    Jenny Pox By J. L. Bryan

    The book I read this quarter is called Jenny Pox by J.L. Bryan. It’s a self published book I got for free on my kindle, and it’s 309 pages long. Jenny Pox is classified as horror in the kindle store, but the blurb didn’t seem to scary or graphic. It told me Jenny Pox was about a teenage girl named Jenny who couldn’t touch anyone without making them sick with a disease/infection nicknamed “Jenny Pox”. At the time, I was going on a sort of shopping spree for free books, so I bought it along with about eight other self published books.…

    Roll of Thunder Heat My Cry Study Answers

    A. I think Mr. Morrison gets attached to the Logan family because of his role as a body guard for the family. He appreciates the kindness that he is offered and went through memorable moments with the family, such as the story he told about the night men murdering his sisters and parents. Story telling amongst African-Americans is a tradition, but this is still regarded as a personal moment, even though he is brought in by Cassie's father to protect the family because of racial conflict. He is a big strong man, who works as a protector instead of an instigator; therefore the family feels safer with his presence. His attachment is probably due to the connection he has with family and the past of his actual family's death. Perhaps he looks at himself as not the actual member but an important part of the Logan Family's life, which creates a mutual respect and friendship between the two. He was also honest from their first encounter, which is a good sign coming from a stranger. He already explains to the mother he was fired for fighting, but further details explain he was fired because the man he was fighting with was white. The mother doesn’t hold it against him.…

    A Sound of Thunder Paragraph

    The consequences of time travel cannot be matched in terms of unpredictability because any tiny alterations to the distant past can change the outcome of the ensuing events of the future. In the futuristic tale, “A Sound of Thunder,” by Ray Bradbury, the standard way of life in the present time is subtly altered when an ambitious hunter named Eckels travels back in time to hunt a prehistoric animal. When Eckels is confronted by the frightening Tyrannosaurus rex, he panics and ignores the rules of the guide, falling off the established path. In the heat of the moment, he accidentally steps on a butterfly causing a chain reaction that creates various realignments of society in the contemporary era. Firstly, the essence of society is transformed from good to evil. Before departure, the man behind the desk was against the beliefs of Deutscher and was supportive of Keith. On his return, Eckels notices a slight difference in the demeanor of the man behind the desk; he is now firmly supportive of Deutscher and considers Keith a weakling. He laughs and says, “You joking? You know very well. Deutscher, of course! Who else? Not that fool weakling Keith. We got an iron man now, a man with guts!” This quote infers that society has drastically changed from the time Eckels departed for the safari to his return on the following day. Second of all, Lesperance does a reconnaissance to select certain targets for the hunters, his mandate being to identify animals that were going to die on the particular day of the hunt anyways. “I track them through their entire existence, noting which of them lives longest… When I find one that’s going to die when a tree falls on him, or one that drowns in a tar pit, I note the exact hour, minute, and second. I shoot a paint bomb… This way, we kill only animals with no future, that are never going to mate again.” This illustrates how conscientious the company is about the effects of time travel and altering the…

    The Son of Neptune

    In this book I think my favorite character is Hazel. Without her I bet their quest wouldn’t succeed. She helped Percy and Frank keep their heads high when they were down with encouraging words and glances. She also is very mysterious with all of her dark secrets deep down inside. I find all the characters in this book realistic. At times they are regular teenagers with problems of a regular mortal teenager and then they are regular teenagers with weapons and powers fighting monsters. This book is not very straight…

    Falling Angels (chapter journal)

    The characters that caught my attention are the three daughters because they all have different personalities and they make the story more interesting to read. I did not understand fully why they are acting the way they are because it is just the first chapter and there is not a lot that is happening yet. Sandy, is the one that I am more interested in because of the line, “…that the better you look, the better people treat you. ““Beauty is only skin deep,” she tells herself defensively.” (pg. 3). I agree with her when she said that because…

    Blood And Thunder Book Report

    Perhaps the most striking part of Blood and Thunder is the famed and fabled Kit Carson himself. He begins the book as a duty-driven youth who is able to kill anyone or anything without a sense of remorse, likely because of his experiences with the harshness of life as a child. However, once he begins to have a family—a real family, one he raises and takes care of and looks after—he begins to shift. Carson begins to balk at some killings, even going so far as to decry the killing of indian warriors at Carleton’s order.…
