**Mood Analysis**
While reading my book the character BlueStar said" Firestar im very dissapointed with you, you, you Mouse Brain" After reading this I realized that I could take apart this sentence and use it to explain the tone of the sentence. When I tore it down realized that the author purposly put many you's in the sentence to show that the character is so dissapointed she's speechless.

Tone Analysis
//Before you take your infants or toddlers to a movie, sit them down at home in front of the TV, and if they can sit and watch for two hours without screaming, crying or running around, awesome.…// Written by a staff member from GJ Sentinal

While reading this I couldn't help but to notice the commas. These commas make me think that the writer is impatient or frustrated by the fact that not many kids do what the author would define as "awesome". After looking at the commas for a bit I noticed the four dots at the end of the piece which made me believe that the author is being sarcastic or is using sarcasm to point out that not many kids do that. ___

The book I am reading is Warriors-Fire and Ice. The auther of this book is Erin Hunter, and I believe she's a good author. I chose this book because my friend highly sugested it to me, but as i got into the book I realized that it's a very good series and it makes me think of real life whenever I read it. The main setting of the story is in a forest and takes place in modern day. Some of the main characters are FireHeart, he's the main character of the story and the story flows around him. Another main character is Blue star and she is the leader of the clan that FireHeart belongs to. The book is basicly about 4 clans of cats that have to struggle to survive, they face starvation, attack from other clans and the threat of disease. "With a feeling of dread, Fireheart saw the glint of unsheathed claws and thorn-shaped fangs. These half-starved cats were about to attack." That is a part from the book which made me appealed to it. I think this book is a good book because it reminds you of struggles in real life. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy and wants to escape from reality.

Rationale:
When I started this assignment I had a flying car in mind but then thought that a car that can fly is really just an add on to a car that can drive. So I started thinking and I thought of an idea, why not make a fish that can walk... So when I started to make the fish that could walk so other things popped into my mind so I decided to add arms and wings to the fish so it could do many of things.

**The Pen**
“Today is the day”…

Today I’m going to the chicken coop thought Alex. Hopping out of bed I proceeded to get dressed and go collect eggs from the coop. I was smiling feeling as if today was going to be a good day. When I started collecting eggs I noticed something shining in the dirt, so I went over to it and picked it up. It was a pen but not your ordinary pen it was a golden pen and when I rubbed it with my fingers I felt as if pure adrenaline was rushing threw my brain and as if I know everything. Just then dad yelled “Ha boy are you nearly done collecting them eggs?” I decided I would keep the pen and went back to collecting eggs so my dad wouldn’t get mad at me. This pen is just amazing I said to myself taking a closer look at it… it looks as if it is part of the sun. While I fell asleep that night I decided I was going to use this pen everywhere and keep it with me at all times.

“//Begin your test//” says Ms. Harper “//Also NO cheating!//” Today I knew I was going to pass this test I didn’t know how because I hadn’t studied at all but I felt confident. Question 1, done. Question 2, done. Question 3, done. After I had finished the test I had myself a look around and realized it had taken me only 5 minutes to complete the test when it usually takes me around 40 minutes. I was shocked, but so was my teacher. “//Alex are you done with your test?//” Yes Ms. Harper I’m done with my test. “//Did you do all of your work to the best of your ability Alex//?” Yes Ms. Harper I did. “//Well Alex I hope you didn’t cheat or else you parents will be called.”// I didn’t cheat Ms. Harper//.//” While at lunch the office called me in and talked to me about my test. But I knew it wasn’t me it was something else causing me to be smart…After talking to the teachers and office officials I was released home. I then went home and told my mom how I felt as if I could be taking more challenging classes and she agreed to sign me up for online classes. These classes are a breeze I was thinking to myself as I was listening to my instructor. I then typed to her all the answers she needed and added some extra stuff, she said she was astonished at how fast I was learning and it seemed as if I knew everything she needed to teach me. After this I became extremely well known around or school and also began receiving invitations to other school’s that were private and honor level curriculum. Everything was going great and I felt as if my life couldn’t get better.

Mom I feel as if I already know everything I could need and I would like to try and take the IQ test? “Sure son just let me find out where you can get one and we’ll have you take it.” So as the week went on I kept on scoring good grades and also I kept impressing my teachers. So one day when I went home and my mom said son the test is here and if you want to we can take it right know… I was really excited to take the test and to see how good I could score so is at down on the kitchen table and began taking the test. For the first problem I had a little trouble but then it came to me in a rhythm, answering and answering until before I knew it I was done with the test in less than 10 minutes. After I was done I gave my mom my answer sheet and she put it back into the folder and mailed it off to the people she received it from.

That weekend I helped my parents clean up the house and also clean the coop. While I was cleaning the coop I remembered the day I got the pen which was almost 2 weeks ago. I remembered the way I felt when I first touched the pen and it hit me! The pen was the reason I became so smart it was a magical pen. Going back into my house, I ran to my room to get the pen from my drawer and my mom stopped me and asked me why I was in such a big hurry and why I was so excited. I told her I was in a good mood and that I needed to go. So I went to my room and searched the drawer where I thought the pen was and it wasn’t there. I freaked and started searching franticly for the pen which I could find nowhere, I asked my mom if she knows where it is and she said no I don’t but you could go and search the coop. So I went and searched the coop and could find it nowhere. I was shocked, not that I couldn’t find it but at the fact that how could I lose something so important to me in the first place.

The next day the IQ test results arrived in the mail and they were stunning but also depressing knowing I would never have those scores without the pen in my possession. The score was 190 and knowing that I would never get those scores again I threw away the test to get the thought of losing the pen out of my mind. Threw the next days I decided living without the pen wasn’t possible and I would have to find out where the pen was, but how would I do this? Hmmm… I thought to myself as I surfed the internet for any freak genius occurrences, I could not find one no matter how long or how accurate my search was. I decided I didn’t want to go to school anymore because of the criticism I would get know that I don’t have the pen and how stupid I would seem to everyone who looked up to me when I was smart. Over the next week or so I stayed home cleaning and looking after the coop and every time I would clean the coop I would just sit in the place I found the pen and tell myself “How stupid are you seriously how stupid.

The next day I decided enough was enough and the pen was too great to live without and that I was going to commit suicide. I made a plan and decided the next day I would end my life quick and easy. The next day I woke up and slowly walked downstairs and ate breakfast, then I cleaned my room, cleaned the coop, cleaned the whole house as a parting gift and then went outside with dad’s 12 gauge and said my last words… Thank you mom and dad.

The End
