Spongebob as Shrek

It is a muddy and rainy day in the swamp. Just how sponges like it. Just as he came out to take his daily swim in his so called pond a wild donkey came running up to him and said

 "Hey Shrekbob how's it going?"

Shrekbob replied 

"Not too shabby i was just going to absorb some water from my pool."

Donkey responded

" You call that a pool? That is a puddle of rain that is full of mud!"

Shrekbob responded

"It is good enough for me. This is all I need."

Shrekbob and Donkey went back into town. As everyone knows no one likes a sponge so Shrekbob really doesn't have many other friends besides the other mystical creatures that live in the swamp like Donkey, the donkey that talks, the three blind mice who always get into trouble because they are blind and the 3 pig brothers. So when Shrekbob walked into town and saw all of his friends being rounded up into one group he was very confused. He walked up to the guy who was rounding them up and said

"What do ye think you're doing with me friends?"

The guy replied 

"We are moving everyone out of the swamp and building a Burger King!"

Shrekbob was furious when he heard him say that. He gathered up his friends that lived in the swamp and walked back to his home. When they got back to Shrekbob's house he stood up on one of the tables and said to everyone

"We are going back out there tomorrow and are going to show that guy what we are made of

The pigs replied

"You are the only one they are scared of Shrekbob"

Shrekbob proudly said

"Then I will be the one who fights the man who thinks he can take our land away from us."

The next day Shrekbob and his small army went back into town and saw the guy with some bulldozers heading for the swamp. He knew what he had to do so he stepped out in front of one of the bulldozers and said

"If you are going to destroy our homes you are going to get past me first."

The man drove the bulldozer strait at Shrekbob but Shrekbob was ready. He picked up the machine and threw it in to thhe horizon with the man in it. The rest of the crew begged for mercy. Shrek said to them

"I will do the same things to you guys if you don't do what I say."

The crew members all nodded and said they will do anything.

One Year Later

Shrek and Donkey are lying right by a inground crystal clear pool. Shrekbob says to Donkey

"Is this a real pool now?  

Trojan Horse

Author's Note: In this short response I will be analyzing the differences from the real story the Trojan Horse and the parody of the story.

In the story, "The Trojan Horse", the Greeks are in a long war with the Trojans. The Greeks have been forced to stay out on the beaches and fight because the Trojans have a giant wall guarding their city which was guarded at all times so they couldn't get into the city. So the Greeks thought of a brilliant idea and moved all of their ships to the other side of the island to make it look like they left and brought a horse and 1 man to the wall. The man said this is a gift for all the troubles we have called. Take it as a gift and bring it into your walls. What the Trojans didn't know is that Greece's best warriors were in the horse and ready to fight. The plan worked flawlessly and they bought the horse inside their wall. As night came when everyone was asleep the Greek's slid open a secret hatch in the horse and anxious warriors were ready to fight. The Greek's killed the price and captured Helen and made the trojans surrender. The plan couldn't have worked any better.

In the play the Trojan Horse Paris, the prince of Troy captured Helen and one of the gods sent a love spell down on the two of them and they fell in love. Instead of the Greeks going to get back Helen and start a war the gods said that they just wanted to play war. So the Greek's didn't set out to capture Helen back from Troy the gods just made them play war. Compared to the real story this play has the same idea but the overall message is different. The gods don't actually use their real powers in the story they just have fun playing war. And the last big part that was different about the play is that when the Greek's brought the horse in front of Troy the warriors didn't hide in the horse they hid behind the horse.

Legend

Authors Note: In this piece of writing I will be analyzing how trusting people isn't always your best option in the book Legend written by Mary Lu .

It is 10:35 PM and June is in bed sleeping when she gets a phone call which is very rare for her to get one that late at night. She got out of bed and picked up the phone. The lady that was calling June said "Get down to the hospital now your  brother is dead." June was in shock and didn't know what to do. She grabbed her coat and rode her bike to the city hospital. Once she got there they told her that the person who killed her brother was Day. The most wanted criminal in the country. June told herself that she would find Day and bring him to jail. But that was until she met him.

