interview
Morgan: So Reepicheep do you think you were the most valiant of all the worriers in Narnia.
Reepicheep: Well, I believe that Aslan and the kings and queens of old are the best worriers in all of Narnia.
Morgan: I think that you are an amazing worrier worthy of Aslan’s army.
Reepicheep: I’m honored sir you are a kind man.
Morgan: Ok, I need more information about you, so how did you feel when you found out your tail was missing.
Reepicheep: I was completely off balance, confused, and desperate to get it back.
Morgan: So that is why you wanted Lucy to use another drop of her elixir.
Reepicheep: Yes, that is exactly right because as I said before I was desperate.
Morgan: Are you grateful to Aslan for giving you your tail back.
Reepicheep: Grateful! I am in eternal dept to Aslan.
Morgan: Wow! Eternal dept to Aslan just for a tail isn’t that exaggerating a little bit.
Reepicheep: Are you kidding me, my tail is my most prized position I have. It gives me honor, the fact Aslan gave me one in the first place puts me in eternal dept to him, but you wouldn’t understand that because you are not a noble mouse like me.
Morgan: Reepicheep I’m sorry I didn’t know how much it meant to you or the fact that it gave you honor.
Reepicheep: Yes, Aslan gave honor to every creature in Narnia.
Morgan: Well we will wrap this up by talking about Aslan, what are your thoughts on Aslan.
Reepicheep: Wow where do I begin Aslan is the creator of all, master of all worlds he is the oldest creature known to man, creature, and plant.
Morgan: Wow that is amazing thank you for your time and knowledge, it is very helpful.
Reepicheep: you are very welcome, goodbye.
Morgan: goodbye.

Banner in the Sky, James Ullman
I am Rudi. I have climbed the Citadel almost to the top. The Citadel is the largest mountain in the world. It stands unclimbed. When I was climbing it I went through many things. I had to climb up a tunnel to help the others go up the mountain and I almost got stuck. I could not see and water was pouring down on me. This was scary but I kept going and soon I saw light and kept climbing toward it. Once I reached the top I had to throw a rope down to the others and they got it and climbed up with it. Once I did that I felt like I could do anything. Once I was almost at the top someone fell off and hit a ledge and broke his arm. I went to him and saved him by helping him get back up. When I was walking the group could not go on because people were sick but in the morning I had to get to the top so I betrayed the others and went up following a man that also had betrayed the group. The group followed us but when I helped the man they went to the top and we had to come down. I did not finish to the top but if it were not for me none of them would have. I helped the others finish and I will try again to climb it. The two from the group that went to the top were being asked questions and one of them said that it was me that deserved it. I will try again and even though I was not the first, I will be the youngest to ever climb the Citadel.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
So far, I think Wuthering Heights is a great book. What I like best is that there is a story inside a story. One of the characters named Lockwood finds a journal in Wuthering Heights which starts the story inside the story. I also like how the story is told by Lockwood’s journal entries. I also like how every chapter throughout the book makes you think. The book makes you wonder what will happen next. Wuthering Heights is not a book where you can predict what happens next. Everything that happens is surprising. The chapters leave you hanging which makes you not want to put down the book. Another interesting thing about the book is that the stories in Lockwood’s journal are not instances that he has participated in. The stories usually come from his conversations with Nelly Dean or stories he has taken from Catherine’s journal. I like how in the story love causes the characters many problems; this keeps the story interesting. For example, Heathcliff tells Catherine that she has betrayed him by marrying Edgar. When Edgar finds out that Heathcliff has told her this, Edgar tells him to leave his property. Heathcliff refuses to leave which causes Edgar to call his three servants for help which Catherine does not allow him to do. Catherine wants Edgar to confront Heathcliff without the help of other men. Edgar punches Heathcliff in the throat which then causes Heathcliff to leave. This is a great example of how love can cause so many problems. I would recommend it to others who like tragic love stories. Overall, this is a very interesting book to read.

