Black Boy

We are done with the book!

Personally, I did not like this book that much. I guess that there were some parts in the text that were very good when he described he feelings. Did I like the plot? No.The author was describing his childhood and the memories he chose were his choice, but i didn't like how he wrote it. Sometimes it was hard to understand, most of the time it was choppy, and then i just didn't think the rest was interesting. I thought it was very depressing; I thought he should have made it more powerful because those events were very painful for someone to look back on.

Besides that, i though the ending in the book was OK because i know that some people did not like it. Although, I'm pretty sure i wont be going on to the second part of the book.

That's just my opinion...

Eclipse

Hello again!!

From where i left off, Bella was in La Push visiting Jacob. When Bella tries to leave, Jacob tries to stop her. They both stay with each other and talk on the beach on "their tree". When she does leave, she is happy because she finally got to see Jacob smile. Afterwards, she goes over to her friend Angela's to help her send out announcement letters. When Bella is there, Angela questions Bella about Edward. Bella tells Angela that Edward is mad at her and is happy that she did because she finally got to have a "girl talk". Later, Edward confronts Bella that Alice (Edward's sister who can see thing that are going to happen) saw her with Jacob. Edward warns Bella to never see him again because it is very dangerous. Bella disagrees with him and then they get into a fight. After Edward cracks a joke, the fight is over and its back to normal.

Do you think Bella is going to listen to Edward?

Black Boy

Right now in class we are reading "Black Boy". This book is about a boy Richard who goes through a lot of struggles with his family. For instance, in the beginning, his family moves to a flat in Memphis where they have absolutely no money what so ever. His father leaves the family leaving his mother with 2 kids to raise by herself. Also, Richard finds himself coming across all kinds of events: becoming an alcoholic at a very young age, he killed a kitten to get back at his father, beat the gang who was mugging him, learned that he absorbs a lot of knowledge, getting beaten all the time, writing the swear words all over the neighborhood's windows with soap, mother having a stroke and ending up moving in with his uncle and many more. He also ends up in an orphanage home, and then moving around everywhere so he has a place to live in and have food to eat because he was always starving.


Throughout the book, all these events tie up to others which are yet to come in this book...what do you think will happen next?

Eclipse

Right now for my outside reading book, I am reading the book "Eclipse" which is the third book out of the twilight series and i must say that i LOVE these books so much! (i know a lot of people in our class who love it too! Don't hide it!)

To give you a midst of the book, it is basically about a girl, Bella, who moves to Forks, Washington and comes across a strangely beautiful boy named Edward who tries to stay away from her as possible at first. Finally Bella gets to know him and finds out that hes a vampire! (I know that might sound strange) Despite Edwards deep dark secret about him and his family, Bella falls in love with Edward and finds herself in many dangerous obstacles just to be with him. In the end, they are happily with each other.

In Eclipse so far, Bella is trying to get Edward to turn her into a vampire so she can be with him forever. He agrees to do it, but only after high school graduation. Bella needs to understand that she can't tell anyone and would have to be away from Charlie and her mother and Jacob. She also has to understand that becoming a vampire is a very painful process to go through. Going on, Jacob stopped talking to Bella because he feels that shes making a big mistake being in love with a "blood sucker". Jacob loves Bella and is very jealous and is trying to keep her safe from Victoria, the vampire who is out to kill her since Edward killed Victoria's love. When Bella pays an unexpected visit to Jacob, he realizes that he really did miss her and can barley live without her! So now Jacob and the wolf pack, and the Cullens(Edwards family) always come across each other and have problems when they hunt for Victoria. There is so much going on right now that you just don't know whats going to happen next and you have sooooooo many questions to ask!

Are Edward and Bella going to stay together? Is Bella going to become a vampire? What will happen to Victoria?
