I AM GOING TO MISS THIS CLASS SO MUCH!!!

10th Post(Hurray for double digits!)

I am Reading Catching Fire by Suzane Collins and im going to tell u right now that this booko is amazing. PLEASE STOP READING IF U WANT TO READ THIS BOOK! I love using caps lock. So this is a huge twist to what i thought was going to happen. I thought Katniss and her friends were going to find if there was still a district thirteen. Boy was i wrong. For the 75th Hunger Games, previous victors will go to the arena. So that means katniss and Peeta, considering he voulenteered for Haymitch, the local drunky. I was shocked because this is about the worst thing a person is forced to do in life and victors usually have immunity from the reaping. So the Capitiol is angry that KAtniss almost took her life and thought that she made a fool of the Capitol and it's (stupid) games. But caome on, take away her winnings and maybe scar her with fear, but back into the games, thats shallow even for the Capitol! Cant put this book down, cant wait to poast more(wink wink).

Hello. I kinda gave up reading Elephant Run. I guess WWI books arent my thing. So i finaally got my hands on Catching Fire, the sequal to the Hunger Games, and oh my gosh i cant put it down. I thought there was no way it could be as good as the first one put look who supreised me. Its amazing because the story line has so many thiings going on at once and its unbelievable how many things are Wrong with the Capitiol. They hate Katniss because of what she did in the games, so they sent this new head peacekeeper and he is not the guy u want to be around. HE set up gallows and a wipping post to warn others, so i guess he is trying to make things as miserable as possible. That's all for now. Bubbi

Hola. I am reading a new book titled "Elephant Run." It is about a boy who lives in 1941 and he is always on the lookout for German bombers to attack hisi village. One day his appertment gets bombed and he has to move back with his dad in Kansas. It's titled "Elephant Run becasue his dad owns this elephant named Hannibal. I chose this book to read becasue on the title it has a boy looking at a building on an elephant and there are planaes flying above. This to me looked like it could have been about war, or a guy who meets an elephant and that really impacts his life. I have a feeling its going to be about both, who knows. Thats about all for now. Adios!

I finished The Compund! ill tell yah, i couldnt put it down. Eli was wandering around the compund and he found a connection to the internet. A few days later he went on agaain it sadi he had one I.M buddy on. yan twin 2 was the user name. He had found eddy. i was shaocked. i was shocked becaus ei honestly expected eddy to be dead and because in a sense i really couldnt belive what was going on. so he continued chatting with eddy and he got word that there really WASNT a nuclear strike on the u.s and that the whole world was safe. his grandma went on and sadi that there was a plane that just hit the camper that the family was staying on and that everyone was ok. Again, i was shocked. Eli rushed to his mom and told her. She was furious. Lexie(his older sister) who is a huge fan of her dad was saying that that wasnt true. Mr. Yanakakis walked in and Mrs. Yanakakis let him have it. He explained that he knew what it was like out there, but he built the compound the day that he realized that he was being a bad farther and was not spending time with his kids. I think this was a stupid idea. I think this because your rich, just take them on a vacation or take a week off. He also said that once they emerged everyone would want a compound just incase something bad would happen. So Eli puched him in the face. HIs dad had a poisoning from eating bad wheat and was ruched to the er of the compound. they nedded outside help in order to cure him. Elli had to figure out the code from only one clue, which was durducken. his dad got better aufuly quick and ripped up the code. Eli had a tough choice to make, let his litlle"Supplement" brother die, or give up the code and he made a smart move on that one. So he had to figure out the code and using a series of nuclear testings and birthdates, he figured it out. He escaped, but only for a while. Phil, his dad's assistant showed up on a helicopter and had a charge that would blow up the compound. HIs dad came put and had to help Eli save his family. He rushed back into the compound and grabbed his pregnant mom and his little brothers and sisters and ran. he ran and then boom. bam. ker pow. whatever word ud like to use, the compund blew up. Eddy came a day later and that led to a happy ending. Thats bout it! bubbi!

