Summary:  So this section talks about how mark James is still being a total looser.  So as John keeps up with his love for Sarah but his battle with mark has just begun.  So as he battles with mark his love keeps growing.  So at the Halloween block party he meets up with Sam.  Sam starts talking to Johns “dad.”  So as he is talking to him Sam starts saying stuff about how the mogadorians are on this planet and are going to kill everyone here….  So after that they both meet up with Sarah and Emily her friend.  So all fore went onto the haunted hay ride.  When they were walking through the woods a bunch of marks friends grabbed Sarah, Sam and Emily.  Once John brook away from Marks friends he went looking for Sarah.

Quote:  "We met your grandfather at the statue of Pittscus.  He gave you to me and told me to get you to the air field, that that was our only chance.  There was an underground compound beneath the airfield.  He said there had always been a contingency plan in case something of the sort occurred."This segment talks about the day that John left Lorain to come to earth.  His grandfather wanted him to live and that all along there was a plan that would take place if they ever got attacked.  It also talks about how he said goodbye to his grandparents witch evokes a single tear streaming down my face.

Connect:  Ok so this section was very hard to connect.  Well to be honest not a lot happened during this section.  Well I know that he sees Sarah and falls in love and will fit at any means to be with her but really that is the limit that I can think of.  So I guess that this section is like batman.  He has reasons to hate mark (like batman has reasons to hate the joker or any of his other nemeses.) So he loves Sarah and that is like all of those fairy tales of boy meets girl and falls in love.

Summary:  So John finds Sam and he starts running full force towards Sarah.  When he gets there he starts beating up everyone.  He is much stronger than them so it is easy for them.  As he is leaving he tells them that if they tell anyone he will break their arm.  So then he and Sarah fall deeply in love.  So then Henrie goes to Athens to talk to some people but henrie never came home so John and Sam went to find him.  The men tied Henri to a chair and so they untied him and went to go get info.  As they were about to leave when the Mogs arrived and so they jumped out of the window.

Quote:  ""We came to Earth ten years ago from a planet named Loran.  We came because it was destroyed by the inhabitants of another planet named Mogadore.  They destroyed Lorain for its resources because they had turned their own planet into a cesspool of decay.  We came here to hide until we could return to Lorain, which we will one day do.  But we were followed by the Mogadorians.  They are hunting us.””  This is what john said to one of the men that wrote the blog and captured Henri.  This tells what happened that faithful day they came to Earth.  This also gives us a better clue of what john is going through.

Connect:  This connects with all those love stories were the man saves the girl.  Like in Cinderella, or snow white or even sleeping beauty.  It might sound corny but this book is just like a fairy tale.  He runs after her and gives the bad guy (or in fairy tales the evil queen,) so like a gallant knight in shining armor he goes after his love full force as fast as fast as a car.  When he saves her she is over whelmed wt he power and strength and they live happily after.  Excluding the fact that he is being chased by the mogadorians.

The Power of SIX

Pittacus Lore

pages 1-182

Summary-          So this book starts with John leaving Sarah. :(  So 4, 6, and Sam head off to doge the police because they think that 4,6, and Sam are terrorist...  So when they are driving they got pulled over by the cops and well they were wanted for big money so the cops chased them and tried to get them but of course they have powers so they will win.  So as they out run the police then they find a house and at this house they train and become stronger.  As this is going on John starts to fall in love <3.  So as this book works it goes 2 chapters about John and 6 and 2 chapters about #7.  #7 lives in a orphanage that is attached to a church so her “mom” is now a nun.    So as she spends her days going to school and praying and going to her drawing cave she finds her powers. They are telekinesis, bringing plants back to life, seeing in the dark, and breathing under water.  As her life goes on she meets Ella and from there she becomes a big sister to Ella.

Quote-          "As they torpedo down, the helicopter farthest from me jerks upward.  Six is trying to stop it.  I don’t think she will be able to, and I know that I can’t.  It’s too heavy.  I close my eyes. Remember the basement in Athens, the way you captured everything inside that room to stop a speeding bullet.  And that’s what I do, feeling everything inside the cockpit’s interior.  The controls. The weapons.  The chairs.  The three men sitting in them.  I grab a hold of the men, as the trees begin to snap under the weight of the falling copter, I yank all three out.  The copter crashes to the ground." This quote describes the battle between 4,6,and Sam’s battle against the police.  Even though they wanted to kill them they still saved the men in the copters life.  So if it wasn't for them all six men would have died.


Connect to the text-          So the next book, it is like the first in the way that it is very abstract.  But this book will be harder since it skips from the trio (4, 6,and Sam) to # 7, it is extremely hard to connect.  So we will start with the trio.  They connect to fugitive movies the bourn and Salt (never seen Salt just going by what I have heard.)  They are running away trying to defeat the bad guys.  Then there is # 7 her story relates to tangled.  Not in the since of love and wanted to see the lanterns, It is more of a quest to leave the convent and find john.

I Am Number Four By Pittacus Lore

      pages- 250-309

1. Summarize

So this section that I read was about 50 pages and it really focused on John building up his powers and his relationship with Sarah.  So when winter break came around John spent most of his time building up his telekinesis and fire proof.  He is now able to be submerged in fire and not feel anything.  Sam likes Sarah’s best friend Emily so John and Sarah try to hook them up witch works like a charm. So John and Sarah love each other but Henri said that the connection between human and Lorain is not as strong as Lorain and Lorain.  So all four of them go to marks house for a party, as Sam and Emily are making out a huge fire brook out down in the basement.  The fire was so big that there was no way they could save the house.

2. quote

““because deep down we’re different from them.  And we love differently.  One of the gifts our planet gave us is to love completely.    Without jealousy or insecurity or fear.  Without pettiness.  Without anger.  You may have strong feelings for Sarah but they aren’t what you would feel for a Loric girl.””  Said by Henrie page 274.  So this quote talks about Johns love for Sarah.  Another thing Henrie said is that one of the other kids that came to earth was a little girl from johns parents friend that their parents always daydreamed of those two to falling in love and getting married. But John still is in love with Sarah

3. connection with the text

So as I have always said for the last 6 blog posts it is hard to connect this text to others.  So I will connect each segment to a plot in movies or books or a actual movie or book.  So here it goes.   So this part talks about john’s never ending love for Sarah therefore that connects to the love plot in oh every movie I have ever seen.  So then when Henri tells john that he may love her but that love is not as strong as if he loved a Lorain girl.So there is that forbidden love we see in Romeo and Juliet and if you haven’t read that tangled because I think everyone in the whole solar system has seen that movie and cried.
