"I 'll miss you." She drew me close and gave me a hug, and I assured her I 'd be back sooner than she 'd realize. She then told me that she loved me.

Sarah even visits Luke more than his girlfriend, Melody Mercer, does. Luke realizes that he and Sarah have grown close together so when he gets out of the hospital he breaks up with Melody and asks Sarah out. One of the first nights Luke is out of the hospital, he and his father play catch to see what Luke can still do. At first it is a little hard, but he eventually gets the hang of it.

Luke has taught her to obtain high diligence and has taught her to strive in being independent. In his letter he writes,”So I said you wanted to be with Lorena now that’s she’s due”(228). Once more, Luke is speaking for

“We brought you here because Anna is studying you in class, and needs to ask you some questions .” Paisley said with a smile. “

The start of Luke’s entire life story was his childhood. He was born on July 17, 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia. He was raised on his father’s peanut farm with his brother, Chris, and sister, Kelly. He first discovered his passion for music when he was fourteen after his parents bought him a guitar for his birthday. Soon after, he became good enough with his guitar, and with his voice, to start performing with local musicians. When Luke finished high school, he packed up his bags and got ready to head to Nashville, but before he was able to leave tragedy struck, his brother Chris was suddenly killed in a car accident. At that point, Luke put Nashville on hold and enrolled at Georgia Southern University so he could stay close to his family. After a while, his father saw Luke’s dream slipping away, so he told Luke to pack up

During the story we were mostly informed of Percy, Grover and Annabeth’s journey. During the end is when my feelings toward Luke reversed. Before Percy began his quest he went to the Oracle. The Oracle said “a friend will betray you Percy”, I thought it would be either Grover or Annabeth but it turned out to be Luke. Near the end, after Percy finished his expedition, Luke told him to come with him, outside of Camp Half-Blood. Luke attacked Percy; he unleashed a venomous scorpion that stung Percy and nearly killed him. Luke then revealed that Kronos (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades’s father) told him to steal the master bolt, and the helm of darkness. He’s helping Kronos destroy the gods and mankind. He also tricked Ares to help him by saying a war could start and that’s what Ares likes because he’s the god of war. Now, I’m furious at Luke because he’s really deceiving and almost killed Percy.

Luke ran from his house to her this is my diorama because this is when he meets jen it is important because jen is an important part of the story Luke can’t even sit at his dinner table anymore watch tv, or listen to radio. But jen (the third child) can do all of that. Jen is the kind of the of person to be uncareful and loves getting into trouble when luke it the complete opposite he is careful and believes the government can look at computers tvs etc so he never experienced that when jen did not care about the government she believed that the government were too lazy. Jen did not want to be hidden so she set up this rally where thousands of shadow children to help her in this rally Luke did not go which lead to a fight between him and Jen. she took one of the parents car and drove because her brothers told her how to drive. The place of the rally would be at the white house thinking they can’t shot thousands and thousands of people When only forty kids came. Luke did not know that so he waited by the radio to hear about the

Luke Garner was a third child. Where Luke was from they could not have a third child and if they get caught with three children then they would take the third child away and the parents would get in trouble. Since Luke was the third child he had to hide all the time. (Pg.6) Luke had two older brothers named Matthew and Mark. (Pg.7) Jen's father got Luke a fake I.D. so that he is not like a third child. (Pg.6) His new name is Lee Grant and he goes to Hendricks School for Boys. That school is for boys who are rich.

Luke was orphaned shortly after the birth of his sister Leia. For protection Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda decided separating the two siblings was the best way to keep them save,

Luke let his thoughts go with the dancing lights on the water's surface. Lost within himself, his mind flitted back and forth, touching base with various notions at random. He needed time to prepare himself for the encounter, to lose the heaviness that drew his thoughts back the night before, spent struggling to breach Tyrena’s defenses. Ultimately, he’d failed and punished would likely follow. As luck would have it, Luke had managed to capture Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles. Janson was of no use to the young prince, however, Antilles… Luke remembered him. Perhaps when he was younger, he’d seen him around father’s social gatherings, before the war had started, before his father slaughtered a majority of Corellia’s noble families.

The smell of alcohol drifted towards me, it made me want to puke. Honestly, I have no clue why I came to help Wes and Lucas. Maybe it was the talk my father gave me the day before my freshman year. He made me a promise saying that if I was ever drunk, or if my driver was drunk, etc. I could call him and have him come pick me up. He told me he wouldn't get mad; well I feel so guilty for lying to him about where I was, but Wes somehow had my number and called me, begging me to help him.

plus, they won't waste time trying to get a girlfriend in school and they will make it out of school. Luke is distracted by anabel and they are not getting work done.

In the middle of the night, Luke was walking around in the house, because he needed to use the bathroom, as he walked, not expecting anything, he suddenly heard steps, those steps were really loud as if they were right next to him. Luke stopped and looked around. He spotted a female figure walking next to him. Shoked by this view he just stood there, starirng at this figure. It was repeating the same sentence over and over again “Where are the children” this was too much for Luke to take, he ran into his room and hid under his blanket like a little boy. But this didn’t help him at all! He felt a very strong cold, as he looked over the blanket he say a little figure right next to him. This figure looked like a little boy, of maybe 9 years. After

Luke is sitting on a bed. He appears to be writing. (Closer Look) He is writing in a journal. You begin to hear V.O. from Luke, as random words appear on screen as he’s writing.
