Hello, it is good to be back. Today I am going to be explaining if I think my book is a Window or a Mirror. The book that I am going to be talking about is…. Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief! I have just finished this book and i am excited to talk about it today. I think that Percy Jackson is an amazing book. I am only on the second one but I already love the whole series. Alright, lets get started!

First of all we have to know what a window or a mirror is. It is not really that hard to understand. I book that is a window is a book that you can look right through. When I say “look right through” you might think she’s crazy I have read Percy Jackson before and you can not see right through it. But no, when I say “look right through I mean that you have nothing in common with that book. I mean that there is nothing that you can relate to in that book. A mirror is kind of the opposite. a mirror is a book where you have a lot in common with that book or even just a few things in common. A book can be a window and a mirror. You might be able to look right though some parts of the book but other parts are mirrors. 

For me, I think that Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief is a window. I think because I can’t relate to most of the book. I don’t really have anything in common with any of the characters. I mean, obviously I am not the daughter of a god or am I….. I don’t go to a camp with kids who are the sons and daughters of gods. I don’t have dyslexia. I am very different from all of the characters in Percy Jackson. Windows and Mirrors are weird things to think about. They really make you think about the book and reflect on it. Percy Jackson is a window for me.

Think about the book(s) you are reading or have read and just think if it is a window or a mirror for you. If you would like, type in the comments and tell me what book you are reading and if it is a window or mirror for you.

See you next time!
