Fallen book talk

I am reading Fallen by Lauren Kate. This book takes place in now modern times. It is too hard for me to know exactly when it takes place. It takes place in a reform school called Sword & Cross reform school in Geogria. Life here is alright except your always being watched. The protagonist is Luce. She has been accused of killing a man by setting a fire but she too was caught in it without any serious injuries. When she arrives she falls for a guy named Daniel. The antagonist is Cam. Luce had no idea that everything that went wrong at Sword & Cross was Cam’s fault. The author led me into the story made me think it was a strange vampire book. It’s not a vampire book. Luce felt as if she knew Daniel somewhere from before. As it turns out Daniel and Cam want Luce for themselves. The lesson I have learned from this book is nothing is a coincidence. My hook for you is to see if you can figure out the mystery.

Trail Of Tears

In 1830 the United States congress passed the “Indian Removal Act.” Many people had not liked the act. The Tennessee congressman Davy Crocket passed the act anyway. The current President Andrew Jackson had also quickly signed the bill into law. My Cherokee ancestors had tried to fight the removal laws legally by challenging it in the Supreme Court. The Cherokee went through hardship after hardship after hardship while being removed from their homelands. Many lost their will to live or died of illnesses. Others either died of the effect of the weather or of starvation.

Chains
By: Laurie Halse Anderson
This book takes place in two places in the beginning it took place in Rhode Island and present day Boston, New York. The time line is from Monday, May 27, 1776 to Sunday, January 19, 1777. Life in this world was horriably hard for slaves. The protagonist is Isabel (now known as) Gardner. The story is about Isabel. Isabel has become stronger, smarter,and mor courage. The antagonist is Mrs. Lockton. Mrs. Lockton is the antagonist because her husband drives her near insane.The author lead me into the story by using my intrest of books to lure me in. Isabel and Ruth were thinking they were free but they were still sold into slavery. Isabel tried to do her new owner harm when she told Isabel that she sold her sister.Because Mrs.Lockton made the mistake of telling Isabel that Ruth was not sold Isabel had ran away from the Locktons. On the run Isabel will need all the help she can get to escape. My lesson that I have learned from this book is stand up face forward hestitate you die and retreat and you'll live in regret. My hook is for you to see if Isabel can save her sister and herself.

I collect

What I collect is broken jewelry. I turn them into other pieces of jewelry. I have a hard time doing so because I have to find metals that fit. I also have to come up with a way to make them look better. Now I’ll tell you what my greatest work looked like. It was a silver cross from my sister’s charm necklace. I turned it into a necklace for what is now my ex- girlfriend. I have one last charm left and I want to give it my best friend and greatest crush. I might be going to my prom with her. I have to make this the best one I have ever done. I hope I don’t lose it, I hope she’ll like it. This is what I collect and why.
