Lord of the Flies, William Golding ****(4 Stars) Fantasy. The Lord of the Flies is a dark book about a bunch of British boys who crash a plane onto an uninhabited island in the Pacific, where they have to survive until help arrives- if it ever does. At first, everything seems to be going well. The boys have elected a leader, the quiet Ralph, who gets most of his ideas from his ever loyal friend Piggy (that's the nickname that the boys give him, because of his larger stature, and because of his clumsiness), and they get a huge fire going, as to alert passing ships of their presence. In a few days things start heating up when the headstrong Jack (not me, I swear) starts to get jealous of Ralph's position and leaves the main group with his followers to go to the forest and live there, where they become something like wild beasts, losing self control and going savage. On top of all of that they have convinced the other boys to join them, leaving...
Maximum Ride is 2% bird, Katniss is just a girl, Michael has electrical powers and Percy is half god.... hmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis is Grace. I voted for Percy Jackson too! He would definately win a battle beacause he has water powers, his dad is Poseidon, AND Percy has a cool pen that can turn into a sword!!! I want that pen...
ReplyDeleteSO do i!!!
DeleteTotally agree!!!
DeleteI want that pen too...
But wouldn't it be cool if the pen had powers of its own? Including the sword part of course!
Just thought about maybe a little add on's.....
Okay, so this is Katie. And my argument for choosing Maximum Ride was because, well, she IS suppose to save the world. I would HOPE she doesn't die. But then my lovely brother pointed out that Percy Jackson has that Achilles (spelt wrong? probably) blessing/curse/thing. And the fact that he IS half "god"...
ReplyDeleteNope, sorry still Maximum Ride. She has WINGS people!!! She's 2% bird!!! And like she says: "That 2% makes an awfully big impact, let me tell you..."
Katie!!!! Percy Jackson would ABSOlUTELY WIN!!!!! He has water powers for goodness sake! AND A COOL PEN!!!!! and what happens if Maximum's wings get wet? She crashes! so there!

ReplyDeleteThis is what would happen: Max would fly high into the air, and Micheal Vey would turn her into fried chicken with a well placed lightning bolt, Katniss would curl up into a fetal position and start whimpering,"Not again, not again", Percy would then put water on Micheal Vey while he was charging up for a huge lightning bolt, which would result in Mike zapping himself, then Katniss would shoot at Percy, which of course woudn't hurt him, as he has the Achilles Heel thing, then Percy would get into an epic hand to hand fight with Katniss that Percy would eventually win. There you go!
Deleteagreed...
DeleteThank you Jack! not to be mean, but couldn't Percy just drown Katniss instead of hand to hand combat?
ReplyDeleteThis is Grace
No that would be to mean, and anyways, what fun would that be?
ReplyDeleteok OOOOOOOH!!! that's a really hard question! um.... its defiantly a tie between Maximum Ride an Katniss Everdeen... Max has super powers BUT Katniss could just snipe everyone with her bow... yeah I'm gonna have to say Katniss... but its so CLOSE! OK lets just say its a tie between Katniss and Max? UGH! its just so hard... you know Max could just dive bomb, grab someone and then fly straight up and drop the person to their death SPLAT... but Katniss could stay at a safe distance or in a tree and just shoot the people with a arrow... I just don't know! I guess I'll say Katniss (cuz either way she is totally awesome)
ReplyDeleteKatniss. Is. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteoh no!!!!!!!!! it is so Max Ride i mean hello people!!! she fights off genetically altered hybrids with the strength of ten bulls in one every day while being a mother. i agree that Katniss is amazing but she won all those fights against HUMANS! And Micheal Vey and Percey Jackson don't stand a chance against the awesomeness that is Maximum Ride. while i agree that Katniss is a kick butt ninja Max wins hands down.
ReplyDeleteLauren
I would love to vote for Katniss.... *sigh* but then, she's just a lowly human! Vote has to go for Percy. It's the whole 1/2 god thing... BUT, They'd make a kick butt team!
ReplyDeletethey would make a totaly kick butt team!!!!
Deletebut I think the best team would be Maximum Ride and Micheal Vey!!! just sayin...
I think the best team would be Maximum Ride and Percy Jackson....
