Literacy Blog Number 6

                  
                      

This is the book cover I chose because I find that it represents the book the best. The font isn't that big so it doesn't pick take away from the picture because the picture in the cover always tells you a bit more of what story is about. I chose this cover because it is really colourful and doesn't look like a cartoon cover it looks like an actually picture was taken. I think this cover relates to the book a lot because it shows Titania sleeping in the forest with the fairies surrounding her and in the book it takes place a lot in the forest and everyone keeps falling asleep in the forest and getting the magic love juice poured on them. I think its Titania because she is one of the first girls to fall asleep and get the flower juice sprinkled on her eye lids and also because she has all of her fairies surrounding her. I also think this is the best cover because in the other covers in has bottom with his donkey head and hat isn't the whole point of the play, bottom getting his head turned into a donkey head. I feel that  this book is mostly about the lovers falling in love with everyone else by the flower juice and it all happens when they are sleeping. Just by looking at the picture the scene where Titania fell asleep and Puck came and sprinkled the flower juice on his her eyes came in to my mind and that's what I think the whole story is about so that's why I chose this cover. Also, this picture isn't really busy and it doesn't have so many things going on at once and that is just like the book, there are many things happening but they all aren't happening all at once.









Literacy Blog Number 5

In this blog post we need to compare something from our book that is the same as MSND.I have started reading a new book called "Someone like you" By: Sarah Dessen. It is about a girl named Halley and her best friend Scarlett's boyfriend died and Scarlett finds out she is pregnant. Hally ow has to be the best friend she has always been and help out her friend. Halley's mom Julie is really over protected and I am relating her to Egeus. Egeus is Hermia's dad and wants her to marry Demetrius and not Lysander but Hermia really likes Lysander. It took me some time to really think about what is the same between the two books and I came up with that Egeus and Julie are both really over protected parents and want their daughters to do what they want. Hally likes this boy named Macon but her mom does not approve of him and wants her to continue dating Noah from before the Summer but she doesn't want to and that is just like Hermia because she wants to run away with Lysander and get married and she does not want to do what her father says and that is just like Hally. Something that I thought was really opposite is Helena and Hermia are best friends and Scarlett and Hally are best friends. But when Hermia and Helena need to stick together they end up getting into a big fight over the guys and when Scarlett and Hally are in a terrible situation they come closer together and stand by each others sides and help each other out and don't let each other go.