It was a cold and breezy day in the poor sector of Los Angeles and June is on a mission to find Day. As she is walking around she stumbles upon an Skitz fight which is like a street brawl that people bet money on. June watches the first match and sees a talk and broad shouldered girl hurt another girl badly. As the gamblers look to choose a next person to fight they pick out a very skinny and out of shape girl. Instead of letting the little girl get hurt June stepped in and fought for her. June ended up winning the fight but the girl known as Cassandra cheated and used a knife. After the match a teenage boy and the skinny girl came and thanked June for stepping in to help. While they are talking the boy noticed the wound that June had and asked if he could look at it. Once he saw how bad it was he ended up taking the girl in for the nite. Once they started June introduced herself and so did the boy. He said his name was Day.

Although June knew it was him she didn't feel any hatred for him even though June thought he killed her brother. June never mentioned anything about her family because she didn't want Day to find out about who she really is. That night June stayed up thinking about everything that is happening. In the book she says "If Day really killed my brother there has to be a good reason why." When June woke up the next morning she came to her senses and told herself that she had to do the right thing. She called up the police and told them that she found Day.

Once Day was in jail June had a (special) talk with him. They talked about who June really was and who her brother was. After a emotional talk Day said "I couldn't of killed your brother. I needed some medication for my dying younger brother and your brother was on guard. I threw a knife at him and it him him in the shoulder. I just should've been i minor wound." June took that conversation very personally because she loved her brother a lot. Once she got back to her apartment she pulled up the crime scene on her laptop. She studied every picture and description that was on there. The two main things that stuck out to June were this. She saw a little pool of blood and a cut in her brothers shirt right by the shoulder but there was the main wound right by the heart, and there was some kind of black oil on the knife. The same oil here brothers best friend and June's caretaker Thomas had on his hands earlier that nite. After all June never liked Thomas.

As a result of this study June went straight to the police and showed them this and told them her description. The police didn't believe June so instead of going home and sulking she went straight to the prison and demanded to talk to June. Once she was in his jail cell all she told him was "I'm going to get you out of here. You don't belong here."

In the end June broke out Day out of jail with the help of her friends. Everyone trusted everyone in this story except for June and look who ended up being right. Thomos never got punished for what he did because June ran away with Day and Day's friend that June helped earlier in the story. And that is why I think trusting everyone isn't always the best option in this story.

I Am Number Four, Perfect Combo

Authors Note: In this piece I will be demonstrating how the text transfers from the book I Am Number Four to the movie.

Have you ever read a book and later to find out that someone is making a movie on it and thought that this movie was going to be worse than the book like always? That's what I thought was going to happen in the book/movie I Am Number Four written by Pitticus Lore. But to my surprise I thought that they did a fantastic job sticking to the main plot in the book and having most of the senses in the movie too. And that is why I think that text transfers very well in this story.

Although in the book it might describe the characters more well with adjectives in the movie they are exactly what I expected them to be after reading the book. I was also very surprised that they even used some of the same quotes straight out of the book! So here is a brief description on how the book goes.

 John Smith (Four) is one of nine children from the planet Lorien living somewhere on earth with an adult guardian. All nine were sent away to grow up in safety, allowing them the time required to develop special powers called legacies. Here on earth we call that puberty. Once fully mature they are to return to Lorien and save the planet. A charm protects them so that in order to kill all 9 of the children they must be killed in order.

At the beginning of both the book and the movie Three has been killed by the Mogorians.After Henri (John's Guardian) found out that three has been killed he stepped up their security measures and moved from sunny Florida to the not so Paradise city named Paradise, Ohio.

In addition one of the major difference in the book to the movie is when Henri gets a magazine on Mogadorians and goes to the house it was sent out at he gets kidnapped and locked up there. After a chapter or so John and his best friend Sam come to rescue Henri. Once they rescued him they had to make a getaway because three Mogadorians saw them and started chasing John, Sam, and Henri. They made there getaway because John developed his first legacy and teleported them to safety.