Greetings and Salutations! I am on my way in the Compound around page 120 and it's real interesting. It;s interesting in a way that makes u want to keep reading, even though not to much action is going on. So Eli was snooping around the Compound and just checking out all the rooms. He went into his dead twin brother's room, which he had never been in, and found a laptop. He carried itaround the Compound and while stopping outside of his dad's office, he turned on the laptop. something happened that had never happened in a long time, the internet was up. At first i thought that Eli was just seeing things and that it wasnt really happening. But then Eli staeted to talk to his father. His mom said that she believed that his dad was keeping things from her, and that he wasnt trustworthy anymore. Eli's dad came clean to him and said that he had found a connection sent out by one of the survivors and did not tell anyone, cause it would give them false hope. I think this was a good and bad decision. I think this because on the upside, he has a connection and giving a family false hope that their own child may even be out there could start a panic. But on the other hand, his dad should really tell his family everything. If u cant trust the poeple that ur living with for the next 9 years,, then y even live? Thats about all so see yah.

I finished Project 17 and Started this new boook called The Compound by S.A Bodeen. I started reading this because i heard it was good and it was recomended to me. It;s about what happens after a nuclear rain of bombs hits the U.S and kills everybody, except this rich family named the Yanakakis's. Eli Yanakakis(our main character) and his family run into this luxury bomb shelter called the compound, where they'll be living for the next 15 years. Eli had lost his twin brother Eddy in the bombing and has never been the same.. 6 years after, he still misses him more than anytghing. Thats about all that has happend so far. But, i cans till make predictions. I predict that Eli is going to want to escape the compound, even though its the only place that is safe and has life, so they think. I predict this beccause Eli has said that he needs a change of scenery and that he wonders if eddy is still alive. Thats means he'll being willing to risk anything to find him. Thats al;l for now, by. (Commented on Andrew's blog)

Imediately after i finished The Hunger Games, which by the way, you all should read, i started this book called Project 17. im already done! I couldnt put the thing down. ITs about this guy named Derrek (LA PLaya )LaPointe, a 17 year old who is a below average student and works at his family's diner. He wants to make a film and enter it in this contest, so that way he doesnt have to work at the diner for the rest of his life. I thinmk that this was a smart move becasue if he enede3d up working at the diner, it would basically say that he has no future, and thats what he and his parents expect him to do. Plus, the money in film making isnt bad either. So he gets this awesome cast of characters together. Mimi aka Halloween, is an goth freaky girl who actually plays a huge role in the story, Tony, a future director and ways less then me, Greta, a future actress, Liza, the super genious pretty girl, future Harvard graduate and doctor, and Chet, the goof ball. I think this is about as good of charaters in one book as u can get. U have goth girl, who knows weird yet important things, the overdramatic couple, who have a tenedency to make out, a funny guy,and the ladies man, . i think that just says perfect. So Derrek is going to make the movie, but heres the catch. Hes going to film it in an insane assylum. This is a really good spot, consisdering it is being torn down in a few days. So Mimi knows alot about this place, and they break in there with ease because of her instructions. Now, Derreck is planning to stay the whole night. So they set up the camera equiptment and start searching the place. They wander aroung shooting some good stuff when suddenly, the over dramatic couple are missing. Derrek and his little cast go running arounf like mad looking for them. Derreck opens this one door and theres this one doll hanging from a neuss! Its so freaky. It starts talking, it says as Derreck gtes near, "Baby Debbie likes to cry. Baby Debbie wants to die!" then the thing starts cracking up. Then after some unnecessary swearing Derrek gets the heck put of there. I thought this was really creepy because the author mixed something as innocent as a doll with something as serious and freaky as a neuss. Sorry if i spelled that wrong. Plus, the talking, werided me out. So they keep moving and filming. Oh yah, the doll really adds on to Liza saying, we dont belong here. SO they enter this art room, and there all these weird pics of these guys with no bodd parts hanging, and guys in barbed wire spider webs, and all that good stuff. Thats just plain disturbing, i mean, the art was for therapy. They found this journal that was about Cristine Belle, a former patient there... and how she liked the place, then hated it. Her only friend was this doll, not the one hanging though. She said she his it under this chair in the auditorium, number 17. They go in there, and there is no 17.the reason she wrote this beacause she was going to commit suicide after she hid the doll. They walk outside and realized that she must have jumoed off the roof. They come back inside and right infront of them is chair 17. They look under it and there is no doll. Then Mimi, who really wants to help Christine and let her rest in peace by finig Christy and giving her a home, breaks opent eh leg of the chir. Out pops a note. It says that christy is in her room in the ceiling. Mimi rushes up and finds the doll. After a few months, Derrek loses the contest, but they loved it so they showed it on the air. So the main part of the story was helping Christine. Thas About It. By

