Millions

Dear Class,

The book I am reading is called Millions by Frank Cotterell Boyce. I have only read a few pages so I am going to make a prediction for what is going to happen. I think there is a family and they are very poor and they need money. And one of the boys is walking and they see a big bag of money drop right in front of them. He picks it up and runs home when he gets home he sees there is over a million dollars!!!! They start figuring out what to spend it on. Then in the bag is a note saying there is only 17 days you can spend this money! The family is stunned. They wonder what to do with it and then...... I think they..... buy smaller stuff that will help them and they buy stocks to make money while the 17 days are over. I think the author wrote this because it could entertain readers and it teaches you that money is all that is important in life. I think he chose the title because the family gets MILLIONS of dollars. I would chose the same title also. I think this book will be great.

breaking dawn

hello class ..I'm not sure that i have talked about this book breaking dawn with you yet!

well here we go
Edward and Bella have a small wedding at the Cullen's house after the wedding ...Bella and Edward go on their honey moon on Esme's island! Bella finds out that she is pregnant with a half vampire half human baby that is a girl. they name her Renesmee Cullen because Renee is Bella's moms name and Esme is Edwards moms name!i think that this part is important to the author because it really gets everyone interested in the book!because no one knew that there was such thing as a half vampire!

when Bella is giving birth to Renesmee she(Bella) has to be turned into a vampire because she cant handle all the pain since Renesmee is ripping up her bones:( so since Bella is a newborn vampire she cant see Renesmee till she is about ready to handle seeing a human or half human!finally Bella gets to see Renesmee she sees Renesmee and of course falls in love with her in a motherly kind of love but Jacob falls in love with renesmee in a boyfriend and girlfriend kind of love! Bella gets mad at Jacob at first but then she doesn't really care that much! the picture i saw in my head was of bella hapily holding renesmee knowing that everyone is safe and happy!


so Bella and Jacob take Renesmee hunting and Irene sees Renesmee and thinks she is a immortal and since Irene is currently mad at the Cullen's since they killed her friend Laurent she goes and tells the volturi!which gets the volturi mad even though Renesmee isn't a immortal she is a half human half vampire baby but Irene doesn't know that! the volturi get mad and they bring everyone and come hunting after the Cullen's! so Edward and Bella Cullen and the rest of the Cullen's and werewolf's find witness's to explain and prove that Renesmee is not an immortal....the volturi comes and they find out Renesmee is not an immortal and everything is okay! the picture i saw in my mind was all the witness with renesmee standing on one side and then all the volturi and irene on the other side!

i think that in this book the suthor stephenie myer saw that there needed to be something new to concentrate on other then just vampires fighting so to have a new born baby in the bok that was half human half vampire is really cool so i think she did a very good job on everything like she always is!
thank you for reading my blog

THE END OF BREAKING DAWN!

Dead Girls' Dance (Second book out of The MorganVille Vampires)

Claire Danvers has her own challenges-like being real smart in school that favors beauty over brains, dealing with homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is run by vampires. She has a great roommate, Micheal. (who tends to disappear at sunrise) and a new boyfriend, Shane. (who is also her roommate) Shane's vampire-hunting dad has called in for backup: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything.

Now a fraternity is throwing its annual Dead Girls' Dance and-surprise!-Claire and her equally outcast best friend Eve (which is another on of her roommate) has been invited to this party by a guy Claire ran into at the campus coffee shop. When they find out why, all bad things are going to break lose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out, and everybody is starving for blood.

In the book Dead Girls' Dance I am at the part where Eve is going crazy because she wants to go kill Oliver (which is a vampire) to get Shane. They put Shane in a cage that is really small, small enough he cannot stretch out. He is in there because Oliver and Amelie (head vampire) thinks that Shane had something to do with the death of Brandon. (a vampire) When really Shane had nothing to do with it. Micheal has locked Eve in her room because if she is out she will run away to save Shane and risk the chances of dying. And Micheal will not let Eve die. Claire is going to a house that she had accidentally visited before, because that was where Amelie was. Claire is going there to convince Amelie that Shane had nothing to do with the death of Brandon.

