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.
