First I graded Roberto and this is what I put:
I think you described Count dracula very well and also the setting which was a war in the 1200 in europe also I think you could go into why he opposed who he opposed and who where his friends and why. If you read a book of vampires what does this guy have to do witha a vampire, you didn't explain that.

Then I graded Tomy Urrutia and this is what I put:
I would say this deserves a four. Something I would add is more information about the setting like what was the arena like or what was district 12 like. I for example, would add that they lived in place where the food was scarce but just outside the fence it was plentiful with food but the capitol was afraid the would run away so it had a fence. Other than that you get 2 thumbs up

Worst audience behavior

The worst audience behavior is: talking/shouting because you can't concentrate on the speaker. Also you can't hear the speaker so being a good audience is hard. Also sometimes if it's a plat and they already saw It they give the final part away.
But the worst kind is when they shout boo at the speaker because it's disrespectful. Another kind is when the just start shouting randomly about their personal life or their problems with their girlfriend.

If I were a god

If i were a god I would: make world peace because if there is world peace there is no corruption. If there is world peace there are no slaves. If there is world peace there would be no wars. If there's world peace the world would be perfect. But with world peace life would get a little boring but that's nothing compared to what world peace would do.

Dear Suzanne Collins,

I loved your book the hunger game s. What I liked the most is that your future could happen but at the same time it probably won't. One thing I would add is where Panem was located in today world and where in today world the districts where because people want to know.
I love the way Katniss is unsure of the act of Peeta of being nice. Also the names like tracker jackers or jabberjays are very creative and fun to say.

character development Peeta

I read The Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark is the main character with Katniss Everdeen. Peeta was this bakers son and always had something to eat (even if it was a small portion) unlike Katniss, were as she had to fight to get if even a handful of rice. Peeta was in love with katniss though they had never talked and when he got on the train to the capitol I think his plan was to try to save katniss because he couldn't live without seeing her. He changed throughout the book from the bakers son, to the guy who will fight to death until someone he loves is safe.

Some of the elements of plots that set the mood was the exposition because it showed how cruel the people of the capitol  were, and how much the people in the districts suffered. The resolution was also very good because it had a lot of suspense and it got you to think that Katniss nor Peeta were going to survive.

When Katniss started thinking about Peeta something usually happened like when the manager of the hunger games said that if both of the last two standing children where from the same  district the would be allowed to live, Katniss was thinking about where Peeta was.

I think in the end of this book they both hate who they become like this girl who has everything and doesn't need to fight for it. I think she liked being someone who had to fight to live. Peeta to because he loved Katniss so much that if Katniss isn't happy he isn't happy
