The raft
This book is about a young girl who is about 15 years old named Robie.
She lives in Hawaii in midway. Robie goes to her aunts apartment in
Honolulu Hawaii. She explains how this is her "off time" from her
parents. She originally lives in Midway and it is suppose to be a
"lucky" area to live, I interrupt it as being wealthy. Robie hates it
because there is no Wi-Fi, internet and television and because she is on
an island its hard to communicate with her friends... we can all admit
that this would be hard for us these days right?
Robie soon finds out
that her aunt has some business to take care of and that she would have
to stay at the apartment all by herself. Robie finds no problem with
that, she would be more than happy to be alone until that night she goes
out to get Mcdonald's and when she is walking back on a busy street a
dirty man tries and tackles her, she manages to run and get away.
I can make a text-to-world connection to this book because there is
always one big plane crash a year and one happened not to long ago in
July with the Malaysia flight 370. That was a huge story and case that
was investigated. The tragedy happened over the Indian Ocean and in this
book the crash happened over the Pacific ocean and its about surviving
with no commutation food or anything of that sort. Overall I think this
book is going to be fantastic and a good read. It seems like a easy
read and its not that long of a book compared to some other books, it
only 231 pages.
I recommend you to read this book even though I'm not
finished with it but I can tell you already it's going to be a good one.

Water Walker - Text to World
Eden is hurt/confused with no way out. Water Walker by Ted Dekker has the tables turning when you least expect it. Zeke (someone living with them) broke Edens leg and locked her in a closet. Her mom is scared and didn't want any of this to happen. Eden, as she is sleeping meets the "Outlaw" a man who tells her she is a water walker, and she needs to have no fear. Confused on what happened in her dream and in real life, she realizes her leg was healed. All she needs to do is unlock her potential and end the plans of Zeke.
This reminds me of a time in history when a girl was kidnapped for years. She got tired of it and fought back from her kidnapper and was able to escape. This is similar to Water Walker because Eden and her mother overthrow Zeke and get the cops to find them. Also, this reminds me of the boy who claimed he saw heaven and came back. Eden does this in her dream and comes back to be able to walk on water.
I wish that Eden and her mother stay together after all of this trouble. I was surprised to see the Outlaw in her dream, and for her dream to be real. If I was Eden I would just walk out of the entire place due to all of the confusion.

Warriors: Midnight- Text to World
I am reading the book called Warriors Midnight by Erin Hunter. This book is mainly about a cat named Brambleclaw and five other cats. After receiving a prophecy from Starclan, they must journey to the Sun Drown place (Ocean) to speak to someone named Midnight. There were only four cats chosen one from each clan, Feathertail (Riverclan),Crowpaw (Windclan), Tawnypelt (Shadowclan), and Brambleclaw (Thunderclan). But some unexpected guests decide to tag along, Stormfur and Squirrelpaw. Now I would tell you about Midnight but that would spoil the book so, yeah not gonna tell you.
A way that Warriors: Midnight is connected to the world well the entire Warriors franchise reminds me of the Civil War. Why? Well it reminds me of the Civil War because they are all supposed to get along, but no they end up fighting each other at the wrong times. Starclan means for them to be on huge group but, they decide to leave and make groups of their own. Eventually they will be forced to unite as one and be a huge group. But hey i'm not the author so I will never know.
So this book blew my mind when I finished it. But I ain't gonna tell you what happens. Honestly, my favorite character so far is definitely either Purdy or Squirrelpaw. I like Purdy because he is old and has absolutely no clue what is going on. I also like Squirrelpaw because its Squirrelpaw, and she wishes to be a bird so yeah. This book isn't as violent as the other book, I mean this is the first book without a death on the very first page! So you should definitely read this book if you like sarcastic humor and adventure.

Text to World Connection- the raft
In my book, The Raft, a girl named Robie went to Honolulu to visit her Aunt Jillian, but then her aunt got a business call to go back to Midway Atoll. Robie begged AJ, aunt Jillian, to stay in Honolulu by herself. She finally got to stay. After a while, she booked a flight to go to Midway Atoll and her plane crashed! Now she has to survive with Max, the co-pilot, on a raft on the Pacific ocean.
This book reminds me of real world because planes crash and you have to hope to be saved and signal people. People have to survive on water because they either are stranded or maybe their plane crashed. This book also reminds me of the movie Sully because the plane crashes in water and people are trying to save them.
I began to think about how they crashed in the Pacific Ocean and how there are sharks. I think they might encounter some sharks and dehydration. I also wonder if they could survive these horrible conditions.

Ninth Ward
The book Ninth Ward is about a 12 year old girl named, Lanesha, she lives the Ninth Ward in New Orlens. She lives with her to her grandmother (because her mother died when she was born) in the poorer part of New Orlens, but the other members of her family live in the nice rich part of New Orleans. She is bullied at school because of her eyes and other features, but she doesn't care. One thing that is special about her is because she can see ghost. When a hurricane comes to New Orleans, Lanesha and her grandmother have to find a way to stay safe.
The Ninth Ward relates to the real world because it is about a family trying to stay safe during hurricane, Katrina. This book relates to the real world because hurricane Katrina was an acutel hurricane that is still one of the most remembered tropical storms in The United Staes. There were many families that were trying to save their friends and other family from the tropical storm, which Lanesha's family was trying to do. Many families came upon struggles in hurricane Katrina, but they could face them. I am only In the middle of the book where the storm is coming,but I have not heard about any problems or struggles that relate to the storm at this point.
The Ninth Ward is a great book to pair with the world. It is a great book to pair with the world because it is base a a true event that happend to millions of people. The book defiantly talks about most of th things that all families in New Orleans experience during one of the worst tropical storms Ed it's I. The United States.

My book relates to the really world because he is having a hared time at school when he finds out he has grown hair on his hands.He finds outta that it is his tern to do a book report in front of the entire class that he has hair all over his hand .So what he did was go out of class and get gloves from his locker.when he came back to class know one know test the nasty black hair on his hands.
What is weird about this story is that strange things happen to him as he grows up. When he was little the doctors found out that he can't sweat.So if he gets over heated it could really hurt him.As he got older he notes dogs had started chasing him for know resin.Few weeks after the dog intended he grow hair on his hand and ever time he shaves it of even more grows back. I have not read the whole book yet but it seems like he mite be a wolf.
