Entry two

My three main characters Standish Treadwell, Gramps and Hector who all want different things which are very similar. I think what Standish really wants is to see his mother, father and Hector again. I would say that gramps also wants this but not for his own sake, for Standish's. I think what Hector really wanted was to please everyone and to stop all of the inequality between the different zones and that was why he was beginning to rebel against the higher groups rules, for example, when he crossed the wall out of his own zone to get a ball instead of obeying the rules of his own zone.

Throughout this novel there seems to be a lot of themes growing as you read. Out of the many themes friendship seems to be one of if not the strongest theme touched upon during this novel.one of the smaller but very crucial to the development of the story is danger, another of equal value to the story is rebellion, as I said these may be smaller than friendship but they are huge in the long run because without them the story wouldn't be as attention grabbing and exciting for the reader. So far this book has been a lot about breaching the rules and standing up for what you believe in.

The story is told in first person, I feel like there is always something else hidden beneath the surface of what is actually written on the page, so it really makes you stop and think "well what was meant by that" and think about what you are reading about and helps develop a better understanding.

Entry one

The book that I have chosen to read is "maggot moon". This book is about a boy called hector he Is introduced as a shy boy who has had a rough life, his parents are made to seem like they had died but as I read further into the story it sounds like they have escaped, he is made fun of in school and he isn't that smart, his name is Standish Treadwell. In fact one of the first things to describe him in the book is "you see, I can't spell my own name. Standish Treadwell. Can't read can't write Standish Treadwell isn't bright. So from the very begging you feel sorry for him. He has been living with his grandad "gramps" (as he is called in the book) he is like any loving caring grandad and standish knows he will always be there for him, I know this because in the book there is this line "gramps was the only person who still pulled at the gravity in me". he was pretty much Standish'is only friend until he met Hector  who became his best  friend, hector would always stand up for Standish against everyone else.
 until one day they were playing with a ball down at the railway tunnel and it went over a bwall but not just any wall the border wall. And the people in this "zone" we're not aloud to cross so standish and Hector left but it was Standish's favorite ball so the next day hector went down and then he came back with the ball, standish was not really pleased, he was worried because everyone knew what happened if you went out of your zone. Then that night hectors family were staying at Standish's house but, they didn't stay the whole night, in the morning the whole family had disappeared and this happened a lot in their zone people would just disappear into these "holes in the ground" (metaphorical) and hector says that that was what his parents fell into and disappeared.
I think that this plot is quite a lot like the hunger games because of the zones and they have the capital and they have something a lot like that in this book and they have these people that will destroy things and so does this book so they have a lot of the same things, it is about these two friends.
I think that hector will escape one day and he will go free and find Hector at some point on his journey