Jamie: Her name is Angeline and she is maniacal, devious, and beautiful. She even made a science project on disease look beautiful.
Me: Jamie, What grade did you and Isabella get on your science projects on disease?
Jamie: I got a B+ and after Isabella faked getting the disease her report was on, she was grounded and I did not think it would be a good idea to ask her about her grade.
Me: What did Angeline get on her project?
Jamie: I tried messing it up, but she still got an A+.
Me: What did you do to try to mess it up?
Jamie: I sort of let my dogs, Stinker and Stinkette, chew it, but somehow that made it look better!
Me: Is Angeline related to you?
Jamie: Unfortunately, Yes. My aunt married her uncle. Once they took us and my friends Isabella and Emily to Screamatopia but we had to pay admission.
Me: What were some of the ways you earned money to pay your admission?
Jamie: We tried a lemonade stand but someone (Isabella) drank all the lemonade. We also tried babysitting, but Isabella is not good with kids. After that we had a car wash and we even had a sign that said “car wash $4.50”. Unfortunately, the 4 in $4.50 fell of and are costumer only paid us $0.50. One of the other things we tried was a garage sale, but the fundraiser that finally worked was walking kids up and down the street on a leash.

Wringer, Jerry Spinelli
Deborah- Hello Palmer, how are you doing?
Palmer- I am doing fine, thank you.
Deborah- In this book, the Wringer, when you are at the age of ten you become a wringer, am I right.
Palmer- Yes, you are correct.
Deborah- Though you didn’t want to be a wringer, you were afraid.
Palmer- Yes, I don’t think its right to be one, all you do is kill a pigeon then you wring its neck, I do not think that it is right.
Deborah- I see. But is it not an honor and a tradition to be a wringer at the annual family fest.
Palmer- It is but I didn’t want to be a wringer, but I am nine and I can’t stop myself from getting older, nor can I stop tradition.
Deborah- Oh, your father, Does he enjoy killing birds?
Palmer- Absolutely, he won a prize for killing all those pigeons. The worst thing is if he knows that I don’t want to be a wringer it’ll get bad.
Deborah- Okay, so this is hard you have a big dilemma here.
Palmer- It gets worse. One morning I wake up to pecking on my window sill and I thought it would be my buddies but it wasn’t it was a pigeon.
Deborah- That’s horrible! Did you tell anyone?
Palmer- Well yes, one person, she’s my neighbor, Dorothy; my friends call her fish face. Anyway I kind of got used to this bird, I gave it food and I let it sleep in my closet too.
Deborah- Did anyone find out?
Palmer- Yes, a couple of my buddies who loved to wring birds.
Deborah- Did they hurt your pigeon?
Palmer- Almost, and once they found out I gave Nipper, my pigeon, to Dorothy to let him go somewhere where they can’t find him.
Deborah- Did she let it go where you told her to?
Palmer- Actually, no. I told her to let it out at the beach but she didn’t, she actually let it out at the rail road tracks.
Deborah- Is that bad?
Palmer- That’s really bad. That’s where they catch all the pigeons to shoot.
Deborah- Oh no, that’s extremely bad. Did they kill Nipper?
Palmer- No, they didn’t, once she told me where she let him go, I raced towards there as soon as I could. When I got there I whispered the pigeon’s name, Nipper to see which one reacted to it because they were all silent.
Deborah- Did you find Nipper?
Palmer- Yes, I did. But once I found him the guard told me to go away because he was bringing the cages to park so he could shoot them. I followed and kept an eye on that cage till they let him go to be shot.
Deborah- Did Nipper get shot?
Palmer- Not exactly, he go shot but he was still alive.
Deborah- What happened?
Palmer-Well he got shot but he was still alive after. When he got shot in the air he fell on my head and was still alive. Everyone just wanted to wring but the referee in the pink cap told me that I could keep him and I left happy!
Deborah- That is one happy ending, Thank you for that wonderful talk.
Palmer- No problem.

