A Child Called "It" - Dave Pelzer

A Child Called "It" is a story about a kid named David whose is getting abused by his mom. She hits him all the time and she says he's no longer apart of the family. She calls him "the boy" and "it". She blames him for everything. Even David's brothers want anything to do with him. David says his mother brain washed his brothers. Davids' father doesn't help David or defend him. He just tells David to be good and listen. His mother always beats David. She no longer feeds him. He'll just get scraps of food. It's a great book. I would recommend it. Some things are horrible. It's hard to thing someone would do these things to their own kid.

The Eye of Minds- Blog #9

The Eye of Minds - James Dashner

Michael and his friends decided not to go look for Kaine. The VNS got made and blocked them from getting on the game. Michael had his neighbor call the VNS and say that they were back in. They went to a guy named Cutter. Cutter told Michael, Sarah, and Bryson to go find a women named Ronika. After they found her, they asked questions about Kaine. She said she only knew a little bit but in a game they could get into a portal that leads to Kaines hiding spot. Bryson starting freaking out. Their tracker lit up, meaning Kaine was close. Instead of Kaine, KillSims came in the room. If they get bit by a KillSim, they could die in the game and in reality. Ronika, Michael, Sarah, and Bryson got trapped in a small compartment in the room. Michael was going to distract the KillSims and told the others to run out the door. Everyone was out the door and they were all running up the stairs, but the KillSims started attacking. Bryson and Sarah figured out how to kill the KillSims. When they got a KillSim off Michael and went to go help Ronika, she was dead. They left the club immediately after that. They had to go to a game called Devils of Destruction. The game was A.O, adults only. They got attacked by black ropes. They struggled to get free, but Bryson hacked into a women who was controlling the ropes. They finally went into the game. It was very long walk and cold. After they finally got to a door that led them farther into the game, they realized why it was A.O. Other people in the game were killing each other. Three other gamers saw Michael and his friends. They came running at them attacking and had knives to kill the kids. Michael got hit a few times but he attacked his attacker and killed her. Then another man came and attacked Michael. That man had a knife to Michaels throat. The man killed Michael. That's as far as I got so far. I'm excited to read what is going to happen next!

The Eye of Minds

The Eye of Minds is about a virtual video game. The characters in the book, Michael, Sarah, Bryson, and Kaine, play this game called VirtNet. They get hooked up to cords that connects to the brain and they are all asleep while playing the game. Everything in the game felts and looks real. Michael had to stop this girl from killing herself. She took out her Core, which can kill them in reality and in the game. Michael and Tanya, the girl who killed herself, fell in the water. Michael woke up. But, Tanya will never wake up. Michael told his best friends, Bryson and Sarah. After he told them, he got off the game and went to bed. The next morning, he was walking to school when a van pulled up and tackled him in the car. They took him to a secret place. Michael met Agent Weber. She was with VirtNetSecurity. She told Michael she needs his helping hacking the system. A user known as Kaine, has been hacking into players accounts and making them suffer, not letting leave them game, forcing them to kill their selves. Michael agreed to help them and his friends needed to help too. Michael went back to VirtNet to tell his friends. He told them everything. Then, everything went black. Michael was paralyzed. Kaine came to him and told Michael to stop looking for him. Or else he'll start torturing Michael and his friends. 

I like this book so far. I'm eager to find out what is going to happen next!

