I am Found


Author's Note: This is a piece about me responding to the book Found.  This piece talks about bravery and why and when we need to use it.

“Nine-one-one, Jonah thought, of course.  His knees almost gave way at the thought that a bunch of police officers in dark uniforms would soon come swarming the cave, saving them all, saving Jonah from having to make any more choices, any more mistakes.” (272)  Found, by Margret Peterson Haddix, is a thrilling mystery that begins with an unidentified airplane filled with babies landing at an airport.  The story describes how two kids from the plane try to find the truth about their past. The author teaches readers you have to be brave when times are hard.

In the story the characters need to be really brave because they encounter some really scary things like ghost, crazy janitors, and a bunch of other weird people who try to stop them from finding out who they really are.   Also, in a different book called Among the Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix the main character has to be very  brave too  because he shouldn’t even be alive.  Another example of bravery in the book Found is when the two main characters ,Johan and Catherine, have to fight off the wicked JB from sending them back in time.
Even though the characters in the story have to be very brave people in real life have to be brave too.  A few people who have to be very brave are anybody who has a disease.  If someone in your family has cancer or that is really sick you have to be very brave.  Plus, in the book the kids have to be brave because if they try to get back to their normal time it might break the future making everything a lot different.  Lastly, people have to be brave because if they were afraid of planes and they had to do a business trip they would have to brave and go on the plane.
In your life you always need to be brave and the Margret Peterson Haddix teaches reader why.  All of us need to be more brave in life.
