Reading Today.

Reading today went well, i read a book called Swallowing Stones. Its about a boy getting a a new rifel gun for his birthday. So one day, he brought it over to his friends house to show it off. He pulled the trigger into the air and the bullet shot up and shot a guy who was fixing his roof. The man died instantly. The boy haven't found out until he once heard the radio talking about a random guy who died from a gun shot flying down from the sky. Now he gets suspecious and thinks its his fault, but isn't sure. Thats all i've read from the book so far.

Reading.

So over the semester i read the twilight books. I'm currently still reading Breaking Dawn. LOL. I keep getting distracted. I start reading then someone either Aims me or i want to go check my myspace -__- LOL. So i never get it done. Im so bad. i should like turn off my computer and hide it... until im done reading the book. I WISH! i don't think i can do it.. it would be too hard. lol But i will soon finish it ! :D

So i would like to improve my reading skills, for example continue reading the book as often as possible ! & get it done quicker. lol.Some books im interested in reading are books that include Teen Drama, and such. Something that would catch my attention quick.

Our Book talk went fairly well. It wasn't too hard. Well i didn't find it too hard. Even though they asked me questions their questions weren't really hard to answer. Doing our book talk in front of the whole class that's a different story... In a little group its better & easier. More comforting. (:

Romeo & Juliet; Shakespeare.

I think Shakespeare language is sometimes kind of hard to understand. But then, sometimes it does make sense. From what I've read of Romeo and Juliet so far it has been kind of interesting. Some parts are kinda confusing to understand what they're talking about, but besides that it's pretty good. My first impression of the book was that it might be boring. But then it kind of got interesting after a while. Well talking about it in class was interesting. About how they use to criticize each other back then.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The book The Alchemist has some similarities & differences from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Like for example some similarities would be that, Santiago and Everett both went into a journey. The difference about it would be that Santiago went on the journey alone. Everett had his other friends by his side. Everett and his friends escaped from prison, they were hiding from the police and everything. Santiago was just a teenager, who was a shepherd. But they both had new people they met on the way, to help them. They both got advice from old wise people. For example Santiago had the old king. Everett and his friends met the blind guy on the rail road. They get advice on their journey.

Group Presentations; The Alchemist.

Some things i found interesting and learned about the group presentations are that, Pursuing your personal legend there's always a Narcissus. You should never believe what people tell you, Just keep them in mind, you should always question the advice they give you. When your finding your own personal legend, nature is always helpful. Like Coelho says, "When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it." Omens are always good signs to finding your personal legend.. but only if you know how to read them. Santiago learned from the king. When finding your personal legend, you'll know when is the right time. The principle of favorably will show you how to expect something. Going through and finding your personal legend always brings you a pathway to learning more things, & getting to meet new people like Santiago met Fatima the love of his life, & he learned to speak two more languages. Accomplishing something in life will always lead you to a challenge.

Date.

I finished it ! & it turned out to be really good. i would explain what happens, but from reading my comments from my last blog, it sounds like some of you guys are willing to read the books, So I'll let you guys find out yourselves ;) Hehe, i enjoyed reading them.. So i hope you will too. But i gotta say it is kinda girlyy lol. Now, i will continue reading Breaking Dawn<3

Some common things about the book with my life is that they go to prom& im hoping i will go to mine :] They go through boy problems and of course we all go through relationship problems, either with our parents, friends, or our significant others. I think the most important event in the whole book is going to Prom. Relationships are very important in the book too. During the weeks before prom came, all three girls had relationship problems. i think anyone could read the book. If you like Teen Drama books, then you should read it. But, the book is really predictable. I think i can compare with Nisha.. Because my family doesn't let me date either.

Alchemist.

What i learned about the Alchemist, is that to always follow your heart. Become friends with your heart. Also if you set a goal, you should always accomplish it, because you may regret it later on with life. How Santiago's, life was so adventurous, how he had his ups and down, & it all lead him to his personal legend & treasure. So things do happen for a reason. &if something keeps happening again, and again it must be a sign. The Alchemist book was very goood ! (:
