my 11th post, but is actually the 7th post

Hi. It's me, Blak€. I am reading the book The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. It is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen. Her mom and her sister Prim live in District 12 of the country of Panem. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which a boy and a girl ages 12 to 18 are selected to go to the Capitol and fight to the death with contestants from the other districts and the other person from their own. In the drawing, Prim's name was the one picked, but Katniss wouldn't let her go and volunteered to take her place. I predict that Katniss will win the Hunger
Games, and then start a revolution against the Capitol with her friend Gale and other district members. She will be greeted warmly when she gets home, but will probably just go hunt in the forests like she did before. My favorite character so far is Katniss, or Catnip as Gale calls her. She is independent and strong. She has supported her family for the most part after her dad died in a mine accident. After her dad died, her mom went into a lockdown. She didn't move around much, and didn't go out of the house at all. Prim stayed home because she couldn't do much else while Katniss was hunting and trapping with Gale. Their mentor who previously won the Hunger Games from their district is a drunk named Haymitch who is in his middle ages.

By the way Ms. Pietrzak, I posted on Sam's Lisak Blog.

6th post.

Hi there. I just finished a book called The Last Olympian, which is part of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It is about a half god named Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. He is battling the Titan Army, led by Kronos, who is in the form of a half blood who turned to the Titans, Luke Castellan. Luke ran away from home when he was young because his mom went insane. His mom went crazy because she tried to become the Oracle of Delphi, but little did she know, Hades put a curse on the Oracle of Delphi in the 1950's which didn't allow her to have another human host. Percy's friend, Annabeth, who is a daughter of Athena, helps Percy fight Kronos and his army.

To help himself defeat Kronos, Percy joins with his friend Nico, who is a son of Hades. Nico takes Percy to take a swim in the river Styx, which gives Percy the Curse of Achilles. The Curse of Achilles gives one unbelievable strength, but gives the person one weak point which a wound to would kill them. For Percy, his weak spot is the small of his back. He almost gets killed by Ethan Nakamura, son of Nemesis, who attacks him there with a poison blade, but Annabeth steps in the way and takes the knife for him, and ends up staying in camp for a few days to heal.

My favorite character in the series is Annabeth. She is sarcastic, smart, has a good sense of humor, and is a good fighter. She helps Luke kill Kronos (which is technically killing himself) because she helps him remember who he is and he ends up killing himself by stabbing himself in his weakspot, which is his armpit, with Annabeth's knife.

5th post.

Hi. I have abandoned Eleven. It was actually really boring. Whatever. I just started reading a book called The Compound by S.A. Bodeen. It is about a boy named Eli Yanakakis. He is the son of a billionaire named Rex Yanakakis. His family is his grandma, his brother named Eddy, his sisters, Terese and Lexie, his mom, and his dad. They fled to a place called The Compound because of a nuclear attack. Eli's grandma and Eddy didn't make it there in time and they were stuck outside. I haven't gotten much more information than that. Seeya later :-b