Roberto and Me
Dear journal,
I am having a hard time with the choices that I am going to make. There is a man named Roberto Clemente that tragically died. He got in a plane crash wile on his way to Puerto Rico. He was traveling to Puerto Rico to give food to the poor people of his home land. In his home land he was the great hero for the people. I have a power to use a baseball card to go back in time. Whatever year the card was made, that’s the year I travel to. I am deciding to either go to his time to attempt a rescue or I can stay safe in Kentucky. I am risking my life for a great man and taking a risk or I can live my life safely. If I go back in time I might not be able to save him. It is a matter of life and death. I do great or I parish in the attempt. The problem is that I am not the brave kind of person. I am not close to a mighty man of valor. I, Joe Stoshack will be a brave person and I will try to help the great Roberto Clemente. I have made my decision and I am going to help the great baseball player! Hopefully I will succeed in my ”great attempt” to save a great man more worthy than I. I am going to set out on my trip in two days, wish me luck.

The Catching Fire
By: Suzanne Collins
In the Catching Fire the conflict was Peeta proposing to Katniss. She of course said yes because Katniss rebelled against the Capital and had to show President Snow that she loved Peeta. She has a challenge to face because her feelings toward Peeta change and her feelings toward Gale change too. President Snow came to her house and discussed with her the type of rumors spreading in the District.She wou;d have to show that she was not difficult and she will never rebell aghainst the Capitol. Another type of conflict would be when she saw the video of up risings that were happening in District 8. The plan she thought would work was to run away. That plan to me doesn’t work because you can’t run away from problems you just have to face them. In the Victory Tour they would go to each District starting from12 through 1 and face the people’s family that has died in The Games. The pin that the mayor’s daughter gave to Katniss before The Games was a mockingjay. Now, after she won The Games the pin has turned into symbol on watches and on a lot of accessories. One problem would be after The Games and after they got all the money Katniss would still live in their old house. She would still go hunting with Gale on Sundays. Katniss has not changed but on the other hand she is getting married. Another conflict would be the up rises and the Peacemakers killing everybody in the crowd and on the spot on stage.

Lord of the Flies
By William Golding
Dear journal,
I am stranded on an island with a group of immature boys, and they are making fun of my asthma. The first boy I met on this island was Ralph, who pretends to be smart, and he does not have any interest in me. The only thing that caught his interest was when I told him my nickname, Piggy. After I warned him that I didn't want people to call me that, he went and told to the other boys, and since then I have been mocked by them. Ralph used the conch that I found, and everybody voted for Ralph as a leader because he had a conch. Whoever wants to speak has to hold the conch, but whenever I am holding the conch, Jack interrupts me. Some people on this island don't realize that they've got to be rescued. Today we could have been saved by a passing ship, but Jack and his stupid hunters paid no attention to the rescue fire. It was their job to watch the fire, but instead they went hunting for the pigs. When Jack and the hunters returned from their hunt, they were carrying a dead pig. Ralph was mad at Jack for his lack of responsibility. We were here for couple of days and things are getting worse. I don't know what will happen next.

