The theme of the castle of Red Tower is freedom, people live with rules from the tower and live peacefully as they are just living a normal life without capped and are obedient to the Tripods. However they are still capped. Another moment in the chapter justify that theme is freedom, Comte and Comtesse treat Will, Henry, and Bean Pole generously, even though they are strange and awkward to them, speak different languages and they are escapees. Even Comte and Comtesse asks them to stay with them and offer him a job as a knight. But if this happened in other town ruler would probably treat them like a beast and let them being capped. All people enjoys together during the Queen of the Tournament competetion. Eloise feels so happy about serving the Tripods ,as if they are going somewhere like heaven. According to couple of snapshot from chapter 6, I can tell you that the theme of the castle of red tower is freedom.

Blog Post 3

Six days ago we had a literature circle discussion, with only 3 people because Brandon was on holiday. There were Austin, Seth and Me.While we were discussing about the significant passages, I wondered why Austin and Seth liked so much about the grenade passage, something kind of mystery. Austin had some kind of weird question, also didn't seem on the topic, which is "Do you think that people fought back against the Tripods?". Seth and I grade as 'zero' because it wasn't creative question and only 2 answers, either Yes or No. But Seth and mine wasn't great neither.Seth's one was something interesting, but not creative, and I forgot. I got one something creative but it also had 2 optional answers, yes or no. Luckily I was graded as 2!!!! The whole discussion wasn't interesting because we had out of topics regularly. I don't want this things to happen next time.

Bean Pole = Zhan Pole.

The name of the boy who rescued Will and Henry is called Zhan Pole, or Bean Pole, he appears from page 67. I think he will help the boys very well during the rest of journey. First Zhan Pole is quite smart, as an example he studied English on his own and he reads a lot of books. He also realized the truth of Capping and what the Tripods are, as a result he decided to have a journey with the boys.

Another thing is Zhan Pole is quite stubborn as well. In page 68 he hang tough with his decision, which also means he is proud of his decision.
During the Chapter 5 he insists to go under the large hole and wins the argument with Will. Since he is smart enough to lead the boys, I am sure that he will lead them to the right way to their final destination.

The White Mountains Post#1

I read a book named " The White Mountains" .
Will is the main character of the book, and he will have an adventure for the rest of the story. While I was reading 2 chapters, I realized something, that he has couple of similarities with me!

First he is quite adventurous, which means he has a lot of curiosity just like me. In the book Will attempts to have an adventure for freedom and The White Mountains, tries to run away from The Tripods. I also like to have an adventure to enjoy my freedom and looking for something that I want. He also opened the drawer where The Watch of his father's is. When I found something that makes me curious, I begin to look about it instantly.

Second Will is kind of selfish like me. The narrator (Will) doesn't tell enough about what he had done bad to Henry, so that tells when he tells someone about Henry. He is only telling whats Henry's fault is.
When I am involved in trouble and need to make an excuse, to persuade the others, I tell them what offender had done wrong.
