Cress Reading Response



     The second choice book I read over the summer is Cress. It is the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series. The book began with an introduction of a new character who the book is named after just like the last one. The fairy tale this book is themed after is Rapunzel. Cress is a Lunar shell which means she has no powers. She is supposed to be executed because she is a shell but instead she is locked away in a satellite. She is a hacker who wants to try and keep Cinder and Thorne safe. She messages them to come get her and that is where the action begins.


    The introduction of Cress as a main character brings many new interesting plot elements and story lines into play. This also fills what I previously thought to be holes in the story or just questions I had. Cress was a really good book that I would definitely recommend reading after the earlier books in the series.

March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while. This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.
One of my favorite speakers during launch day was Erin. I thought the way that she presented was very engaging and interactive. It was a new twist that I found to be very cool and innovative. I liked the way that she did not try to force us to believe in her opinion but instead presented the facts and the arguments for both and left it up to us to form our own educated opinion. I thought the arguments sounded well made for both and I had already had my own opinion on the issue and the debate was still very entertaining. I also enjoyed Graham Frazier's presentation on the affect a powerful opinion can have on marketing and more specifically the Stockmarket. He explained what exactly the stock market was as it can be a point of confusion for many people. Then he gave us examples of how the stock market has changed based on the opinion of popular businessmen or other important people. I overall thought launch day was very interesting.
