QUESTION 1:What has surprised you in the book? Why?
RESPONSE 1:I was surprised that Clary and Jace are in love their the 2 siblings of the story their in love because their mom and dad have kept them apart too long. This surprises me because when Jace found his greatest fear it was Clary dieing, " I could feel her heart beat missing beats, shutting down."

QUESTION 2:Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?
RESPONSE 2:I think that I would because the books are detailed, easy to understand, and the characters are established well at the beginning and you discover more about them later in the book.

QUESTION 1:What does this book make you wonder about? Why?
RESPONSE 1:the book The City of Bones makes me wonder about all the things that the human race made about the mythical creatures like vampires and werewolfs. What if they are different than we think and can control when they transform into a wolf or a bat. The reason I thought this is because in the book the people are normal just with a diseases. The only evil things that are in this book are demons.

QUESTION 2:How did what you read today make you feel? Why?
RESPONSE 2: it made me feel like there are more mysteries to the world than most people think and that most people are simpleminded and can't see all the mysteries that are right in front of their faces. Another thing in this book is that the mundanes cannot sense the demons or any of the mysteries that are happening around them.

For this project, I would like to read The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I chose to read this book because I have read the other 2 books in the series. In the series there is a type of people who call them self the Shadowhunters, they hunt and kill demons while that happens a person called Valentine is setting up an army. His children are Clair and Jace and they have special abilities like jumping up 30 feet in the air and creating powerful runes. A rune is a drawing that if it is drawn strange things happen.

chapter 12

before all of the hiding and hunting i got some food from SamnEric this is also when they told me that they were tortured into the tribe. At first i hide from the hunters in a thicket and they try to scare me out by throwing rocks at me. then they gave up and set the thicket on fire to smoke me out. After that i fled to the forest and hid in the undergrowth. when SamnEric told me that roger sharpened a stick on both ends i had no idea that he was going to put my head on a stick for the beast. when i flee onto the beast i run into the navel officer he seemed disappointed that we became savages. when we saw the navel officer Percival couldn't remember his name. when he asks who is in charge i say that I'm in charge. when he comes onto the beach he backs down and lets me talk.
