Kill Alex Cross: Week of 10/21/13

Pages read:115-151

prompt:Differentiate between the main character and your favorite teacher.

      The main character of this book is Alex Cross. He is a very determined man. He's a cop and practically lives his job every second of every minute of every hour of every week. He is married to Bree. She is also a cop so she understands why her husband is always gone. Alex cros can get very agitated at time. My favorite teacher is Mr.Dillon on 6B. He is very funny,witty,and weird. His job is that he is the special Ed teacher. He is addicted to pugs. Whenever he can he will make a profile picture of a pug, buy a pug stuffed animal, or a poster, he lives for those things. He was good friend with Teresa Norris on 6B also.

     Some differences between Mr.Dillon and Alex Cross is their personality. Alex Cross is more serious and stressed. Mr.Dillion on the other and just wants to have fun. Another diference between Mr.Dillon and Alex cross is they have completely different likes. Mr.Dillon lives for pugs while Alex Cross lives for solving crimes. Another difference is that at Alex Crosses job, he has to be strong, brave, and hard. A Mr.Dillon's job, he can be out going. He doesn't have to deal with dead kids, kidnapped people,and the stress of crime. All he has to do is be with kids all day. I think that Mr.Dillon would agree wit me because he has been with kids for so long that it is kind of in his blood. He has grown to kids. He is probably to soft for it now. Like i'm being mean. It takes a while to get used to those types of things you have to deal with as a cop.

One major difference between Mr.Dillon and Alex Cross is their everyday schedule. Mr.Dillon has to get ready in the morning, Get to school, teach kids, eat lunch,teach again then go home. He is only there for only 7 hours to.Alex cross gets up at the crack of dawn, go to work, get orders, got place to place, talk to strangers, call people, squeeze in lunch, then redo the last four. He does this all day !!!  Mr.Dillon is only working for 7 hours. Alex cross work practically 24/7.

Prompt:Draw an interpretation of the passage – may be a picture, symbols, graphic
Pages read:83 p.g. - 115 p.g.
 
     This is a symbol of what I have just read. It is a question mark because there are so many mysteries. Are the presidents kids still alive? Is the water safe to drink? Why were the kids kidnapped? This is a symbol especially for this summary because all they are doing is answering these questions. Trying to crack the case.
   
     A question marke represents all types of books because there is always a problem in a book. Always. Would it be fun if you read a book where you smiled all day? No! That would be completely boring. What's the whole point? Questions represent mystery books because that is what a mystery is completely about. But usually there is a huge problem and most of the time it is about a crime. That is why Kill Alex Cross is a mystery. All you are doing is solving a case. A case of the missing kids and water/deaths.

Pompt:Do you like what you’re reading? Why or why not?

     Do I like what I am reading? Yes, I love my book! It is usually really hard for me to find a book I like. I used to hate mystery but i always thought of it like "Sherlock Holmes" book. He really bores me. I read one book and for some reason i couldn't realize that the genre was mystery. When my mom said it was a mystery book, I just thought to myself " I hate mystery, why would I read a mystery book?" I then realized that i love books about serious things like, and i know this is weird but I like these types of books, abduction, terrorism, suicide, death, etc. I like these mysteries because I love solving the story of how it happened and feeling like I am the one trying to crack the case.  Kill Alex Cross is a really good book for me to read because it has to do with terrorism & abduction.

     Alex Cross, the main character, is a really tough person to crack. He will not get of a case even if he is told. Since the presidents kids are missing, he is kept in the distance because the FBI, and the Secret Service want's the whole case around them. Even when he is told this he is stubborn in a good way. He stay on it anyway. Also this book has terrorists. When they enter the country they seemed like happy little tourists wanting to go see the White house and the Smithsonian. But no!  They are here to kill all of Washington DC. They are going to poison the water. That is one reason why I love this book so much. We get to see two major problems in the USA happen. A Kidnapping and a terrorist attack.

     The last reason I love this book is because of the cops in the case. They are just so cocky and stubborn. I mean they have missing children, Special children in fact,  and a terrorists and to show off they push away their help. sometimes i just want to yell at my book. "Why aren't you getting all the help you can get. Alex cross, on the other hand is not like this. He will be stubborn but because he is trying to crack a case. The FBI want's him on he case but kid of trickle him on the full class. He knows what they are doing and kids of takes matters into his own hands and does a little work on his own, but still stays with the FBI to get the most information at one time. Also you get kind of get a good look into a cops work day. They are sometimes just staring at reports and videos, and pictures without having the slightest idea.

     These are the reasons why I love this book.

The True Love's Fate 10/8/13
