     Describe the effect the literature has no audience. Make to use specific examples to support your answer.
     By describing the literature that has no audience, I have found many examples to support me. This book is about a girl, Heidi, who goes on a journey alone to fund why her mother say only 29 words and one of them is soof. This book makes me want to keep reading because of the mystery it has shown. Another example is that when she goes to the retirement home, she finds out that her father is also another man that says "soof". Both parents have a mental disorder, so her gramdpa thpught she would have it too. Endend up she didnt, and gave a mystery with why she had to figure out this word.

Blog 7: The Last Hero by Rick Riordan

Identify a theme in your IRB.  Describe events in your book that support this theme.

            There are many themes in my IRB The Lost Hero. The Lost Hero's main theme is heroism. When Jason came out of no where it was a big surprise to Piper, his girl friend, and Leo, his best friend. He didn't remember a thing and was expected to go on a quest without his memory. Leo, who was the son of Hephaestus,  fixed the dragon that was lost and helped with the transportation for half of the quest. Helping Hera was weird because Hera hates children from Zeus. The biggest mystery is that Percy Jackson is missing and everyone is thinking hes at the Roman Camp instead of the Greek camp and Jason and Percy switched to combine both camps. Jason becomes a hero because he helps figure out what happened with Percy, and help Hera escape.
