More Bones

  • Paragraph 1 is a summary/review/thoughts about your book. 
  • Paragraph 2 should discuss theCONFLICT(S) in your book and what these conflicts tell you about the possible THEMES in the book.

    The book I just finished is called " More Bones " . The author is Arielle North Olson . Its about scary stories and getting you spook . I like the book because its a scary but funny book at the same time . The author uses clear descriptions about how spooky the characters are and how spooked they try to get each other . I like this book because its not a book I would read . When I read it , something I found interesting is that the main character in the book had married a Corpse ( dead body ) . 
   There was really no conflict in the book . The only thing was no one knew the main character was married to a corpse. The theme in this book is probably " Love is love even when its dead love is still love." If I could add another chapter to the book it would probably be about how they communicate. How does he feel not hearing her talk and helping him with everything?

Summary of Among the Hidden

The book i am reading is called Among The Hidden . The main character is Luke and he is the 3rd child and his parents are only allowed to have 2 kids and he is illegal so they have to keep him hidden so no one finds out about him . He meets a friend and she wants him to let everyone know that how special he is and he really likes her so he is willing to rise everything just for her .  They live in the woods so no one will find out or notice him . If they found out about him they would take him away and number him as a number for example if they found out out they will take him to a to a place and put a number on his arm . 

The genre of Among the hidden is young adult fiction . I like the part when Luke and his crush had there little moment . They were telling each other there special . I didn't like the part where he wanted to second guess about why he has to stay hidden .  Something I like about about Luke is how strong he is like he doesn't care about what anyone says about him he just wants to be seen .

Workers' Right

    The article I read is called Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike. The workers' in Indonesia only get paid $1.25 a day and they could only afford a 8 foot 8 one bed room apartment, if the workers' have extra money they usually pay for tooth paste or soap. They don't have enough money to sponsor there kids education. #3 People have the right to a safe life. I think this right is being violated because they only make $1.25 a day and live in a 8 foot house. If they live in a 8 foot 8 house and share a one bed room with 1 person could sometimes be unsafe with the little room limit. The article says  "In addition to the difficult, yet technically legal hardship of earning minimum wage, workers have suffered human rights violations at Nike factories." I think the issue is the workers are not getting treated as they should. If the workers are helping the business grow and make money why are they not getting treated the way they should? I thought that If Lebron James could donate 90 million dollars to them , how come the worker’s are still not getting paid enough?  

In the poem "The Sweat Shop" there was a worker who got treated like a machine so bad where to the point he thought he was a machine. I think right #3 People have the right to a safe life, is being violated . I pick #3 because the worker feels like he is a machine and he says in the poem " I have no feeling, no thoughts, no understanding." Humans are not suppose to be treated in that way to the point where they forget there meaning or forget they have feelings. I think the poem was different from the article because in the article Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike , the workers didn't get treat as bad as the worker from the poem . I think overall the workers shouldn't get treated like they have no meaning . If they help the business and make money for them , than they should be able to get the proper treatment they need .
