I predict that Happenstance will free Umber and get away from Occo (his capturer) who wants Hap too. I think this because Hap got away from Occo last time. Hap has lots of powers like super jumping. Occo has special powers also. His powers could be better so he can get away from Occo most likely. I also predict that Occo will return in the next book (Books of Umber #2 Dragon Games).

Occo might still have unrevealed powers. He also could win and capture Hap and maybe kill Umber. Back in Chapter 11 Occo easily defeated 2 Kurahaven guards at the same time and survived a wooden table followed by a hundred candles. He was also able to attack Hap shortly after, though Hap did get away. In Chapter 27 (The last chapter I read) Occo almost killed a guard named Dodd.

If Hap does manage to free Umber and escape from Occo then they will probably search for WN and run into dragons. I think there will be dragons because the 2^nd book is called Books of Umber Dragon Games. They will probably at least leave Kurahaven otherwise Occo will attack Kurahaven again. The back of the book also says Occo is a supernatural assassin.

I also think Occo might be Brother Caspar. I think this because Caspar was obsessed with green eyed people. He is also not in Kurahaven anymore. So it would make sense if it was him who was trying to catch Happenstance.

In conclusion, I think Hap will free Umber and escape from Occo. Then they will leave Kurahaven and look for WN.

Occo attacks again. The city is trembling in fear. They all wonder who is Occo? What does he want? People running, around the city, trying to get away from the creep. Everyone keeps their children close, running to find shelter, trying to get away from this weird monster attacking the city. Attacking a boy. Hap. Umber and Oates trying to free hap. But the monster, is too dangerous. What will happen next?

This is what I predict. I think that the story books of umber, needs to be a little more intriguing. That’s why I think that Occo will attack Hap again. But why would he attack? Well, my theory is that Occo would attack because the first time, he tried to attack Hap, he got saved by Oates, but the next time he might not be as lucky. I think that Occo is attacking Hap, for one main reason, my reason is that Occo and Hap might be from the same place? Maybe earth? Since this story takes place in another world. Hap and Occo have those green, eyes that are nocturnal. Nobody else seems to have them. Does this mean that they are from the same place? Maybe. When Occo was following Hap and Umber in that boat, it was pitch black, a normal person would have got lost at sea, easily but not Occo he followed that boat till it reached shore. Occo wouldn’t just attack hap, he should have a reason. In the book it said that Hap existed in an ancient law. I think that this might mean something. When Occo first planned the attack, he probably knew that Umber wouldn’t give Hap up so easily. That’s why he planned the attack. In our last section Umber got captured by Occo, maybe he is using Umber to get to Hp. Occo seems so eager to have Hap with him.

My other prediction is that, Umber will go to a different place, and he will have war with them. Why do I think this? I think this because on the cover of the next book. The dragon games, it shows someone on a horse holding a spear, type weapon. I also think that the creators are dragons, since it says dragon in the tittle. In the picture of the front title the dragon’s eyes are blue. This might have some symbolism. This looks like it might be some kind of big war, because if you see in the background there is some kind of big long wall that is brown. I think that this book will be really exciting

This part of the book has really caught my attention, at this moment when Thomas got stung  on purpose  I was like why would he do that, it was very weird because at that point I had no idea what he was going to happen was he going to die live or who knows  .But now I know he  did it for the memories I guess getting those memoriesmeant everything to Thomas because how else would he know who he really is ,don’t forget when you arrive in the glade you don’t know anything not even your name you don’t know what and where you are . I chose this part of the book because the author left you hanging like you didn’t  know what’s about to happen there could be millions ways the book could end personally I think that Thomas well eventually escape but don’t get more wrong the author did a great job of writing that page thumbs up to the author  ,also one of the weirdest memory Thomas had was when he had worked for the wicked “the creators of the maze “ , when Thomas came to the maze it was like 1/1000 of actually getting out of the maze but when he chose to risk his own life just to get back those memory’s  the chances increased a lot higher  because now they know who they are up against and where to go and stuff in conclusion I chose this passage because the author wrote this passage so great that it was like anything could happen to be honest the author left me hanging  .

Fever Crumb wild card post

I really like this following passage…… I like this passage because…..

“Plastic tubes led from his veins, pumping out blood, pumping in chemicals. The robed assistants were busy fitting clumsy-looking metal hands to the armor that encased his arms. His real hands, discarded, stuck out of a soggy basket on the deck, looking pale and stupid and unreal.”

