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!