Well, it took a while but i finally finished The Hunger Games. Ill tell yah, that is one of the best books i have ever read. The characters are interesting and exciting in ways that make you laugh and say that was cool, and a few other things that i dont exactly have time to go in depth about right now. I also loved all the fight sequences and how the author explained how Katniss(the main character) had to struggle with survival and all that other great stuff. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WANT TO READ THIS BOOK. So Peeta and Katniss make it out at the end. IM sure most of you thought that that was so predictable and all that other bad stuff, but there was an ending twist. The twist was that as soon as the last tribute besides them died, they revoked the rule that if you were from the same district two tributes could win. So Peeta and Katniss were about to put these poison nightlock berries to their mouths and and die at the same time when the gamemakers said that two tributes could win again. I thouoght that this was a great way to end it because it was so unpredictable in a way that made me think like, oh no, this isnt going to happen. I also thought this because because ive never read a book that two caharacters cared for eachother so much that they were willing to die for one and other. Cant wait for the sequal. By

Second Post

Hey everybody! How you doin? Well i am about 15 pages away from finishing the Hunger Games and I cant believe how amazing this book is. Katniss, our hero, made an alliance with this little girl named Rue. This little girl may only be twelve but is amazingly fast and knows about as much about the woods and survival as those guys on the Dicovery Channel. The career tributes, aka the guys who have the total advantage in the games took all the food supplies on the begining. Well, Katniss and Rue really didnt think the careers had a chance if they didnt have all that food. So, Quite simply, they blew it up. There were mines sourrounding it so they trigged it using apples. But, this wasn't all as good as it seems. Rue got captured in a net of the careers and before Katniss could get an arrow through the killer, she died. I though that this was one of the saddest parts in a book that i have ever read. After crying for a while after the death of her companion, Katniss met up with the boy in her district, Peeta. Thety became a team but Peeta had saved her earlier and he had paid the price for it. HIs leg was cut up and they gave a real detailed description about it and it was pretty nasty. She had to go to the cournacopia were the Gamemakers, the peeps who controlled the game had all the suppliesd each trtibute needed. KAtniss got the supplies but not unmarked. She was cut in the head and this guy Named Thresh who was from Rue's district saved her and let her go. Well all these aother tributed died leaving only our heroes and Cato, the second highest ranked contender after Katniss. I think that Rue should have been higher ranked because she was so agile. They were driven toward the cornacopia and Cato cmomes crashing through the trees, followed by these creatures that were mutants from tyhe capitol. I thought that was an interesting fate for the tributes but i am not the author. So the tributes climb the cornacopia, but KAtniss notices that the beasts have a familiar feature. They are human. But not only human, they are the ded tributes that the capitol had made in order to kill them. I was shocked. I thought they sent the tributesd back to there district where they were properly burried. Thats just un- humane. Well Cato dies off an arrow to the head and the Gamemakers undo the rule that there can be two victors if they are frpom tyhe same district. A good rule, at least i thougght it was. So our heroes were going to kill eat these poison berries at the same time, but then ther gamemakers undid the rule so they won. It ain't over yet though, so i will talk about some other time. By

I am reading The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. So far, i love it ! So far, the main character, Katniss Everdeen, a pour girl living in the worst district out of 12 in the country of Panem, has been chosen in a raffle to be entered in The Hunger Games. These are where 2 tributes from each district are fighting to the death for extra food for their district. I think that that is a horrible way for people living in bad places to get extra stuff. I mean, the richest place in the country (The Capitol) reallycouldnt let the poor districts live. Katnis has entered the games due to the picking of her twelve year old sister Primrose. She volunteered for her so she could live. That was a smart move by her, or at least i think it is. It gives her family, her village, and for sure her sister a better chance at life. Katniss is pretty skilled with a bow and arrow, so she stands a good chance in the games. I think that so far, this is one of the best books i have ever read. It has a lot of action, it's a little sad, it's got a great plot, and it's even got a little love story (uh oh) in the mix. Well that's about it so far, so by.
