Reading Response

       This week I have almost completely finished my book, The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. So far the three main characters; Jason, Leo, and Piper are trying to find and release Hera who has supposedly stolen Jasons memory. Jason is named after and important man in Roman history named Jason as well. Leo has the ability to summon fire and he is also immune to it, piper is about to charm talk people and Jason can summon lighting so its interesting to see how they use these abilities in situations.  I think I will be able to finish by the end of this week.
      Along with our regular free reading we have also begun our poetry in english. We had to read " The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop. In the beginning of the poem she begins to describe the looks of the fish she has caught. When she takes a closer look she sees that the fish has five more fish lines stuck in his mouth. In the end I guess she felt sorry for the old fish who based on the lines, had been caught many times before, because in the end she lets the fish go.
