Blog For The Week Of 2/9/15

The Testing by: Joelle Charbonneau
Pages: 1-50
Prompt:
-Do you like what you are reading? Why or why not? 
-List 2 problems that the main character has faced


           I like what I am reading because it reminds me of the Hunger Game series. I really enjoyed that series and it was really fun to read. This book is sort of like it in a way because it is based on how our future might be. There is more technology involved and it's just really cool to see what kind of new things they have invented. I also like how there is kind of a plot twist in the beginning. Not a big one but there is one. 

           One of the problems that the character has to face is walking. I don't know if she enjoys all of the walking but I certainly don't. She had to walk 5 miles in the story just to get to the place where she was going to graduate. Since she has to walk everywhere I'm assuming there are no cars which could also be a problem. 

           Another problem that the character has to face is that at first, nobody was chosen for the testing. She thought that she had a chance of getting chosen for the testing, but when the announcer at the graduation said that the man that chose people wasn't there, she got a sad and disappointed. She was wondering what she was going to do with her life because she hadn't been chosen for the testing. I think she lost a little self-confidence because she said that she would never be good enough for the testing.

  1. I agree that this book would remind you of The Hunger Games. One thing you can fix it that you forgot to add a period on the very last sentence. Other then that this was a great blog!

  2. I also agree and as you start to read more and more it starts to sound like The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. One thing a minor error I see is that you have like one or two run on sentences but, otherwise great blog.
