Then they found an ax and the chopped it down and the dad went down because the boy was too scared, the dad smelled something disgusting and then saw that there were people naked and with limbs chopped off and realized that this was a cannibal house. The boy then said that people were running to the building and the dad ran up assuming that they were the ones that own the building. They ran out of the building and escaped the area. After that

They have an old ripped up map that helps them know where they are but its very hard to use. Also the gets flashbacks of his wife leaving them and leaving behind the only picture he had and when the boy was born. Then a truck with people they call they and so the man and the boy hide in the woods, there truck then breaks down and one of the group finds the two hiding and grabs the boy but then the father shot the guy in the head and the ran away. This book reminds me of a show called supernatural and the reason being that there is an alternate universe in the show and one of them is a place were it is a war filled place and the planet is dark and destroyed. In the world today I see a few aspects of this book such as the fathers care and protection of the boy.
I will be commenting on Colins and Mariahs DP For my book I am reading the road and so far based on what I read the environment is burnt destroyed and to ash. The setting is hard to tell as of what continent they're on but they are heading south for the winter or else they will die. I think this books plot is a father and a son travailing through this apocalyptic destroyed world trying to survive with barely anything. I don´t think that I have ever read a dystopian novel before and so far I am kind of liking it. As far as I can tell this is based on earth, burnt through into an apocalypses earth but still earth, however I do not know what time period this is.

¨Teachers get baseball bats to confront shooters in Pennsylvania district¨ Christina Caron This article involves the school superintendent of Millcreek Township school district, William hall defending the plan of handing teachers bats to defend themselves against school shooters. It also involves the parents disagreeing with the idea and trying to either get stricter gun laws/ban guns or arm teachers with guns not bats. This article explained Pennsylvania's plan on helping to prevent more shootings by giving teachers small bats. William Hall defends the plan by saying "We don't want to be sitting ducks" and "We're not just going to go hide". He believes that the old system is not enough and now there is an option to fight back. The bats all together costs 1,800 dollars and are no match for a gunman with an automatic weapon put as Mr hall said "I think a bat can disarm a pistol with a nice swing." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/11/us/erie-bats-school-shooting.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fus&action=click&contentCollection=us®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=7&pgtype=sectionfront 3/6/2018 0 Comments Current Event Blog #2New York Times, march 5 2018
¨Who Should Be Armed in Florida Schools? Not Teachers, Lawmakers Say. But Maybe Librarians.¨ Patricia Mazzel This article involves the senate because they are making the laws, teachers and school staff because this is discussing who of those two should bare guns. Other people that this affects are the students because some might feel more comfortable and others might feel less comfortable with guns in the class or at school. Rick scott is a governor who argued that schools would not be safer with teachers being armed. This legislation happened on march 5th. The reason it happened was because of all the school shootings and the recent school shooting in Florida. Another thing that pushed them to do this were all the protests demanding for action on this critical matter of school shootings and that teachers should not be armed. The senate decided that it was time to take action on this problem and had a debate on what they should do and they all agreed to not let teachers who work full time in the classroom to have guns however they wanted to keep guns in schools. their solution to this was to arm librarians counselors and coaches no matter how closely they work with students. My opinion on this matter is that we shouldn't be arming school staff but law enforcement who actually have trained to deal with these things and are less likely to attack the students. Something I think would be much much better is to do the same thing as Australia witch is to completely change our gun laws. When Australia suffered from a mass shooting that killed 35 people in 1996 they decided to ban semi-automatic, automatic rifles and shotguns and had a mandatory buy back program for newly banned weapons. Ever since then there hasn't been a single mass shooting in Australia so I think we should use this information that has proven to work to change our laws and help our country just like Australia. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/us/guns-florida-schools-teachers.html article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/us/gun-control-florida.html extra research https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/us/gun-control-florida.html 2/16/2018 2 Comments Week 3: Put yourself in the bookSo far they have just gotten back to their base thing in Brooklyn and with everyone warn out from the battle and sad that everyone at the museum died they just went in their rooms and either thought about what to do or slept. Sadie and her brother carter were both trying to plan out what to do next and with all of the scrolls that had Apophis's weakness gone it was pretty hard. If I were to put myself in this book I think I would get along with everyone because they all seem pretty nice and I usually get along with everyone but the one person I think I wouldn't get along with that well is Felix. He is someone in the group that really only talks about penguins and I think that would get a little annoying. A role that I think I would play in this book is someone that isn't really in the story but more in the background of things because I don't really feel like id be a good leader nor do I want to be one and doing the things theses characters do sounds to heroic.
So far in the book Sadie (main character) and the others were trying to stop Apophis from destroying the building and killing them and then Sadie did a spell and summoned the hardest thing to summon that only one person has done before and that pushed Apophis back into the daunt which is were he was stuck in since ancient Egypt. Sadie's heartbeat stopped for 2 minuets and durring that 2 minuets she saw her mom who is dead and the goddess Isis, they talked for a while and then she talked to the god anubis and then she woke up again, Three relationships i see in the book are between sadie and carter, sadie and anubis, and sadie and walt. Sadie and carter are brother and sister and they always help each other out in tough situations, althogh they do fight and bicker they still love each other and help each other. Sadie and anubis's relationship started in the first book but continues in this one, sadie is in love with him and he sort of flirts with her but it doesn't seem like he loves her. Sadie and walts relationship is kind of the same so she is feeling split between them and walt hasn't shown anything towards her but he might have a little something for her that we dont know about and hes trying to hide.
2/5/2018 3 Comments Week 1: PredictingThe book I am reading is The Serpents Shadow, it is about two siblings and there group using magic from ancient Egypt and in this part of the book Apophis is attacking museums and other places that held the book of overcoming Apophis so that he couldn't be stopped to do whatever he wants. The group went to the only other place with it to stop him but when they got there Apophis arrived and started destroying the building and talking to everyone and why they cant defeat him. I predict that the group will try to look for Apophis but then he will attack them or something else that will effect the world. So far I am enjoying this book because it has a lot of mystery magic and mythology.
