Entry 7... Hee! Hee! Hee!

Currently, I am rereading one of my favorite books, " Ronia, The Robber's Daughter" which has really inspired me at an early age as a reader and hopefully a writer. This book has no medal or award to prove it's accomplishments, but this is truly a unique book. Ronia is born into the merry life of her father's robber clan. But when this wild adventurous girl finally finds someone to play with, it's Matt's archenemies son, Birk. Ronia reminds me of myself in ways I don't really understand. We are both careless at times, (and people tell me I will be the death of myself!) both can't stop moving, and we have to know just about everything. She is also around my age. If I could adapt one of the character's traits it would be Birk's wisdom. He is still young and carefree, but he knows exactly what to do in a dire situation and how to deal with it. My favorite line in the book is, " These warm summer evenings are lovely for riding,"said Ronia. And she thought, Why can't it always be summer in the forest?" I like this line because Ronia is thinking deeply of her life and this shows that all children think deep whether parents like it or not. The ending was very interesting with obvious things and surprising information. It's a lovely book! READ IT!

Entry 6, HOLES!

Currently, I am reading Holes by Lois Sachar, who is one of my favorite authors. Stanley Yelnats is basically the total opposite of me, even gender. He sort of reminds me of a friend I have had for a very long time who is just random and plain on the outside. He discovered hidden talents within himself just like Stanley did at Camp Green Lake digging holes. I hope my friend is successful in life because right now, he is not being treated with the respect he should have due to the fact he has family issues and is a little poor. He's a very nice dude. I hope some day I can be as strong minded as Zero is who is Stanley's friend at the camp. Zero actually is very smart, but everybody thinks he's dumb until they test him to make fun of him. Some books like these are made for young children so it wasn't that hard to predict the come out. The book ended like all books should, a happy scene with rejoicing and love and all of that stuff. It's a great book though, so it got a medal.
