Warm-Up Wednesday #5 & Waiting on Wednesday #2: The Power of Six

Warm-Up Wednesday is a "meme," just like Music/ Movie Monday and Thursday Interpretation. In this weekly post, I will be using warm-ups that my R/LA (Reading/ Lanuage Arts) teacher gives us everyday. It probably will not be everyweek, though, because right now I don't have very many of them. All of the war-ups I will be posting on here have to do with making a choice or decision. Our choices/ answers have to be in paragraph form.

This week's question:

What is your definition of "success"?

My answer:

My definition of success is "the feeling of accomplishment." Of course, not everyone feels like they have ever been successful, but if they feel like they have accomplished something, then I believe they have reached success. To some, success is accomplishing something big, like the Olympics or making it to the point of graduation. Personally, I think even the lesser accomplishments are a meaning of success. Even small things are accomplishments, which is why I believe that success is "the personal feeling of accomplishment."

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over @ Breaking the Spine; we are to give a book that we are anxiously anticipating the release of. I probably won't be participating every week, but I will try to post every so often.

This week's spotlight novel:

The Power of Six (Lorien Legacies, #2)
By Pittacus Lore
Publication Date: August 23rd, 2011

From GoodReads.com:

I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.

Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us—if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another . . . but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio—and failed.

I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.

And I'm ready to fight.

What book are you looking forward to?
