In the book The Lost Star by H.M Hoover i learn there is always something to be scare of i find this ironic. Lian discovers some creatures that she hasn’t never seen in her life also she gets scared and this took place in the wild where there is wild animals too or creatures that people haven’t seen only heard about it in stories. A young scientist . smart but questioning her place in universe.A crash on an extra-terrestrial. Also the things she sees is not the same as what she knows. This book is science fiction. I think the author did this kind of them on the character to make her stand out and what she does on her young age. I think the author chose to write about this because it brings attention to readers.I chose this book because the summary on the back brought my attention. the first 2 pages were interesting so i kept on reading this book. I didn’t find the book realistic because it talks about extra-terrestrial. Yes i made connections on the static character because she is brave and willing to do anything. To get what she wants. The author’s tone is science, deaths, and man vs creature. This book has literary elements was foreshadowing on page 94, flashbacks on page 67, ironic when she see lands close to the extra-terrestrial, and thats pretty much it of the elements.
The character is brave and smart. At first she is cared and then when she gets the hang of it she gets used to it and doesn’t get scared that much. The character is dynamic because she grows to be smarter and brave at what she is doing. From the beginning the character Lian was a different character but at the end of the book she has changed and i feel like a met a different character.
Two ideas from this book is to take precaution and be safe. My two idea is to be smart on doing something and have courage to do something that is good as well. Also i will remember this for a long time because you need these ideas to be in a good life. My importance is that never stop trying on being good in life and to try something new. I mean a lot of people may have courage that other people don’t have and they could be smart or could study on being smart that way you could know alot of things that most people don’t know.

Persepolis Essay
Persepolis
Johan Bennett thinks the novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrap should be banned from the public
schools.He thinks it should be banned because it contains suicide,sex,drugs,deaths, and killing in this
book. In my opinion is that he don't know how their life might be like. Sooner or later the students are
going to realize how life really. (9,6). This book is a great book to read!
For example they might grow older and start getting how things are in life. They might have the
knowledge to know how things are by the age they read this. It could prepare them if they have to
struggle in life making something out of their life. Also they might have already been through what the
book is saying about the author's life. Also the real world is full of people judging, talking crap, and
bulling.
Another example is that what if they want to know how people's life are in Iran. This book is
great for that. They could find what they need, also compare it to their life. They could know how
things work out. On page 53, panel 9 you could see how god was there to help and they might do the
same. To know whats good and bad.
Finally is that the book shows how not to live life. Also there is challenges in life and this helps on
how learn from the mistakes she made. To never give up even though thing don't come the way you
want it. Struggle is real and it happens to everyone. This shows the right way to be in life.
So this book shouldn't be ban. Bennett showed good reasons, but then kids don't stay kids they
grow fast. Also they will get how life can be a struggle. I personally think that this book is great to
read! In that case it should not be banned.