Today is the first day on the space ship and I’m amazed. The thing is I’m all alone and has no friends except Graff (the principle), but I have one enemy which is the Bernard. Him and his posy tried to kill me with threatening words but I owned them today at the Games. The games are just practicing elements you need to learn how to fight. All the other lauch’es, like me, was sitting around watching when I studied the games. One game in particular caught my interest which was a mach of two men battling with their tactics. I asked to play but they told me to beat it. So I made an aggressive move to show them Im better then an older twelve year old. So he agreed to challenge me on a two out of three match. Like I thought, I won. On that night I sent a ton of messages about Bernard to get back at him for making fun of my but when he is the one hated by most of the lauch’es dislike him because of the truth I put out about him. At the same time I miss home. Even though Peter hit me and abused me I always had Valentine to cheer me up but when I left she was the one that made me the saddest. Peter gave me a small touching goodbye and I will never forget my parents. The sad thing is that Graff said that when I get older I will forget of every since I have a war to “lead” and focus on my life not them. I know it is false and I don’t understand why he wants me to be a general or even better one day. I wish I never accepted the offer even if I have to deal with Peter and being bullied by the whole school.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Blog #1
Mrs. Holiday
I like the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowley, because in the very beginning of the book, Harry’s aunt comes over for lunch. And as they are talking, his aunt brings up a conversation about how bad Harry’s parents were. Harry got really angry and casted a spell that made her “blow up.” She was blown up like a huge balloon, and she flew out the back door. She flew so high that she disappeared in the clouds. Soon some of Harry’s teachers saw her and got her down. I also like this book because when Harry was walking through his school, Ron’s twin brothers stop him and give him a blank foldable sheet of paper. They said “I solemnly swear I am up to no good.” Then that blank paper started to show letters then words appeared. Harry soon figured out that this piece of paper was a map of all of Hogwarts. It shows every room, floor and every person inside and where they are. He used this to get to place at night without being detected. And the last reason is in one of Harry’s classes, there is a wardrobe that has a special creature in it. It is a creature that can take a shape or form of what you really fear the most. While Harry was testing this out during class, a dementor came out of the wardrobe and almost sucked the life out of him

Dear Gilda.
In the first chapter you chose to go to Our Lady of Sorrows just to find out what happened with the death of Dolores Lambert. I just wanted to say that I would do the same thing to. I don’t think that Mrs. McCracken is a vampire. I do think that Marcie is a little crazy because a big sister does not need to tells you every thing you need to and don’t need to do. A big sister is who you get paired up with so you don’t get lost in all of your classes. I would want to be pared with another senior/ ‘big sister’. I think your new friend Tiara is a little scary sometimes. When you went to her house I know you thought that she was making every thing up about Dolores Lambert but I don’t think she was. I don’t think it was a good idea when you yelled over the bridge because now Dolores Lambert is out to get you. If I were you I would be scared. I think it is good luck type writing to your father on his machine even though he is dead. I am with you on hating the uniforms. They are so pink. And what is it with Mrs. McCracken and the height of the skirts. I hate your moms boyfriend. I think he is pushing it a little to much with the gifts. I think its sweet that he got you in to the school but the foot ball game is a little to much. I mostly agree with the things you do but some things you just got to change.
Your friend,
Jenah

Left Behind
By Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
Me: Hello Chloe, I am excited to talk to you today.
Chloe: Hi I am excited to
Me: So, what was it like to be left behind from the Rapture?
Chloe: The Rapture?
Me: Yes, you know god coming back to take his church back up to heaven.
Chloe: Oh, you’re one of those religious people like my Dad, he thinks it's something supernatural or whatever but he's just going with the most comforting theory because that means every ones up in Heaven. I'm not saying he's wrong but he just refuses to explore other possible theories
Me: Have you explored the possibilities of it really being God and the Rapture, maybe you are going with the most comforting answer because you don't like the idea that you’re a bad person.
Chloe: Look I just came here for an interview, not to be told how to run my life.
Me: Sorry, anyway how different was it in California than in Chicago?
Chloe: Well, in California it was the middle of the day so it was a whole lot worse because there were more people on the road and out and about. In Chicago things weren’t as bad because it was night. My Dad is a pilot and he was flying to London when it happened so it must have been really scary so they turned the plane back around and flew back to Chicago.
Me: Wow, it must have been really scary.
Chloe: Yeah!
Me: I heard you and your Dad are going to your mom’s church to get some answers.
Chloe: Yeah we are but I hope we have to go in. I hope he lets me sit in the car.
Me: Why?
Chloe: I’m just not into the religious thing, okay.
Me: Just consider it.
Chloe: Okay fine.
Me: Looks like we’re done for the day thank you for joining us goodbye.

