Rule of Three

Dear Ms. Casassa,




    This week I am still reading  Fight for Power by Eric Walters.  This book just keeps getting better and better.  Feelings with Lori and Adam are progressing after Todd gave Adam some advice.  Where I started reading this week was in chapter seven.  It takes off with Adam and Lori on a private roof top some kids in the compound made to get away from all the drama and stress.  As they get talking, shots ring out and two guards are shot.  There has been a sniper attack from the old recked towers on the outskirts of the compound.  Fortunately, no one else gets hurt, but the compound needs to come up with a plan to execute the attackers.
     Adam has changed a lot throughout the story and throughout the series.  In the beginning of this book Adam kills two of his own men.  He has to do this because they turned on him an they were going to kill him.  But, before this book, Adam didn't even carry a gun on him.  Now, he has two guns and a grenade on him at all time.  This just shows how much he has changed.  Adam has also become more of an adult too soon.  He is still only a sixteen year old, but he has to change and form into an adult to protect his siblings, girlfriend, and the whole compound.  In the first book, Adam and Todd are trying to finish a last minute report for their high school class.  In the next couple weeks Adam is fighting for his life and trying to provide his family with basic necessities.  Throughout the story, Adam matures very quickly, and it is kind of disappointing  because he will never go back to where he was that one day in high school.
     It really surprised me that Brett and his men turned on the compound.  The compound provided them with plenty of safety, food, and entertainment.  So why would they betray the compound?  This is a question I have yet to find out.  I also thought about what would happen if the scenario that happened in this book happened to me and my friends and family.  My friends an I practically live on our phones, what would we do if we didn't have that?  It really made me think about all the things I take for granted everyday.  Just the simple things, that the people in this book do not have.
