Topic and Main Idea

The topic is the terrorist attacks in Paris and Kenya

The main idea for heading one is that the article spread over 7 months later after the attacks and their was no sadness or support like we gave to Paris.

The main idea for head two is that people choose what to mention in the media or news. Some people think that it's racism.

The main idea for heading three is that people may not feel so familiar with Kenya and Beirut because Paris is a common place for Americans to visit and shoot movie scenes in that place.

The main idea for head four is that we should not ignore other places, and we should treat them equally.

Author's POV + Purpose

The author's POV is that he thinks that it isn't fair how we paid more attention to Paris than Kenya.
"For example, the city of Beirut, Lebanon, was attacked the day before Paris was attacked. It was hit by the same violant group, Islamic State. Also known as ISIS, the group wants to start its own country under Islamic Law and has taken over parts of Syria and Iraq. Hardly anyone mentioned the Beirut attack on Facebook or Twitter." Another example is "The problem is complicated. It certainly has something to do with which stories are covered by the news."

I agree with the author, because I also don't think it's fair how the news gets to choose Paris over Kenya, everybody should be treated equally whether we know who they are or not.

The author's purpose is that he is trying to inform us about how we didn't treat both attacks equally.
"It does not matter that we do not have vacation photos taken in Keny or Beirut. We do not get to ignore the horrible killings in those places."

Author's POV

What responsibilities do people have to animals?
To pets people have to care for them, feed them and walk them daily.
For wild animals like endangered species people have to stop killing them.

What is the authors point of view?
The Author of the " Ending 'Shamu' stunts isn't enough to protect whales, activists say" article thinks that SeaWorld is trying to expand the whales tank and make everything better but that won't help the whales and need to go further. One example is "SeaWorld earlier this year announced that it will spend $100 million to expand the killer whale tanks in San Diego. Another example is "SeaWorld head Joel Manby said the park will offer a different kind of orca experience, starting in 2017. It will focus on whales' natural environment and how they behave in the wild. The last example is "Representative Adam Schiff of California plans to introduce a law to end breeding orcas in captivity. He said ending the shows is a good first step but doesn't go far enough".

What is the authors point of view?
The Author of the "Endangered whale may be safer in an aquarium" thinks that the whales are safer in the tanks at SeaWorld than outside because they are endangered and are safe from prey. An example is "Yes whales are kept in captivity, but their are many reasons why they are and how it's safer here than outside."

Exciting Moment

            In my book Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Pual Curtis, Bud goes on a long trip to find who he thinks is his "dad" named Herman E. Calloway because his mother died and he lived in a Home. When Bud finds Calloway, Calloway doesn't accept that he is the father. Until a conversation starts a few days later. Bud finally says what his mom's name is. Calloway remembers he has a daughter with the exact name. Calloway goes upstairs and starts crying. I think what will happen next is that Bud will find out that Calloway is his grandfather and Calloway will adopt him be a Bud has reasoning behind all of this.

Sensory Language

-When Mr. Jimmy asked Bud to describe his mom Bud said "She was tall and had a rose and vanilla smell."

That makes the story more interesting because you can imagine what roses and vanilla smells like but if they combine you get a real good smell.

- "I could smell the smoke as it filled my nostrils."

The sensory language can give me the smell of the smoke coming from a fire.

- "As I aproached the city it was bright, I could hear the noise cars."

That make the story mor interesting because I can a imagine a busy city in my head.

Setting and Conflict

                Bud from my book 'Bud, Not Buddy' he is meeting his dad for the first time in a log cafe. Where Bud's dad and his band are playing. The setting affects him because Bud learns about his dad and his dad denies the fact that he is his son. But after they play his dad invites him to dinner and he learns more about his dad.


                 The conflict affects Bud a lot because a man named Lewis found him walking to a city named Grand Rapids alone at 2am because in the last home where a family adopted Bud, Bud didn't like it. So Lewis he takes him to his house in his truck but when he wakes up he finds himself in Lewis's house. Lewis's daughter makes breakfast and feeds Bud. While eating breakfast Bud told lies and said that they should just leave him alone but Lewis did not agree so he took him to the log cafe. Lewis says that he will talk to his dad but Bid doesn't want him too. The conflict affected Bud by making go through a long dangerous journey to find him.

5 Senses

              My character Bud from my book Bud, not Buddy is a 10 year old boy who runs away from his parents that adopted him. He probably smells bad becaus he has been homeless for a couple of days. His choice of words are contraction words and words that replace bad words for example; Doggone, you'd've, you'da, ect. Bud is an African American boy with ripped and baggy clothes.

Protagonist and Antagonist

In my book Bud, Not Buddy the antagonist is a boy named Todd. Bud was adopted. But their lived a boy named Todd that is 12 years old, 2 years older than Bud. Todd beat Bud up in the middle of the night because he was jealous of Bud. On page 10 it says "I fell on the floor and pulled my knees up to my chest and crossed my arms in front of my head like a turtle in a shell. I started scorching toward the bed hoping I could get under it. Todd started kicking me with his slippers it they couldn't hurt as much as his fists did." That shows me that Todd is the antagonist and is trying to hurt Bud because he doesn't like him.

Story Elements

               In my book "The Book Thief" my characters are The Soul Collector, The Book Thief/Liesel, and her Dead Brother Warner. But the main character is The Soul Collector he goes around and collects dead people's souls after they die. The soul collector went to collect Warners soul on a train. Nobody can see him because he is invisible and is like a ghost. The setting in my current part of my book is on a block called Himmel and that's where Leisel is being taken to a foster house.
