You should never be silent all great nobels were not silent, because they believed something was was wrong and has to be changed. For example Martin Luther King he was not silent when there was segregation between whites and blacks, he fought for the same right as white's. He faced punishment of going to jail numerous times, and got shot because of that but got what he thrived for in making life for colored people good. This shows that you should never be quiet, and if something is wrong speak up and face any punishments that might happen.

A GOOD LIFE

A good life is knowing someone is always by your side to help you. The someone might be family,

friends or even strangers. Someone who stands by your side during your tough times, and helps

you get over problems.He/She is not only a good person but also wants you to be happy and

have a good life. For example you could be the poorest man or woman in the world, but you have a

good friend that could make you laugh. Knowing that your not alone in this world, you can

achieve a good life by appreciating the people around you.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Then The One Who Is The One turned to the guards. "Take them away! They shall never see their parents again. Nor shall you Ben and Eliza, see your very special offspring until the day you all die.

This passage shows in the book the journey White and Wisty are going to take, so that the wont die. Also it shows how they were going to get captured, will never see there parents Ben and Eliza again.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Dear Asher

This is Jonas i was in your community and left i hope that you have received the memories safely. And the Community has not reached complete chaos I needed to leave because the community was not controlled by the people and having to see my father kill a child and to kill Gabe the next morning and just didn't want anyone to do that especially my father. Asher i want you to keep this letter between you and I because i don't want the community to look for me.

Asher your are the only one i trust because i know your ability of lying to people for example how you lied to the instructor countless times without getting punished i want you to do the same thing if any one a you what is in the letter tell them it is an essay or anything.

Also send me back a letter or anything about what happening in the community and how has it changed I want to tell you about my new community but i have to get a letter back from you showing that you will not tell any one .

I have picked Jakob's blog to comment on. On Jakob's first blog he gave a significant amount of support to what he was saying, by writing page numbers and giving the reader the connection with him and Jones and there similarity's. A piece of advice, don't write about that you have ADHD just write that Jones takes pills also do I you don't have to give that much information.

Your second blogpost had allot of evidence, even do it was a very short paragraph. It had quotes and page numbers on the book and it also showed, your point of view to what you think about lying but my only suggestion is that you redo it and don't delete words just add more to what you have so that you can have a good grade.

Overall I think Jakob you did a good job in your blog posts.

2. Why does Jonas find the instruction about lying so disturbing?


Why Jones might find this disturbing is because of trust, and what will happen if he lies and the community finds out. The result of what will happen is that the communities trust with Jones will decrease, and Jones would be ignored by everyone in his community. But "i am not sure about how Asher would fell" Because he lies all the time even to teachers, Asher might not care and would still be friends with Jones. Possibly Jones might manipulate lying and used it as his benefit as a receiver of dreams.

Jones might also be disturbed because he might get obsess with the privilege, of lying and start lying to this action, might make he community want to release him. Because he might be a role model to other kids, who will soon join the ceremony of twelve, and the parents from the family unit would not like Jones making there kids lie at there young age and would lead to them lying recklessly to the point when they also would be released

I think Jones will not use the privilege of lying often, this or probably he would see how lying get's addicting either way the book gives a lot of description.

I belong to a nuclear family. I am the youngest in my family. I was born in America and coming from my parents roots (Nigeria). I think that the majority of people in both America and Nigeria are allowed to decide what they want to be. My family cares a lot about me and also they care about my future and my success in getting a job.They told me to get a job that will be fun and also in a high income.

Some people think that the place you were born will decide your future it takes a person to overcome adversity. For instance, the next king of England was trained for royalty since young to be a king and he has no choice but to face his destiny as the future king. In my opinion, I don't want somebody to decide my future because I want to decide my future and success myself. Being a positive person, I wake up looking forward to a bright challenging day with plenty stored for my future. I think that my future has already well planned by dividing them into long term and short term

I think my life will not be decided by anyone only me, so i plan my life how i want and nobody can stop that.

Finally, chose one of the 3 main characters and write how this character has changed during the course of the novel.

Will

I think that Will was the one everyone had to thank because he was the first to talk to ozymandious, and thought that it would be better if the world was not ruled by the trpods. Will decided to go but then henry found him and they both went on the journey, but if henry was asleep he would have been capped next year. Will might not meet beanpole he would also be capped, and will might not make it because he needs everybody to reach the White mountain.

Will is a strong and smart person the group needed him the most, because in about the end of the book Will had the courage to get the grenade that the group found in the city of the ancients and throw it at the tripod.

I think this book is really good and good description i think other people will like to read it.

In the story white mountain three boys Will, henry and beanpole try to find freedom in the White mountains were tripods do not live but could not it was a long journey and it is still a long journey for them in there trip to the white mountains they will need each other and if they do not find it in time they will loose there freedom by the tripods

Freedom is an important part of every body life but freedom has been taken away from Will henry ween they were in there village because ween you are capped you will get out of school and leave the house showing that you are a an adult. When Will Beanpole reached the red tower they saw that freedom prevailed in the town and even ween your capped you will go to knight school to train as a knight but not be left by your self all alone. This is manly the whole reason Will wanted to stay he would be free to do what ever he want he was living in paradise but knew he would have to pay for his freedom he would have to be capped to live in the castle. Also the ritual for the caps is the slightly the same in wills country because in there it is turning from a boy to a knight and a girl to a woman while in wills family it is turning from a boy to a man and a girl to a woman.

