Mythos- By Paul Jenkins
In this ...Derek M. Class: 2<br />Mythos- By Paul Jenkins<br />In this graphic novel the author writes about different marvel characters. He writes about each character and explains the conflict in each story. For example, in one of the stories Jenkins writes about Spiderman and the conflict of his uncle dying. Spiderman or Peter Parker becomes very depressed when he finds out his uncle has died. Spiderman decides to take action and stop crime from happening. In many of the other marvel stories characters also go through different conflicts like Spiderman.<br />Trickster- By James Bruchac, Joseph Bruchac, and Matt Dembicki<br />In this story the co-authors write about different conflicts between the characters. The authors also teach different lessons about not cheating, lying, bragging, and stealing. In one of the stories, ‘’Azban and the Crayfish,’’ the raccoon tries to get food. He tricks the crayfish acting like he was dead. The crayfish lied to the others by telling the others he killed the raccoon and by once they believed him he kept on bragging. The crayfish went and celebrate and kept singing, but once they all were near the raccoon he sprung up and ate them all. The lesson of the story was to not to brag and lie to others<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353397717262537359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931736406622432274.post-55105593425737090952013-11-01T11:22:06.205-04:002013-11-01T11:22:06.205-04:00Carson storm

The second graphic novel I read was “ Sita’s Ramayana”. The book is about Queen Rama, the main character, whose husband was exiled from his kingdom so therefore they lived a calm life in the forest. Until, one day Ravana tricks sita and captures her and brings her back to Lanka as he was the king there. Then, it was Rama who had to save her and she prayed everyday as she was in a prison in Lanka. She was in a prison because she didn't take Ravana hand in marriage. Now, Ravana’s Brother, Desist, went to Lanka to kick some sense into Ravana but he Ravana would not listen. Then, there was a war between the two brothers. Finally the king of Lanka died so the War had ended. Rama was finally freed and her husband was now crowned king of Lanka. Then, Sita was touched by Ravana so Rama could not take her back. Then, the fire god made Rama take Sita back and they were now king and queen of Ayodhya but when they took a trip to the forest Rama abandoned her. So now Sita disappeared into the world and was never seen again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08401436997153916776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931736406622432274.post-8753216294921578192013-10-31T22:55:23.688-04:002013-10-31T22:55:23.688-04:00Brendan Lee

She lives with her Aunt and her cousins because her uncle and parents both died. Her aunt and cousins treat her very badly and made her life extremely miserable. Her aunt finally shipped her off to boarding school where Jane thought that her life would be so much better. It turned out to be completely the opposite, her teachers were mean to her, and she only had one friend that passed away from sickness. After Jane finished with her studies she became a teacher at her school, there she taught for eight years. She decided it was time for her to leave so she left and went to get a job at Thornfield hall. There she was a teacher for Mr. Rochester, the owner of Thornfield’s daughter. When she met Mr. Rochester there was an instant connection and they fell in love immediately. After that her life went in ups and downs but she returned to Mr. Rochester after she found out he had gotten hurt in a fire. They ended up marrying and having one baby boy and they lived for the rest of their lives at Thornfield hall.<br /><br />Summary of Eternal Smile: Eternal smile is separated into three different stories. The first one is about a boy who has a troubled life and gets put into a coma by his mom’s boyfriend. In his coma he has dreams of having an amazing life where he’s rich, famous and has everything he ever could want. When he wakes up, his mom is sitting in the hospital room waiting of him to get up. The two make amends and end up happy.<br />Story two: In the second story there is a frog. The frog is rich and famous and has everything he could ever want and need. He is greedy and always wants more money. One day his assistant tells him about something that he sees in the sky which he calls “the eternal smile” that could make him a lot of money. Of course the frog goes to it and begins to make a profit from it. He builds a church called the eternal smile and charges people a large amount of money to see the smile. Once everyone realizes he is not there to really help them but to take their money they all turn on him leaving him alone. After that he realizes the true key to happiness doesn’t come from money it comes from being and doing something you love.<br />Story three: Story three is about a girl named Janet. Janet is not very happy with her life, she doesn’t have much money, she does not have a good job that she enjoys going to, and she doesn’t have anyone else in her life. One day Janet gets an email from a man that claims to be the Prince of Nigeria. He says that he needs to get her saving account from the banks pin number so he can store his money in it because the people in Nigeria are trying to steal it. Janet reluctantly agrees and gives him the number and the $5,000 he asked for. Every time she gets an email from him he asks for more money to help the process of transferring all his money to her account. In the end she has given him over $4,000 because she was starting to fall in love with him. Janet finally found out it was a scam and tracked down the man that did this to her.

The book, “Ender’s Shadow”...Brian Fischer <br />Class 6<br /><br />The book, “Ender’s Shadow”, is about a boy named Bean, who is smarter than many people around him. He is a homeless boy who lives in the hellish streets of Rotterdam, during the time period of 2170. He lives with a group of homeless kids, who all share something in common, the skill to stick up for each other, and steal; a life changing skill. Bean is discovered by a nun who gives him shelter. She tests him to see his capabilities, and finds out that he is different from all the other kids that she has tested in the past. She sends him off to a battle school in outer space to be taught how to fight. There is a war that is going on the whole time. When he arrives, one of the first things that he receives is a tablet, with a battle game. The game to the students is just another fun thing to do, but they are actually being monitored by the leaders of the battle school. This is used to evaluate each person there, and their skills. Bean realizes what is going on, and refuses to play; not because he doesn’t think that he can’t succeed at the game, but for the simple fact that he does not want to be monitored by others. He assumes that there must be a reason for this whole process, and decides to search more into it. When he does, he ends up hacking into the systems account, and finds important information, regarding someone who was in charge of the other army.<br /><br />In the book, “Prince of Persia”, a group of people with a royal jewel are caught by the king. They are accused of stealing it, even though they didn’t. It was given to them as a gift by the Prince of persia. Everyone in the group is connected to the Prince in some way, mostly for doing a good deed, or being good friends with him before he even became prince. Throughout the whole book, everyone explains how they are connected to him, trying to prove their innocence. They all describe a heroic act, or a helpful deed that they have done. Throughout the book the king does not believe any of them. He lets half of them go for not committing any major crime, but two of the men have to stay, for they have told an unbelievable story. In the end they end up escaping, and the king receives a letter from the Prince of persia, telling him to release the men at once, for they have committed no crime. Everyone was telling the truth through a different story, and the king ends up looking like a fool.
