IRU 2

       In the book Night Circus the author changes the narrator a lot of times I believe this is because she wants us to see the view of more than one character. I like getting the perspective of more than one person in the book, it makes it more interesting in my mind. You get the perspective of Celia, The man in the grey suit, Prospero the Enchanter, etc.
       I think the author chose to write from more than one characters perspective because she wants it to be more interesting and for the readers of this book to be more interested in reading the book. The way she changes the narrator is almost every chapter and then she'll change it to another it is very interesting.

IRU 1

          In the novel Night Circus there is a quote from Oscar Wilde who says "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world". The person in the Night Circus that is said to be the dreamer is most likely Prospero the Enchanter because he dreams about his daughter being a great magician like he is. He wishes she will follow in his footsteps. Prospero tries to make sure she is the best magician and is confident she is already one of the best at such a young age.
          In the Night Circus there is also a punishment for the dreamer. In this story I believe that Prospero is the dreamer and that his punishment is that his daughter is falling in love with her competition which makes it harder for her to be the best magician. This is the only punishment I know of so far in the book.

Independent Reading Unit

For my independent reading unit I would like to read Lockdown because this book sounds interesting and adventurous. Its about a boy who got convicted of something he didnt do and now is in the woulds safest most protected prison and its a mile underground. He and some other innocent inmates try to escape this deadly prison in chase of freedom. This is the only book I want to read out of the list because it is the only book that sounds interesting to me out of the books. Im anticipating a good interesting read.I believe that it will be action packed and full of amazing things.

Alternate Ending

In the trial the judge could do no other but let Tom Robinson be innocent because what he had heard that day was nothing but the truth because Bob Ewell had beaten and raped his daughter Mayella.  Bob was so furious that he jumped up out of his seat and ran towards Tom but guards protected Tom from Bob. Bob would be sentenced to 12 years in prison. People were furious and protesting the decision of the judge for several hours after the decision.
          The next few days were horrible some angry white drunk men were in a bar with the judge and they ended up chasing the judge out of the bar and killing him. The next day Atticus told Tom about it and this scared Tom. Tom didn't know what to do. Atticus told Tom to leave town because he wasn't safe here. Tom and Atticus were both lost for words, but they both knew Tom needed to leave before something bad happened.
          The next morning around 4:30 A.M. Atticus took Tom out of town so he could live safely and peacefully for the rest of his life. Tom got his few things together and they took of for Charleston together. Tom and Atticus exchanged some words when they got to Charleston and then Tom thanked Atticus for everything he had done and then they said goodbye.

Bravey and Courage

I believe Atticus is the most couragous person in the book for shooting a dog because not a lot of people could just go out and shoot a dog. Another brave character is Jem because he adventures off in to Radleys yard,andmaybe get caught or even hurt. Jem also has a brave moment when he has to read to Ms. Dubose, and he thinks she is evil so he has to overcome that thought. Someone in real life that is very brave are people that protect us like firemen, police, and the Army. These people fight to protect and save us everyday, that is why I think they are brave individules.

Great Depression and the Dust Bowl

In the 1930's farmers were usually safe from the great depression because they could feed themselves off their own food. Unfortunatly, during the great depression the great plains were hit hard with drought and huge waves of dust that would kill some people and destroy  their crops. When the dust storms damaged the crops, not only could the small farmer not feed himself and his family, he could not pay back his debt. Banks would then foreclose on the small farms and the farmer's family would be both homeless and unemployed. The Great Depression was a massive crash in the economy resulting in the United Stateas going into prosperity. This Depression lasted til 1942. This lack of consumer spending caused additional businesses to cut back wages or, more drastically, to lay off some of their workers. Some businesses couldn't stay open even with these cuts and soon closed their doors, leaving all their workers unemployed.
