    Book: Red pyramid
    Topic: predictions

    right now in my book Carter and Sadie are running from the demons that were sent from the demon/god of death with help of their cat (which is also magic) they just stole a car and are running away from carriers. My first prediction is, maybe the cat will get killed or injured so carter and/or Sadie will have to drive the car which will cause a chain reaction of stuff.

  8. Monster
    conflict

    Right now in my book the judge brougt in the star witness mrs.henry. She is important because she was at the drugstore a few minutes before the attack. This is important because she stated that she saw James King grab the store owner's collar right before she left. She also mentioned that she thought he yelled at the owner asking him where he keep the money. This helps me understand that now there is a bigger chance that they were the people that murderd the store owner.

  9. pray hard
    main chacter
    Right now in my book the main chacter is about 13 years old her dad died in a plain crash. She thinks its her fault,but he was on a bisness trip.
    This is important because when her mom was getting her hair done, some guy she had never seen before knocked on her door asking and talking about her dad.
    this helps me understand that her dad must have been a friendly man. And knowen by a almost everyone. Also that his daughter loves him very much.

  12. Title: Mockingjay By: Suzanne Collins
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book katniss is in a very difficult situation that is probably very difficult to her and she really doesnt know what to do next. I cant really tell you much if you havent really read the first two books of the series. But i can tell you that when you read the second book and the third book you are in for a surprise. there is a lot of action and a lot of conflict almost between everybody. Katniss has a little more conflict with haymitch more that she usually does. Also katniss has some conflict with Gale and Petta. If you want to know what all of the conflict is about then i recommend you reading this series.

  13. True Believer By Nicholas Sparks
    Main Character
    Rioght now in my book Jeremy marsh has to write a story for his big time news article that gets featured all around the world in the small southern town Boone Creek, North Carolina. He expects it to be a normal goast story that he will be able to un cover very easily but he ends up meeting Lexie Darnell, a librarian who isn't charmed very easily by men, but all will come to change after they spen a week together trying to uncover this mystory. Right now they are just getting one eating lunch and are about to head up rikers hill to see if tht has anythi8ng to do with the goastly lights.
    This is important beacause it shows how determined he is to find out even the s,allest of things. It shows me that he will preety much never give up till tthe job is done.
    This helps me understand that if there starts to be a conflict in there romance that he will try anything to save if because he is starting to really like lexie. It also helps me understand why is articles are so popular around the u.s because he gets his facts strait.

  15. title: hikaru no go volume 2
    topic: main charcter
    right now in the book the main charcter is going to try and be as great akira. He already beat him but it was because of the sirte named
    sai he was a spirit from a go boardthat he can only see.
    he is practiceing to beat him without sai's help because he loves the game so much that he is willing to beat akira by himself to see how far he's gotten at go.
    for my thinking one of them has to win against each other,he may ask for sai's help but that will tell him he can't win without sai's help.

  16. Book: Artemis Fowl the Atlantis Complex
    Topic: conflict
    In the intro it said that Artemis was seeing things that aren't really there. Then in chapter 1 Artemis was putting together a very important meeting. When doing this he had a kind of obsession with the number 5.
    I think that the obsession and the hallucinations are caused by the same thing. I think the thing cause of it is just stress.

  17. Book: The Apprenticeship of Lucas Whitaker
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book, Lucas and Doc are at a standpoint about curing tuberculosis, Lucas thinks that an un-orthodox way of curing a victim by burning another persons heart (the heart belongs to a dead person of course) is successful while Doc thinks that it is non-sense and they should focus on a cure that is actually scientific. This is important because Doc really wants to save people, but so does Lucas and Lucas thinks he is right and thinks that Doc should think so to, but Doc is smart enough to know it requires science. This helps me understand that Lucas is still innocent and doesn't understand the harshness of life and that he needs to help Doc find a cure.
