Final Blogger Reflection

Click this to go to my best blog post!


That post shows how the main characters interact with each other during the story, and help advance the plot further than it would normaly go. Everything starts off with a chain reaction when two of the characters talk to each other, and it starts a series of events between all of the characters involved in the story, such as Rachel being asked by the President, Zach Henry, to help verify the meteorite that NASA found, even though her father; Sedgwick Sexton, is Henry's opponent in the presidential race; and he strongly dissaproves of NASA's recent history. But Rachel agrees to Henry's request due to a dislike of what her father is doing.  They also develop over the cource of the text by gaining new knowledge based on things they learned being caused by the reaction that started at the very begining of the book.


Some goals I have for the next trimester in terms of reading, is to better understand things like vocabulary and diction better than this trimester, as those were two things I struggled with the most this Trimester. I think that I can also build apon what I have learned this trimester more in depth and to go closer into details about them. In terms of writing, I would like to be able to write things with all of the elements we learned about this trimester. I would also like to be able to make a piece of writing that includes more descriptions and lots of litilary elements. One area I would like to improve both in reading and writing is using diction.

Book recommendations

After reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, I would strongly recommend reading any of his books, like "Digital Fortress", and "The Da Vinci Code". Dan Brown is an amazing author and he writes books that are very descriptive and wonderful. I would also recommend reading a type of book where secrets are being kept from the main characters, and someone is trying to stop them from learning about it, like "Trust" by Tim Metty. All of these books are amazing creations of their authors, and it is definitely worth checking them out to read!

Review of "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

Overall, I give the book "Deception Point" by Dan Brown a 9 out of 10. I gave it that because it was a book that always kept you on the edge of your seat, and made you want to read it again. I did that quite a few times with the ending. I would strongly recommend reading this book If you want to read a book that can keep you awake all night reading it. It is "that" good of a book. Seriously. It is!

If you would like me to answer any questions about the book, I will be more than willing to answer them. This book is definitely one of the best books I have read, and it leaves you hungry for more (in a good way).

What I think is going to happen next in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

So far, in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, Rachel has been whisked off to the Arctic Circle to look at a meteor that crashed into an Ice flow, and has something NASA is excited about on it. What I think NASA might be excited about is maybe saying what the Earth is actually made of, or maybe some new element that has never been discovered before, and only comes from the deep reaches of space. Im not really sure what Is going to happen, but I Think it might come between the two people in the election for the president of the United States, but anything could happen. I know that something is going to happen with the meteor, though.

Characters in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

There are a vast variety of characters in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. Some are crazy, some are scandalous, and murderous. There is a big contrast between the characters battling an uphill challenge for the presidency of the United States between Sedgewick Sexton and Zach Henry, and they eventually drag many other characters into their conflict for the presidency. Here are a list and some descriptions of some of the main characters.

.Rachel Sexton is the daughter of Senator Sexton and she is not on his side during the race for the presidency and is trying to cope with her father cheating on other people and taking massive amounts of money illegally for his campaign. The president, Henry, wants to use her against her father to help promote a discovery made by NASA to help his side stay in the presidential race.

.Michael Tolland is a researcher that Rachel meets when they arrive at NASA's base on an Ice Flow in the Arctic Ocean. He is the head civilian scientist in charge of verifying NASA's breakthrough discovery that could change the world forever.

.Sedgewick Sexton is a Senator who is running for the presidency, and has the popular vote. He mainly has it because he plans to abolish NASA and use its funding to help kids get better education and help the country, instead of sending fifteen million dollars into space every year to fund the ISS and other projects like that, saying the country would have better uses for the money. He also has been bribing many public space exploration companies, saying that if they fund him, he will do away with NASA and let them do whatever they want in space, with no problems.

.Zach Henry is the current president, and he is a strong supporter of NASA, which he believes is on the verge of a new discovery, and which will get more people to be on his side, after saying that NASA should not be funded any more, and that they should be privatized. He feels like Rachel can help him with getting more support and to keep her dad from being the president.

All of these main characters connect with each other in the text, starting when Sedgewick Sexton wants to talk to his daughter, Rachel, about what he will do as president, and then says nonsense about NASA. When Rachel leaves, President Henry wants to talk with Rachel about NASA's discovery and to keep her dad out of office, and when she arrives at the Arctic base, Michael Tolland is showing her what she needs to know about NASA's discovery.

Tone and Mood in "Trust" by Tim Metty

The tone in "Trust" by Tim Metty is supposed to be serious and sincere. It is that because the main characters are trying their hardest to find who they are looking for. They keep looking until they find what they are looking for, and i is said specifically to the reader what they are trying to do.
The mood that I get from reading "Trust" is a scene of bravery, courage and accomplishment. evidence form the text is where it says "I hopped of the balcony into the fire and ran through it with ease."

A particular moment in the novel that swayed the beliefs of the characters was when Nicholas told the others he was the one they were looking for all along, and everyone believed him when he said it the first time. His tone impacted his persuasiveness by saying what he said in a bold, strong tone and he was believed because of that, and events that happened during the time he realized he was the fourth.
