2nd Quarter SSR Reflection

For the 2nd quarter I read, I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore.  My favorite character in the book is the main character, John Smith.  He is one of the nine Lorien children living and hiding on Earth.  He has three circular scars on his right ankle.  This indicates the death of the first three Lorien children.  John and the others that are still alive are trying to survive from the Morgadorians that are killing them in order.  He is known as number four but he changes his name every time he moves to keep his identity a secret.  John is very unsocial because if he start to make friends and become popular then he is more vulnerable for the Morgadorians to find him, so he stays under the radar.  He possesses certain gifts and abilities that helps him protect others and himself.  They are called legacies, they start to appear throughout the book.  The legacies that John has are telekinesis which all Lorien Garde have, they develop it when they get their first legacy.  Another legacy he has is Lumen, which is the ability to produce heat and light from his hands and the last one is animal telepathy.  He has the ability to communicate with animals.  I believe that he is a dynamic character.  From the beginning of the book, he is always running away and hiding from the Morgadorians. Eventually he decides that he wants to stand up and face them.  This is the one thing he has avoided his whole life.  Without hiding or running away, he fights back with the help from friends and number six, they manage to defeat the Morgadorians escaping once again.
