Lord of the Flies!!

Wow this week we have been reading a lot about Lord of the Flies. Some people think this is a confusing book I would agree, but we have been going over it in class and it is starting to get easier.

Most of you guys know what it's about probably because you're reading it too. In chapter one we find out that a group of boys crashed on an island. The group does consist of mainly older boys, but there are a couple of younger boys in there too. They are called the "littleluns." After one comes two of course. In this chapter basically they wanted to start a fire to get out of there because realistically who wants to be trapped on an island for the rest of their life.

Jack and Ralph are considered the main leaders "Piggy" wants to be, but he just doesn't have a charismatic impression on him like Jack or Ralph. It's OK though because Jack and Ralph give a good variety of leader ship amongst them because one has the way to get out well the other has the way to freedom.

Romeo & Juliet

Hey sorry I haven't been reading much Romeo and Juliet has been keeping me busy. Not only with the paper but the book as well even know we just finished thank godd!!! I'm not saying it was a bad play and all it just took way to long to do and believe me it was a long time to read a month or two right.

So that's basically why I haven't been reading. Other than that I have had a ton of home work in math too its starting to get to be to much, but hey its high school isn't that the way it is suppose to be. Also we started lord of the flies I hope that book will be a good one. It is really hard though to understand. I just don't get it. I asked Ms. Omernic today our "Sub" and she said the exact same thing and I am pretty darn sure that I'm the only kid that doesn't get it well that's all see you next week.

The Tail of Despereanx "IM DONE"

Ok I'm officially dropping the book. Mainly because it's over do, it's also really boring, plus Romeo and Juliet is getting too be way to much. So that's why I'm letting the Tail of Despereanx go.

Why did this book go so low on my reading list?? Mostly the way she wrote it READER what do you think now how bout now, do you agree? Some times I wonder how that book won a Newberry award, plus its getting a movie how exciting.

Well that's all, but don't take my word to hard some people really love this book and can't put it down, but I guess what ever floats your boat right.

The Tail of Despereanx "To The Dungeon Part 2"

As we already know Despereanx is in the dungeon. He fears that he is already too late and will not can not save princess Pea. "Once upon a time" screams into the darkness "Once upon a time" he repeats himself. He is surely dead, but the loudest of all voices probably the biggest of all rats respond.

"A knight in shinning armour." All of a sudden he is swooped up and cupped by this hand. It is a man!!? Greg is his name. This guy is the keeper of the jail almost a prisoner himself. He knows all about mice and rats. He asks Despereanx to tell him a story to save his life.

Ok so that was the main thing that went on in this chapter. Okay maybe it got a little bit better from last week, but still its just not working out. This book is so boring in my opinion. A way it got better was more action in the beginning it was just a classic fairy tale love story. Not like Romeo and Juliet though. A little bit younger age. Speaking of Romeo and Juliet it is starting to get fun, but complicated. Well that's all this week math home work time haha.

The Tail of Despereanx "To The Dungeon"


In these several chapters Despereanx is sent to the DUNGEON because as you know he broke the biggest of all mouse rules he talked to the humans. After the other mice found this out they held a "castle mouse meeting." They discussed the fate of Despereanx in this meeting and he is destined to live out the rest of his life in the dungeon.
Honestly this book is kinda starting to get annoying is constantly says reader reader reader. Way to much repetition of the word reader. Plus it is meant towards kids seriously why do they have this book in a high school library if it is about a mouse and his fairy tale haha. I guess the book does have some good morals though, but it should not be in a high school library.
Well if I don't finish this book by December 10th and at the rate I'm reading I probably wont then I will drop it. One reason is because its due. Another is because it's super boring. Finally we will be starting our Romeo and Juliet and I really can't handle two fairy tales. That's all see ya next post.

The Tail of Despereanx



This week I started a knew book. It is called The Tale of Despereanux. It is about a mouse that was the only born of the liter that made it and he was born with his eyes open, his ears to big, and he has a diease.

Its kinda sad actully, but he is not a mouse to the family or the other mice. He just is to weird he likes music and literature instead of food and scurrying. The other mice say he's a dissapointment, but they deal with it.

Untill now Desperanux broke the biggest of all mouse rules he gave himself up to a human that was once the only thing that made him normal, but now that he did that he is called upon the metting of mice. To give him a punishment.

Well that is how far I got this week it actully goes pretty fast compared to what I thought it would be. See you guys later bye.

The Lost Boy "Adrift Part Two"



On the second half of the chapter Adrit, David has to go to a psychiatrist. His psychiatrist is kinda well lets say mean. He's doing his job, but its just so annoying the way he does it.

Basically he says Daniel instead of David and makes Dave feel very stupid. The Doctor is always trying to get into Dave's mind. Seriously can you believe this he goes to David "Daniel" and asks do you remember when your mother burned you, do you think its your fault? Even if I was crazy I wouldn't live like that.

Later on in the story Big Larry (one of Davids older foster kid friends) asks if he wants to go bowling with him. David immediately said yes and they biked through the town of Daly City. David passes Thomas Edison Elementary and remembers everything and it gets even worse they go down David's old street and sees the old house. All of a sudden his brother spots him!! And when they got home there was hell to raise by Ms. C. She was furious and said that David could be taken away for doing something like that.

All and all this book gets better than worse than better again it still has the capacity to keep my attention, but I just don't know for how much longer.