The Vampire Diaries The Return: Shadow Souls

Dear Readers,
I am reading The Vampire Diaries The Return: Shadow Souls.By L.J. Smith. You have probably heard of this Series before because some people in my class have read it too. I am on page 142 and sorta started over trackout. Anyways, In the third book of the seris Stefan Salvatore Elenas Boyfriend (who is a vampire) Was captured by 2 demons name Misaio and Shinichi. So, in the begining of the fourth book the one I am reading now Damon Salvatore ( Stefans brother he is a vampire too)Is on a road trip with Elena to the underworld to get Stefan from the Demons. And also another person is in on the trip and his name is Matt Honeycutt and he is Elenas old boyfriend who would do anything for her.( He is human) So Elena is in love with Stefan but on the way she starts to fall in love with Damon who wants her to be his Princess of Darkness. But Matt sees Elena and Damon kissing and runs off back to his house because of his fustration. So that was a major negative on the road. Another negative is Shinichi is still not done with Damon, he takes Damons memories so he can't remember what happened on a very important night. The only thing he remembers is who Elena is and where Stefan is hidden in the underworld( A place called Shi no Shi for vampires and Demons) and how to get there and where the keys are hidden to Stefans Cell in the Shi no Shi. that is how far ive gotten but here are some Questions and Answers.



- The picture I had in my mind was when Elena had a OBE ( Out of Body Expeirence) And she was with Stefan in his jail cell at the Shi no Shi. Though she was only a spirit and her real body was asleep in the car. But she could still talk to Stefan. But this is the cool part they were both thinking about each other so that was why Elena had an OBE.I thought it was her in her lace nightgown and Stefan in his ragged clothes and how embarrassed he must have felt. And how Elenas tears were dripping from her pail face onto his flushed face. And how the jail cell was made of cold iron and was unbreakbly strong. And how sad but romantic the moment was.

-I think L.J. Smith cares alot about Damon because she wrote Stefan away to let Elena and Damon spend more time together. And that is alot of time.

Thank you sooooo much for reading!!!:):):)Have a great day!!!

Inkheart

Inkheart is about the girl Meggie and her father Mortimer (she calls him Mo) and starts with them in there house (to avoid arson....they have to move alot)(Meggie doesn't know that) where they are bookworms, Mo's courier is a bookbinder (Meggie calls him a book doctor) and one night and old friend of Mo's the (precariously named) dustfinger. That changes everything and soon they are kidnapped by the man here father (and dustfinger) fear the most, CAPRICORN (yeah, that's his name) meggie later finds out that her father has a reading voice so beautiful that it can (literally) bring books to life, and summon objects from the story from it) this happens at random, there is no possible way to controls his power) and that is why he never reads out loud

Dustfinger Capricorn and Basta (his REALLY loyal and evil henchmen) are all summoned from the book on accident while he read it to Meggie (as a young girl) and you wont believe what happens from summoning them? his wife (Teresa or "Resa") is sucked in!!!

After escaping they find the author Fenoglio and try to get him to give him the last copy of the book that summoned Capricorn (Fenoglios pride and joy in all the books he wrote) as they were burnt so Capricorn can stay in this story (our world).

After being kidnapped again (with Fenoglio too) Are set to be executed...but Meggie can read too!
(Her father was not kidnapped, Bastas fatal flaw is that he is extremely superstitious) and then they find out that Fenoglio can write a story to control the world around them if Meggie reads it!

They are later to summon "the shadow" (I almost screamed at the description) to kill themselves or they will die a death of bleeding (a bad one BTW) So Fenoglio rewrites that page and she is supposed to summon him to kill Capricorn (she can't so Mo sneaks in and does)
Mo must have no feelings....

This story is cool because it has a interesting twist, when the stuff is read out of the book (with one minor exception) it is lost, sometimes it can't breath or is missing its love (the Nutcracker) and with the help of Fenoglio can even have a Happy ending! If Winnie the pooh bear came out, would he want to play? or sit in a corner and mope about his lost friends (a debate handled in the book) and some of these made me cry (read the end of that book about the paper ballerina and the nutcracker...comment if u know the real name) and were some what fixed so Meggie would not hurt anything (she has a guilty conscience).

Another is how much fate is put in this story, is our world but another one? lying on the shelf of a super beetle with laser vision's library? Can you tamper with it? Rewrite the story so everyone has a happy ending, or is it to late? when the books timeline ends can the story be rewritten so that it really happened? (Does this even make sense too you?)

This book was made to show stuff the way they really would be, a animal (like a fairy) would be lost here, bumping its head against a window over, and over, and over again, till fate catches up and finished its story.

The author is probably proud at how much this enigma made readers think and how the villain was no stereotype, but a man with no feelings, guilt, and respect and would remind me of Al Qaeda in the real world! This story is the most realistic fiction i have ever read!!!!

