The four cousins
Never Apart
Just by a year
Our birthdays appear
One of them is a sister
The other two are almost
As close.
We played and hung out
Almost everyday
It became what I would
Call the most important
Part of a day.
We grew up together
In the same household
We played on the See-Saw.
That See-Saw went up and down
Two on each side,
We were perfect.
Childhood with the cousins
Was the best.

Reading response Theme
The theme in the book "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R Tolkien is that Frodo relies on the wisdom and knowledge his protectors. For example, Gandalf is one of the examples Frodo relies on.
Gandalf is so much more powerful than them so they rely on the most powerful person that can protect them. Gandalf is going on this quest with Frodo. Gandalf's job is to protect and guide Frodo through his journey. Gandalf is helpful in the journey because he says important information. For example, he says that if the ring is worn too frequently the person who is wearing the ring will be subsumed into the spirit world. Without Gandalf Frodo couldn't succeed anything. He needed somebody more powerful and someone that can guide him and protect him throughout the journey. Also, later in the books they have to defeat Sarouman and you need Gandalf for that because nobodies more powerful than him. Tom Bombadil is another one of Frodo's supporters to help him with his journey. Bombadil is wise and powerful. Frodo needs all the help he can get. He as to rely on wisdom and knowledge. And obviously Tom and Gandalf are to great examples of that. He also need both tom and Gandalf because Frodo has a tough decision if to wear or not wear the ring.

In this book titled, "Nicholas Dane" by Melvin Burgess is about a 14 year old going through lots of trouble. His mother died and he went straight to a boys homing school. He needs to run away.
Nick is having lots of trouble. His mother dies so suddenly and unexpectedly. She dies by a drug overdose. He's a fourteen year old boy that is going through pain. Since nobody could take care of him he was sent to a boys homing school. In that homing school he was in more trouble. The boys there were beating him up and the owner Mr. Creal doesn't care and does nothing to stop it. All the boys are twisted and don't know anything but violence and drugs. After Nick's mom died he didn't even go to school. He is getting forced to go to school. Home schooled. Its bad enough he had tough times with his family and now he is getting forced to go to school and getting beat up every single day. He only could think of one solution, to run away. He now has to live in the streets while having nowhere to go for shelter. He runs into this other boy who is a bad influence. This boy fences stolen credit cards and car radios. He is stuck and he thinks life cant get any worse.
This book shows how a teen age boy could go through in life. I really enjoyed this book because of what the author wrote this book. All in all, when i started the book I couldn't put it down. I read this book 3 times. all 3 times the book was amazing, I never got bored of it. This book shows a focus on drugs and child abuse and how some children were treated in the 1980's in united kingdom. the boys homing centers there were terrible. If I was in Nicks shoes i wouldn't know what to do. I think i would also run away if i was getting beat up everyday.
Over all, if I had to give this book a rating form 1 to 5, I would give it 5 stars. I would recommend this book to young boys. One of my best books!