This major turning point in the book which I thought was probably the climax was not included in the movie at all. Besides that the I Am Number Four movie was one of the best pictures that had almost perfect text transfer from the book to the movie. And that is why this book and movie series was one of the all time best combinations.

"After You My Dear, Alfonzo"

In the book After You My Dear Alfonzo the mom of Johnny is very racist to his friend Bobby because he is black. Bobby is very wealthy for a black kid. His dad is a manager at an company and gets paid very well. I think that Bobby is understanding what Johnny's mom is saying and thinks it is funny.

In my perspective if i were Bobby i would just take it as a joke so nothing else would get worse between him and Johnny. Johnny's mom is a jerk and is very racist. Her stereotype is very bad. It was a big problem back then. If her son wants to be friends with an African American he should be able to.

To The Thawing Wind

Authors Note: I will be analyzing the poem To The Thawing Wind by: Robert Frost and showing how figurative language impacts this poem.

This poem is basically about hope, with the coming of spring. The author gets your attention in the first line by saying the loud blowing of the wind is bringing spring rain "Come with rain, O loud Southwester!"  Throughout the poem he uses metaphors and personification to enhance the impact of his words.

"Bring the singer, bring the nester" is an example of how he uses metaphoric language to show how a bird is on its way. He gives a flower personification by saying it has the dream of coming out of the ground and blooming, the dream of a new life. He uses rhyming to make the poem move along smoothly as if the melting ice will flow and go.

The tone of the poem takes a strong edge, when he says "Melt the glass and leave the sticks, Like a hermit's crucifix." He is using this powerful hyperbole to make the reader feel the impact of how glass could possibly melt and how a hermit would use a cross to get out of winter.

The overall feeling created by the figurative language gives the reader a sense of both the warmth of spring and yet the cold winds that are blowing the winter snows away. In the last five lines Frost leaves the reader with a confused feeling that the wind is blowing things around in a scattered way.

I feel this poem leaves the reader with a hope that despite the rain and the loud winds there is hope that the dream of spring and flowers is a reality. Even though he uses some strong language such as swinging pictures and rattling pages you still feel that the "Thawing Wing" will bring the dream of new life.

Second Guesing

Authors Note: In this piece Second Guessing I will be showing the theme of Jonah and a few other characters from the book Found

Jonah, the mail character in the book Found written by Margret Peterson Haddix grew up thinking he was a normal kid. Later to find out he was one of 36 kids from history that were brought to the 21 century from time travel. He does not believe this one bit and will not believe what everyone is telling him at all. So now he is on a mission to find out who brought him here and what this is all about. This is why I think the main theme in the book Found is determination.

I think that the main theme in Found is determination because Joanna will not stop until he meats his goal. An example of this is when Jonah says to his friend  Chip " I will do anything and everything to get to the bottler of this". This quote from Jonah clearly states the fact that he wants to meet his goal.

Another quote from the book is when Jonah says to Chip " We will get out of this cave. We will gather up everyone who wants to get out of here and break out." Jonah is one character who never gives up and will always have an idea on what to do to make sure he can succeed.

Another book with the theme determination is Divergent written by Veronica Wroth. Tris the main character in the book is a girl who is protesting and trying to stop the fighting between here people. Se is organizing secret meetings to solve some of the issues with her people. For a girl that is only 16 she is showing a big amount of courage and determination.

After some quotes from the book Found I strongly believe that the theme in the book is determination. In the end of the book Jonah meets his goal and he succeeds what he was trying to do all along.

Theme

In the book The Power of Nine written by Pitticus Lore John and some of the other nine kids left from a planet called Lorian are on a mission to find a evil ruler called Senkturas Ra. Senkturas is the ruler of a evil planet that destroyed Johns home planet. The main theme of this book would be determination because of the fact that every one of the nine kids want to kill Senkturas Ra. Not only is determination main theme in the book The Power of Nine it is one of the biggest themes in the book Mocking Jay too.

