Book: The Scorch Trials
Author: James Dashner
Prompt: How have your feelings changed throughout the book? why do you think they changed
Prompt #2:What was the best part of the book and why?
My feeling in the beginning of the book were excited mostly for the reason that I knew that big things in the series were going to happen and also they were finally out of the maze. Then by the middle and end of the book I got kind of board and not wanting to read it anymore. I think that I felt this way because the same thing kept happening over and over again, all that was really happening was that they were running through the desert getting chased by cranks and getting struck by lightning a lot.
Another reason that I think that I got board and tired of the book by the end was because all of the guys kept getting trapped by the girls that were hiding in the trees even though there was only a little patch of trees which did not make a lot of sense so it was like you already knew that they were about to get ambushed.
I believe that the best part of the book The Scorch Trials was when Theresa tricked Thomas into following he into the cave because he thought that she was good and then the other boy was there and Thomas was thrown into a gas chamber to die. This was my favorite part of the book because it was a huge curveball that I am pretty sure that nobody noticed.

Book: Scorch Trials
Author: James Dashner
Prompt: What is the main characters objective in the book? And why is this?
Prompt #2: Where does this book take place? Why do you think they chose this?
The main character Thomas's objective in the book The Scorch Trails is to get across the scorch,
the scorch is like a dessert but before it was a dessert it was a city that had been burned down by heat and radiation from the sun and know there are wild creatures that used to be humans but got infected and are now cranks cranks are creatures and they are hungry for flesh. So that's what will make it really hard for Thomas to get across.
I think that this is the main characters goal in the book because he just wants to be free and away from wicked the creators of the virus and every thing that has happened to the world. Another reason that I think that this is the main objective is because Thomas wants to save Theresa because they have a bond mentally because they can talk to each other through their heads and he just wants it all to be over.
The place that the book The Scorch Trials takes place is in the hot desert. The reason that I think that they did this is because there is more room to make things happen like really big fights and then the characters wont get separated like they would have if they were in as jungle or a forest environment. Another reason I think they made the book happen in mostly a desert environment is because you are most likely to die there and they could kill some characters off that they did not want.

Book: The Hatchet
Author: Gary Paulsen
Prompt: What is the most important lesson in this book, and Why was this important?
Prompt #2: If you could trade places with the character would you, and why?
SPOILERS
One of the most important things that the book The Hatchet can teach some one after reading it is that keep trying. I think this because when Brian the main character gets stranded out in the middle of no were he tries to make fire and even though he cant make it the first time he keeps trying for a really long time and he finally was able to make it. This was really important for him because the fire that he made kept him alive and if he had not wanted to keep trying he probably would have died.
Another really important lesion that you can learn from the book the hatchet is that you should never give up hope, for instance after Brian crashed he did not get sad and depressed and thinking that help would never come. He just kept thinking that someone would find him and save him from the woods someday, and he never let go of hope he did luckily get rescued. This is important because then he would have been miserable and not wanting to go on any more.
If I could trade places with the main character I don't think that I would. I would not trade places with the main character because I don't think that I would be able to handle being all alone and not being able to talk to anybody. Another reason I would not trade spots with the main character is because I don't know what birds to hunt or how to clean them to eat.

Book: The hatchet
Author: Gary Paulsen
Prompt: If you Could ask the protagonist any question what would you ask him and why? What was the biggest challenge in your opinion that the Protagonist had to face, and why do you think this is his biggest challenge?
If I could ask the protagonist Brian any question I would ask him why he never searched the interior of the plane that had crashed when he got out of it and not just at the end of summer? The reason that I would ask him this would be because at the beginning of the summer when the plane crashed, he got out of the wreckage and he waited until the end of the summer when the rescue plane came. I thought that it was silly that he forgot about it for such a long time because it would have been really useful for him mostly for the fact that it had a gun and a lot of food to last him for at least a month.
The biggest challenge that I think that the main character Brien had to face was the acceptance that he was stuck and that he would probably not see any body again? This would be bad because he would have probably gotten depressed if he was not working so hard to build a shelter to make a fire. The reason that I thought that this was his biggest challenge was because it would be really scary to be all alone in the dark forest not knowing if you are going to live or not.
Another hard challenge that I think that he faced was making a fire. I think this because all he had was a hatchet and a rock and when you hit the hatchet at the rock you need to be really close to the tinder bundle or else the spark wont last long at all. Another reason that I think that this was one of the hardest challenges for him was because of the lack of energy in his body from running around and waiting after the plane crashed for so long without any food or water to replenish him because he was probably really tired.
