Reading liffe!!=D

Well this semester so far has been fun. I have read three books. I have read Twilight, New Moon, and After Burn. I really like the twilight series and I am working on buying Eclipse. After Burn is a really good book, and it is great love story. After Burn is a book that is enjoyable to read and it has a nice point. The twilight saga is very intresting and so far I havr enjoyed both Twilight and New Moon. I actually read all of them and I was soo into the story that I read everyday all day. Haha. and i finished both books in less than a week. I am anxious for reading Eclipse. I am excited too. I did my book talk on Twilight. I think it was pretty easy to do the book talk in front of my group. I liked it better with Ms. Crabtree, but it was very intresting to hear about the other books that my group had. It made me want to read their books. I also like grading haha. i gave my group good points. I think this semester so far i have been good in reading. A way I can improve is by reading instead of wasting time. I really like reading so that will be no problem.

Romeo and Juliet

My first impression on Romeo and Juliet was that it is very complicated to read. This is because the way Shakespeare wrote it, is very coimplicated, but if you put sense in the play and the meaning you will eventually find out what the meaning actually is. I thought it was pretty intresting and i like the dirty parts.haha. Well i really wnat to keep reading although it is going to take a while for me to find out the mordern day meaning. It is fun to read aloud with the class, because we can really get into the play and it is intresting to hear the word that get emphasized. I really enjoyed the first scene and I like to learn the modern day meaning of phrases used in Romeo and Juliet. I am looking forward to get to read lines in the play.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?&The Alchemist

How the movie, O Brother Where Art Thou? connects to, The Alchemist,is bcy the way both Everett and Santiago go on ajourney. They are both tempted by obstacles to not accomplish their journey, but as well they do. They are both going on a journey and they both have many obstacles they get past in their adventure. They are both experiencing new things in their journey, and they have obstacles that they liked and they also have some obstacles they disliked. Some similarities between Everett and Santagio are that they are both going through their journey, they are both in love with somone =D, both are trying to get somewhere, and they both were told not to continue but they didn'y give up.
