As we are reading poetry and looking at various parts of poems, can you notice some of the same figurative language in your independent reading? Using your notes from this week, give examples of each of the parts of figurative language we've been discussing. You may not find all types. If you can’t find any, look at the poem you put on the moodle or the lyrics to your favorite song. The chart attachment is at the bottom of this page 'Week 5 Blog', use it to set up your blog.
When reading my book outside of class I notice figurative language inside the text. There was personification on page # 10. It said "A harsh wind whistled and moaned at Jabbas palace." I had also found a simile on page # 57. It said "the yellow droid eye looked like a blazing sun." These where the only ones I found.

week#4 book blog
We've been looking and studying how we relate to our characters and the real world around us. Now it's time to put yourself into your character's shoes. Thinking about the main character of your book, consider what you would do in their situation. 1. What would your reactions be? 2. How would you handle the situation? 3. What would you do differently? Be sure to use complete sentences and EVIDENCE to support your thinking.

The main character in my book is Luke, Callista, dorsik 81, Kip Duran, admiral Daula, Durga the hutt, and general Lemisk. I will Have to pick one main character and that is Luke's character. He fell in love with a Jedi woman named Callista. When he rescued her from the Eye of Palpition she lost her connection with the force, so he promised to help her get them back. I think if I fell in love with Callista I would help her find her Jedi connections just like he does try too. So he goes on a trip with her that is supposed to by alone time to learn and study why she cant get in touch with the force again but she thinks it is to romantic so he ends up taking her to where he learned the ways of the force.If I was in his shoes I would not have tried to be romantic I would help her find her powers and then be romantic and would have taken her to hoth where he grew the most using his powers. When the landed on hoth and herd screams I would have charged in there with my lightsaber and cut up the snow monsters,not walk slowly and calm like he did. This reminds me off the filth movie when he was always calm during a battle. During the battle I would have gone around cutting people up instead of being calm like he was. When they finally arrived on Yavin 4 I would have done exactly what he did which was gather all the Jedi and attack the Imperial ground forces. I guess that Luke and I would act different in some situation but act the same in others.

week 3 blog
Star wars:Darksaber
So far in my book there has been three problems. The first problem was that Durga the Hutt was building a ship that could blow up planets. I know this because he say " I will destroy the worlds of the republic by blowing them up with my new ship." They first ordered general lemesk to find computer cores. When lemesk finally did durga had bought so cheap of computers hat he could not fix them. Lemesk did not tell Durga this and finished building the ship. Princess Leia had noticed that he stole the death star plans and pretended not, meanwhile she moved half of her military near the Hoth system where Durga was building this super weapon. She pretended to have political meeting so she could put a tracker on his ship to find exactly where it was. she sent in a team of black ops to damage the ship. they damaged the ship but got killed. Lemesk fled the ship and was captured before it blew up. It blew up because the ship tried to shoot its laser canon at the other ship and the computer cores backfired.
The second conflict was the problem off the woman known as admiral Daula. She was tired of all the war lords that controlled the once great Empire having a civil war and invited them to come together and swquash the Rebel Alliance. when all they could do was kill each other she killed all of them and took control of the empire to reunify it. She took in millions of solders and gigantic space cruisers. They then decided to let another general to take half the fleet and she would take the other half and go to yavin 4 to kill the Jedi and destroy there base. I knew she wanted to destroy the Rebel Alliance because she Say's that" I will destroy those rebels at any cost." I also connected when she wanted to hate someone with ever possible bit of energy. Two Jedi named Dorsic81 and Kip Duron saw what she was doing and went to the Jedi base to defend it and send a message to the new Republic to come help. By the time they arrive they could only send the signal and would have to fight for a couple of hours by them selves. When they realize it is a losing battle they transfer all there energy through Dorsik81 and force push the hole armada except for admiral Daulas ship. Dorsik 81 died in Kips arms because all that energy electrocuted him. Then luke and Callista arrive and they start winning. After their the Republics navy arrives and blows up Daulas ship and sends it into the yavin sun with Callista and admiral Daula onbord. They both get on excape pods but it doesn't tell you if Callista got out in time.
The last and final conflict was luke trying to help Callista get back her Jedi powers. Callista is a very old Jedi that was trapped in the eye of palpitin for years and when luke got her out they fell in love, and her body is as young as it was when she got trapped but she came out with her Jedi powers blocked, so luke decided to help her reach them again. They first go to the top resort in the Galaxy and then she says it is to romantic so they go to Hoth at the old Echo base. When they reached the abandoned base they find three hunters trapped by snow monsters. I know this is the conflict because they say stuff like" this may be the end, go in peace." The snow monster that leading the attack on them is the one from the fifth movie with its arm chopped of and goes mainly for luke. After the battle they make it to there ship but the controlls had been ripped out and the life support destroyed along with three hunters dead. luke killed his one armed rival and closed the door while taking off with no way to steer, so they sent out a message and the Millinon Falcon ship piloted by Han solo and Leia saved him and Callista and took them to yavin 4 to help in the battle. As you already know they won the battle on yavin 4. So as always the good side wins.

The author places a lot of importance in the characters like how they look dress and smell and if there is a random character in the book he describes you know he will show up later.
