This week our blog  posts are suposed to be writen about conflicts in our book. We area lso suposed to write about what kind of conflicts there are and if we dislike any of the characters.

The first  conflict in my book right now and its about Cammie and her aunt whom she hasnt seen in a while and she is the only one who everyone is talking about, and saying that she is so cool. Cammie doesnt like how her aunt abby doesnt have time to talk with Cammie alone because she always has some people around her and shes always protecting Macey, or shes just busy. This conflict would be an external conflict.

The other conflict in my book is with Macey and  Cammie dealing with what happened on the roof top when they got attacked. Macey is covered with black and blue bruises from head to toe. But she doesnt want anyone to see them, so she wont change in her room she goes to washroom to change.  Looking at this conflict makes me think that it is a internal conflict.

From the beginning there really isnt much more detail to the characters than there was before. Macey is a bit more shy than she was last time.

Recently this week we have started to read a novel of our own choice. I have chosen a novel written by  Ally Carter. The novel I have chosen is ‘Don’t judge  a girl by her cover, it a book written about a spy academy. It is the 3rd book in the series. For each of our novels we had to divide it into four parts so that we can read one part per week. Even though I just loathe to have limits put on my reading when I have a good book.

In my book it starts out that the main character Cammie Morgan, is invited to join her friend Macey at her dad’s national political convention. Her dad is becoming the vice president and Macey has to be on television with him accepting the award. Macey is not the kind of girl who wants to be on television with her parents,the McHenry’s. During the practice run Macey and Cammie are trapped on the rooftop with the son of the president, Preston had found them and was walking with them to their rehearsal and they ended up on the rooftop. That was what the schedule had said for Macey to go, but as they were looking around on the roof top and the door closed. A black helicopter came, and two people in full black jumped out and  started attacking the two girls. Cammie got Preston off of the roof safely by sending him down on a window washing cart. Cammie and Macey were fighting the two people when Cammie knocked on of the people unconscious, kicked in an air vent grabbed Macey and slid down the chute and knocked themselves unconscious on the way down.

When they woke up the were at their covert operations teachers house on the lake with full security. Macey had a broken arm and Cammie had a black eye and a bandage around her head. Macey’s parents came to get her in a helicopter and took her away before Cammie had a chance to really talk to her.

On the day back to the Gallagher academy for exceptional young women after summer break there was so many versions of rumors about what had happened on the rooftop that day. That Cammie was shocked when she walked in and the academy was silent. Every one had turned to look at her and stare,  she just went up to her room. When her friends came they talked and  after a while they heard  the siren going off  ”Code Red, Code Red”. They ran down to the doors and they saw Macey coming up in a big black stretch limo and  secret service agents, new crews and they were everywhere.

I think that the book so far is very well written lots of description, well categorized, and very intriguing. But as I was reading I found myself wondering who were the two people who jumped out of the helicopter? Who was it that messed with Macey’s schedule?
