Reading

Reading so far this semester has been really googd because I have been reading constantly, the most that I can. I think reading is really cool because sometimes the stories I read are really interesting and exciting. Especially series or adventures. I also think my reading as gotten a little better this semester since I have been reading. Wha I want ot improve is reading a little bit more than I usually do

The Mediator: Shadowland by Meg Cabot

This book made me smile because I think it's somtimes funny and a little bit romantic. Suze is the main character and she just moved from New York to Northen California and she though she was going to be a loser like she was in New York. But she instantly becomes popular, which is really ironic. She is what people call mediator, which is someone who can see ghosts. This is the why people though she was a freak and didn't talk to her. But now she is really popular and the sophmore vice president. This book also made me laugh because her three stepbrothers are funny. They protect her and at the same time annoy her. It also makes me smile because there is a ghost, his name is Jesse, who she is starting to fall for even thogh he died 150 years ago.

The best part of the book was when she went to the exorcism on the ghost of the girl who lived at the school and the roof fell on her when she had finished and her brothers came to save her because Jesse had told her brothers that she had gone to the school. And her oldest stepbrother thinks she is in some type of gang because she always gets into trouble but it is really because the ghosts that follow her get her into alot of trouble. Now her youngest stepbrother kind of suspects that she can see ghosts. And the worst part of the book was when the ghost tried to kill the principal and almost killed him but he didn't die.

O Brother, Where Are Thou? - The Alchemist

The similarities betweeen The Alchemist and O brother where are thou are that they are all looking for a treasure. They also meet alot people along the way to their treasure. Although Everett had two other people helping him and Santiago was alone but there was people helping him along the way. They also had alot of obstacles but they overpassed them and went on. They also learned alot of things during the quest for they'retreaure and the wisdon they learned ids more valuable thn the treasure they found. They also returned to the woman they loved. But Everett and his friends never find a treasure, the treasure they got was freedom and happiness., And Santiaogo actually find a treasure in Spain and also found love.

Conncetions to the Alchemist

A connection that I have with The Alchemist is that I think about my dream all the time. We also have people telling us to follow our dreams and telling us nothing's impossible. How me and Santiago are different is that he knows what he's looking for and were exactly that place is ,he also has alot of people telling him to persue his dream l;ike the king, the candy seller, and Fatima and the alcemist is going to lead him to the pyramids and I don't exactly have a guider telling me which route to go. I agree with all the decisions that he has made like telling the chieftants about the mirage that he had but maybe I wouldn't told them about that illusion because I would thought it was just an illusion. I agree with him for also having following the Aquemist. What I probably wouldn't had done is to give the money to that guy, but I guess that was an omen, and it was ment for him to meet the Englishman.
