Entry 6

Jaxon:
The theme in the Westing Game is information and how people interpret it. It is not just the mystery and how to solve it, but all the conflicts that are going on throughout the novel. Also, when money is involved how far are people willing to go in order to win it. Will people show their true identity or just do anything it takes to win.

Cameron:
The theme of East is that you dont know what to expect. When the bear came for Rose, it was almost a completely random event. Noone except Rose expected to see a white bear, and even Rose didnt even expect to be taken to the castle in the mountain. Another example is when Roses' sister got sick and when the farm lost its crop. The crop might have been from disease or bad weather but the illness was completely random.

Josh:
The theme in the book Code Talker is that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Early in the book, when Ned was in the school of Navajos, men from the military came there. He wanted to join the Marines after that, and wanted to serve his country. Ned eventually joined the Marines, and was sent to training with the Military. Ned became one of the code talkers for the U.S., and was serving his country in World War II.

David:

As he gets out of his safety zone, Bilbo progress into a hero. Defeating a giant spider, escaping with Gollum's ring,and rescuing the dwarves.
