Untitled 4

I am done the first book in the Pendragon series and I liked the book.  I now get to continue reading the other books in the series.  I personally don't read much for fun because I don't have the time for it, and when I do, I normally spend that time doing something else to pass the time.  In away it is nice having to read a book of our choice for Lit, but it is just another thing that we have to do.  Now a day, the younger generation doesn't read books at all, but all text messages, or websites off their iPad/iPhone.  Getting back to reading actual books might be a good thing to the younger generation, the more that Mrs. Healey has her classes read books, then blog about them.  This reading and blogging is a good thing because it makes people get away from electronics and causes them to sit down somewhere peaceful, and simply read something that isn't always electronic.  It causes someone to have time to read, not just play on their phones just because, but to have time to sit down and read, enjoying it.  That is why reading is good for the younger generation.

Post Number Three

Well for my third post, I will still be talking about the book Pendragon.  I now realize why all of the Pendragon's belongings disappeared.  Apparently now that Bobby is now a traveler, someone who travels between these territories, he know no longer exists on paper, but the only way that he will be remembered is by giving his best friend Mark these journals that he writes whenever he can.  Those journals are the only thing that tell his friend that he is still alive and hasn't disappeared./died for real.   Mark only shares these journals with Bobby's girlfriend Courtney.  Now after reading this book I really enjoyed reading this book.  It was a fun book to read and it had to do with some relevance to some cultures today.  The poor citizens in Denduron are like a 3rd world country and they are being ruled by a group of high citizens from another country, like slavery.  Similar to Americans's past but the 3rd world citizens had risen up and defeated the higher class citizens, gaining their independence.  There are some morals in books, they may not always be as obvious in some compared to others, but they are all there.

A New Understanding

As I read further into the story, things start to make more and more sense.  I am starting to like the book more because I am starting to understand what is happening.  When Uncle Press dragged Bobby into another territory called Denduron, at the same time, all of Bobby's family and possessions disappeared.  Where his house once stood, was a blank piece of property and any documents that were somehow related to the Pendragons, just disappeared.  Mark had figured all of this out after he had received the journal through this ring that he had mysteriously gotten one night.  That part was confusing but I just put that off until later after I had read more of the book.  As I read more of the book, much more activity was happening and the book had gotten a much fast pace for me to read than in the beginning.  Now with the book switching between Mark and Bobby, it is a little weird because you have to remember what was happening in the journal because what was in the journal was what Mark was talking about, or trying to do something related to the journal.  This book is becoming more and more interesting the more I read it.  

Pendragon

The Pendragon series maybe a little confusing to read at first.  The first thing that you read is a journal that Bobby Prendragon wrote to his  friend Mark.  After reading so much, it switches to a first person narration of Mark.  Then after so long, it goes back to the journals that Bobby sends to Mark.  These journals that Bobby writes are about his life, an autobiography, of what happens to him during his journey.  It takes some getting use to but after awhile, the switching of the narration isn't bad to read.  The book starts off with a teenager getting dragged into another territory by his so called "Uncle" Press.  A territory is like a different universe in a different time compared to our.  The book has some different meanings for words that you have to learn and understand if someone wants to fully understand what they are always talking about.  I have read the begging of the book and I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of the book has to bring.
