Myths

I preferred Daedalus and Icarus. I found it more interesting because Daedalus and Icarus got trapped in a maze that Daedalus had made. They had to hurry if they wanted to get out alive because they had a Minotaur chasing them. Both the stories had emotion and pain/rage. They also had bad but not good endings.

Who is fun, sporty, awesome, caring, respectful and kind.

Who is a brother or sister of Emma.

Who loves sports, drums, cats and family.

Who feels happy with friends and family and my cat Bella.

Who needs friends, food, humor and love.

Who gives kindness, respect, honesty and help.

Creation Myth

The End Is Near

The piece that I am most proud of is my Ancient Egyptian Dairy. It took lots of effort and lots of research. I was a big challenge for me because my weakness is writing. We had to do 3 dairy entries each had to be over 1000 words. This was the one piece I did that I am most proud of.

Some of the greatest challenges I have completed is maps testing and tic tac toe. Map testing is where you do a big test of the computer it takes along time and you answer about 50 questions if you get one right it takes you to the next level. The tic tac toe is three things that you have to complete in three weeks but you are in a group of three. Example: for my tic tac toe I worked with radika and julian. We chose to do a power point, 2 dairy entries and a mobile. Those were the two main challenges in 6th grade for me.

This year I learned about my self I learned that I am the letter oo for my profile that means I should sit near the back on the left side and It means that I distract a lot of people when I am board so thats why I should sit near the back. I also learned that I like to work in groups and I always need something to do.

For my behavior I would say I am satisfactory for my participation I would say I would be satisfactory, for my organization I would say I could need improving and for effort I put in what the teachers expect.

One of my goals for 7 grade is to make a big effort to do more of what the teachers expect. I chose this goal because it is hard to achieve but not to hard. I also feel like I need to put more effort in.

My second goal is to be organized most of the year. It will help me with my work and time.

some of the advice I would give to the class of 2018 is if you have trouble with your locker. It would only be for 3 or 4 days. Also The teachers are not scary until you get to know them.

Letter to Mum and Dad

Dear Mum and Dad,

You are probably wondering why I ran away and where I am. I ran away because I didn't want to be capped. I found out that you don't have to be capped if you really don't want to. There is a way to be free, but it takes a lot of courage. You need to go to the White Mountains and there you will be not be capped, but I can not reveal the information on how to get to the White Mountains. I am very sorry, but I can't say where I am just in case this letter is discovered by the Tripods; they would kill me. Since you guys are capped you would not know this, but you had freedom before and it all got taken away when you were capped. I don't want that to happen to me. I miss you and try not to worry about me; I am safe and Henry is with me too.

I have learned a lot of things on my journey to wherever I am. I think I made the right decision. I am happy that I have made it and having freedom is great. I had a great adventure and I am proud of myself of having the guts to take a massive risk.

Yours sincerely,

Will

Freedom

The quote on Pg 111 relates to freedom. reason that it relates to freedom

The first one reason is when Will comes into the castle and gets taken care of and sees everyone doing their job well, they know where there place is in the castle, they know what to do and they look after each other. They all have kindness, respect, bravery, power and are strong. What is the point of all this if they cant use it. They cant use it because they are Capped, and when you are Capped all your freedom and choice is taken away.

The second reason is being capped. Capping takes your choice away and your freedom. The people in the castle want to be capped they think it shows that they are turning from a boy to a man or from a girl to a lady. Will isn't Capped so he thinks differently he dose not want to be capped he thinks it is going from freedom to slavery. His freedom is to be in the White Mountains without being Capped. People have different thoughts of freedom. For example Will looks at the knights and thinks they are big, brave and strong but they cant say that because they have no choice.

White Mountains

The Tripods put these caps on your head when you are 13. They put the caps on your head when you are 13 because it is a celebration from a Boy to a man or from a Girl to a lady. The Tripods control you by the caps on your head. They take away your creativity, freedom, life and all the other stuff you can do. You would end up having a boring and simple life. The Tripods also erase your memory, so you wont remember anything you did before you are caped. Will had lot his only good friend he trusted, and when he tried to talk to him about freedom and stuff about the Tripods. Jack would be clueless and would not be interested about anything they use to talk about, that really makes Will think that he will do anything to not be caped.

Will loved being in the castle he was living a comfortable life. There was one thing that made him stressed or angry, it was that everyone is capped and he couldn't talk about anything he wanted to talk about. For example he couldn't talk about the capping or Tripods or the pocket watch. He must of found it was very quiet. There was also not much to do.Quote pg 108 " I suppose I was a little confused still." "I said." "Then they might help us!" "Beanpole shook his head, sunlight flashing from his lenses in front of his eyes." "No after all they are capped." "They have different customs, they obey the Tripods." " They are still slaves." "They treat us kindly, but they must not know our plans." This quote shows that Will and Beanpole are stress that they are capped.

Will dosen't want to be capped thats why he wants to go to the white mountains. Will is disappointed that Jack is capped. If Jack was the same age as Will, he would be on the journey to the white mountains with them. Jack would know a lot about and would be great help for them. Quote pg. 121 " To accept would be to let down the others-Henry and Beanpole, the Vagrant Ozymandias, captain Curtis, all the free men in the White Mountains. I would not so that: nothing would tempt me to do it." This quote shows that he dose not want to be capped and he wants to live a free life
