I make your flowers bloom like a new city on the eastern seaboard.
I fly low, as fast as a releasing bow.
My favorite football team is the stealers I support them head to toe.
I am about the size of one of your coins of 25.
I flutter across your lawn in the spring and summer, such a bummer.
I am known to sting with only a small ping.
What am I?
I jump from tree to tree I even fly
I make it look like I weigh as much as a dime.
I bury my prey under ground
And wait for summer to come around.
I like nuts
What am I?
I have a beak.
I am found in underground peaks.
I am mistaken for a beaver.
But I’m no cleaver.
I like to swim at night
And I don’t shy away from a fight.
What am I.
I am sleek
I have no beak
I am found in creeks
I have one bone and no home.
What am I.
The hunger games “the movie” has the third best in “most attended movie” in its first week of showing. The book also is one of the top selling books in history. Written by Susan Collins the Hunger games is the first book in its trilogy. The book takes place in a green lush, hilly area, with twenty-four tributes, two from each district. The book is almost always going to be the better of the two for example the lighting thief book was great the movie was ok. Unlike Narnia I thought the movies were better than the books. The book I thought did a great job explaining the relationships between the characters, and the movie did not explain this very well. I also think the movie was horrible explaining the second meaning of the book.
The best character relationship I thought the movie did well was the relationship between gale and Katness until later in the movie. I thought they did this very well they made it look like they were friend’s good old friends. However they sort of screwed that up when Peeta and Katness kissed and they showed gale sad back home. I thought that they were just good friends not lovers but they movie sort of made gale and her out to be later in the movie. The Katness, Peeta relationship was ok in the movie.
The relationship that I thought was worst in fact, I think totally missed was the Cinna, Katness relationship. In the book it makes him her best friend during the prepping of the games. I think also missed was the relationship with his side kick makeup artist in the movie they did not even get names and they were only in a 30 second seen. I thought that the movie made Effie trinket a more important than Cinna. I think they could have made these relationships better by more talking on the roof with Peeta and longer makeup time with Cinna. Don’t get me wrong I understand it is a movie and they have time limits and stuff like that I just wish there was more bonding.
Another way I thought the movie needed improvement on was with the second meaning the part of how Katness was used, and how she was just a symbol for the new rebels under district thirteen. In the book when Katness went to the dance with the people from the capital when he meets the young man from district thirteen. He sees her pin and shows her his own pin then walks away sort of sleekly and confidently. Another part that was left out in the movie was the part about Cinna choosing to be the dresser for district twelve instead of choosing one of the lower districts. I also I thought that Susan Collins also could have added a few more hints about the rebels in the first book. There was not that much of it until the second book. So I guess there is no real way the movie could have showed this better.
Although the movie had a lot of problems with it, it also had a lot of great parts to the movie too. For example the part with the hacker jackers when Katness cuts the nest from the tree and kills Fiona from the bees, I thought this was played out perfectly like I thought it was in my mind when I read the book. Just like the movie Alex rider Strormbreaker when the training house part where, wolf pushes then kicks Alex into the stun grenade. Rarely ever do I watch a movie where it is exactly like what I imagined in my mind. My favorite part of the movie was probably when she shot the apples and blew up the mines. I liked this part because I thought it really played a major part in the games, because it made the main killer group actually hunt for their food. In the book I did not there was a person guarding the food. So the movie added some parts to the book that I thought were needed.
Even though this movie had a lot of good parts in it the movie also had it downs. The producers of this movie had high expectations for this movie and I thought that they did pretty good job on it though. But it is nothing compared to the book just because of time wise, already at 2hr and 22 min. I am very excited for the next movie, and I hope they give more character building and show more of the second meaning to the story in the next movie. With time budgets and money cost I thought the movie portrayed the book well.
The Illuminati
The Illuminati, a secret society said to take over the world and reduce the population to 500 million this could include you and your family! Our word population is currently 6,840,507,003 in 2010 now it’s even more! But that is not the illuminate I am talking about I am talking about the book “The Illuminate” written by Larry Burkett. This book has fictional character but takes place in America mostly with the real plot of the illuminati and other things of that nature. So far in this book I have read to page 52 out of 308. Even though I am only on page 52 I can already see a few options that can happen but it all depends what kind of person the author is.
Larry is a Christian writer; this is not his normal type of book he writes about financial ways to save money and learn about stocks. He owns his own financial business and likes to play baseball and watch bad ending movies. By this information I think that, the ending will end with the illuminati having the last laugh. I think this because he likes bad ending movies but in that same article it said he also like books with twists. So that could prove me wrong. So far in the book I have no clue who the main character is. Some characters possible are Jeff wells a collage nut that is really smart. Hunt a guy running for president who I think is with the illuminati. Maybe Jeff is with them to, according to my plan he needs to be. So far Hunt is running for president and but there is one man in the way the governor of California jerry crow who is also running. I think this because on page 28 Hunt says that he needs something bad to happen in the west (And the other runners are on the eastern states). Referring to, that somebody out west is his competitor. Then Jeff discovers a earth quake is going to hit Japan and send out a tsunami towards California this is only what happens up to page 52.
My prediction is that Mr. Hunt is really working for the illuminati so they can have a firm grip on America, I suppose that they already have people in the senate and congress two so they can get their bills passed. I also think hunt is paying wells to make this earth quake thing up to make the guy from California look bad. Because people want something done about the quake. But you can’t really do anything about an earthquake. After that I suppose that Hunt will get elected to president and he will make laws to help the society. After that I think that the society will kill Jeff but before they do he will tell somebody about them and he or she will try to stop them.
In the end of the book I believe that he/she will not prevail and die.
I have made this prediction because the author likes bad endings. Also hunt says he needs something bad to happen west and something is probably not going to happen unless you make it happen. Which is exactly what hunt will do because the book makes him out to be a devious and smart person. However if Larry decided that he wanted a happy ending I would have thought there would have been more books. Like the Alex rider series 1-8 books have happy endings but book 9 he dies and there is no book after that. That is not the only book like that the Narnia book series same thing. This book was made in 1998 the year I was born 13 years ago so I don’t think he is still writing. And these are all the reasons why I think this is what will happen in the future of the book written by Larry Burkett.
