My Last & Final Post

My favourite book i read this year was the first book i read. It was called A Walk To Remember. I think things in life don't come easy, you have to work for them and in this book it showed that. Not even bad boy is going to fall in love with a church girl then later on finds out that she has a type of cancer called leukemia. This book inspired me to do an I-Search paper on Leukemia. Reading about it was so devistating that i wanted to keep learning and expand my on what i already knew on the subject. Researching this topic made me think about the people who actually have the cancer. I wonder what their last looks on life are? or what do they want to do before they pass on? this is a very serreal thing to talk about. Learning everything i did in english made me look at it differently. Its not all about grammar and spelling. Its also about expressing your feelings through words. This was defenitly a good learning experience. I hope that next year it will be even better.!

Things I Have Learnt

It has been a very long time since i posted something on my blog. I read a little bit but not very much this passed month has been stressful for me. I found this book that i actually really enjoyed reading but i ust couldn't find the time to read beacuse of other work i have been trying to catch up on. The last little bit that i read was up to chapter eight. At times i would get lost in the book probably beacuase i havn't been reading much. I think i relate somewhat to this book because the girl that this novel is about is very close with her mom but yet doesn't see your grandma very much and its the same way with me. Something that i needed to work on in english is reading and updating my blogs on time. I think i can do this by being more focused. Sorry i haven't been very good with updating my blog. But now i have realized how it can affect my mark. Reading is something that can help you relax i learnt and if you set your mind to it you could become a very good reader. This summer i want to start reading so then when it comes to english next year i will be a faster reading and a more creative writer. I hope you have a great summer Mrs. Kulyk cause i know i will :)

A New Book That I Actually Like!!!

We got some new books in last week to read and I gave up on tears at Bedtime! It just wasn’t for me. Our teacher got other books too that some of my classmates as well as me may enjoy. I found a book called A Certain Strain of Peculiar. This book is about a teenage girl who always has panic attacks, and always gets teased at school. She gets called “the grossest girl”. This thirteen year old girl wants to move back to a small town in Alabama called Wren where she has her best friend and grandmother to comfort her and listen to her problems. I am just in the beginning of the book and I love it!! I have had a few questions so far such as why doesn’t her mom want to move back to Wren? Or if Mary ever gets to see her father? Some things that I have in common with this girl are she and her mom are very close and she has only one fear in life and that’s of dying. I am the same way my mom is my best friend, and I love living life to the fullest. I can’t wait to start reading more so I can expand on my knowledge.

Busy!!

I took a break from reading Tears at Bedtime and decided to read a fast read called Life on the Refrigerator Door. This book is very touching and relates to a lot of real life situations that people are dealing with right as we speak. At the end of this fast read i wanted to start crying this is definetly one of my favourite reads of all time and recommend it highly!! ten out of ten for sure.

It was last week that our hockey team was in the last round of provincials and our basketball team got into regionals!! It was a very exciting week for me so I didn’t focus on trying to read. Now that the week has settled down and it’s a long weekend I can curl up on the couch with some green tea and read my book, even if I don’t get into this book I am going to try and read as much as I can maybe it will get better. I will have my next blog ready for you on Monday to let you know how the weekend of reading went.

My second book.

I just started reading the book Tears at Bedtime. I have only got into 4 chapters and I don’t think it was what I expected. It’s not really getting my attention. Right now the boy in the story is grown up and he’s talking about his family and as he grew up they never really were there for him. All the information I have is that his father is a drunk. I wonder if his dad even sees how it affects the boy and I wonder if he’s ever going to quit drinking. For his mother she sleeps around a lot! This makes me think that the boy might have gotten teased at school when he was younger. I will continue to read this book and try to understand all of my questions. Toodles.

Reading,reading,reading

It hadn’t even been five days and this book was begging me to keep reading. I finished this book within a week. As I started reading this book I kept thinking to myself if it was going to be as good as the movie but kept telling myself don’t worry about the movie just keep reading!! I didn’t really know what to expect from the characters. From the very beginning I didn’t understand why Landon had to be rude, and Jamie was such a down to earth girl but as it went on they became more close to each other and became better human beings.

When I was reading A Walk To Remember I kept going back to real life and wondering how can some people judge other people without knowing anything about them? Why do people make others lives so miserable just so then they are happy? As I got to about the end of the novel that’s when I didn’t want to put my book down! When I finally finished this paperback I came to the conclusion and realized you don’t get how much you love and care about something or someone until it’s actually gone!

Finding my first book

The book that I am currently reading is A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I began reading this book on February 8th 2010. I had many books to choose from but I chose this book because I have seen the movie. People have always said that the books are way better than the movie, I thought the movie was outstanding so I decided reading the book we be a great idea.

I am only on page 18 so I haven’t gotten into a lot of detail yet. I think as I get reading this book more I won’t want to put it down. Reading the back of this novel made pictures in my mind making me want to dive right into the book as I was in the library. As start to unravel more of A Walk To Remember I will continue to fill in about my reads.