Some quotes from the story that support this theme are when John says to Six
"I would rather take my life than let my planet suffer any more."
Because of that statement that would also state that John is determined to get to what he needs to get to.

My biggest reason that I think that determination is the main theme in the book The Power of Nine is because in one of the battles that is taking place in the book John says
"I am determined to catch Senkturas La and when I do I don't know what will happen then."
It states right there that John is determined to catch him.

In the book Mocking Jay Katniss is on a mission to what everyone thinks to kill president Snow for creating the Hunger Games and wont stop until her mission is done. This shows a big amount of determination because she states that she wont stop until her mission is done.

In conclusion I think that both books themes are determination. I support my idea because there are so many quotes and lines from the book that state what there goal is and they will not stop until they meet there goal.

Hatred

Authors Note: In this point of view essay I will be demonstrating two peoples way of seeing the story in the Joh"I  Am Number Four" series.

Imagine running and running away from the same person for about 15 years. Think about the way you would think about that person and what they would to you when they caught you. Well this is what John Smith has to think about every day. He is just a 14 year old boy who wants to live a normal life. But John isn't a normal child. He is one of nine kids from a planet far off in space running from another alien race who wants to kill all of them. The alien race that wants to kill John are called the Mogadorians. Everyone's life would be a lot better if the Mogadorians wouldn't have destroyed Lorien (the planet which John is from) but that is what John thinks.

John Smith's perspective of the Mogadorians are mean, ruthless, and selfish people who want to kill the nine children. As John describes them in the story it makes him sound like the good guy. But what if there was John's race did something to the Mogadorians. The Lorien's could of started this whole war/battle. There is no proof to be found on it but it could of happened.

Because of John's statements in the book like "the Mogadorians are nothing but a cold blooded killer" you would expect the reader to think that the Mog's are the bad guys. It kind of makes the reader feel hatred to the Mog's just like John. One last way to describe Johns feelings is that they demolished an entire school that John was hiding in to find him. 

If the Mog's were telling the story I would expect the readers to think that the Lorien's did something to get what was coming to them. The Mog's perspective on the Lorien's would be more like cowards and babies because they lost the war and now they are running away.

In conclusion both of their perspectives were very different but similear in a way. But I still would have to agree with John that everyones live would be a lot easier if the Mog's wouldn't have destroyed Lorien.

Ark Angel Scene Rewritten

Authors Note: in this piece I will be retelling a scene from the book, Ark Angel after I tell the real scene 

As Alex Rider is sitting in his hospital bed, he got up to go to the bathroom which is right down the hall. But on his way back he saw Three men in the Lobby and overheard there conversation. They said they wanted to see Paul Dreven but it was roughly past 3 A.M. in the morning so there was obviously no visitors. One of the men pulled out a gun and shot the receptionist in the head. That is when Alex knew he had a problem.

Alex decided to take action and switch the two room numbers around and ran down the hallway. As soon as he herd them open the door from the stairway he walked out into the hallway. The men both thought he was Paul. So Alex started running away from them so that they wouldn't hurt the real Paul Dreven. One by one Alex started taking the men out by some simple but effective traps that they ran right into.

I think that this scene would of been better if it was written as this.

Alex suddenly woke up from a terrible dream of him being kidnapped and interrogated he realized that he was safe in his hospital bed. He wanted to go for a walk to get some fresh air to clear out his memory. As he walked down the hallway to he herd some noises coming from the lobby so he decided to go check it out. As he arrived at the lobby he couldn't make out the people that were talking to the receptionist but he could make out some of the words that they were saying. The one main thing that stood out to Alex was, "we need to see Paul Dreven now or you will find yourself dead" and thats when Alex sprinted back to his room. Paul Dreven was the kid next to him. Alex had to think of an idea fast. The best one he could think of was to wake Paul up and run out. So Alex went into Paul's room and woke him up and told him that they needed to go now. He decided to take Paul to the safest spot in the hospital which was obviously out so when they got out of the hospital it was when Alex realized that he was walked into a trap. They were waiting for him there.

