I pridect that Junior is going to get into a fight with another tribe of natives. I predict this because his friend Rowdy broke windows of mini vans and smashed a dent into the side of the car aswell as breaking off the side rearveiw merrior. "Glass broke every were. Rowdy grabed a shovle that somebody had been useing to dig barbecue holes and went after that van . Just beat the crap out of it" (Alexie 21).

I can connect to the main character in “Bad Girls Don’t Die” Alexis. Alexis is a girl that stands out but is different and not very liked. I am the same way I don’t let people push me around or let people talk down on me or my friends and family without a fight. Alexis’s little sister, Kasey, is friends with, Pepper’s little sitter. Pepper started to pick on Kasey and blaming her she broke her sister’s arm when she slipped and fell breaking it when she fell, which Alexis mad. Making her stand up for her little 13 year old sister. This is like when a kid started to pick on my little brother for wearing a shirt that was purple. I was standing right next to him as he started to cry I started to yell standing up for him. I may not like him very much but he’s my little brother and no one can hurt his feelings. Alexis is the same way about her little sister. “‘Your sister broke my sister’s arm,’ Pepper said. ‘Oh, please.’ ‘Mimi told me the whole story’” (Alender 22).

In this book, I am going to predict that Bethony will make friends with Molly, a human she meet when she went to school for the mission she has to do along with her sister Ivy and her brother Gabebriel. All three of them are angels sent from heavan.I predict that Bethony will get close to Molly as a friend because Bethony is the most human evan though she` s a angel. The reason I say this because Bethony is more prone to break down to be with other human beings. Her brother and sister have less feelings.

I think this book sounds somewhat like a love story but I’d love to read it when i'm done with "Big Girls Don't Die" and see what it's about. It seems interesting and good.

Why does presidant snow want to exacute Katniss' family? Did her family do something that is frowned upon?
Joseph S
He wants to becuse she almost did suicide at the same time as Peeta so he stoped them and he declared them both winners when there can only be one winner, so basically she denied the Capital of Panem where she lived.

I read the whole series of the Hunger Games and I liked the books a lot. I couldn't stop reading them. Do you feel the same way about the books and did you like the first book?

Hinton, S.E.. The Outsiders. New York: The Viking Press, 1996. print.
I predict that later in this book this book the boy will get in alot of trouble with other people and wll be shuned. He will be shunned because he he does something bad. I think he do something bad because all the teens in books do something to get in trouble or help someone get in trouble. (when i steped out into the sunlight from the darkness of the movie theater i had two things on my mind).(Hinton 1) i think this because normaly teens go to the movie theaters alone.

Landon, Kristen, The Limit, Scholastic INC, Copyright 2010, New York. Print.
I can connect to this book because the kid Mathew is very smart in math and a very good athlete. (Page 1 Landon) “Yeah baby who’s the free throw King” he is also snobby because he thinks he can do anything. Mathew is also a hacker witch means that he can get on to any site on the internet with no problems. But Mat is a big spender and forgets about the limit and if he goes over the limit he gets pulled away from home and stuck into warehouses. These warehouses are so that the family can get under there dept.

I predict the the main character, Evie, and the strange shap shifting boy, Lend, will soon fall in love. They have both showed signs of interest but nothing is official yet. I also predict that they will get to the bottom of the type of paranormal they both are since they are both "unknown species" at the moment. I think that Lend will help get Evie get out of the IPCA (International Paranormal Containment Agency) once he is released from being help captive. Lend says "I want to get You out of here. You deserve normal things, like a locker." (White 155).

I think that the that General Sarov will either get all or almost all of the grade uranium (a bomb, so he can blow up the whole world.The people who sent him the bomb had made him pay more money for the bomb, he made them crash and get stuck in a swamp(by redeirecting the lights on the run way). The people he trapped on the sinking Cessna Skyhawk (like a airplane)will probabaly find a way to get out. They will stop him before he blows up the world. And Alex will get caught spying around the Wimbledon, pretending to be a tennis ball boy)."' He led us into the mangroves'...Swamp water was even now pouring in as they slowly sank beneath the surface"(Horowitz12).

I think that so far you're prediction seems true. Your quotes are making sense with you're prediction. So I think when you're done reading the book you wil be correct with you're prediction.

I predict that in the story Stephen and his father will go in to the plane."I drew the scope down along the length of the plane marveling at its size until i came to the tail where i could make out a big white star." I also predict that they will find food in the plane or something very usefull because they are trapped in the wilderness.

Lin, Grace. Where The Mountain Meets The Moon. New York: Little Brown And Company, 2009. Print.
I predict that Minli the daughter of some peasants she calls them ma and ba. Minli’s father ba tells her stories all the time of how the fruitless mountain became that, a bare mountain. In their village everything is dull with mud and everybody work hard all day. Minli’s personality is anything but dull she is full of excitement. I think that she will go searching for the man on the moon to ask him how to make their village wealthy. I think this because on page 28 Minli’s goldfish starts talking to Minli about how she went to the Never Ending Mountain. I believe the fish will tell Minli how to get to the mountain to save her village.

That book sounds interesting, how is it so far? I think the people in the plane will survive as well. It seems like that book is suspenseful, I love to read books like that. I also saw you reading the hunger game book I wanted to know if that was also a good book.
