A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Signifficance-
This book shows a great number of diiferent emotions and different ways of writeing it shows courage bravery love and some what passion it shows a good and a bad relationg ship between not just to people but to places this book also shows a little about what we are going to study so it gives me a chance to really reflect on my soon to be learning even before i learn, thats why i think this book is important.

Perspective-
I thought the author was a good wrighter he showed many emotions and also showed how easy it is to do so this book has its good parts and its ok but overall i recomend it one of my favorite parts was when charles is accused of tresion (more in connection). Overall this book is great because of the way the author wrote.

Evidense-
In this book you can already tell that the author wants the book to show great meanings for example and i quote "Lorry assures Lucie that her love and devotion can recall her father to life, and indeed they do." what do you think is going on inside the authors mind? Well i think that the authors point was to keep you guessing at the same time as your sure of the situation.

Connection-
Like in perspective one of my favorite parts was when charles was acused for tresion becasue as he gets in trouble or we think alot of people get into this problem and connect to his case maybe defending or causing more havic inside this big adventure. I think charles conects to me because haveing friends when your acccused is a good thing to have and that happens alot to me.

Supposition-
something that could of changed was the way the author told the story so if he were to change just a little part he would pretty much destroy the story in generel becasue every part of the story is important to be included. And if a part is taken out the story would seem bad

Red Badge Of Courage

Signifficance-
This book is important because it shows even the smallest bit of bravery or courage can get you very far. Henry's reason for going into war was for honor, but when he ran away that showed himself he was doing the oppiset of what he really wanted to do. This book is valuable because it really makes you under stand a whole different side in life , for example sometimes we think life is a breeze but when you think really deep you'll notice its wrong for something we do.

Perspective-
The author of this book i thought was a great writer he really showed me hwo life works how people in civil times are treated how the act how the talk and even how the fight or get ready for battle. I thought this authors style was really effective he made something simple into a big deal

Evidence-
In this book you can already tell that henry's point of veiw in life is simple he needs bravery, It seems henry is a really simple boy but you can tell inside of him he is a very mixed man inside of him you see a person who is lacking bravery is alot of mouth but he is already to learn and help people anyway he can (thats easy, or wont cost him anything)

Connection-
I think this Henry relates to me because he said he wanted a red badge of courage but ended up running away, And somtimes for example when i first started learning how to skate i already asumed that droping in a half pipe would be really easy but as i got closer i staretd to have some second thoughts.

Suposition-
something that could of changed was Henrys fear if he didnt run away he could of been a hero auto matically and this story wouldnt really happen, Another thing that could of changed was his way of talking he just made himself much more afiaird when he started talking to people if he didnt do this he would of been ready for battle.
