!What I thought of blogging!

I liked it because we got out of the classroom and got to use computers. I also needed practice typind and the blogging helped with that a lot too. I liked being able to tell people about the book I was reading and trying to get them to read them. I hope we can do something like this again.

Scribble of dreams book review!

I recomend the book Scribbler Of Dreams, it is a really great book that has a great lesson to it.

Kaytlyn Hampton has been raised to The Crutchfield family. Her family's hate goes back a hundred years and hasn't been resolved yet. Then one day Kaitlyn's father is charged with murder for the death of Robert Crutchfield. After that the private school she goes to can't afford to pay for her anymore. With no school and no father Kaitlyn and her sister have to attend Twin Oaks High School, on land that belongs to the Crutchfields. Kaitlyn meets a boy and later finds that he is one of the Crutchfields. Kaitlyn does whatever she can to keep her identity from the boy, Bram, and keep her relationship with Bram Crutchfield from her family. With all the lies she tells she has to find a way to tell the truth and for everyone to understand the reason why she lied in the first place.

I would mostly recomend this book for anyone. It has a good plot and can teach you a lesson that can be very importnat to you in the future. I also love the book because in some ways I can relate to Kaitlyn. I also don't like the book because The story is a little to perfectly played out for me. I have a hard time realating and believing anything like this could happen. I really liked this book though. I recomend it to anyone. It is an easy read and a grest story.

Scribbler of dreams [quotes]

Scribbler of dreams by Mary E. Pearson.
Page 17:
"why did my father have to kill a Crutchfield? It was an accident of course. But who would believe it? The hatred between the Crutchfield and the Malones goes back five generations when the Crutchfiels sisters first parted ways."

Thoughts: This was the first explanation as to why the Malones hated the Crutchfields. Now that I'm more than halfway through the book it feels so unimportant.

Page 38: "'B.C.?' I asked.
He smiled. "Yeah. Bram- Bram Crutchfield.

Thoughts: I've known for a while that Bram was a crutchfield and that Kaitlynn was a Malone. When Kaitlynn finds out she does whatever she can to keep it secret because she used to hate the Crutchfields but she doesn't anymore and Bram still hates the Malones. I think that when Kaitlynn finally tells him the truth it will make her a stronger person even if he doesn't accept her that way.

Page 119:
"Just like before? Things would never be like before. Not for me. Not for any of us. And not ever, ever again would things be the same for the Crutchfields. Robert Crutchfield would never be returning home."

Description: Kaitlynn Malone's father just came home from prison for involuntary manslaughter. Her father had told her that now he was back everything was going to be the way it had been before he had murdered Robert Crutchfield.

Thoughts: This paragraph means a lot to me because I can relate to Kaitlynn. I sometimes have problems or issues within my family. Kaitlynn's problems may not be the same as mine but I can still relate.

Sorcress, what would I change?

There are a lot of things I would change in this book, but there is one main thing I would change. I would change the way that Mary's personality changes. I understand that when people get older they change a lot, but the way Mary changes makes it seem like she is loosing personality, she sounds boring and bleak. I lose interest in the story quickly. I think Mary's personality is guessed, not known, like it was in the first book (it was her journal). I think that with a new name, a new family, new surroundings, new point of views Mary loses her own opinions and feels like she needs to have the same thoughts as people around her. I know Mary is a strong and respectable person in her tribe, but she seems like she has little personality. I liked her in the first book because she wasn't as quick to judge, she was nicer and didn't participate in gossip around the settlement. Mary had plenty of personality as a child but lost is as she got older.

Sorcress (witch child II)

Sorceress is the second book to Witch Child.

Mary/ Eyes of wolf being accepted in the tribe reminds me a lot of me being accepted In Philipsburgh. Mary had to flee her town because she was suspected as a witch. She married a Native American and was accepted in the tribe. I am accepted in Philipsburgh even though I live in a larger town/city(I don't really know what to consider Columbia) with different customs. I am a lot different but they treat me no different. This connection helps me understand Mary's/eyes of wolf's position.
