In the beginning of this chapter, Justin was still thinking about what happened in Ms.Keller’s class that day. Megan invited him to go somewhere today, but he was already going over to Jinsen’s house to help him with a project for art. As he walked over to Jinsen’s house he noticed an old lady leaving it. When Justin walked in the house it was still dark and cold inside. They talked about how Justin’s dad is an artist and if he comes over to his house he can show Jinsen. In Justin’s mind he noticed he had just invited Jinsen over his house and was fine with it. As they were working Justin asked where his parents were. Little did he know that his parents were dead and that the old lady was his great aunt. Justin was mad because he thought no person should live a life like how Jinsen was living his. They took a break from working and went to Jinsen’s room. It was amazing, an unending mural with gods and religious things. Jinsen said he didn’t have a religion and doesn’t believe in that stuff. They left his room and continued working on the banner for art class. …show more content…

I connected chapter 5 to the song La La Land by Demi Lovato. I chose this song because Jinsen never really let other people change the way he does things and that is basically what this song is talking

Since my last reflection, many things have changed in the Rebel of the Sands. So far, there has not been anymore new themes from either the Wild West or Arabian Nights. There has only been a continuation of previous themes like trains, guns, swords, sheemas, cowboy hats, etc. In addition to the Wild West and Arabian Nights themes, I think that there are more realistic themes from the modern world. One of the more realistic elements are bombs. Amani and Jin talk about the bombs that destroyed cities and killed many people. It is one of the sadder elements present in the book.

To start off, one consequence for Val is emotional damage to herself and others. Everytime she and her boyfriend look at this list they see all of the things they hate and think of more. This is probably what made Nick become someone he wasn’t. As people think of more things they hate, they probably end up counting all of them and comparing the amount to the things they love. In Val’s description she said, “ … I smiled because he was going to stick up for me … This was the old Nick — the Nick I’d fallen in love with.” (Brown, 80). In the sentence she says “old Nick” which suggests he had a different personality beforehand. When she describes the “new Nick” it involves drugs, hatred, depression and anger but when she describes the “old Nick”
