Scream for peace<3! Jump For joy! :]
I read an article about the temple stampede that killed 168 people in India. This was caused by overcrowding because there was more than 12,000 people gathered at the temple to celebrate a festival. They know that at least 168 people were killed in the stampede. The stampeded began because of a false rumor of a bomb spread among the crowd. The people thought it was true because there has been a lot of recent bomb attacks in India. They say that this wasn't the first time a stampede has happend in India. In august there were 145 people killed when rumors of an avalanche sparked a stampede at a hilltop temple in northern India.
Doc Homer and Codi have similar characteristics but they don’t interact with each other in the book but as we read it seems to change. Codi seems to very forgetful about her past. She forgets that she almost killed herself in a flood trying to save coyote pups but she had to be reminded by Hallie in a letter “remember we found those abandoned coyote pups, and the river was flooding”. Doc Homer has Alzheimer’s which makes him forget what’s happening but he always refers back to what’s happening to his past. They both seem very lost about things in life. Codi and Doc Homer both went to medical school however Codi never finished medical school she only did 3 years of medical school, but she is very intelligent she teaches biology at grace high school. They’re both caring in many ways Codi has saved Emelina’s baby from choking and she offered jack (the dog with the green bandana) some lamb chops at the fiesta so he didn’t feel left out from the party. Doc Homer cares about the people around him. He gives Codi blue pills when she had her miscarriage and he yells at Rita Cardenal for not eating right when she was pregnant with twins. Doc Homer is strict he has certain rules that Codi and Hallie need to follow but sometimes they break the rules. Codi seems to be very out of place about where she belongs or where she wants to be. Doc Homer is just out there half the time he doesn’t know what the person is saying because he always refers back to his past.
A book that I have recently read was Hope was here by Joan Bauer. It’s about a regular teenager who travels places with her aunt who works as a cook and ever since she was a baby she lived with her aunt because her mom wasn’t ready to be a mother, Hope and her aunt move around and her dream is to be a perfect waitress just like her mother but she wants to be a better waitress than her. Since she moves around so much it’s really hard for her to fit in. The author provided this thesis by having the main character move around to different places, restaurants, towns, schools, and whenever she has to get everything out she puts it all out on boxing. I agree with the characters position in the book because at a point of everyone’s life they either feel out of place or they don’t belong where they are in their life. I would feel out of place too if I had to move around like a nomad searching for new jobs. It’s like starting all over again. I liked the piece because it had an interesting concept and it had an attention grabber. I never wanted to put the book down.
