About time

This week I read the other half of the book called 'About Time'. As I said before this book is about Einstein's unfinished revolution. I don't really know how to explain this book because a lot of the sections are different. It is really interesting and I think that everyone in the class should read it. It has a lot of things about:
-space time continuum
-time and math

About TIme

This week I read half of a non fiction book called: About Time. This book is about Einstein's unfinished revolution, this book is really interesting and i cant really think of anything else to talk about it because it is really confusing. As I said this is really interesting and i think that everyone should read it.

This week as some of you probably already know, i read flowers for Algernon. This part of the book was probably most about his downfall. His IQ starts to go down. And something that i found amazing was how fast he went up and got smart and also the rate that he went down and how fast he got worse again. I don't really want to give too much away but he goes through a personal, and emotional challenges.
As i said I think that everyone in this class should read it. It is a pretty sad book but it is AWESOME.

This week for my book group i read flowers for algernon. I REALLY like this book. Of course you all know it's about Charlie Gordon who is a retarded person. He goes through a sergrey and slowly starts becoming smarter. Charlie goes through the emotional feelings of realizing the world from a diffrent angle. He starts realizing things like his friends aren't really friends. As he keeps getting smarter and smarter and as he passes the people who made him this way, one of his big problems is that no one is treating him like a person everyone treats him like a lab rat. Also, Charlie and Algernon    become close and you start to wonder if Algernon symbolizes Charlie's inner self........

This is a really good book and everyone that isn't in my book group should read it.

Mister Monday

This week I read the first book to keys to the kindom: Mister Monday, this book is about a kid named Arther who during an asthma attack is handed a key by mister Monday . Mister Monday is a strange man that is from the house or what they call the Epicenter of the universe. Arther under the supposition that he is about to die and the key would return to its original owner? Therefore it would fulfill Mondays part of The Will an text that had been broken. However he survives with the possession of the key and he is suddenly must fight off Mondays henchman. This book is one of my favorite stories and I recommend it to anyone. It is a very confusing book but it makes sense when you read it. Q

This week I read The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien and it was actually as good as everyone said it was. This book is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Gandalf the wizard shows up at his door after 13 dwarfs have knocked on his door first. Bilbo gets invited to go on a journey. They find themselves in a cave with goblins. Gandalf must kill the chief goblin for the dwarfs not to be killed. Then they try to run for it. Bilbo is dropped and knocked out and when he awakes he finds a creature named Gollum. Gollum challenges him to a riddle contest and Bilbo wins. Bilbo figures out that the ring can make you invisible, Gollum thinks he stole the ring so he runs out of the caves. While invisible Bilbo finds his way out. I don't want to give the whole story away so ill stop there.

This is a really good book and i think everyone should read it if you haven't already.

Endangered

This week i read 'Endangered' by Eliot Schrefer. This book is about a girl named Sophie. When Sophie has to go visit her mother at her sanctuary for bonbons, she finds a young bonobo named Otto and for the very first time in her life she feels as though she is important in someone else's life. However, an armed revolution breaks out and they both must escape into the jungle unprepared and they have to struggle to eat, sleep, stay warm, and stay safe.

This is a very good book that I recommend to anyone even if you don't LOVE monkeys (and apes) I would say that this book would be in the action/survival-fantasy genre.

Forgive me Lenard Peacock Book response

This week i read Forgive me Lenard Peacock by Mathew Quick. This book is very interesting. It is about a 18 year old kid who gets bullied at school because people think that he is gay. He is thinking about commuting a murder-suicide. To his former best friends. Today was his birthday and he wanted to say goodbye to everyone he cared for in a proper way.

This book gives you a whole different view on the world  I would only recommend this book to second year AS. I would say this would be in the Coming of the Age drama genre.
