Predictions

Predictions
             
       I just started reading the book I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. This book is about nine people who were sent to Earth as children to escape the Mogadorians, and hopefully save their race. As they arrive they scatter to all parts of the world to enact a charm that was place upon them before they left, because of this charm they can only be killed in number order. They were soon found after they arrived and the first three have already been killed. He is number four. Although i haven't been reading this book for very long i can make a couple of predictions about my future reading.
       First, early in the book the newly named 'John' meets Sarah Hart. I an prediction that John and Sarah will fall in love later on in the book. This could be a text to text connection because I have read many other books, such as The Last Song, The Lucky One, and Divergent, where one of the main characters falls in love with the new kid. Although the author never comes outright and says they like each other the reader can infer this from the following evidence. "She mixes the batter and strands of hair fall in her face while she works. I desperately want to reach over and tuck the loose strands behind her ear, but I don't" page 71. This evidence shows that even through he is not really allowed to, John wants to become closer to Sarah, and evidence later on in the book shows that Sarah was to get to know John better too. "She looks behind her again and quickly reaches into the front pocket of her bag. She pulls out my phone and hands it to me. 'How did you get this?' She shrugs. 'Does Mark know?' 'Nope. So are you still going to be a tough guy?' she asks. 'I guess not'" page 73.
       Second, I think that later in the book the Mogadorains are going to find John. Earlier in the book it says that they have ways to find them but some are easier to track then others, this is why Henri and John are constantly moving and living in very small, low key towns. As John learns to use his new found Legacies  I believe that eventually in the book he is going to have to put them to the test, and defend himself and others with these special powers. An example that led me to this prediction was when the text said "I like the alien war and space games the best. I pretend I am back on Lorien, fighting Mogadorians, cutting them down, turning them to ash."  Again I consider this a text to text connection because usually when a character is given some sort of special power in the book they end up using to defend the ones they love, examples of this are The Incredibles, Spiderman, and Batman. These are my predictions for the book I Am Number Four.
