Goodbye

Since my blog project will soon be over, I will no longer be posting on my blog anymore. Goodbye!

The Three Favorite Things About My Book

In my book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, one of my three favorite things about my book is the style of writing.  It was easy to understand.  Also, I liked how the author gave enough information to give a full understanding of what was happening, but not too much that it bored me.
My second favorite thing about my book is the information given about the characters.  In my book, I really liked how the author gave plenty of information about the characters.  This made the book very interesting. It also helped me think of how I would react to the situations in the book if I were one of the characters.
My final favorite thing about my book is the ending.  (Don't worry, It's not like I hated the book so much that I wanted it to be over.)  Though I don't want to spoil the book, I liked the ending very much.    

New Book

I have finished The Scarlet Pimpernel and I am now starting Animal Farm. I heard that is is a very good book, and it is about communist animals.

Quote Number Two

      “Good literature substitutes for experience which we have not ourselves lived
through.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
      In this quote I think the speaker means that good literature makes you feel like you are experiencing what is in the book. By saying that it substitutes for experiences, good literature has to be very immersing. This applies to books that take you to time periods that you will never live in and places you will never visit.
      This quote applies to the book I am reading, The Scarlet Pimpernel, because I have never been to the place in the book and I will never live in the time period in the book. My book takes place in France, where I have never been to, and in the 1790s, which is a time period I will never live in. Also, my book is "good literature" because it is very immersing and well written.

Theme Songs

For the sound track for Lord of the Flies, the first song is "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay because during the beginning of the book, Ralph "used to rule the world" as the leader of the island, until Jack split off and everyone became savages.
The second song is "The Floor is on Fire" by Pitbull Ft. Machel Montano & Lil Jon. This is related to the book because Jack "misbehaves" by lighting the island on fire to make Ralph give up his hiding spot.
The third song is "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd. It has to do with the book because all the lyrics in the song are "one of these days I'm gonna chop you up in to little pieces", and Roger "chopped" Piggy "up into little pieces" by throwing a rock at him.
Finally, the last song is "Fanfare From Also sprach Zarathustra" by R. Strauss, which relates to the end of the book, which I wound say so I don't give away the plot.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

So far in The Scarlet Pimpernel, many aristocrats are being executed in France.  A man named Bibot is trying to keep them in France but a man under the secret identity of "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is trying to help them escape.  I am king of having a hard reading this book because it has a lot of dialog, probably because it was originally written as a play.  Aside from that, the book is quite good and is very exciting.

New Book

Well, I finished Lord of the Flies and it was very good, but kind of weird.  Basically, the kids divide themselves, abandon all forms of organization and become savages.  I won't give away any more of the plot, but I can tell you it really ends up being nothing like "Flight 29 Down", the show I mentioned earlier.  Now, I'm starting The Scarlet Pimpernel, which is about the French revolution.