Tris, Point of View

While you read the book Divergent is written by Veronica Roth you will see that the story is told in the perspective of Tris Prior. Tris lives a simple life style until she made the risky decision of staying in the peaceful faction of Abnegation to the brave and powerful Dauntless faction. Being in this position is very hard for Tris. She has to adapt to a brand new lifestyle and becomes a different person.

In Tris's view of everything is that everything should be split up evenly and everyone should have there own part. Yet this book is written in Tris's perspective I think that this story could have many other narrators too. The other character that I think could tell the story be Caleb. Caleb is Tris's brother. They are both the same age so Caleb had to choose a faction to go to. Caleb sadly chose the enemy faction of the Abnegation called the Euridute. If Caleb told the story it would just be him talking about how his faction is planning some threat to his old faction and how he could stop the problem. 

The last person that could tell the story would be Jeaneen Mathews. She is the leader of the Euridute. If she told the story everyone that would of read it would think she was Hitler of World War two. The story from her perspective would be her just telling everyone on her plans to destroy Abnegation. The book would would be a terrible story if she told it from her perspective.

In the end I think that there could only be two narrators that would make the book interesting. Those two people would have to be Caleb and Tris. I still believe that Tris is the best fit for the narrator in this book because the author planned it out so well for her to be telling the story.

Compare and Contrast essay

Tris, the character in the book Divergent and Katniss from the book the Hunger Games both have many similarities but they both have many differences. In both of these books the two characters told the story from their own perspective. Here are the similarities and differences between the two characters.

One similarity between Tris and Katniss is that they are both very brave. Here are some examples of bravery which Katniss has demonstrated through out the story the Hunger Games. Katniss has the responsibility of providing food for her family and needs to go past " the fence" which is a fence along each district which no one is supposed to pass. Katniss goes past there every day to get food for her family to eat. That shows a huge amount of bravery. Another example of bravery is that Katniss volunteered for tribute for her little sister Primrose.

Some examples of bravery  by Tris is when she was at the choosing ceremony for the sections, and she slid her hand over the dauntless bowl at the last second because she wanted to learn how to be brave. When she got to the dauntless base, the leaders told all of the new tributes to jump off a roof onto something no one knew about. Tris ended up jumping first into something she had no clue about but it ended up to just be a net. To be the first jumper shows a lot of bravery.

One last similarity between these two characters is that they both care for there families a lot. Katniss volunteer for tribute for Prim because she knew Prim had no chance and it would be to much to handle for her. Tris on the other hand went to go tell her brother in a whole other sector an important message that their mom told to Tris. If she would of gotten caught seeking out and sending her brother the message she could of gotten executed.

The only main differences between these two characters is that Tris falls in love with her teacher/teammate Katniss falls in love with one, Peeta her enemy which she is trying to kill for some part and Gale her ifelong best friend.


In conclusion there are many similarities and some differences between Katniss and Tris. Even though these characters come from two different books they both have the same personality and act the same. In the end I think that Tris and Katniss have more similarities than differences.

Compare and Contrast

For this compare and contrast piece I will be comparing Katniss from the book the Hunger games to Tris from the book Divergent.

Tris:
She is unselfish and does her work on her own.
Tris has a little bit more money than Katniss.
Tris is provided food
Makes friends easily.

Same:
They both come from the same type of living style.
   
 Katniss and Tris are both very brave. Some examples of that is that Tris chose Dauntless and Katniss volunteered to be tribute.

They both love there families. An example is that Tris risked a death to go and tell her brother important message and once again Katniss volunteered for tribute.

Both of them are used to old technology but then they go somewhere and get to use high tech gadgets.




Katniss:
She needed sponcers to make it through so Katniss didn't do the work on her own
She hunts for her own food.
Katniss is the person that feeds her family.
Doesnt make friends that easily.
