                                                                Final Farewell
                                                 It was a normal day or so I thought
                                     
                                  That I would lose one of the people I love so dear

                           I was told that  my father passed away I couldn't take the pain
                       
                    I cried all day long until I had to leave to see my father one more time...

                    Many family members came to my father's funeral to pay their respects

                                        So many of us cried on that depressive day

                              They put his coffin within the hole under his tombstone

                                      This was the most horrible tragedy of my life 

                            I couldn't stop crying over the fact that my father passed away

                             Before leaving to go back home I said my final words to him:

"Dad wherever you are I hope you are alright. I'll miss you forever and I wish the best of luck   
where ever you are right now. I love you daddy."

    Once that day ended I had a dream of where there was a long road with a light at the end

                            There was a man at the end of the road in a white suit
          
  It was my father and he said: "Son I love you and I hope you live your life to the fullest."

                                    Carry on and don't mourn kid. I'll see you soon."

  Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about a young girl named Katniss along with other characters who are in a game that determines whether they live or die. Basically, the setting of this story takes place in Panem (apparently it is in North America after certain devastating situation.) There are 12 districts which are made up of the poor people of Panem. There was once 13 districts instead of 12 but since the 13th district was destroyed the rich people of Panem decide to make up an event called 'The Hunger Games'. The Hunger Games calls out kids from each district to fight to the death for the entertainment of others. Katniss meets a boy named Peeta in which they are taken to the Capitol and are taught on what to do during the Hunger Games. During the Hunger Games Katniss goes through some traumatic events which causes the emotion of the story to be sad and depressive. However, in the end Katniss is able to get through her problems, and along with Peeta, she wins the Hunger Games

  Some people say this book should be banned because it tells us about kids are fighting to kill each other in order to entertain those who want action. I do not think this book should be banned because it is a great book and teaches us about survival. Honestly in a few years this book would be considered a classic and is a great journey to read. It can sometimes get sad and relate to the audience.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a fantasy book which is set in 'the Shire' (A.K.A Middle-earth).
Before this book there was a book named 'The Lord of the Rings' which is the beginning of The Lord of the Rings series. Continuing from Lord of the Rings' story Boromir (a protagonist who is now wanting the Ring for himself) is fighting Frodo Baggins (the main protagonist throughout the story) in order to get the Ring but fails in his attempt to do so. Frodo then is able to get away from Boromir and is going to finish the quest all by himself. (Brave man) Sam (a companion of Frodo) says he wants to help Frodo along the way because it may be dangerous going alone when the is danger lurking around every path they take. Now we go onto The Tow Towers; Saruman (an evil wizard who is trying to steal the Ring because obviously he is evil) and Sauron (another antagonist) decide they want to kill Boromir by sending Orcs to go and kill him. They then decide to take Marry and Pippin. Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas (Protagonists) decide to rush to Merry and Pippins' safety and defeat the Orcs that are bringing them to Saruman and Sauron.

So far I know that Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are brave characters who would stop at nothing to help their friends. These characters are very brave because they know they can be outnumbered by Saruman and Sauron's Orc army of doom. They may also be killed during their adventure to help Merry and Pippin because beside the fact they can be outnumbered, they can also find many dangers throughout their journey. It can be very difficult but they will get to Merry and Pippin in time. If your friends were ever danger would you try your best to save them?

                    Diary Of a Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney
                                                                       Theme
  The theme of Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is about the tough times of our life and starting off new. So far in the book we can see Greg Heffley, the protagonist, is having trouble with his family and trouble at starting school on a good note. We can relate to Greg because sometimes we have arguments/fights with some of our family members because we are upset/irritated.

Greg's father, Frank, disapproves Greg's way of living because all Greg does is play video games. Some of us may also relate to this because sometimes our parents may dislike our hobby that we are very interested in. Greg tries to fit in with the popular people so that he won't look like a loser in front of the whole school.

Many of us in our lives have at least tried to fit in with people but probably were rejected and treated like an outcast. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is not only about it's comedy but somehow can make the protagonist relate to the audience. Yeah. Hi Ms.Galang.
