Blog #4
In the book, The Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell, there are many interesting ideas that the other used. When I heard that General Zaroff was hunting other kinds of animals that had their own thought, I was thinking of what kind of animal that is. I was thinking,"What kind of animal is there that can think on it's own?" Then when General Zaroff was telling Rainsford that he was hunting humans that came on this island by shipwreck, Rainsord and I were very surprised. Also when Rainsford said that he wanted to be off the island immediately, General Zaroff said that the only way for him to get off the island was to play the hunting game. If he won, he would get off the island. If he lost, Zaroff would kill him. I understood this, but when I read about him only getting a bag of food and a hunting nife, and General Zaroff getting a pistol and good quality food every day, I got kind of mad. Rainsford also had to sleep in the dirty and uncomfortable place, while Zaroff slept in a nice comfy bed.
After reading the first few pages of the book, I couldn't stop reading. There was all the ideas that I liked. Action, mystery, imagination, and many more. Throughout the book, I was thinking, "Is he going to die or live?" This book made me not want to put it down, and when the teacher said that we were going to read the rest the next day, I just read as fast as I could until the teacher came around to collect the packets. At the end I was happy that Rainsford won, but said that the story ended. The best parts of the book was when Rainsford used only the items he had to kill the dog, hurt Ivan, and partialy injured Zaroff's shoulder. This book was very interesting, and had many parts it to enjoy.

Walk Two Moons (Blog #1)
While reading the book, Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech, there were many differences between the Finney family and the Winterbottom family. The Winterbottom
family is more mannered and peaceful, but the family aren't in a that good relationship.
Mrs. Winterbottom tries to care for everyone, and want to obtain there love, but her
family members mostly ignore her. On the other side, the Finney family has hard times
adjusting to Mrs. Finney move out with a divorce, but are mostly happy. Gramps and
Grams are always trying to make everyone happy, and are always there for the family.
In my point of view, the Finney family are happier then the Winterbottom family. The
Finney family are never fighting, and act like a family. The Winterbottom family are
mostly always seperated, and seem to have problems.
The boys behavior of sucking the poison out of Grams leg surprises me, because
when Sal, Gramps, and Grams first met him, it looked like he was someone who was
going to hurt them, and was mean bye lying that it was private property. The reason why
it surprised me was because Tom Fleet looked like he wasn't nice to people, and didn't
care of other peoples mistakes. When Gramps was about to suck the blood and poison out,
he volunteered by himself saying that he would do the sucking of the poison. I also kind of
think that he likes Sal because he talked about how he liked her hair and he also gave her
his address. He also did not accept the money from Sal.
Sal's mother permanantly not returning home changed the additude of Sal while
her dad kind of stayed the same and changed. Since Sal did not feel the love, hugs, and
kisses from a mother, whenever someone touched her, she usually flinched. After Sal's
mother moved away, Sal's father still bought her presents, and stacked them in the bedroom.
He changed by when he was still expressing his love to her, as time passed on he kind of
started dating Mrs. Cadaver. Sal did not like this and did not want to see her, hear from
her or do anything with her ever. He didn't understand how her father was dating someone
like Mrs. Cadavar. It just didn't make sense to her.
