    Book Summary: The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

    -Katniss Everdeen: She is sixteen years old, and is portrayed as quiet, independent and fierce. Her looks are typical for someone from the Seam (the slums of District 12): long dark hair (which she wears in a single braid down her back), olive skin, and grey eyes. She lives with her mother and her younger sister, Primrose, in District 12, a coal-mining district and one of the poorest districts of Panem. Food is scarce in District 12 and Katniss hunts illegally to feed her family and to supplement their meager income. Five years before Katniss became a tribute in The Hunger Games, her father was killed in a mining explosion, and her mother fell into a very deep depression. She became hunting partners and best friends with Gale Hawthorne, who is also from the…

Then we learn more about the author of the book, Tolkien and how the road started and the difficult tasks he had to overcome.…

    How To Read The Percy Jackson Series

    I love to read because of the Percy Jackson series. `My mom use to read them to me and now I read them to myself. They are my favorite series and I have read more of the writer’s different series too. The writer's name is Rick Riordan. I also like to read book about the stars, constellations, and the myths for the people that are in the stars. I like adventure/drama too. Some adventure/drama stories I like are about children whose parents died or are trying to save them from a villain. I don’t like to write unless I write about my family or a fairy tale with the help of my mom, dad, step mom, or the inspiration from my sister. My family is the best thing that happened to me since I was born. I think the reason I love to write about my family…

    Personal Narrative: My Interview With Percy Jackson

    When I sat down to interview a young 11 year old girl I didn't expect to receive the answers that I did. She does like to read and she is a very avid reader because she reads at least 30 minutes a day and owns about 14 books. The third question I asked her was the one that I wasn't expecting to get the answers that she gave me. Recently, she has read the entire Harry Potter series and the Percy Jackson series. This was surprising to me because when I was her age I wasn't reading these types of books and I haven't met any 11 year olds who have. These book series are lengthy chapter books that follow the story of two teens who live in a magical world. The Harry Potter series has seven books in total and the Percy Jackson series has three.…

    The Lightning Thief

    Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old with ADHD and dyslexia. Percy goes to a middle school called Yancy Academy, which is a school for troubled kids. During a field trip, Percy is attacked by Alecto, a mythological creature known as a Fury, who was disguised as his pre-algebra teacher Mrs. Dodds. Percy kills Mrs. Dodds with a pen sword that his Latin teacher threw to him. He is unaware that it is a powerful important sword. After Mrs. Dodds is gone, everybody acts like she was never there and Mrs. Dodds was replaced. Percy Jackson does not know this at this point, but this is because of the Mist (a magical aura that can manipulate thoughts and memory to keep humans from knowing the truth). Now only Grover, Mr. Brunner, and Percy ever knew she existed. After the field trip, Percy is expelled like on any field trip and on the last day and sees three old women cutting yarn, and gets freaked out. He rushes home and abandons his friend to go on a vacation with his mom to Montauk, but terrible weather strikes. Once Percy tells his mom what happened, his mom gets horrified that he didn't tell her. A satyr named Grover Underwood, and his mother Sally Jackson, then bring him to Camp Half-Blood, a camp for demigods: children with an Olympian Greek god for one parent. While avoiding the Minotaur's attacks, his mother is killed (or at least that's what Percy thinks). Percy then finds a strange strength inside of him and kills the Minotaur. He carries Grover down to Camp Half-Blood and faints on the front porch. Once he revives, he realizes he is in Camp Half-Blood. The camp is located off Long Island. There, he meets Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. They become good friends by the end of the novel. Not long after his arrival, Poseidon, the sea god, claims Percy as his son during a game of demigod-style capture-the-flag, when he is…

    The Lightning Theif Character Analysis

    Percy, in a fit of rage for the miotaur that not only kidnapped his mother, but injured Grover as well, manages to kill the minotaur after breking off its horn; after the minotaur's defeat, Percy dragged Grover over a hill before falling unconscious on a doorstep. When Percy awoke the following morning, he was met by the beautiful grey-eyes of Annabeth Chase, and finds out he is in a place called Camp Half Blood, where demigods of all sorts gather in one, protected location. This is where Percy is given his quest to clear his name when he is accused of stealing Zeus's Master Bolt, and how Percy meets his father Poseidon, who is one of Zues's two brothers; the other being Hades. Percy is later accused of stealing the Helm of Darkness, which belongs to Hades, but Percy figures out that the thief of not just the Helm, but the Master Bolt as well is none other than Luke, who is the son of the god Hermes; the god of message carrying and thievery. Percy successfully proves himself innocent at the end of the novel, showing that he has come a long way from just being some troubled kid; Percy started out as a troublemaker who always had the courage to defend Grover, who was often bullied, but as Percy goes on, he becomes more and more…

    Chapter 1-6 Summary of the Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Rings

    The prologue, spoken by Galadriel, shows the Dark Lord Sauron forging the One Ring in order to conquer the lands of Middle-earth. A Last Alliance of Elves and Men is formed to counter Sauron's forces at the foot of Mount Doom, but Sauron kills Elendil, the High King of Men. His son, Prince Isildur grabs Elendil's broken sword Narsil, and slashes at Sauron's hand, separating him from the Ring and vanquishing his army. However, because Sauron's "life force" is bound to the Ring, he is not completely defeated until the Ring itself is destroyed. Isildur takes the Ring and succumbs to its temptation, refusing to destroy it. He is later ambushed and killed by orcs, and the Ring is lost in a river. The Ring is found by the creature Gollum thousands of years later, who takes it underground for five centuries, giving him "unnaturally long life." Since the Ring is bound to Sauron, it has a will of its own and wants to be found. Therefore, the Ring consciously leaves Gollum in its quest to be reunited with Sauron. However, it is instead found by the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, much to the despair of Gollum. Bilbo returns to his home in the Shire with the Ring, and the story jumps forward in time sixty years.…
