Week 3 Lit. Blog (1-25-11)

Tuesday:

I am currently reading Beastly. I love this book. He has already been turned into a beast and has given up all hope to trying to change. He has tried many things, but has not found his true love! :( he doesnt even live. All he does is go and look at the flowers all day. He is so much nicer and sweeter now that he is a beast. He went to a party and found a really nice girl on Holloween night, but ended up braking her arm. He never saw her again. :(

Monday: I have finished reading Where the Red Fern Grows and it was one of the sadest books I have read in a long time. I cried for the last 2 1/2 chapters... It was a sad book but it was pretty good. :) Billy was about o get attacked by a mountain lion, but even though his dogs were hurt very badly, they faught and they were able to hold the lion down while Billy drove his ax into its back. Old Dan would not let go of the lion. Old Dan soon died after Billy got him home. In the matter of a couple of days, Little Ann gave up her will to live and drug herself up to Old Dan's grave and died with her head on it. Billy saw that there was a red fern that grew when he went to say by to his dogs before heading out o town forever... :( sad story rite?!?! :)

I am still reading Where the Red Fern Grows and i really like it. I have like 1 more chapter left and the dogs treed a mountain lion and Old dan got really beat up and is torn apart and Little Ann isn't as bad, but it still pretty beat up. The dogs saved Billy's life and he is suprised by it. Old Dan wouldn't give up, even when the mountain lion was practicly dead. Billy had to slam his ax into it's back in order to save his dogs. Billy used a mixture of his dogs bloog and mud to try and hold the gashed closed.

Thursday:
I am still reading Where the Red Fern Grows and it is really good. I like it but it is very sad. I only have a few more chapters to go and Billy has won the competition. His grandfather sprained his foot really bad helping him find his dogs. They found them and they were smart to know that if they stopped trotting around the tree, they would have died. Billy was pleased with his dogs and Little Ann won the beauty contest.

Week 2 Reading Blog (1-18-11)

Tuesday:
I am reading Where the Red Fern Grows and it is a very well written book. I ahve finished the Athens book and it left me disapointed. It never told you the end, you had to figure it out for yourself. But I am enjoying Where the Red Fern Groes. So far, he got the dogs, trained them, went coon hunting several times and his dogs have gotten hurt many times but they always get better and are very smart dogs. Billy takes the bet and while doing that one of the brothers falls on the axe and dies. Billy feels very sorry but then gets over it once he says his good-byes at the grave... :(
