Okay a wrap up of the quarter. I have read, tuck everlasting, finished book 1 of the pendragon series, and I have taken a quick break from the second book this quarter.  Also everybody had done the rules for being human blog.  I though that the human blog was actually not a bad blog option, and I liked actually doing the blog, especially since it was during class so we didn't have to do it at home, and like what I am doing at the moment, typing this at the last second.  I have been slacking of typing these, but I don't enjoy reading in their free time as much as other people do.  I will read, but it is definitely not my first choice of something to do in my free time.  That is why i enjoyed the human blog we done earlie

This is the 7th blog I am typing, and this one is about the book, Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt.  I just felt like switching books, and this was the first book to pop out at me when I looking around my house for a new book.  It's a shorter book and pretty easy to read, but I'm okay with that.  It's a book about girls named Winnie who discovers the Tuck family, who has been blessed/cursed to be immortal at their current age.  Many years ago, the Tuck family drank from this mystical stream that made all them stuck at their current age, except their cat.  Their cat was the only one that died from growing old and dying like normal creatures.  No matter what happens, the Tuck family can not die.  This was a mystical thing to 10 year old Winnie who had gotten herself mixed up with this family, and some people that wanted to take this water and sell it.  I liked it, it was easy to read, but it wasn't to childish as some people might say.

In the Pendragon series, the second book is called Cloral.  Now, like Denduron, Bobby has to try to stop another war from happening.  This time though, instead of being in a primal human time period, everything is futuristic and surrounded by water.  Bobby gets there the same way as he gets to Denduron but he says something different at the entrance of this flume.  He now has to adapt to a whole new survival tactic because of these new surroundings.  He also has to get use to a whole new group of people.  His adventure just keeps on getting better and better.

All your answers lie within us.  Any true answer that we give or ask for, we all have inside us.  To some people your might not be giving the right answer, but you are giving a true answer.  Going through life, we learn and experience many different things.  They can be things that we have learned in class, sports, or even through the death of a loved one, but through these experiences, we become more and more of a well rounded person.  Becoming a well rounded person means having the ability to look at a situation or question from multiple views and then answer the way you feel is true.  True answers aren't just a simple yes or no, but a detail, thoughtful answer.

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.
