Manjot: The big A.

You did a great job of explaining. One thing i would suggest is try not to stereotype , not all Christians believe that it is chosen. I would like to see you go into more detail when you are talking about the last part (the path of the doctor). I'd like to know more details about what you mean. Otherwise you did a great job of explaining.

chapter 1 and 2 response

The first two chapters are mostly based on introducing characters, setting, conflict etc. I am having a hard time getting into this book. For this book you have to really think about it and pay attention to every little detail. I don't think peter should have threw the rock at sir Phillips but i also dont think that sir phillips should have made it such a huge deal because it didn't actually hit him. Sir Phillips went to far building a fence on someone else's property I think that Peter should have been more careful because now he left his hat behind with his name on it, what if this causes problems in the future ( the rest of the book ).

* i dont know why but blogger isnt letting me post on my computer this is the third time ive written this out. hopefully it works.*

response to robyn's post!

I agree with your thoughts, and i too believe that although in some circumastances you cannot change your fate, and it is your decision to choose the right path for yourself. But i think that some parts, like your religious comment, should be explained more clearly!

Chapter 1 and 2

   The first two chapters were like any other book. It introduce the reader to the main and supporting charcters of the story. When I figured out that Peter was wearing a hat I was confused. I say this because he was wearing a hat at night. I understand if it was in the day because he wants to protect himself from the sunlight but during the night a hat isn't needed.
   When Sir Phillip started to build a gate on the farmer's property, this reminded me of the construction on  96 Aveune. The goverment is going in to other people's yards to expand the road. It is causing damage to other people's yards.
   If we go back into time an example is when the British people took over Canada and US  from the native people who lived here way before they did. They came over and it was cold. The native people gave the British food and shelter and the Britsh people in return gave them liquor and took over their land. 

The Big A

I think that it depends on the person whether their life path is determined or not. Some peoples religious views say that they have to go through things as told, some young women are married young without any say. I don't think that every person has a set path that they are born with, i believe we were given a challenge when we were born and that's to face all the decisions we have now and the decisions the future holds for us. Everyone makes mistakes and i think that every mistake is a lesson learned, i dont think we were born to do any certain things, I think it depends on how hard we try, and attitude we have towards life.

PS. sorry this is really late, i couldnt figure out how to post, turns out i wasnt an author yet.

Response to Manjot's Big A (since i cant seem to comment on his post)

I liked how you provided examples relating to God, but there are a few points that I do not understand. I have encountered many Christians that do not think that god has chosen their paths, so I don’t think that it really depends on god. Rather than that, I think it really depends on yourself of what you believe in, and how hard you try. And I have no idea how we, scientifically, would know that our lives were written before we were born! Although, I agree that in some cases, it does depend on your parents, and what they want you to do. But I have also seen numerous cases that people foolow and accomplish their own dreams rather than following what their parents want them to do. I also personally do not think you can predict your future. You can only dream about it, and try hard to accomplish it. Sometimes, even if you predict what you want to do in the future, but do not try to accomplish it, at last, you will not achieve that goal! And in some other cases, people change their thoughts about what to do in the future. :)

Chapter 1 and 2 review for cue for treason.(historial fiction novel)

The setting takes place in the at the end of the 16th centurey, Elizabethan England, in a small town called Cumberland in the North of England. Peter Brownrigg, a 14 year-old boy  and his family and fellow villagers, were in a secret protest againt Sir Phillip Morton, a knight who was stealing away their lands. But the initial incident began when Peter throws a rock at Sir Phillip(but missed). Peter went to school the next day(chapter 2), and boasted to his classmates about the adventure he had encountered last night. But because his classmates refused to believe him, he wished that his hat, with the bullet hole through it, had been with him. I personally think that this boy can be a little slow at times! Shouldn't he have known, therefore be extremely frightened, thsat he left his hat behind with his name? Shouldnt he have a clue that they will discover this and therfore use it as as an  evidence to catch him and then sentence him to some sort of crime?  I personally think that Peter is a stubborn and mischievous child who, at times, do not think before they act. If he only had he obeyed his father's rules, staying put until he recieves an order- then he would be clean from this entire mess! So the next day, in order to escape after finding out he was in trouble after being told by his parents, he left the village the following day. He had recieved 5 shillings from his father, and some food from his mother, and his journey begins. I am eager and excited to read the next chapter and find out what will happen next!!^^

Big A

 I believe that it depends on whether you believe in god or not. A person who doesn't believe in god probably doesn't think that our lives are made before we are born but a person who believes in god probably does. It also depends on your parents and if they want you to live a life they want you to live. I think a man can not change his life. I believe our lives are written before we are even born, even if you think you are changing your life it was probably written to be like that in the first place.

You probably can predict what will happen to your life in the future. For example, you may want to become a doctor and in the future. Then you do become a doctor, but the route you take to enter that professional field you will never know, whether you will be elected by a university right away, after some time or not at all.

hi

Was a person's life path determined before they were born? Is it today? Or can a man change his stars as the clip suggests?

I believe that a person’s life path can be determined before they were born, or it may not be. I used to believe that it is entirely the person’s choice to choose their life path, but recently I realized that sometimes, a person’s life path cannot be changed. For example, the women in Muslim and such countries, has their fate led out to them the day they were born. Because they were girls, they had no rights, they could not do what they wanted, instead they get married early, endure beatings from their husband, and they have the least right in the house. So sometimes, I believe, in certain circumstances, a person’s life path cannot be changed. However, on the other hand, if you were born into a better environment, you may be able to change and choose your own path.  In democratic countries like Canada, children have the freedom to choose what they want to do in the future. And in some circumstances, I think a man, like in the video clip for example; can change his stars as the clip suggests. As long as they try their hardest, even when they meet obstacles, I believe it is possible to accomplish their goals as long they don’t give up.
