The book that I have just finished is The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. The book is about Percy Jackson. He seems like a normal kid but he is actually is a Demigod. Percy is even the son of one of the Big Three. His father is Poseidon, the god of the sea. In a prophecy told long ago that the child of the oldest male god shall reach 16 and lead Camp Half-Blood in war against the Titan King Kronos. The heroes won't get any help from the gods because the are fighting an old enemy. They are fighting Typhon.
In The Last Olympian there are many themes. Like coming of age, heroes, justice, loyalty, survival, and war. But one of the main themes in The Last Olympian is war. I think that one of the main theme is war, because in the middle of the book a war between the demigods and the titans begins. Another reason why I think that one of the main themes is war, is because when Percy was leaving is mom's house and she asked where he was going he had said "“I go to war. . . . Me against Kronos. And only one of us will survive.”
Another theme could be manipulation. It could be manipulation because Kronos had manipulated the son of Hermes, Luke Castellan to be his host. Kronos could not have been able to come back without a host, so he saw an opportunity in trying to trick Luke into being his host because all of the things that has happened in his past. Luke had started to hate his father because he was never there for him so Kronos was able to trick Luke into betraying Camp Half-Blood.

1 Quarter Reflection
For me 1st quarter has been good and bad. 1st quarter has been bad in few ways and good in a bunch of ways. A reason that it was bad is because I got my first detention. Another reason why the quarter was bad is because they now made all the classes 88 minutes long, when they used to be like an 1 hour long. A reason why the quarter has been good for me is because in most of my classes is because I have gotten 3 or 4's in most of my classes. One of the classes that I have gotten a 3 or a 4 is math, which is good because last year I was having trouble with Math last year and now math is pretty easy for me.

Top 10 Books Blog
1. The Last Olympian by: Rick Riordan
This book is my all-time favorite because for some reason the last book in the series is always the best and I like Greek Mythology. This book follows the main character Percy Jackson as has he turns 16 because when he turns 16 there will be a final battle between the demigods/gods and the titans. The book has action, adventure and much more. The author is also really descriptive that it just makes me want to read more and more of his books,
2. The Blood of Olympus by: Rick Riordan
Like the Percy Jackson Series, the Heroes of Olympus series is also about Greek Mythology and it even has Percy Jackson in it. Like I said before I think that the final book in the series is always the best. This time around Percy Jackson and company have to face off against the evil Earth Goddess Gaea.
3. Sorcerers Stone by: J.K. Rowling
This is the book that got me reading, the whole Harry Potter book. The author did such a good job describing this book, that it made want to read more and more of the books. In this book Harry's adventure starts, at the beginning knew nothing about the Wizard World, because he had to live with his Aunt and Uncle who are non-magic people also known as muggles, because his parents were killed.
4. Goblet of Fire by: J.K. Rowling
Harry's adventure continues in the Goblet of Fire, as he is entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. When I first started reading this book, all I wanted to know is what will happen next, or will Harry win the Tournament. This book was awesome but, one of my favorite characters ends being killed at the end.
6. The Cat in the Hat by: Dr. Seuss
This book inspired me to read because before reading this book, I never wanted to read.
7. Berlin Boxing Club by: Robert Sharenow
I like this book because it is about a boy who was being bullied because he was jewish, but he overcame it and started boxing.
8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by: Dr. Seuss
I like this book because it gives the message that everybody has good in themselves, and they can change.
9. The Lorax by: Dr Seuss
I like this book because it shows you that you have to take care of the environment, and it also shows what will happen if you don't.
10. Prisoner of Azkaban by: J.K. Rowling
This book was great because the author did such a good job describing, that I thought that a character that was good was actually bad at first. The book follows Harry, as a murderer escaped Azakaban, who was imprisoned for telling Voldemort where Harry’s parents were hiding and for also killings his best friend.
