Blog Post 3 - Trevor Yahr - The Transall Saga
My book is called The Transall Saga and it was written by Gary Paulson. I have finished the book. What ended up happening was that he is in the future and he needed to find a way out. The merkon was a evil man that also fell through the light as Mark. Making him from Marks time. But he wanted to kill Mark because he was the King of Transall and wanted it for himself. Mark ended up killing him. The Merkons men chased him all over Transall but ended up finding him where he first came through the light. Just at the moment when they were going to kill him he fell off a rock and the light got him and he went back to his time. He is now wroking on a way to save the world of the the virus. I loved this book it was great. I was pretty powerful in that he had to choose between trying to find his way out or just starting a new life. But he never gave although he was very close and in the end it all worked out. This to me is also the theme of the story to me. I have no questions because they were all cleared uo at the end of the story before the Merkon got killed.
Blog Post 2 - Trevor Yahr - The Transall Saga
My book is called the Transall Saga and it was written by Gary Paulson. So far I am at chapter 34. Currently in the book Mark has meet some very primitive people. He is staying with them in a very primitive town when a more modern people take him and the towns people as slaves. Mark is caught trying to escape and now tied down in the house when he sleeps. Eventually he earn the respect of the family. He the escapes but when he sees a band of Indians he comes back to the City to warn the people of the danger ahead. With this act he earns the respect of everyone in the town and is welcome to but property. He found out that he is one earth. That is all the farther I have got. This is book is amazing. I think it might be the best book I have ever picked up. I cant put it down. The author wrote this book to put some adventure into the everyday persons life. The theme is still no matter what happens you can always prevail. I still think the best character is Mark because he is finding ways to make people think more about him than the average person. “You wanted to live by yourself.” This again is a great quote because it shows that he wanted to do this in the first place but now that its really here he regrets it. Some questions I have are; Is he going to get back to earth, If so how?, Who is the Merkon really?.

I am reading the book Inside the Helmet by Bill Walsh. I have read 3 chapters My book so far has been talking about the quarterback position and about Boomer Esiason and how he has grown as a player. I like the book and it is a good book because its explaining all the positions with great detail from former and current players telling them. The author wrote this either because he has a passion for football or interested in how players think when they do what they do. The theme is what players think when they are playing football. Boomer Esiason because he is the only character I know about and he has grown by the way he plays how much time he puts in and how he sees the game."Quarterback is the hardest position in professional sports". I dont have any questions about my book.
I am reading Inside the Helmet by Bill Walsh. I have now started reading about the running back. They are talking about the running game in the NFL and how the game has switched from running to passing more. I still like this book and it is good because its interesting to hear how the players think when they are on the field. I still believe the author wrote this book because he has a passion for football or curious in how players think under pressure. The theme is how players think when they are in the moment and have to act fast. I like Boomer Esiason the best because he was a great player and is very good at explaining how he played."Yeah! or sometime before when I am breaking through the line Im kind of quiet then boom I bust out of the water." I dont have any questions.
I am reading Inside the Helmet a players view of the NFL by Bill Walsh. I am reading about wide receivers which is my favorite position. So far I have read about quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. I do like this book I like how it describes what they think its really cool to get inside of their head. It is a good book and is worth reading. He probably wrote it because he has always wanted to know how they think when they are running or going up for a catch or reading a defense cause I know I do. Best character is still Boomer Esiason I just find it unbelievable how he can read the defense and how hard he worked to get to where he is and just how fast his brain and eyes work to how fast his body acts. The media asked Michael Irvin in the division championship if he was going to make any great plays and he said "watch this" and walked away. No questions.

In the third and final part of "Maximum Ride" Max find the little girl that she saved earlier. The girls name is Ella and she takes Max to her house to try to heal her injuries. Ella's mom is a veterinarian so she takes Max to the X-ray room and takes an x-ray. The doctor told Max that her bones were fine but she found what looked like a dog finding chip in her forearm. She said that she can't take the tracker out of her arm so she has to keep it in. After Max leaves the hospital and says thanks to Ella and her mom she finds the rest of the group and tells them what happens. They go out to eat at Taco Well and the Earsers (bad guys) find them there. The Earsers cath Max and send her to the same place Angel is at. Max starts talking to Jeb Batchelder, her created, and that's when the book ends. Max is stil my favorite character because she is really tuff and knows what to do in tuff situations. The only question I have that hasn't been answered that that why do the Earsers want Max and the rest of the team?

In the second part of "Maximum Ride" Max, Fang, and Nudge go out to look for Angel leaving Iggy and Gasman at home because Max thinks they are not yet ready to go on this dangerous of a mission. Whileax, Fang, and Nudge are flying to where they believe they are keeping Angel captured, Max sees a teenage girl in trouble. She swoops down to help the girl but gets shot in the shoulder and part of her wing by one of the guys teaming up on the girl. Max escapes but is badly injured. While all of this is going on Iggy and Gasman make a bomb to try to kill some of the guys who took off with Angel. They find the road where the bad guys are driving and place some nails on the road; the first car smashes through the guard rail and falls off a large cliff and the car explodes. Iggy and Gasman hide inside an abandoned log cabin but little do they know the rest of the pack know there in there. The pack sneaks up on Iggy and Gasman but Iggy detonates the bomb and flies through the roof with Gasman. So far I think the book is very exciting, especially for a graphic novel. One question I have is why did Max think that Iggy and Gasman weren't yes ready to go on a mission like this?

So far in my book Mark has went on a trip through the desert hills. He mysteriously fell into a blue which seemed to have either taken him to the future, past, or onto another plant. Currently he is fighting off strange creatures and fighting to stay alive after crashing down from a tree where he was trying tot get food. So far I think its great because the author holds back sooo much information from you and lets you figure out the mystery by yourself. I am also into survival type story so this really fits along great with that. I think the author wrote this because its fun and interesting. I would love writing this book because there is so much that can happen and so many ways the plot line could go. I think the biggest theme the author is trying to make is that no matter what happens if you don't give up faith you will prevail. So far there is only one character. His name is Mark and he seems to have a little bit of an idea as to what he is doing.”Good now what this be.” Mark cut the vine on the package and unfolded the skin. Inside was a bluish piece of glass. Mark was astonished. He’d had no idea these people knew how to make glass. He turned it over in his hand. There were letters printed on the bottom: PRODUCT OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY”. This is a very important quotation because it proves that he is still on earth. He then needs to find out when and how he got there. So far I have little questions other than where is he? and how exactly he got there.
This is Trevor Yahr I dont know what happened.
