My Readers speak

                 A love story that will end in a tragedy but both lovers don’t know it, yet. There are two young people who haven’t met, which it can be reasonable because their parents don’t like each other. They families have had a rivalry with each other for a few years now. It all started with a competition that would give them a title; that made them important from everyone else. One family had the last name Montgomery and the other family had the last name Hale. Both families entered the competition against others, but they didn’t have a rivalry until one took a point from the other. One family said they won, and the other said they didn’t win the point. So, the Montgomery family had won. That was where the girl came from. Her name was Marie Montgomery and they boy was named Jacob Hale. After, the competition has been going on since. Marie had a friend named Edward Hastings. Marie had been friends with Edward for a long time now, Edward had felt something for Marie, but he di

HERE'S WHAT I LEARNED TODAY

What I learned today was how to understand the author of a book. From their perspective. The book I have been reading has had an impact on me. It talked about how some people struggle with their parents or friends . It's hard knowing some people go through worse than others who have it all easy. 

Literature Analysis

The book I have been reading is the . The plot of this story is that a boy named Ben is having a difficult time with his family growing up. He has had many problems with his step dad and mother. He has his aunt who helps him out but she has left them to go with her father and it was in a different state.

What drew me to this book was

BIG QUESTIONS

A question I have is why do people sneeze when they smell dirt ?

"WRITING ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH "

The katha Upanishad qualifies as an allegory because it has death as a character but it's not really a character just a metaphor, explaining what death may be.  For example, when Yama is talking to Nachiketa he asks him if he would still exist after death. Then Nachiketa doesn't want to tell him because it was a secret . He kept on insisting to know the truth about death . When death appears as a character to explain what happens, it's like a metaphor because it's not really there and no one knows what will happen after death. When our mother gives birth to us she is sentencing us to death. Which is why Yama insisted on wanting to know what will happen after death  .   The other reason it qualifies as an allegory is how Nachiketa symbolizes what's best about being a teenager. He doesn't tell Yama the secret if they exist after death or not. He does tell Yama to wish for anything else . For example, he says " You can have all the girls, money or anything el
