In my book Ren feels like he has no chance of being adopted.  Like it says here " the man tried not to stare but glanced in horror. " This quote is talking about when the farmer saw that Ren's arm was not there. Ren knows that the odds are very slim.  If he doesn't get adopted before he turns 18, he will be sent into the army.

I feel like this situation may be common for a lot of kids all around the world.  They may not have any problems,  but they might feel like there Is no way they will ever get adopted.  I still predict though, that Ren will either escape the home or he will get adopted by a thief.  Hence the name The Good Thief.

post#2: The good thief

Overview: This is a book about a kid named Ren. He lives in America in an orphanage.  He was dropped off as a child and doesn't remember her at all. The setting is back near the American revolution. There is only one problem. He only has one full arm, he only has half of the other.With only one arm it is very hard to find people to adopt him because most of the people want kids who can work on the farm, which is very difficult for Ren.

I predict that Ren will be adopted sometime in this book be a thief. Hence the title The Good Thief. Ren has already shown that he could be a good thief because it says in the book that he sometimes takes small things throughout the orphanage. Food, small supplies, you name it. Although these things are very small, he has never been caught.

blog post #1 Characterization

Guy, Montag
 Just a normal firemen for 10 years. Though these firemen are burning books instead of saving people from fires. Guy is just like every other fireman, loves fire, loves burning, and books mean nothing to him. He is married to his wife, Mildred. They live a fairly normal life. But when the story develops more and more, Guy starts to question why books are being burned. He has noticed how mindless everyone is and how carefree they are. I think the most important quote he said is, "does it have a happy ending." he really starts wondering about happiness and if he is happy after clarisse asks him if he is happy. As he is wondering that, he starts realizing how unhappy HE is. Eventually he starts stashing books away and then reading them to find out why they are so important to burn.


This is how guy is imagined on the cover of Fahrenheit 451/ He looks very serious and a little burnt from the flames on his cheeks.Although he looks very serious, he is just like every man. Clarisse says, "so many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean. But you're just a man after all... In this quote Clarisse is stating how normal he is and that he is no different from everyone else.

Review post

Blog

In this blog I underline and state the name of the book multiple times. Along with that, I make a prediction in the blog too. Later in the prediction on what is going to happen next.  I then analyze the difference with Celaena from book one to book two. Later I do multiple connections from the book to world, and text to text.

 

For next trimester, my goal is to read 2 books that tri. Along with that I need to blog each week with the book I’m reading. I also need to start writing a lot more. That is probably my biggest weakness. To improve my reading I can start reading on more of a day to day basis, to get into habit. For writing, I should try to write a lot more things, and review over them to make sure they are correct and make sense.

Theme

The theme in this story-Without friends, many obstacles in life can be very difficult.

Extra

This is a hyperlink to the next book in the series. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17928186-untitled

I believe that the 3rd book in the series comes out sometime in 2014.
At the very top is a picture of Sarah J. Maas, the author of the Throne of Glass series.

Summary

Throughout this book, Celaena has had lots of obstacles to overcome. Many were because she was the King's Assassin, but for a few, they were because of castle mysteries. She had to encounter many hardships throughout and even though there were many problems, her friends stayed with her. At the end she saves her friend's life. In return, he negotiates a deal that even though he doesn't favor it, it helps Caleana get out a lot of trouble.
