"Every Soul A Star" by Wendy Mass

     This book is about three main characters. You can see the story between three perspectives. The main characters are Ally, Bree, and Jack. During the book it tells you that they are all different in their own ways. Ally loves astronomy and lives in the middle of no where at a campsite. Bree is beautiful and makes her self believe that is all she is. Jack is a boy who isn't very social able and would rather be drawing or reading than hang out with friends. Through one place they meet and develop unlikely friendships. Although they might be different they all share something in common, their love for space.

"Mother to Son'' by Langston Hughes

   

     The theme of "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes is that you have to keep going in life even when it gets hard. The poem says, for example, "So boy, don't you turn your back./ Don't you set down on the steps/ 'Cause you find it's kinder hard." This quote shows that, when life get's hard that you have to keep going and fight on. It says that even if you don't want to keep going, you have to. If you don't then you won't get anywhere in life, and will never accomplish anything. 

     For the 15 Day Challenge I have been very successful and have only missed one day. I only missed that day because I was volunteering the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago. Other than that day I have been very successful because I write everyday. Now I am writing  about how the main character lives after the catastrophe. Sometimes I almost forget until the very last minute.

  

The Theme of Sparky

     The theme of "Sparky: By Earl Nightingale" is that you should be yourself and to keep trying.  The text says, "He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser. So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons. He described his childhood self- a little boy loser and chronic underachiever." This quote says that when Sparky got rejected he didn't give up. He also decided that instead of portraying other people in his cartoons that he would portray himself. This followed for him to belief in himself, even if it was just a drawing.

     For the 15 Day Challenge I decided to write a short story. To do the challenge, every night I write a part of my story even if it was just a little bit. It has been difficult because I sometimes don't even know what to write about. To figure out what to write I sometimes have to think of other books and put some ideas into it. I also sometimes forget, so at the end of the day I have to do it.
