reeding response for: City of Bones     theme                                                               blog post #3

   City of Bones by Cassandra Clare is about a young teenager named Clarisa Fray. clary has a normal life living with her mother until one night at the pandimonium, clary notices alittle something unusual. she makes friends with two demon slayers. she finds out that she is half demon slayer. clary is angry that her mother has never told her anything about this. i would be angry if a huge secret like that got kept from me for such a long time. soon she finds out that her mother has been taken by evil valentine who wants to tke all demon slayer power. clary has to go on an edventure to return the mortal cup to where it belongs before valentine gets his hands on it. I think the theme of the book is that you should beleive in who you are because everyone is unique and different.

     i chose this theme because in the beginning of the book, Clary is very confused about her new life knowing that she is only half human. she starts to ask herself, was my whole life a lie? why would my mother keep something like this from me? what am i going to do whe i see my mother again? clary gets angry about not having a normal life a doesn't apreciate how amazing it is to be a demon slayer. soon throught the book clary becomes closer to the other unmortal teenagers at the instiute she is stayig with and clary start too uderstand how interesting it is to be unmortal.

   my opion on this book is that being different is a good thing and clary is different questions and thoughts maybe circleing clarys brain, but clary needs to forgive and not forget but be mature and understanding of the situation because her mother was just keeping the secret to protect her from being in a world of dangerous problems. i'm sure that a huge secret that her mother kept is clogging her brain with  my opinion on the how clarys mother kept such a big lie from her is that i would be angry and upset because finding out something like that is like finding out that you have a twin or a sister you have never heard about which is upsetting and alittle exciting.
 
  i also enjoyed reading this book and would read it again because it is full of problems that stop and make me thik about putting myself in their shoes. for example, clary finds out that her mother has been taken by a very dangerous and powerful sourcerer, that can kill when he wants to take when he wants to take. i like reading fantasy books because its interesting to read about unmortal characters and how that deal with mortal humans and dangerous anemies.

                                             Reading Responce For a Long Walk to Water   

     Over the summer i read three books but my favorite book was a long walk to water by Linda Sue Park.it is about a young boy named salva and a young girl named nya. But thier are two sides of this story. Nyas side is about her long walk to water. The walk takes almost a day and nya has to do that  for seven months all year. Salva gets caught in a war and gets seperated from his family and doesnt know if they or dead or alive. Salva must traval with random stangers for safety and salva never knows what will happen next.

     After reading this book i think that my favorite character is salva. Salva is brave and very mature for the age of twelve. I think that salva took his whole situation well. I would not because if i was separated from my family i would be angry and sad. My favorite seen was when salva gets on a plane to go to new york and he is so excited.

     I really enjoyed reading this book and i enyoed writing a responce on it. I would read it again if we had to read a book in this genre.
