Second Independent Reading Book Connection


My second independent reading book is The Wounded Spirit by Frank Pereti. The book can connect to the Greek mythological god, Zeus. A specific quote from The Wounded Spirit is, "Mr. M, fearsome authority figure with a permanent scowl and a voice that yelled - and only yelled - ordered them to strip down," shows Mr. M is bullying his students with his authoritative power. Zeus is like Mr. M because if he makes a mistakes, he tries to fix it, but it only benefits him and doesn't benefit the other. For example, in the movie Clash of the Titans, Zeus decisions are final where he wanted Perseus to live as a happy child, and Calibos was to be punished. It shows Zeus is abusing his powers for what he wants.