This passage made me cringe. I liked it a lot though, the words the author used. The way it was stated, made it feel more realistic than just a couple of sentences in a book. I had to stop and re-read the passage. It made me feel bad for the character that this happened to. But it also brought more life into the book. It made it a bit more interesting. And if this is the direction the book is heading than I am excited to read more of it.

I also liked this passage because it’s something about the book I will remember. When I finish the book and someone asks how it was, I will remember that part because it stood out for me. I’m disappointed that this passage came at the end of the book. I wish the whole was filled with passages like this. Hopefully you like this passage just as much as I do.

 The feelings I had in Reading “Uglies” were always different. I always had mixed emotions about the book and I always will. The way Tally always fought for her needs while trying not to hurt others amazed me. It left me feeling a bit dazed at how she does put others before herself, but she’ll always still care for herself.

I also felt the hatred Shay started growing for Tally. It made me a little sorrowful for Tally because she can`t control the actions of others. But because of those actions she can`t control, it`s led to Shay hating Tally, and leaving Shay feeling sorry for herself when she should be saying sorry to Tally.

I still feel the awkwardness from the start of the book when Tally visited Peris. It made me upset how Peris’ mind got taken over by the “Pretties”, and became embarrassed, and almost mad, over Tally coming to “The Pretty Mansion”. Also showing the embarrassment and making Tally feel ashamed about herself. This part made my unhappy because Tally’s own best friend made her feel bad about things she can’t control. Peris made Tally feel ashamed of her body and got angry at Tally for risking to not be turned into a pretty, and be banished from the community! Tally risked everything for her best friend, while Peris was furious and wouldn’t ever do the same for his own “best friend”. Some best friend Tally’s got.

Lastly, the feelings I had in reading how David and Tally make each other so happy, made me fill up with hope. It made me fill up with hope and happiness because the relationship they have makes me hope that everybody at some point in their life will have a life long relationship with someone who makes them happy. Everyone deserves a “David and Tally” relationship.

These are all the feelings I had in reading the book “Uglies”. I think everyone should try reading this book, and go through the tornado of emotions that this book causes.

The feeling I had when reading this book were very dramatic. But to be honest the book is not my kind of book, but it’s okay. It’s very dramatic because there are A LOT of cliff hanger. It’s one of those books that really grab you in the story, and you can’t stop reading it. I have another two feelings for the book, it’s very sad and serious. Let us start with the sad part shale us. The book is sometimes RED and hot but sometimes it’s blue and sad. It’s sometime sad and down because you don’t know if someone going to be friends with someone else anymore. Or maybe somebody betrayed somebody and didn’t mean to betray them. And sometimes it’s RED and serious, For example, Let’s say someone is Furious with somebody. It’s very serious, it’s not one of those quirky books that are all silly and happy no, it is very serious. And that concludes my blog.

The Uglies (the feelings I had reading this book is…)

When I was reading this book I thought it was pretty weird because in the society if you turn 16 you had to get an operation to turn pretty and if you’re under 16 you are considered an ugly, but what is ugly to them? Uneven eyes? Pimples? Seems like things that are different about a person is ugly and being pretty is having perfect and other things considered beautiful .But if you’re under 5 years old you are a littlie and live your parents in crumbly Ville. All the Uglies live in ugly ville and the pretties live in pretty ville. When I first started this book I knew it was going to be a utopian society because in our world we don’t separate people just because they are supposedly ugly or pretty. I think this book is showing us that getting plastic surgery to be prettier isn’t everything because in the Uglies pretties just have fun and don’t have to listen to rules but behind the fun the surgery can also go wrong and be ugly. If I lived in a world like in the book, being labeled ugly or pretty id feel bad about it and really want the operation but in the book it seems like everyone is ok with the labeling. Even though this book is a little weird it tells you a really good message that being good looking isn’t as great as it sounds because if you happen to get plastic surgery things might not go as planned. I think this book is also about true friendship because in the book peris, Tally’s “best friend” is a pretty and it looks like he still cares about Tally but it seems like he is embarrassed by her but when she turns pretty he will like her more. Do you think that’s a true friend?
There is also a girl named Shay who tally meets doesn’t want to turn pretty so she runs away to a place called smoke she first asks her if Tally wants to go but Tally refuses to go because she actually wants to turn pretty. But when Tally realizes she has a choice between finding shay…Or not turn pretty at all could change her perspective about turning pretty for good, getting plastic surgery can get UGLY.