Gifted
By: Marilyn Kaye
Being gifted can be a blessing
But at the same time, it can be a curse
When im down, seeing me is usually depressing
When nothing is wrong, everything is reverse
Seeing the future is not as easy as it seems
I try to block them out so I can feel normal
Blocking out visions only happen in my dreams
That's why I always feel so abnormal
People say I'm lucky for having this ability
I say, life would be better without it
I would change it, if it was a possibility
I wish I could get rid of it and just quit
I often help people by using my visions
But they are not always correct
This frequently gets me involved in many collisions
My inaccurate visions, make me feel wrecked
Daily, I experience sadness and pain
But, I make an effort to finish the day
This helps me to not go totally insane
All I have to do is pray, and I will find a way
Soon, I hope to learn how to be grateful
I want my family and friends to be proud of me
I no longer want to be the one who is hateful
Now, I want everyone to see the person that I can be
I can feel something, perhaps a vision coming
Correct. So, I must really be on my way now
I am feeling light-headed and my body is numbing
The picture is getting clearer, thank you, Ciao

The Hobbit is about a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He lives a very peaceful life until one day the wizard Gandalf shows up at his hobbit hole. Bilbo invites him for tea the day after he arrives. He has an unexpected tea party when Gandalf brings twelve guests with him all of which are dwarfs. The dwarfs go crazy and Bilbo gets very frightened. After they all calm down Gandalf tells them of a great treasure guarded by a dragon, and that he needs Bilbo to crawl in the cave and steal the treasure because the hole is too small. Bilbo wouldn’t accept if he hadn’t been the descendant of the great Took family who were famous for adventures. He accepted and they began their journey. Shortly after they began they were all captured by trolls except for Gandalf. He tricked the goblins into staying up until daytime and they were turned to stone by the sun. They steal the troll’s weapons and Bilbo got a magic sword. After that they stayed at an elf town called Rivendell. Their king tells them to go through the Misty Mountains as a shortcut. In the caves they are captured by goblins. Gandalf once again saves them but they accidentally leave Bilbo behind. While trying to get out Bilbo finds a mysterious ring. He learns that it can turn him invisible. He stumbles across a creature called Gollum and they have a riddle contest. Bilbo wins but Gollum wants to eat him. Bilbo uses the ring and His sword to escape.

The Sea of Monsters
By: Rick Riordan
Dear Diary,
You would not believe what has happened to me yesterday. On the last day of school, of seventh grade, no monsters have attacked me, and I haven’t been expelled yet. But I have been having some problems with this bully named Matt Sloan. He started to pick on my friend Tyson, and called him a “freak”. Everyone picks on him because he is homeless and really tall and thick, but he is very soft. So in dodge ball that day, someone threw a flaming dodge ball at my head, but luckily I ducked. I turned around and I saw a group of giant cannibals on the other side of the court. Luckily Annabeth showed up to our rescue. She came and stabbed all of them with her bronze knife. We left the place in burning ruins. Later that day, Tyson, Annabeth, and I hopped into the “Gray Sisters” taxi car to go to Camp Half Blood. All of the sisters (there were three) had one eye and could barely see. So I found one of their eye balls on the floor and had to give it to them to put in their eye socket. When we arrived at Camp Half Blood, we saw two large, bronze bulls attacking the camp, and warriors. Annabeth and I immediately ran out to help and told Tyson to stay there. Clarisse and her warriors took down one bull, but the other got me and Tyson came and rescued me and beat the bull to the ground. That evening I discovered that Tyson only had one eye and that he is a Cyclops. Tyson was then admitted to Camp Half Blood, and he is my new cabin mate!

So far this book is the best book I have ever read. This book talk’s bout when you fall in love and you want to go to parties and do things you know isn’t right. There’s this girl who wants her boyfriend to go to this party but he really doesn’t want to. He finally goes but they play games he has never played before. So the girl gets mad at him because she said he’s not doing the right things. One of the games they play is Spin the Bottle, the other game is 7 Min In Heaven. They play these games and it’s the boys turn they go in and just stand there. The girl gets mad and tells him to leave the party because he is no fun. So he leaves and the night is over. The next day they break up. After all that goes on he goes to the beach and sees this beautiful girl passing by him. He talks to her and then they fall in love. And he forgets about the other girl, and the party that went on last night. This book has a lot of points to it. It teaches kids not to go to parties, and if there playing games like that then you know u have to leave. The chapters explain how the story began and how it ended. I would recommend this book to teenagers not kids under the age of 13. The book is really good once you get past the relationship part.

