Inquiry Question Response

    Our group's inquiry question was "What does character change teach us?" So in my book these two  main characters are first innocent and think their lives are perfectly normal. Later in the book thay find out their family is an ancient egyptian family after this is found out then unordinary things start happening. For example a small statue starts to move and talk. This taught me that somethings may seem wierd or unordinary at first but later in your life this thing might seem normal. For example later in this book Sadie and Carter start getting used to seeing wierd ancient egyptian gods, goddesses, magic items, and more.
    This inquiry question can be very useful for Sci-Fi or fiction books like the "Lightning Thief Series"

Demitrius Hilerio Class 707 Upfront magazine "Smoke Signals" Article By Alessandra Potenza

   In my opinion e-cigarettes are as bad as regular cigarettes. I think this because young men and women may think that just because they don't have tobacco doesn't mean that it won't be addictive still for smokers. Acording to the article "Harvey isn't alone. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the share of young people using e-cigarettes doubled in 2012 from the previous year. That worries U.S. health officials, who for decades have been making progress in helping people quit smoking-19 percent of adults smoke cigarettes today, versus 42 percent in 1965-or preventing them from starting in the first place."
   Another reason I think e-cigarettes are as bad as regular cigarettes because people stil get addicted to smoking and plus these companies put flavors in the e-cigarettes so yhey can give smokers more pleasure from smoking which influences people to continue smoking e-cigarettes.
   

Demitrius Hilerio Class 707 The Red Pyramid

    In the book the red pyramid by Rick Riordan two characters Sadie and Carter are pulled into their family's secret life. In this story these characters come from ancient families and their father gets captured and trapped in a different realm. Now they must be taken to safety by their uncle Amos.

   Uncle Amos explains all the things Sadie and Carter must know about their own lives. And this is when they find out all of the ancient legends they have learned about are real. All of these legends are supported with evidence from the worlld around them. Cats turn into humans and little statues can talk and give advice. 

   These changes affect their lives alot and this is not all they are still in store for lots of suprises.
