Runt


Hey class,

Right now I am reading the book "Runt". In it, a mother wolf gave birth to 4 pups ,Leader, sniffer, runner ,and Thinker, as the father (King) thought, after a little wile King found another pup being cleaned by his mother.

The newly born pup was very, very small for his age. He had black fur with a white star on his chest, just like his father, they called him Runt. As all the other pups got older they also grew, runt did too of course but he was still not as big as all of his brothers and sisters.In my book, King stood guard on the top of the nursing cave.

Heroes Don't Run



Dear Ms. English and Class,


My book is called Heroes Don't Run. It's about a guy joining the marines after his dad was killed at Pearl Harbor. He joins as a Marine and goes into action on Okinawa. My first question is what is Cosmoline? It's greasy and their guns arrived covered in it. They said it's like Vaseline. I guess it's a kind of gas. I also want to know what it's made of. I also want to know why it was covered in it.

Second, how did he join the Marines at 17! The recruiter and his Grandpa allowed it and so did everyone else. He couldn't wait until he was 18 so he came to his Grandpa's and used that as an excuse. By the time he finished training it was late 1945 already. He first had action in Okinawa. If he started in 1942 he should have been in action before that.

Oddly enough he had a friend that was Japanese, but he also lived on the other side of the Sierra Mountains! They both joined the Marines too. Anyway the main reason Davi ( his friend) joined was because they would let his Family return to Hawaii. I haven't finished yet but so far it's pretty good.

Eclipse


Dear Ms. English and Class,


I am reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. So far it is a great book. Right now in Eclipse Bella went to visit Jacob. Bella was so excited to see Jacob and also because if she did not make it Alice would see in her mind that Bella was going there and Edward would come get her. The Cullen's have a treaty with the Blacks that if one of the Cullen's crossed a line they would die. Jacob and Bella walked down by the beach and started talking about Sam Uley. Bella found out Sam Uley had ran away. Also, Bella found out that they don't age either and Jacob is twenty-five years old. Bella got so mad because the Cullen's don't age and now her best friend does not age because he is a werewolf.


When I was reading Eclipse a few questions popped into my head. The first question was, "Were did Sam Uley go when he ran away?" Also, "Why does Jacob want to kill Edward when Edward does not want to kill Jacob. I think that Edward does not want to kill Jacob because he knows it will hurt Bella. And Jacob wants to kill Edward before he turns Bella into a Vampire." Also, one of my opinions is that Bella can go to the Blacks whenever she wants to go, and Edward can not tell her what to do all the time.


Sincerely,

J.A.

Twilight

Dear classmates,

I'm reading as you can see the Twilight #1. It is a very suspensful yet a enjoyable book I enjoy reading it very much!The two main characters are Bella and Edward. Edward as you probably have heard is a vampire who falls in love with a ordanary human named Bella.Bella does not understand how dangerous Edward can be to her, Edward try's to tell her but she will not listen to him. She is to drowned in how much she like's him and how much she wants to be with him that she does not pay any attention to his warnings.



One day when Bella was alone in the city Edward unexpecdtly came up and took her out to dinner and actualy told her face to face that he was a vampire.Shocker!!!!!! Ever since then they have been stuck to each other like magnets, wherever Bella goes Edward goes, wherever Edward goes Bella goes. It is like a pattern. Edward does not want Bella to get hurt,Then what will he do?If he loves her what will he do for her safety?

The Lightning Thief


Dear Class,

The book I'm Reading is The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I just read the first couple pages so I'm going to tell you my prediction. My prediction is that Percy Jackson (main character) will be a suspect for stealing Zeus's great bolt of lightning and he really didn't steal the bolt of lightning. Percy will kill to find the real thief. So he goes to find the thief and then he kills him. I think i will really like the book The Lightning Thief.

Sincerly,

RJM

Bourne Identity


Bourne identity is a REALLY long book but worth it all . it is about a guy who washes up at shore, with two bullet wounds in his back and does not no who or what he is, plus the "helpful" government is trying to kill him. along the way he meets a french girl in London who agrees to tag along with him.....and he ends up protecting her and her family.


It made me feel sad about our government because it showed everything they have from cleaners to spy to assassins, and all mean and lethal. it also shows what he really is and if you want to read the book and don't want me to ruin the first 1/3 of the book, I suggest You do not read the next line.


He is a no-name (erased from file) rogue assassin.

Breaking Dawn


I read Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. This book is about when Bella turns into a vampire and has a kid. Half-human, half- vampire. Then Irina, someone from a different vampire family, sees Renesmee ( Bella's daughter) playing in the snow. She reports the Cullen coven to the Volturi (vampire "kings") because immortal children are illegal. So the Cullens have to find enough witnesses to get the Volturi to wait and listen.

When Carlisle ( Edward's "dad") tells Bella about immortal children,he tells her that they are illegal. I wondered why they were illegal. It turns out that it's because if they get bitten at a certain age, they don't mature or learn. So they don't learn about not keeping the secret- they could expose vampires.


After that, Jacob imprinted on Renesmee. Imprinting is a reaction that werewolves have when meeting true love. How could he imprint on Renesmee when werewolves hate vampires? I still don't get it.


Irina saw Renesmee playing in the snow and didn't stop to ask questions- she just went right to the Volturi to report the Cullens. Why did she do that? Her coven, The Denali Coven, are practically like family. Why would she want to report people that are practically family? It's because her creator, made an illegal child. Because Irina lost her vampire mother to the Volturi, she has become very aware of the law and feels like it's her job to report the Cullens. But why would she report her close friends without proof?

The Cullens had to search everywhere for Carlisle's old friends, to persuade them to beleive the Renesmee was not a vampire child. Some vampires would not allow Renesmee to show them the truth. You see, she has a gift, just like Edward can read minds and Alice can see the future. Her gift is that she can show you her thoughts. All she has to do is touch you and you could see what she wanted you to see. She also matures very quickly. By the time she is 6 months, she knows how to walk and talk. When the Cullens were gathering witnesses, some vampires refused to touch Renesmee. Why? Others in their covens touched her and it didn't do any harm.




The BFG

Dear fellow students and teachers,











I am reading the BFG by Roald Dahl. It is about a orphan girl called Sophie that lives in a cold, rusty orphanage with 12 other girls. One day when she is sleeping she wakes up and sees a giant called the Big Friendly Giant. Well, Sophie doesn't know that at the start, but she finds that out later in the book. Anyways, the giant takes Sophie to giant country where there are 8 HUGE giants that eat people. You might not believe that but it really is true. They don't notice Sophie because Sophie tries to stay out of view. Anyways, the Big Friendly Giant is friendly (obviously) and tries to keep Sophie in his cave.


I had some questions when I was reading this book. The first one was why did Sophie trust the giant when he was so HUGE?? and Sophie was tiny compared to him. I think Sophie was really scared when she noticed all the HUGE giants sleeping. They looked like mountains with their large stomachs. They are REALLY fat. I really like this book because it is really funny and weird.