The Abominable Snowman is a book written by, R.A.Montgomery. This book is a choose your own adventure. It is where you get to choose what you want to do next. At the begining of the book you are a rock climber and three years ago you took a climbing school in Colorodo. in the book your instructer says that you are a natural at rock climbing. After the class you have took, you got to the Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world. They all have different names.The himalayas are like a wall of giant hills that seperate India and China with Nepal. Everest, K2, and Annapurna are the best-known mountains in the Himalayas. These many known peaks have been climed before. It is not easy. On this page you get to decide whether or not you want to go to a meeting. I decided to cancel it. The guy can`t be trusted. His name is Runal and we are going to search for Carlos. First you telephone Mr. Runal at the foreign ministry and say, "This is a emergency, Mr. Runal, my friend carloes is missing at base camp. I need help right now!" The next thing I pick is to go under the base camp in the valley nearby. The helicopter we flu in will stay out in front and you and Runal decend on foot on a narrow, rocky path into the snow line into the forest. The path takes many careful hours on a difficult path. The path becomes very steep and on one side of it is just a giant cliff that falls more than one thousand meters into a lake/stream.

In my book Raina [the main character] is going to a Girl Scout meeting. After the meeting her friend was dropping her off at her house when she had the idea that they should race to the door. As they were racing Raina tripped and fell. Everyone came running outside to see if she is okay. Suddenly she noticed that her two front teeth were missing. Her father carried her into the house as the others tried to look for Raina's teeth. Her mother called the dentist to see if they were open, and they were. Raina went to the dentist that night. The dentist told Raina and her mother that her other tooth was pushed up into her gum. For the next few weeks she went to the dentist trying to fix her teeth. The dentist filled her teeth, pulled down her teeth , and even tried to fix her gums. One day hert dentist told her that she needed head gear and she freaked out, but the dentist told her that she only needed to wear it at night. After the few weeks were over she went back to school and all her friends were wondering what happened and what it looked like.She told her friends what happened and they weren't very nice to her.

The Hardy Boys in
The secret of the caves
By: Franklin W. Dixon
Well, the book I am reading is an older book. It was written a long time ago. It is different from all of the other books I have read. I normally read books that have to do with sports. This book is about suspense and action. The main characters are two young men called Frank Hardy and Joe Hardy known as the Hardy boys. They are young detectives who take after their dad who is a famous detective. The story is about the disappearance of a brilliant young professor. The Hardy boys start their adventure having to go to Kenworthy College to find out what happened to the young professor. I think it is funny how the characters in the book use different words like “she purrs like a kitten” they are referring to their car. Or when they were surprised they would say “jumpin catfish” or “jalopy” for car. When the Hardy boys got to Kenworthy they checked into a hotel, than went to investigate what happened to the professor. They came across a clue when they were going through the professor’s room. The clue was on one of the exam papers that had been left on top of his desk. Frank had told his brother that the clue was right under his nose. However Joe told him that he must have super vision because he was not finding the clue. Frank told Joe to take the first letter from every question and it would spell “R-O-C-K-A-W-A-Y.” Joe whistled. “the name of a town!” The boys were excited to find the clue. They knew that they would have to go to Rockaway and search for the young professor. There are a few more things that I can write about but I am going to share more with you on my next blog. So fare I am really enjoying the book.

