How is Will just like you?
Connections are about connecting yourself to the/a story, finding something that is similar about the story and something you have experienced. After you have read a book have you ever thought of any connections to link you and the book? If you haven't try it, it's actually worth while. If you have, what type of connections have you made? Try to think of a variety of them. In this blog I will try to connect myself with the main character, Will, in a few different ways.
One connection I found similar with Will is his cousin Henry. Henry is like my little brother to me, annoying, mean, hurting and so many more words I can't describe. But somewhere deep down I love him, it's hard to admit it but I do. I'm pretty sure Will loves his cousin Henry somewhere deep down at the bottom of his heart, as well. My little brother always tries to hurt me whenever he doesn't like what I'm doing, and when he is mad (even when it's a reason I am not responsible for) he blames and gives all his anger to me. That's the same with Will and Henry. They fight a lot, when they do I think a lot of the time one of them ends up getting hurt, that's exactly the same with my little brother and me. When Will was running around with the watch, it reminded me of my little brother, when he stole one of my possessions. He was running around with it. I guess he thought I was at school because the next thing I knew he was in my room. I took one look at him and he took one look at me, the next thing I knew I was running right after the screaming little kid that was trapped in his mind. This part connects to when Henry was running after Will. Me being Henry and Sam-little brother-being Will. In the end just like Henry and Will, Sam and I were tumbling over each other, struggling to keep my possession. That is one way we are alike.
Another way we are alike is curiosity. We are both largely curious about things. For will it the watch and Ozymandias for me it was my new neighbor. The day the new neighbor moved in I was filled with three emotions: curiosity, happiness and jealousy. Curiosity because well, who wouldn't be curious when a new neighbor moves in, it's just like a new student in your class or school. happiness because I was pretty sure I was going to find new friends. Jealousy because I'm usually the new person and for my whole life no one has really taken over being new, except for this time. It was after school when the first event happened with these new neighbors. I was playing with my next door neighbors in our usual routine after school. I noticed two girls crossing the road. I had never seen before they looked about my age one was a little younger though, I decided they were the new neighbors and trotted over. I asked if they would like to join us in our game of kick ball. They agreed immediately, I spent the rest of the day (until the moon rose)playing outside with them. Soon enough our playing outside went on to hanging out at school and going to each others houses. I think Will and I were the same in that way, my neighbors being Ozymandias.
Those are some reasons I think I am similar to Will.