In reaching the White mountain they are hoping to get safety and freedom from the tripods and live there peacefully and if they do something wrong it would be a huge journey gone to waste

1. How were the Tripods able to control the people?

2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.

3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.

How the Tripods were able to cap the humans without any frustration, is that they confused them saying that it was a ritual from child hood to adult Hood but is actually a ghastly thing. Kid's who have not been capped have started to question, but don't leave because they are afraid of the situation leaving home and going away. But only three boys felt that the tripods are terrible things, and that brings no imagination or thought in a person so the they decided to go to the white mountains and they sacrificed every thing they had like the food there health and others to not be capped.

For even more than their inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being Capped.

I choose this because not only Eloise and comte Comtesse that liked being capped, and they want Will to be capped so he can live with them i think and I thought Will was scared being capped.

"'Why should the Tripods take people away and Cap them? What right have they?' This shows that Will refuses to get capped but Eloise is making Will stay with her,and Will would rather get capped and stay with Eloise than go on a tiring journey to the white mountains . And Will is starts to think, what rights do they have of capping innocent people that have done nothing.

On the trip to white mountain another person has Beanpole. Beanpole is a 17 year old inventor who has not been capped he is smart and made glasses for himself, some of his other invention were unsuccessful but he was smart and highly curious of how life will be without tripods.

Beanpole met with Henry and Will and told him about the trip to the white mountains, and how they were going to reach it. Beanpole was interested in what they were saying and he told him how he taught of using a balloon and going to a place were tripods do not live, and Henry told them that he wants to join. I am writing this blog post to tell you my perspective on how Beanpole will be a benefit and a regret to reaching the White Mountain.

How beanpole is going to be a benefit is because he has a curious mind, and sees out of the box on how it came and how can it be improved in anyway. Beanpole also has the advantage of speaking French, and if they encounter any french people they can let him do all the talking while Henry and Will would just be behind him and letting him do all the talking.

Also how he will be a regret is because the food will finish quicker than usual, and they might have to look for there own food also Beanpole might use his brain to deceive them so they can give him the map.

It is kind of like a brain buster, you never knew what will happen and how it will happen but i believe that Beanpole will be a help in there way to the white mountain.

Am i like Will

I surprisingly think i do not act like Will, the only major part that me and Will have is that both of us are boys and if i knew i will be getting capped next year i would runaway.

Why i think i am not like will is because i do not like fighting all the time with my relatives, and steeling a watch ween i know it is not rightfully mine. When ozymandious told will to meet him at the tomb i wont had come, because i do not no him and all i might know is that he is a vagrant and vagrants are mad and stupid . I think me and will are the opposite to each other, and dont have the same thinking of others.

I am older than will so that means i have already been capped, i would have left for the white mountains or acted like a vagrant.

When school ended in December 2009 it was time to go home for the holiday. The family had no plans to travel abroad except for local traveling. When I opened the door to my living room, I was thrilled and happy that school has ended and I could do whatever I wanted. I woke up late in afternoon went to the gym to stretch and run some laps. It was tiring, but I felt better than before than before.

In the next morning my family decided to go on a trip to Genting Highland holiday Resort, it was cold and had to wear a jacket and 1 shirt but I still felt cold. Later we went to a theme park, it was one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Since I have been to Malaysia. When it was time to go home I felt sad because I had great fun. Our vacation wasn’t over because we had to go to Melaka, for one day but my parents said it was going to be used in the greatest way because our uncle K lives there and he knows the whole place.

As we got to his house he started telling us all the places he was going to take us to visit, it sounded interesting but what caught my ear was the eye of Malaysia. I wondered what it was going to be because it sounded interesting I could not wait for how exciting it would be what it was going to be. After site-seeing we felt hungry, then my uncle took us to a good restaurant in Melaka. Then we had to check into the hotel to have good sleep.

In the morning I was excited because it was time to go to the eye of Malaysia, I was literally jumping up and down as we came to the eye of Malaysia. It was the least that I expected, it was a it was a huge high rise tower that goes up and stays up for some time which gives a clear view of Malaysia it was extremely fun.

As the New Year began our family came together joyful and happy, and as we sat down on our coach we Said our New Year resolution for the year. This was one special moment that I will cherish forever.

My two resolutions for this year are as follows:-

1. To get a grade more than B or better in all of my subject. Also,

2. I want to learn something new in form of skills.

These resolutions are really important to me and I hope to abide by them to improve on my academic performance and be more useful at home.

There are some habits I feel I should stop for the sake of my studies and other school activities. Examples are: - sleeping late, not studying at the right time, spending too much time playing games and watching a television.

I hope at the end of the year this resolution will help me improve in my studies.
