Piratica II Blog 7

Plot Analysis

       Piractica is about a young girl that is on a pirate adventure to Parrot Island. The one problem is that other pirates keep telling her that she is not tough enough to join a ship. On page 52 it states that "All the other pirates keep looking at me, like I shouldn't be her. Or maybe I should be serving them booze or food." This proves that the other pirates don't want a girl to join their ship. Also, the pirates think that it would be silly for a girl to go on a dangerous adventure to Parrot Island. On page 76 it states that "What a silly girl she his. Thinking about joining us to sea, Argh!" This proves that the pirates don't think that Piractica is tough enough to join the pirates ship. 

Summary 

       So far, Piractica wants to go on adventure to find the legendary Parrot Island. But there is one problem, she won't get allowed to join a pirate ship. On page 45 it states that "It was always Piractica dream to find Parrot Island and explore it. But none of the pirates would accept her to join the ship." This proves that Non of the other pirates would want to go with Piratica to find Parrot Island. Next, Piratica is too young to join a ship and set to the seas. It states that " Since Piratica was 5 she wanted to explore. 9 years later shes seeking to join other pirates to find Parrot Island." This proves she was sure enough to explore to Parrot Island.

Connections

        Bo and Karlohs are deep in the woods and breaking the law. They are meeting up with a couple of friends and playing an illegal sport known as American Football. I can relate to this when I was younger I would be deep in the woods and play football with my cousins. But the different thing was that football was still legal at the time. Past forward 63 years, football is a banned sport. It states on page 197 that football was to ban from all over the world. But when I was little me and my cousins were caught by state police and got in trouble, well I didn't. But in the story Bo and Karlohs get caught and gets sent to prison. 

Conflict 

        Bo and Karlohs get caught!!!! They are no sent to prison for a good year or pay 2,000 in cash to get out. The laws would always messed them up and also Bo did see a rare bear in the woods and that made them eventually getting caught by the law. This has been the main problem for the whole story was breaking the law and eventually getting caught. It states from the whole book of laws that was passed. For example they banned tattoos in the 1930's and ban position of weapons in1932. In the the book the world has gotten stricter and stricter as the years go by.

Conflict

                   During the year 2070, Bo is considering ditching school for the day and playing football deep in the woods. But the thing that is stoping him is all the laws that was passed down decades ago. On page 129 it said that " Me and Karlohs are think about playing football deep in the woods." This proves that Bo would do anything to play an illegal sport just for the fun of it. Except the government is fencing all woods so they won't do anything illegal there. On page 145 it says "The government has gotten more and more strict as the years go by." This shows that the government is getting more stricter and reducing there freedom. 

Summary

                  Bo and Karlohs are looking for other people who are willing to play football with them. Since it's an illegal sport in Canada, they have to be slick of what they do. Karlohs knows an abounded football field that is south where they live at.  On page 157 it says that "The Coke plant was located near a small town called Amery, about six hours to the south. They are referring too the football field that was abounded near the abounded Coke plant that was out lawed 7 years ago.

Character Analysis:

       The main character in Rah is named Bo Marsten. Bo lives in the decade of 2070's. Bo is a high schooler living in Toronto, Canada. Based on his character he sounds like how a teenager would act in the future and now.  On page 13 it would state that he would go on into the forest and look for bears and won't listen to his parents. It proves that todays teenagers wouldn't listen to their parents and go off on there own. Bo also likes to hangout in his own little clique. In the book it states that his friends were Karlohs, Matt, and Ron. Does are the only friends Bo likes to hangout with and not other cliques. This shows that Bo acts how teenagers act today.

Memory Moment:

       Bo is living in year 2070. He keeps getting flash backs a decade ago early on in the book. On page 20 it states that in the past the world has gotten more stricter and stricter has the years goes on. It talks about how in the year 2035 the president sign a bill to forbidden body piercing and tattoos as stated on page 19. Bo is living in a world that it's strict and he can't nothing about it. It affects him of whats illegal and whats not. On page 23 talks about how he wants join a soccer team, but its illegal in the world as the government says its a "evil game". This proves how his childhood was.

Tough Questions
     

       Chris Kyle was always in the battle zone no matter what the enemy had to give him. On page 412, it stated that "the enemy already put a bounty on my head, cause I was that dangerous." It caught into my head that he knows he's a bounty, so why not give all he's got and not stay far back. It also stated that " I was never afraid of the enemy, I just see them and shoot them. That's what I was trained for." So, why is he falling back if he knows he has the firepower to hit the enemy back. 

A-HA Moment 
      During the chapter 34 and 36, it talks about memories of his wedding. But the problem is, it distracts him and not pay attention to the battlefront. He's trained to set his mind and shoot the enemy. It stated on page 395 that " Thinking about my wedding, takes me out of the battlefront and go into my daydreaming." It proves that even the most lethal sniper can get of task.

Summary      

       A lot of stuff has been going for Chris Kyle and the Seals. Its 2005 now in the timeline, Chris Kyle wrote. The enemy has already placed a bounty for Chris Kyle for his lethal shots against the enemy. He's experience what a SEAL is and how they hunt the enemy. Chris Kyle states that "Now the enemy were coming for me, not the Marines. They knew I was lethal enough that I could take out 2 people with one shot." Now Chris and his Wife are starting a family before he left to war in 1999. One moment that Chris was facing the face of death when his wife told him it was going to be a boy. Later shots fire at the squadron that he was looking after and later died cause Chris wasn't paying attention and letted 6 soldiers that day. Now Chris needs to control his temper and keep calm. Or maybe face death agin and let more soldiers die. 

Theme 

       I think what Chris Kyle is trying to say is that "You need to take chances and become who you want to be." At Chris wanted to become a cowboy growing up, later wanted to be a soldier. What inspire him was Gulf War and Vietnam. Chris choose who he wanted to be, no one stop him and became one of the most lethal sniper in U.S history. Chris Kyle also wanted people to do there own stuff and believe what you believe in. He has faced hatred by plenty of people, there telling him his killing people cause he wanted to. But Chris carried along and ignore.

Connections

       So far, in American Sniper aka the Life of Chris Kyle. The most lethal Sniper in US. history, during the Iraq War in 2003 to 2009. I always wondered how was a soldiers lifestyle during the Iraq war. As of January 11th 2015, it has become a major motion movie. So I decided to read the book of Chris Kyle. In one of the pages on 5 it said that " It was my duty to shoot, and I don't regret it." I always wanted to join some branch of the military when I grow up. But my parents and my uncles told me that I will regret it when I "shoot someone" Chris Kyle (author) has been faced with hate but he ignores it from the media. At first he didn't regret it joining the Navy then, later becoming a SEAL (Sea Air and Land). But he facing a whole different army that he will ever expect. If I join the military, I don't know what will come into my face.


Plot Analysis

      In the beginning of the story we see Chris Kyle in a abounded building looking throughout the entire street. He's guarding the Marines down to Bagdad, Iraq. Until he sees this woman holding an object, turns out it was a Chinese hand grenade. Now he is putting a squad of Marines life at risk. He has no other choice, either to shoot the woman or loose American lives. Can't take the risk "BANG!' the woman is down on the ground. I believe that Chris Kyle will see similar things like this again in the near future. He has to test himself either " To kill or be killed. " He is responsible to look at squads patrolling the street and make sure there isn't any enemies or suicide bombers. I believe that he's going let a squadron (group of soldiers) die or maybe kill an innocent bystander on the street.
