LITERATURE ANALYSIS #1

 1. The book I read was City of Ashes  by Cassandra Clare, being the second installment in The Mortal Instruments series. The plot of the book is basically Valentine trying to get the Soul Sword which is a mortal instrument. He did so by killing the silent brothers which where a special union of shadow hunters. Later Clary and the other shadow hunters (Alec and Izzy) went to investigate what happened to the silent brothers, finding them all dead. Jace being imprisoned there by the Inquisitor was found by Clary and the rest. After being freed the inquisitor finds them and accuses Jace of helping Valentine in the massacre of the Silent Brothers. Jace ends up having to stay with Magnus as a prisoner later being called to the Seelie queens court with Clary, Simon, and the others where they try getting her help in defeating valentine. There Clary and her friends where made prisoners and could only escape by kissing either Simon or Jace which in choice she chose Jace and Simon was hurt so he ended up running away. Simon was fully turned into a vampire. Clary revealed she could make new runes never before seen. Jace ended up running away secretly from the group to meet Valentine and planed a deal with him to protect his loved ones but the Inquisitor found out and imprisoned him again planning to use him as a trade for the Soul Sword. Simon got his blood drained and was near death but got saved by Jace by letting him take some of his blood. Clary was kidnaped by a demon and was brought to Valentines ship where a battle begun. After the battle Sunrise was among them and Simon was presumed dead but then they found out Jaces blood allowed him to come in contact with the daylight. After the commotion Clary was told info about how to awake her sleeping mother from a spell. The book cuts off and continues the story in the next book.

2. From what I could gather the theme of this book is no matter what situation your put in you'll be able to manage a way around it, but along the way there may be some sacrifices and betrayals that have to be made.

3. Based on the authors tone she seems be an early morning person that enjoys a morning coffee or tea with homey food like pancakes or like the food on Instagram. She seems like she does home yoga in the mornings and enjoys just taking a break. To me the author seems like a very warm morning esthetic kind of person. I specifically thing this as the main character Clary seems a lot like this.

4. One major foreshadowing in the book was the relationship between Clary and Jace. Since the beginning and even in the previous book it was clear that Jace and Clary wont be able to be in a lover relationship. Imagery is also used in the book and its used a lot. Imagery is used whenever describing any sort of environment/surroundings in the story. My personal favorite was the Seelie world. Demons in this world and valentine were personified as darkness in the world. The shadow hunters and mostly the angels are personified as lightness and greatness/divine. The allusion of New York is also in this book a lot as they do mention and describe a lot of places in New York that the main characters head to.

 October 29  I balance my need for individuality and to fit in by finding people who would accept me for me. To others who may come across our friend group we may seem weird, strange, or dumb. We all have our quirks and may get out of control form time to time when we have sudden mood changes or may just act awkward and shy. We may have different interest and it may be a bit weird but instead of suppressing ourselves around each other we embrace ourselves. I get to be myself around my friends and can be as weird and crazy as in want around them. I get to feel as myself around them. November 3  Hysterical strength distracts a person and gives them a huge energy boost due to there extreme stress they are under. As for our situation in school and achieving our academic goals, especially this past week when we where given the chance to do make up work. Since we where given this week most of us went into hightail/procrastination mode where one is highly productive and sacrifices there menta

August, 20     Question : Why is it that so many young people want to be older, and so many older people want to be young? How do you feel about your age?      Younger people want to be older to be seen as more mature and responsible. Some may want to be older in order to work and earn their own money, be able to live in on their own, or any other adult like subject that seems fun and exciting in their eyes. They mainly just want to be older or seen as an older individual in order to stop being nagged at by others and have freedom in their lives without someone looking over their shoulders at all times. However older people want to be younger in order to reclaim their youthful, energetic, and stronger self they used to have. Some may just want to look younger or not have as many responsibilities like taxes. As for me I feel stuck in the middle. I don't want to be younger as I would get less freedom in my life and don't want to be as old as to miss out on the teenage years of my

LES MIS BK 2 CH 6

 We got more back story on our main character Jean Valjean and a reason as to why he was put in jail. After going over this chapter it makes me feel pain for Jean Valjean and what he had to got through in his life. He basically lost his entire family. The reason why he was put in jail was super unfair to me as he was basically put between a rock and a hard place. Its a person with good intentions forced to do a bad thing. Jean Valjean was either forced to steal food like the bread he stole to feed his family or watch them slowly starve to death. This just shows how unfair the world can be to some people and how they could still be labeled bad or criminal even though they where doing it to save someone or themselves.
