The plage >.<

So now i'm reading The Plage by Albert Camus. I like this book because it is kind of hard. When I showed it to Ms.faughey, she said it was really hard, so I was kinda scared. But since I had already read a lot of other books I thought, "Why not challenge myself now?" So yeah. I kept reading it. It is a challenge because it is told from the pont of wiew of someone watching the narrator, or maybe the narrator is talking about himself as if he were somebody else. Also, sometimes it goes to the point of view of the doctor that is curing the plage. Other than that I really like the story line. It makes me think of when the bubonic plage hit Europe. This book is taking me longer than usual, so I think I might blog about it more than I did for other books. I hope to finish soon and find out what happens to the plage and how many people die.

Booooring!!! xP

I started to read Gulliver's Travels a while ago. IT SUCKS!!! You probably know how much i like to read because i read so much. But this book was just unreadable. The letters were really small, and the book was really really fat. Well not that fat, but yeah. I don't like it. I think it's because i already know the main idea of the story. I get tired of SO MANY details. I tried to keep reading it, but i just give up. It's been enough to know for sure how much i don't like it. Well, i seriously wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. Tomorrow, i will probably try to go to the library to get a new one, but since it's the day of the talent show i might not go.

Flowers for Algernon

This book is awesome!!!!!!!! It's about a mentally retarded guy, who is used in an experiment to see if a certain operation can help mentally retarded people with their problems. During the experiment he is asked to write progress reports. That's what the book is, all of his progress reports put together. At the beginning all of his progress reports have tons of spelling and grammar mistakes. As you read you feel like if you were reading a little boy's mind. It all seems so simple, so good and nice. But as his smartness grows, this changes. He no longer has spelling mistakes or anything. He actually starts using very sophisticated words. After all, the experiment seemed to be working very good. He acquired the knowledge many would have acquired in a lifetime in just three months. He actually took over the experiments by observing Algernon. A mouse who had also had the operation. He realized that even though his intellectual side had grown extremely rapid, his personal side hadn't. He still thought like a baby. After a while he noticed that Algernon was having anger attacks and he wouldn't solve the maze puzzles anymore. He would just throw himself against the walls and cuddle up in tight ball all the time. He was slowly going back to being retarded, and one day he just died. Charlie immediately realized that this was to be his fate too. He would go back to being retarded, and then die. So, he did all he could to keep writing his progress reports, until he couldn't do it anymore. After his super increase in IQ, he went back to being retarded. He felt bad for himself at first. But then he lost his memory and was put into a place where they take care of retarded people. Charlie died, but at least at one point in his life he knew that he did something good for science and for human beings.

Love and Sex (Newspaper Story)

Breaking News!!!

Do you remember about eight years ago, when a young girl about 10 years old, was strucked by lightning? They said it was an accidental death, but now after a long time, a witness, finally has the guts to speak up, and say what really happened. He supposedly wants to talk about it now, because the same thing almost happens to his girlfriend. He says that a guy in a motorcycle came and took the girl. She was happy and in a way kind of hypnotized. The next morning she was found dead in the mountains. Now, eight years later, his girlfriend was the one hypnotized. When he saw them go away in the motorcycle, he followed them and got there just in time to save her from getting struck by a lightning ray that the guy in a motorcycle had supposedly summoned. At first nobody believed him, but when his girlfriend spoke and showed us her bald head, we knew it was true. You might wonder what the hair has to do with it, but it actually has to do a lot.She was so close to being struck by lighting that her hair burned off. She was lucky to have a brave boyfriend who loved her enough to risk his life and save her, unlike the little girl eight years ago.

Love and Sex (Symbols)

OK, don't judge a book by it's cover, or title. No, this book is not perverted, actually it gives a lot of lessons on life and gives you an example on how you should handle things, especially girls. In one of these short stories, a girl gets pregnant from a guy she's been dating for a year. But the thing is, she doesn't even love him. He's just too perfect. So when she finally decides to break up with him, she finds out she's pregnant. At this moment she is shocked and doesn't know what to do. So after talking to her aunt, she decides to have an abortion. This is the symbol in my story. Abortion. It is a word that many dislike, or maybe even hate. Some might don't know what to think of it, it seems like such a good way to get rid of something that you wish had never happened, but, it is also killing. It is the symbol in my story because it represents that shock that a person has to get in life in order to mature. It is that thing that makes you want to change and that sets you straight in life. I believe that every single adult in this world has had to go through something that changed them forever. For many women, this shock might have been abortion. After Cassandra, the girl in my story, had an abortion, her life changed a lot and her personality too. She might feel regret for aborting and not even telling her ex-boyfriend about it, but what does he know about abortion? He's never going to have to go through it and he's not the one who would have had to not go to college and stay with the baby. Maybe, this was the right thing to do.

The Road of the Dead II

I like this picture because it shows the road that Cole and Ruben were walking. The sun represents their goal which was to find out the truth. The ice represents their problems and all of the times they fell to finally get what they wanted.

The Road of the Dead

This my continuation of the book. I'm telling it from Ruben's point of view

Chapter 21
After a long ride we finally made it to plymouth. It was early in the morning and we were all tired and stinky. But we were happy and satisfied to know that red and his crew had paid for all they had done. We also had John Selden's body and now everyhing could be solved.
"I thought I told you guys to go home a long time ago." Pomeroy said looking at us in a nasty and annoyed way.
"Yeah, but i guess we did your job for you" cole sounded happy yet serious, pomeroy was confused.
"What are you talking about"
"We know who killed rachel, he's dead, and we've got his body"
"Did you kill him?"
"No, you probably didn't know but some skanks from that town had things going on"
"yeah what kind of things?" pomeroy rudely interrupted
"Look, if you want to know you can just go to the town yourself and investigate, and that's something you should've done a while ago. I just want you to do a study on selden's body, prove he killed rachel and give us back her body"
"well, well, well, you surprise me, give me the body and if he's the one, you'll have her body monday morning."

~ Monday Morning~

On moday morning we got rachel's body. Cole and I were back in London with mom, and everything was OK. Mom was grateful to have us back, and after the long journey through the road of the dead, we got over rachel's death. We didn't really get over it, but we were ok with it and we just accepted the fact that she was gone. It was a long road, but it was all worth it.
