Lord of the Flies


Lord of the Flies is written by William Golding and its the book we're reading in class. At first I thought that this book would be really boring and stupid, but it actually isn't that bad. It is kind of confusing at first because it doesn't explain whats going on right away, but then it gets better. I think its a weird book, but very interesting. Right now, the guys are doing a lot of arguing about different things and they don't all help with everything that needs to be done. I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm glad that everyone voted for Ralph as the leader instead of Jack because Jack is really bossy and mean. Plus, all he cares about is killing a pig, and nothing else. Then there is Ralph who is thinking about more important like shelter and other things like that. I think getting meat is definitely a thing the guys need, but I think they need shelters first, and if Jack and everyone else would help built the shelters then they could go hunting together and have more chance of getting a pig. Plus, when Jack got his first pig, I thought it was really irresponsible to let the fire go out even if he did need everyone to be able to catch the pig, he also promised everyone that him and the choir group would keep the fire going. I don't like Jack very much!!!

Walk Two Moons


I have finished reading Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I love this book. It is all about a thirteen year old girl named Salamanca, known as Sal, who is traveling with her grandparents from Ohio to Idaho. Sal is going to Idaho to look for her mother, who left one day to go to Idaho and never returned. Sal wants to get to Idaho in less then a week because she wants to find her mom in time for her mother's birthday and bring her back. Sal's dad tried to talk Sal out of going to find her mom because he said it would be fishing in the air. But regardless, Sal knows that this journey is her only chance in getting her family back together. During the drive to Idaho, Sal tells her grandparents a story about a girl named Phoebe, who received weird messages, met a "potential lunatic", and who's mom disappeared. Below Pheobes story is Sal's story about her mom. In the end, Sal finds out that her mom had died and that's why she hadn't returned back home. Overall, this book was really good. I loved it.

Eclipse and Breaking Dawn

I finished Eclipse AND Breaking Dawn during the break!!!



Eclipse was good. I was glad when they finally defeated Victoria. Plus, it was cool that the werewolf's and Cullens started working together, that was good. I think it was sweet at the end when Edward, Bella and Jacob were camping out before the fight, and when Bella was freezing Edward allowed Jacob to warm her up. Then on top of that Edward and Jacob had a good talk together. That was cool to see. Overall, I liked Eclipse but its not my favorite book of the series.



Breaking Dawn is my favorite book out of the Twilight series. I really want to have a wedding and honeymoon like Edward and Bella had. The wedding was so great, thats what I want my wedding to be like :). Plus, the island seemed so pretty and nice, it sounded like a good honeymoon location. I kind of expected that Bella would get pregnant on the honeymoon though, and it didn't surprise me that she lived through the pregnancy because without Bella there is really no book. I wish there had been more about when Bella was a vampire because she saw things to differently that it was fun to see the difference. I think it would be really cool to be a vampire!!!!

Overall, the whole series is great my two favorite books out of the four are Breaking Dawn and Twilight. Then Eclipse is my next favorite, followed by New Moon.
