Late Assignment for 4/24

Because I haven't finished reading my current book Summer of my German Solider. So I really can't explain much about since I'm only on chapter 3 or 4. But I have read other books. But I'm too lazy to memorize those and start up an explanation. So I'll just start with...

This book made me ponder about what might happen next. The main character is... I don't know. I forgot her name. But she is a Jew in the 1940's obviously. But her location is in... I don't remember either. All I know is she near Tennessee and the Mississippi river. She comes from a wealthy family and leads a normal life. Not to mention she plain for a girl. Her mother expects so Check Spellingmuch from her but sadly she can't meet her mother's expectations. Shes a bit of a tomboy, and even her father ignores her. Thats normal. Pretty much. But who am I to judge? I don't know! It's until she is watching her father's shop from a far. One day the German Prisoner of War trucks arrive at the shop for a puchase of hats and such. The only english-speaking German prisioner catches the main character's eye. Oh, now I remember the name of the main character is Patty. So Patty tries to strike a conversation with Reiker the German soldier. I stopped reading there since I ran out of time. But I'll continue reading the rest of the book to the best of my ability. I know I can finish reading it this weekend if I really try. But I doubt it. I have a lot to do this weekend. I don't mind, but I have my reading journal due next week. And I have no freakin' idea for connection or a "hook". I'm like freaking out here dude! I wish I can do the journal on The Host or The Demonata: Bec. But I can't find the books anywhere! Still freaking out... I don't know what to do. At least I caught up with my 90 vocabulary cards. Thank God. Well that the end of my post. I'll see you guyz around. Laters!

Maritius Joy Ride

I went on a facinating little play called "Maritius" this past wednesday. A lovely, devastating tragic, tale of the 1 penny and 2 penny stamp post office. The two sisters in posession of the stamps are costantly fighting over who keeps the stamps. It is revealed the stamps are a fake at some point but it still unknown if the stamps are a fake or not.
I think that the theme of the play is, "Don't go around selling valuables to the wrong people." Supporting this, is Jacky selling both the 1 penny and 2 penny to some shady business man who is recommended by some other guy, who Jacky recently met as well. Both men which are Sterling and Denis, they are alien to Jacky and yet tries to strike an offer with her.
I cab relate more to Jacky because she is greedy and only thinks of herself, rather than her sister and the value of the stamps. Well obviously Mary was the right one. Her motives are wiser than Jacky's. Her motives have included donating her grandfather's stamps to a museum. She would be benefiting the world rather than herself. I have the same conflicts with my brothers as well. But not anything as big as this. Nothing as vital as this. Hmm... And my family is of my full blood. Not half.

Music=Life<3


The assignment for today is a personal connection to the Alchemist. A lovely little story really. You must read it if you want a bit of wisdom. Not all that long either. Basically, the main character finds his Personal Legend and the love of his life. I'm like Santiago just cause he wants to find his Personal Legend and love. I'm in the search for the same thing, just at a different time period. Where it's most hard to read the omens. I'm different from cause I'm not a straight out pussy at first. He get tricked and robbed and that would most likely not happen to me. Because I would'nt let it happen to me. I'm not as unfortuanate as he is. Sometimes I think that Santiago is a bit of an idiot at some times. He just cant seem to make the right choices on his own. He might have to depend on the omens having to force him to think straight. I would make waaay different decisions because I would'nt take as much risky decisions that make him look bad if he fails. I want to look good and seem superior to everyone else. Smarter that evryone else. My decision would benefit mostly those whom I love the most.

Assignment for 3/26/09


This reflects to The Alchemist book, because this a alchemy ritual symbol. This is the sort of the stuff you'd most likely find in the Englishman's alchemy books. This alchemy ritual symbol is used to summon homunculus and such. A homunculus is an artifcial human being created by alchemy. But of courese there isn't any homunculi in the The Alchemist, silly. FullMetal Alchemist is a cruel and tragic story. Full of violence, gore, death, and knowing that the truth really hurts. If only Ed and Al didn't have to be the ones taht unlocks the truth and almost gets their butts killed over and over. Not to mention the seven deady homunculi in this story want them dead at all costs. Ed and Al's father is the master of the homunculi which makes everything worse. So The Alchemikst and FullMetal Alchemist have very few connections but the few connections that it has are important, such as the use of alchemy. The forbidden law of turning lead into gold. And the most important of all... the law of equivalent exchange.

Speak of the devil & the devil shall appear...

Another assignment cuz Ms. Crabtree told me so... X_X


This time I gotta write about my independent reading book and it's awesome contents.

Alright. Here's the deal. I'm reading The Demonata: Demon Theif. And so I have a connection this book, cuz Kernel the main character, is fighting daily for his life against demons. Not to mention he has to rescue his baby brother. My connection is I fight "demons" daily in my life too. My "demons" include, a posuer white/wannabe azn, a poseur wannabe player/rocker, an over weight german chick, and the pplz in my classes. lol So true, so true. Omg. Whats also important, is...WHY ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS SUFFERING??? I swear, god, let them have their moments! Leave 'em alone! *sniff sniff* T_T
I think that the type of pplz who should really read these type of stories are normal people who like horror/macabre series. I don't think someone who is all up into romance should read this. Hell no. You could say I'm like Dervish Grady. He is a punker, he's so random and creepy. He also is one of the Demon hunters that fight the Demonata. I <3>

End Post.

Reading... XP

Reading "The Demonata: Demon Theif". Book 2 of The Demonata series. I didn't really get to read the first one. I read about half, got bored and returned it to the school library. Oh well...uh.
But I really like Demon Theif so far. It's fun and I enjoy waiting in wonder what might happen next. XD
So. Kernel, the main character, like others, is a leper, an outcast among many. People think he is a crazy guy. He talks about seeing lights. Random lights in every shape possible. Just randomly floating about. No one else can see these lights. Just him. One day while he is in his room alone, he is messing around with the lights. Solving them like a puzzle. Outta nowhere, the lights begin to pulse and open a doorway to a new world. Suddenly, a demon just walks out of the portal, breaking everything in Kernel's room. then just disappears back into the random doorway to Hell.

so yeah....&&....idk ;D

Dear Darren Shan,

Dude... You write the most awesome badass stories I've ever read. Better than kiss up "Twilight." I know you already have released like 8 volumes of The Demonata, but I promise you that I will catch up to you evetually. Oh, and I'll buy your hardcover books too. The action in this series always keeps me on my toes. I always ponder into the wee hours of the night what event is next. X) So awesome =D Um. Er. HEART<3 But what i'm wondering is why you write the series, every book is a different story of a different person. Interesting...Please let Kernel find his younger brother. It's his only family and Kernel is a lonely person. *sniff, sniff* Poor Kernel, being forced to go into an unknown world to find his baby brother, who could be dead already. T_T *tear, tear*

xoxo a loyal fan, Lily <3

p.s. HEART! <3