The Wave
By: Todd Strasser
Dear diary,
Every day I go to work and have the same conversation with my students “why didn’t you do your home work. Well Mr. Ben I’m a very busy person and want to keep my social life up to date.” I always think to myself be me like this when I was in school. Today I showed the kids a film on the Nazis and his mass slaughter of Jews and the camps they were put in to during the time. After it was over I saw a lot of kids wiping tears from their eyes I felt bad. I didn’t mean to get an emotional response from them I just wanted them to get how strong the German government had gotten. I wanted them to see what World War 2 was about. I got lots of questions afterwards like “how did the Germans just let Jews get killed all around them” and “what is wrong with them how could they kill ten million Jews and not feel bad”. I didn’t know how to answer them so after class I went to the library and got a lot of books my wife was going to be gone so I had time read through and try to give them some answers. After reading I didn’t know what to do. I thought and came up with a idea if I could maybe find a way to make like the Germans to help them better understand what the Jews had to go through told myself I wouldn’t go to bed unless I had a answer are to help them understand what went on.

Dear Diary,
Dad put Joe and I on a case dealing with experimental motors and race cars. We believe someone is stealing plans to boost engine performance and are wrecking all cars using this special motor costing the owner bundles of cash. The first day we were on the case was not what we were hoping for, someone who did not want us involved launched a grenade into our window. Luckily we we unharmed but we found a note saying, “Get off the car case or else the next one will be fatal.” Our dad told us not to worry and we send the note in for prints. The next day we visited the police department and asked if the had anything on the not. Sadly the note was clean so we ignored it. We then went down to the car factory where the race cars were being made. The owner showed us around and then took us into his office. He told us he had no idea who would or could be doing this. We decided that we wanted to work undercover in his business and try to get to know everybody in order to make a list f suspects. We do have one suspect, a metal worker whose brother just quit the company and was mad about it. They were identical twins so we need a fingerprint to figure out if it is the bad twin. Unfortunately, he, being a metalworker, has to work with hazardous chemicals so he wears gloves all day. This makes it very hard for us to ID him. We hope that during lunch he may take off his gloves to eat and we may possible lift a print off a bottle or bag.
Well, it is getting awfully late and my aunt Getrude is yelling at me to go to bed so I must go now.

ReplyDeleteI am reviewing the book "The Children of Hurin" in this blog. It was a very good book filled with heroism, death, and fear. I do feel sorry for Turin (the main charecter) because from the begining he was thrusted into chaos with a curse set on him by the Dark Lord Morgoth. Also because he was seperated from his mom even before the age of ten and moved to doriath the forest elf city, where he was the only human there. Another reason I am sorry for Turin because after many years of living in Doriath he was exiled after a run in with a high elf that tried to kill turin. Because this happened after they got in a humiliation fight ,but Turin wound up accidentaly killing the elf who chased him into the forest then fell on his head in a stream. So turin fearing what the other elves would think, he left Doriath and fled to the wild country. Turin went through many more tragedy such as the time he in an outburst of fear killed one of his best friends, or when he found out his wife was his sister and then her sister died from jumping in to a river from a cliff thinking Turin her "husband' was dead (not realy).His life ended in tradgedy from poision from Gothmog the wingless dragons' (Morgoths pet) fangs. Altogether i found it to be a great read, but keeping track of names was pretty hard. I would recomend this to anyone who liked The Lighting thief series. If you read this use all the tools in the back of your book such as geneology. It is a great book that I very much enjoyed

The chocolate touch
Dear journal,
After I had that weird peace of chocolate my life has bin turned around. Everything I eat turns to chocolate I used to like that idea. Now chocolate is begging to taste bad witch I never thought it could happen. I’ve learned that not everything has to be what I want and my parents are right about what I have to eat. But that also makes me think after this goes away will I not like the other foods I have to eat. I tell my friend’s everyday that there is a point of everything were there is too much. Not everyone believes me about you can have too much of everything and that everything turned into chocolate for me.

The Winged Monkeys have to obey the person that wears the Golden Cap because several years ago the Princess of the North was going to get married. The king of the Winged Monkeys and his band had picked up the groom, while he was standing by the river, and dropped him in the river. When he had come out, the princess came and got mad at the Winged Monkeys because they ruined his clothes. She made them have to obey the wearer of the Golden Cap. That person can only call them three times. The first owner of the Golden Cap was the princess’ husband. He wished that they would stay so far away that him and his wife would never have to see them again. After that they didn’t have to do anything else, until the Wicked Witch of the West had hold of the Golden Cap. She used it the first time so that they would enslave the Winkies, the second was to drive Oz out of her land, and the third was to attack Dorothy and her friends.