Surviving Antartica reality TV 2083

This book is about a future where to get a scholarship you must pay it (it is very hard), win a dice toss, or historical survivor a contest. Education is from TV or EduTV. 5 kids go to Antarctica to relive Robert F. Scott's failed Antarctic expedition. They had motor sledges that failed like Scott's , 2 ponies and a pack of dogs like Scott, and the food Scott would have eaten. One person got his toes amputated!! Then a man named Steve at the studio saved them by telling them to rescue Andrew who was stuck in a crevice and he almost died. Finally. they got rescued because of the President's intervention.

Melian Dialogue: Athenians vs. Melians

In ancient time, after the Athenians attacked the neutral state Melos , the Melians tried to negotiate a peace that they claimed to the Athenians "we will be your friend and no ones enemy". The Athenians didn't want to lose face and be considered weak as leading state, so they kept with their old deal to the Melians: "Surrender and pay tribute to Athens or be destroyed". The Melians argued that the Gods were on their side and that their Spartan kin would help protect their State. The Athenians countered by saying Gods and Humans alike respect strength over moral arguments. Overall the Athenians said "the strong will do what they do and the weak shall suffer what they must"and also saying "there is no shame in surrendering to a stronger enemy". The Melians rejected and were subjected to a siege and were eventually taken over. All adult men were killed and women and children were sold into slavery. This is a example of Realism in International Relations because the order of Nations had to build upon the relative strength. The weak has to obey the strong.

the hunger games

Dear class:

The book im reading is called the hunger games. Its about a girl named katniss who gets picked and is forced to go in to a game called the hunger games. The most important rule is to fight for death and its on live t.v! This game also choses a boy and girl to fight in an arena. You can use wepons like knives, swords, and bow and arrows ect. Katniss has a sister named Prim who was chosen to go to the hunger games but Katniss didnt want Prim to die at the age 12 (ages 12-18 go to the games)! Katniss is now fighting someone from district 8 (did I also mention that there are 12 districts) and shes hiding in a forest which the forest is part of the arena. She also meets a guy named Petta and he and Katniss is in my opinion are acting like they love each other on t.v.

How in the world did katniss mom get that name? Will Katniss survive or will she face her death? Could Katniss win the games?! I will recomend you all read this book PLEASE do!

Sincerely,

Mark

Katniss Peeta

Paul Bunyan

Dear Fellow Friends,

I am reading Paul Bunyan By: Mary Pope Osborne. This Tall Tale is about a big baby named Paul Bunyan who weighed more than 100 pounds when he was only 2 weeks old!!! Paul Bunyan had a big curly black beard, which his mother had to comb it with a pine tree! when the baby was 9 months old he started crawling and since he weighed over 500 pounds, he caused an earthquake that shook the whole town! When the neighbors complained, the baby's parents tried putting him in a giant floating cradle off the coast of Maine. But soon a delegation of citizens went to the baby's parents and said, " We`re sorry , folks, but you have to take your son someplace else. Every time he rolls over in his cradle , huge waves drown all the villages along the coast". So then his parents took Paul Bunyan to a cave in Maine Woods far away from civilization and said good- bye! Read More of my blogs to find out what happened to the big baby!

MY CROP QV'S

1. How can a baby that is 9 months old be 500 pounds?????

2. I feel Really sad that Paul Bunyan's mom and dad said goodbye and left!!!!

3. In my opinion , I think that babies don't have beards when they are little!!!!

4. My prediction would be that Paul Bunyan would be like a giant when he grows up!!!

5. I can visualize the big baby who was 100 ponds when he was only 2 weeks old!!!

Ark Angel

Ark angel is about a British m16 14 year old agent (but much bloodier then that stupid spy kids thing) and if you read it you may decide spies are not the best job...

At my point in the book our hero has been shot by a sniper put in a hospital with large stitches protected a (almost) kidnapped roommate, got tranqed, used trapeze walking and his own blood covered (bloody) stitches to balance on a tight rope and get to safety from a building, he has been at gun point twice now and almost killed! the group he is being destroyed by is called force three (named after the third planet from the sun) (earth) and they are basically Eco terrorists, they wanna protect this world by killing (usually blowing up) anyone that makes an enemy out of them, including Alex (the protagonist) who almost killed his men to save his roomate! THIS IS EXTREMELY SUSPENSEFUL AND SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH FOOD!

So I feel at the brink of suspense because ANYTHING could happen (except laser shooting Pegasus demons from the moon).
