, because they believe that he went down over to Lake Muskeg only to find out that the rescue team only found tiny bits of the plane, but there was no luck for ria or her father. This shows that any kid would do anything for their parents because it’s important to them that they don’t suffer dangerous danger or get anybody hurt. This connects to real life because there are a lot of crazy people outside and making danger and showing a bad model towards the little kids and when they grow up they start acting the same way they acted to other adults and hurt them.

         In the article called “Food Fight!” by Unknown author, it talks about it was a protest against Russia’s in Netherlands. It shows that these 1000 Dutch teens; they spent an hour last month pelting each other with 120,000 tomatoes. This shows that the Russians were mistaken for thinking they can boycott of fresh produce from Europe. This also shows that the Russian’s and the boycott are taking away overripe fruit and veggies. Although they made a protest to let the president f Russia to let them sale fruit and veggies, but also their were friends that were helping them out and throwing tomatoes at them. The author wants us to teach us that they want the people that don’t live in Russia and in Netherlands they want to joined them into their protest and win the protest.

        The author explains how in March, Europe and the U.S. imposed trade sanctions on Russia for annexing Crimea and supporting pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine. This shows that people didn’t not like how the president was running the country. This is why Russia supported Netherlands, Europe and the USA joined in together. This is why the author made a protest to let the people in Russia make them realize that everyone needs fruits and veggies.

        After reading this article it made me realize that I agree with the Dutch teens because they made a protest on how they could bring in people into their debate and how they could show that taking away the fruit and veggies that could make them healthy and without their veggies and fruits they will be eating junk food and make their body weak because they body need protein in their organism to help you to be strong. 

Darkness to visible

 The Article called "Darkness to visible" By Megan Cox Gurdon. In this article it talks about how young adult literature can be dark for teens. On page 1 paragraph 3 it talks about "How dark is contemporary fiction for teens? This means that teens are reading about kidnapping and pederasty, incest and brutal beatings. It also says that just part of the run of things in novels are directed, broadly speaking. That children from ages of 12-18 are reading these violent books that are still not for them.

The Author addresses that “Entertainment does not merely graffiti taste, after all, but it creates it. MCG supports her opinion that if you think it matters what’s inside a young person’s mind, surely it; is of consequences what he reads. Also this is old dialectic- purity vs. despoliation virtue vs. smut- but for families with teenagers, it is also everlasting new.

I agree with MCG because teens look for a book or video games and then they get it into their brains and then they act it just like in the movies and they put everybody in danger and get into more trouble. 

The Best Book Ever

Killing, Drinking, smoking and secrets is not the option of getting rid of troubles, talking to your best friends can show an option.

                                                    

The book Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver is about teens having problems with friends and parents. In the book it describes that characters overflow with their lives (which means they don't care about their lives and what they do.) Also it talks about the way they change and the way they all come back together as family, friends like it used to be. Trusting your best friends is a way to make feel better instead keeping it to yourself.

In the book Before I Fall, I think Lauren Oliver it's trying to teach us that teens always have problems because whenever there at school they always find problems. When you're in a place and you say something not very nice it could cause you consequences, because that other person may do something bad to you and you may end up in a hospital. But also when something happens to you or someone did something to you and you decide to keep it to yourself its gonna destroy you from the inside and from the outside, also your best friends can help you with your problem because they know how to make you feel better. Also the person that knows you better than anyone else could have brought you joy too your life, sometimes you need to learn that not in life is about you only, its also about other people that surrounds you too.

In the book Before I Fall I ,think Lauren Oliver it's trying to teach us that teens have problems with everybody like relationships like dating because when you're dating and friends get between dating sometimes the person have to decide in which to choose is either your friends or your relationship and that's hard to choose. When you're dating sometimes you don't realize that your friends are waiting for you, but you're paying more attention to your relationship than your friends that helped you when you needed it. This causes consequences because for the actions that you make towards your friends, also you might need someone to help you when you need it and it's always by your side. You might feel guilty, ashamed, lonely, ignored, and depressed, that you left your friends alone and sad when they needed you the most help.

In conclusion Lauren Oliver wrote this book to show that teens always have problems because whenever there at school they always find problems. Every single day kids come in to school and they bump into people and they say “excuse me” but the other kids say no your not excuse and they argue with you and then your friends stand up to them and defend you like no other friend would do that to you.

     The book I just finished reading is called "Rich Dad's Rich Kid Smart Kid” By Robert T. Kiyosaki is a really good book it’s about that this kid has two dad’s one Dad is rich and the another one is poor and it talks about that what’s good and what’s bad and also what to give a good financial and an academic head start life. This books  It also talks about that doing businesses at a young age is not bad because he teaches that is good saving up money so you could get what you want. It also explains that if you do your homework daily you get rich because it’s all about critical thinking and how well you do in school. Kids learn by playing like Robert loved to play Monopoly with his rich father because it’s teaching you how to own your properties and how to settle with real money. It’s also the same thing with cash flow it teaches you the same thing that but differently it tells you how to handle the properties.

I recommend that you should read this book it may help you to teach your kids how to start their financial head of start of their lives.