Mockingjay

Some of the rebels from District 13 went to the Capitol to get Annie, Johanna, and Peeta. Annie was happy to be reunited with Finnick. Katniss went to go see Peeta and was happy to see him. But when Katniss tried to hug Peeta, Peeta started choking Katniss, trying to kill her. Katniss was knocked out for a few days. Peeta has be hijacked by the capitol. His memories have been mixed with bad thoughts. He thinks Katniss is a mutt and distroyed District 12 and killed his family and friends. Doctors are trying to fix him. Meanwhile, President Coin tells Katniss she has people who are going to the Capitol to takeover. Katniss is upset because she can't go. She agrees to practice more and go. She takes a test and is ready to go to the Capitol. She heads to the Capitol with Boggs, Gale, Finnick, Cresseda, her camera crew, and Johnson. Cresseda and her crew films Gale, Finnick, and Katniss. Peeta shows up. They get bombed and most of the crew dies. All that's left is Cresseda, her crew, Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. They all split up to try to go into President Snow's house. Katniss loses Gale. She gets closer to the Presidents house. Then she sees her little sister. She tries to yell for her, but then a bomb went off. Katniss wakes up few weeks later. Her sister had died. But the rebels took over the Capitol. Katniss can now kill Snow. Everyone who was in the Capitol attended the execution of President Snow. Katniss looks at Snow then realizes Coin used her, and it would be like President Snow all over again. She then kills Coin. After waiting weeks. Haymitch tells Katniss they're going home. Katniss's mother has stayed behind in the Capitol to help the hospital. Katniss stays in her home for months. Peeta is allowed to go home. Katniss and Peeta help each other through their nightmares. Years past, Peeta and Katniss have kids. A girl and a boy. Katniss loves her kids and Peeta. There is no more Hunger Games. The End

I did not like the last few chapters of the book. I wish it would have ended differently but it's still a good book and series.

Mockingjay

Mockingjay is the part of the Hunger Game series. In this book so far, the main characters are Katniss, Gale, Plutarch, Haymitch, and Coin. The plot of the story if to go to war with the capitol. Katniss and the others are all apart of the Rebels. They want Katniss to be the Mockingjay. Katniss agrees to be the Mockingjay. But President Coin has to agree to let Peeta be safe and not get hurt after they win. Katniss goes to District 8, where the Capitol is bombing the hospitals. Katniss and Gale try to fight to save all the sick people inside, but they were too late, as the hospital went up into flames. No one told Coin that Gale and Katniss disobeyed the orders. Katniss and Gale both went back to their District, District 12. District 12 was bombed by the capitol, leaving nothing left but ash, dust, and burnt up houses. Both Gale and Katniss has to be interviewed and filmed while being in their District. I feel like there is going to be some sad parts when the capitol and the Rebels go to war, many people might die. But I really hope Peeta and Katniss will be reunited. So far, I'm really enjoying this book. I think it's an amazing book and I would recommend it to everyone. This book makes me think about how life would be like if we lived like how Katniss lives; in districts, sending kids to fight for their life, and going to war.

I like the book so far. I'm almost finished. It's very intense and once you start reading it, you can't put it down.

Tell No One

"Tell No One" is a great book. So far, I like it. It's about a man name Beck, whose wife disappeared eight years ago. Beck gets an email from an unknown email user. There was some information that only Beck and his wife, Elizabeth, knew. Elizabeth been dead for eight years. Beck just think it's a sick joke. But he gets an email of a video. He watches it, and Elizabeth appears on the video just staring at the camera. She finally mouths the words "I'm sorry." She leaves the video and it ends. Beck starts to think his wife is alive. But a couple days before the video, Detectives found bodies that's been dead for five years. The found a weapon that they believe killed Elizabeth. Detectives believe Beck has killed the dead bodies and Elizabeth. The detectives now want Beck arrested. Few more people end up dead, they found the murder weapon in Becks' house. They now have the right to arrest Beck. Beck was working at the hospital, when he got a call from his lawyer saying he was going to get arrested. But Beck got another email saying to meet Elizabeth at a park. Beck couldn't get arrested or he wouldn't be able to see if Elizabeth was alive. Beck then ran from the police, he hid from them, and when he thought they were gone, he started to run but a police officer saw him and got in front of Beck. Beck didn't know what to do, he didn't want to get arrested, so Beck ran into the officers' chest, pushing him to the ground. Beck was able to run free, but he assaulted an officer.
