The Firefly Code

The Firefly Code

By Megan Frazer Blakemore

Have you ever heard of a place named Old Harmonie? Or a road called Firefly Lane? Best friends, Morie, Julia, Benji and Theo live in Old Harmonie on the Firefly Lane. That is where the book, The Firefly Code by Megan Frazer Blakemore and it takes place in the future, that's how it gets its name because the 5 friends are special in a good way and they all live on Firefly Lane and the book is called The Firefly Code so I think that is how it gets its name. Morie, the protagonist, tries to be friends with Ilanna, the antagonist and Ilanna is the antagonist because later on in the book she hurts Morie on an accident but she still hurts her and leaves a bruise on Mori, witch I will explain more of later.They do become friends, and become close. The two girls have a secret place in the woods where they hang out. But one time when Ilanna wanted to show Mori something Ilanna was pulling Mori and she left a handprint on her. Another time Ilanna and Julia were competing with each other and when Julia won Ilanna didn't come out of her house in days. Over time, Mori begins to wonder why Ilanna acts out of character. What she finds out is disturbing but it won’t change the friendship between the two girls. The turning point in my book is when Mori and her friends find something out about Ilanna. I recommend this book to whoever is in 7th grade.

By Cheryl Jakab

This book is about overpopulation.It says that the earth has too many people and the limited food is not enough. Some countries have too many people and become Megacities and there aren't enough job opportunities for citizens , so it makes some poor people can't have the basic human rights. Not being able to work to live makes them turn to crime.What we should do next is controlling overpopulation, and making everyone possess basic human right. I think now I can do something like gardening and growing my own food. In fact, many cities across the world are now developing the public land into community farms and gardens so that I can not only help reducing the problem of lacking food but also enjoy the healthy vegetables.

Global Issues Clean Air and Water Macmillan Library (Global Issues - Macmillan Library)

By Cheryl Jakab

This book helps me a lot by inspiring me to take action on the pollution of air and water. This book simply explains how did human contribute to the air and water pollution level and shows the effect of it by a combination of image and information. After reading this book, I think the main reason that caused the pollution of air and water are coal burning and oil spilling. As a conclude, in order to improve the air and water quality, the government should consider moving the industrial factories to where air movement cannot carry pollutants away and we should ride bicycles more often. Also, factories and towns should treat their own waste and deal with the industrial effluents they emitted to the ocean.