Grace- Hey Armpit why are you letting X-Ray be in charge of you ?
Armpit- I really don’t know, I guess I just want to be a good friend.
Grace- Well you can be a good friend and also not be used. All that X-Ray wants is your money, he doesn’t really want to be your friend.
Armpit- I guess your right, well how should I tell him I’m done with his idea?
Grace- I think you should be gentle and say something like, “Sorry pal I don’t have enough money”
Armpit- I don’t know, I think I might blow the friendship X-Ray and I have and I don’t want to lose that.
Grace- Well, then I guess you can stick to your promise, but that means that you will have to keep spending all that money and you might not make any profit. This could be a dangerous decision Armpit.
Armpit- It’s just I don’t know what else I would do because he’s a good friend but he’s also crazy.
Grace- You might be able to get the money back that you spend on the tickets.
Armpit- Maybe
Grace- It will probably be tough to earn it all back.
Armpit- I really wish this decision wasn’t so hard because I really want to keep X-Ray as a friend, but also don’t want to waste my money. What should I do?
Grace- It’s a shame that you don’t get to see Kaira DeLeon all because you hope to make more money.
Armpit- Yeah, I know. I really wish I could see her live and not on television or radio.
Grace- Why don’t you use one of the tickets to go and see her?
Armpit- I don’t know, because if I do then X-Ray will get mad at me and then we won’t get any money
Grace- Well, I hope you find a way to keep you friendship and money. See you later and thanks for the information. Bye.

Percy Jackson and the Oympians: The Last Olympian
Blog#2
The main conflict of this story is the battle between the good and the evil or the gods and the titans. When Cronos comes back from his "death" or his time in tartarus. You see titans never die, they can be killed, but they always come back even though their incarnation may take 100+ years. Gods are the same way. The main characters in this story are: Percy,Annabella,Grover,Luke,and Cronos. Percy and Cronos battle many times and Cronos usually tries to destroy Percy, which he doesn't, or run away and take the cowards way out. They gods and titans always go head to head, but winning a battle is never easy. In the end when Cronos thinks his head monster: Typhon will destroy the gods and Olympus, Poseidion shows up with the cyclopes and beat the snot out of Typhon and send him to Tartarus. Meanwhile, Percy and Cronos have a huge battle while Grover and Annabeth are trying to get Cronos and defeat him as well. In the end,Cronos vanishs or teleloports out of Olympus and runs away because he knew the gods had won that battle, but he would be back for more. With Cronos no to be found and all his warriors dead or retreated, they knew the battle was won, but they also knew that since Cronos was still out there, he would have revenge.

The Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Dear Diary,
It has been tough living in District 12. When I was in the woods I met these girls. Their names were Twill and Bonnie. Bonnie and Twill were running away from District 8. In District 8 there was an uprising and that’s what causes Twill and Bonnie to leave. They tell me that there is a District 13 and at first I did not believe them. Well, they tell me the story of how the Capital uses the same picture of the District every year. It got me wondering why would they do that? Well, we talked, next to the fire, about their plan and how they are going to succeed in doing it. They looked hungry so I gave them the food I brought from home. Well it was shocking when I got home and turned on the news. President Snow was talking, he said that all the tributes will be coming back and there will be twice the kids this year. When I heard this my jaw dropped and I ran out the window. I was so scared to go back into that dark place. Those were tough memories to rethink while we went t go to each district. I talked to Haymitch about it but he didn’t care but when Peeta heard this he went into full mode. What I thought would be we all run away. It sounded great at first but after it didn’t. It didn’t because of how many people we had to bring and how secret it had to be. Well, in District 12 there are no secrets the Capitol knows everything that you do.
