Independent reading-Reading skills

For the book The Host I made predictions throughout the book. In the beginning I thought that Wanda would be taken over by Melanie and Wanda would be taken out of the host body. This prediction was not correct because Melanie did not have enough power to do this. In the middle of the book I thought that Jared would kill Wanda when she showed up at the underground cave. He did not kill her and then I started to wonder how Jamie would react to her prescence in the cave. I thought that he would be curious and this turned out to be true. Jamie snuck to the end of the cave where Wanda was and was spyingon her because he wanted to know more. I predicted after that, that the humans would be captured by the seekers. Although a seeker did find them, they were not captured. I wonder why the other seekers let that seeker go looking for the humans by herself? I think this book relates to the world because the humans judge Wanda by what she is not who she is. This relates to the world because often racism occurs and people judge what a person is like based on what they look like. This book also reminds me of the book Twilight. Like The Host, Twilight has an "alien" or not real species in the novel. In both books the main character fallls in love with someone that isnt thier species and who are dangerous. The Host relates to me because Wanda does in the book, I form my opinions on people based on thier actions and character.
