She thinks about quitting, but she doesnt. she realizes not to care what the others think and keeps coming to class and being smart. The kids in her class come to appreciate her and include her in their groups once Melony chooses to be herself and not have self pitty, they espect her.

David and Goliath (Theme summary)

These past couple weeks I have studied the story of David and Goliath, from the bible. For those of you who don't know the story I will give you a brief summary. Goliath was a big scary giant who every one was scared to go against in a fight because of his enormosy. He was known as too strong for even the strongest soldier in Israel. One day a young boy named David was courageous and decided to go against this "huge giant". Every one laughed at him and thought David...vs Goliath? Impossible, but David was courageous and he believed that anything was possible with God on his side. So when the time came for the two competitors to fight David defeated Goliath before Goliath even had a chance to attack because he took a slingshot and shot him with a rock. The giant fell instantly on the ground. To make sure he had really defeated him for good David took his sword and sliced his head off.  That's what happens when one has faith in the mysterious heavenly father and faces ones fears, even though they seem ginormous (hahhah get it..? GI [giant] Normas) one can overcome with the Lord standing over you, guiding you.

La Fuerza de Sheccid (Theme summary)

I have learned a lot of real life lessons from this book I have been reading. In one part of the story Carlos gets in trouble by his dad because he disobeyed him and rode his bike way to late at night and almost got hit by a car. Then his little brother told their father not to scold his older sibling because while he was there tumbling  off his bike, he witnessed a car crash. Had he not been there to help the victim he/she could have died. But since Carlos was there, he was able to call the hospital for help and the person survived. The lesson was that sometimes God makes things happen for a reason and that lesson is very true, coming from the wisdom of an innocent child in this true story. God uses all things bad as opportunities to make good things happen.

November Blues - READING SKILLS

In my book November Blues, I find that I have a lot in common with the characters. In one chapter when Jericho joins the football team and is not sure if he made the right decision, I can relate that to how I felt with Cross Country. I can alsorelate to him when he says he's feeling really jumbled up inside  and frustrated. When he discribes how exhausted he feels after a practice or how tired he is after sitting in another boring class in Highschool I can relate because I also know how strenous and arduos sports [cross country], and school can be.  I can also relate because he was thinking about applying to a performing arts university Juilliard, and I also did a presentation on Juilliard and I thought about going there too. This was a text to self connection because I know how Jericho feels. All these teen troubles are very relatable and thats what makes it such a fantastic book.

Characters

A book I'm reading right now is called La Fuerza de Sheccid. It's in spanish and the main character's name is Carlos. Carlos is a very round character. Whenever he makes a disicion he usually analyzes it and out ways the pros and the cons and whenever he gets stuck his mom is there to help him. But the one time he throws caution to the wind and doesn't trust his instincts, he gets in a huuuuuge conundrum. This problem also gets in the way of Carlos getting his princess Justina "Sheccid" his nickname for her,  and he has difficulty getting her affection. His feelings get very confused throughout the book. He tries to be caring, understanding, valient, and thoughtful of others so he can be the best person he can and have alot to offer to win over his princess.
He takes big risks and learns how to be courageous and stick up for what he knows is right. Sofar he has changed from cowardly tocourageous by standing up infront of everyone and giving a speech and also sticking up for himself when the cool kids pick on him. I will have to read more to find out about him. Carlos even gets thrown out of the car at one point by choosing not to be obnoxious like his other "friends" His different emotions and reactions throughout the story make him a very round character.
