Final blog post



This picture shows my attitude toward reading because when I first started reading I liked all kids of book from non-fiction to fiction to mysteries to adventure represented by the large mouth of the cave. but then through the years the kind of books i read got smaller and smaller and i would stick to more war history books like unbroken and fantasy action type books. this is represented by how the path father into the cave gets smaller and smaller. At one point at in the past year i came to a point when i stopped reading because i got really bored of it which kind of made it hard to blog. this is represented by the end of the cave. I have gotten back to reading with the gone series by Michael Grant which my past few blogs have been about. so i accepted teh types of books i read to keep changing and the amount I read will also change.





This picture symbolizes my point of view on blogging because i would always forget about it and do it Monday. I would do the prompt of the best part of blogging and the worst part but the list of the positive is about as long as our country's budget and the negative is about as much debt we have. also i really like this picture because of the grim reapers shadow behind the door because I thought this was going to kill my grade but I don't think that it will.
\Some good thing about blogging is that there is no guide line to it. when I sit down to blog I don't need to look at a format and need to stress about if its right. I can just sit down and write. That's it.
 Some things that I did not like blogging would take a while to write about so I am just write about a few. First off i think that its pointless and that its just another grade in the grade book. I also forgot about it for the last minute so i would stress about it, also when I would sit down I hadn't read enough to make a blog so it was hard to make a blog post.
                                                                                                                           
This picture represents my first year as a high school because sometimes i felt that i was left in the dark. Sometimes I wondered why i did something like why the polar bear got on the piece of ice. As a sophomore next year some goals I have for my self are to get my temps and licences, be a starter on our mason hockey varsity team, gets straight A's and finally i would like to take apart and put back together a classic car.
 I have grown a lot in the past year in many ways. first off i made our varsity hockey team which was a big step up from my travel team which I also played on this team. On my travel team this year i got assistant captain and was one of the leading scorers and in assists. My writing has also grown a lot from adding in diction and syntax. I have grown a lot of other places but that would take a long time to write about. thanks for a great year. Have a good summer.

Hunger half way point

   Hunger is second book in the Gone series by Michael Grant. If you have read my last posts you would know that I like Michael Grants books and especially the first book in the series Gone. this book is a little different.  

   I would like to start to say what I like so far about the book halfway though the book. One thing that I like is the diction and syntax that he uses. Through all the books that I have read by Grant they all are very different but in each I can see is diction and syntax they he does that makes all his books really good. I also like the way he tells the story. Each chapter has a point of view of a couple of characters which I think is very cool.

   The thing about this book that I cant stand is the rate of which it is told. It is really slow. i took me a while to get to the half way point because i just had no interest in reading it which is a big probably for me because the only way i can sit down and read is only if I have a book that get really interesting really fast which this book does not do

  So for this book it has its up and down to its writing style but it has a really good story line so you have to decide it the good out balances the bad and if you have any interest in reading it.
