Honors Essay #2
We were asked, yet again how do the books we’ve been reading relate to that of our U.S. History and English classes. The three books we’ve read are Shane, The Call of the Wild, and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.
The first being Shane, is related to homesteading, at least that’s all we’ve honestly learned in History that I know of that in any way relates to that book. The Homestead Act is and I quote from our History books “Law that granted free public land to farmers who agree to cultivate the land for a given period of time.” But to be entirely honest I don’t remember much of that book, and the things I do remember seem to be more towards ranching than farming. Though I’m still pretty sure it does have a lot to with the Homestead Act.
The second book Call of the Wild, though it is mainly from the dog’s perspective and barely mentions it, the book mentions at the beginning of The Gold Rush and How it seemed to be becoming a huge craze, that was actually how Buck got “deported”. However based on the harsh winter climates throughout the book it seemed like they were already later in the scene than Sutter’s Fort, located near southern California I think. Buck was mainly taken up North such as Canada and Alaska, I think, I might not be altogether too accurate. I think that symbolizes that the gold deposits in California and the surrounding were already near depleted and so the men were already heading up north. Besides the Gold Rush I think The Call of the Wild also mention the disagreements by telling how John Thornton was killed by the “Yeehats” ( I think that’s how you spell it) that pretty much symbolized the aggression between the white man and the Native American, how they were still and probably always will be hostile, and how they were still having skirmishes and fights along the borders of the lands. And…. I think that was it for The Call of the Wild.
The last book was The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. That was extremely obvious when it came to the relations between the book and the class. The Civil War. The very beginning of the book begins with the end of the Civil War working along with the life Jane Pittman, demonstrating how the life of the “Negroes” had progressed when it came to life and their own freedom and what they did as free people, as well as the thing that “just can’t be”. Such as when Tee Bob fell in love with a woman who was part African American, how their marriage “could never be” and how segregation started in the minds of people before it did in law and custom. How the people, through years of slavery had already built the “solid” notion that the black people were somehow inferior to that of the white man, so they didn’t recover from that idea until years later. Not only did the book mention segregation it also told of many examples of how the white men often thought them better than that of a colored one, but mainly focused on how they were doing their absolute best to keep the “Negroes” “in their place” by mercilessly slaughtering as many as they could get away with. One huge similarity to what we learned in class and what was in the book was how though the people were indeed freed the elder of the colored people chose to stay and work on the plantations where they stayed for so long, considering they did not know how to do anything else, but the younger generation being more reckless, left home to go North and not a lot of them made it. Though I did not read of anything to do with the Underground Railroad and I really would’ve expected it by then. Didn’t the Underground Railroad already start when slavery existed? So it really should be in that book, considering how it was in it’s own way preaching about antislavery. I’m not sure on whether or not I had just simply missed anything that mentioned the Underground Railroad or if it really wasn’t mentioned. But the lack of reading about it took me by surprise. I believe that rather covers The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.
I don’t exactly recall anything else that the books could have possibly related to when it came to U.S. History class. But I believe that is all. Thank you!

ok so this is the last blog! yayerzz! next about the whole Jimmy arc. how did everyone think that he would be the "chosen one" he didn't even reach enlightenment! plus in the hayloft by age twelve, ok so he was really nice compared to everyone else when it came to treating the older people right but what else? He has no dad, and was raised by Lena, ok....... then what? he was even kicked out of his own church. and I know he was killed but what about the dude with the long head? i don't remember his name but i know he was in on the whole anti-slavery thing. did he die? because you knowhe be shunned if he didn't the fact that Jimmy was killed would probably make it look like that. how was Jimmy killed? by a bullet? i think so....... i so hated the ending though. ick. it was aweful! i really wanna know what happens now. well not so much as in D.N. angel or furuba buruma, but still, enough.

whooooohooooooooo!

2005-06-08T12:21:00.000-07:00

yayyyyyyyy! ;only two more blogs on the autobiography of miss jane pittman! and to those who say that we barely have anymore things to do at the end of the year you are sooooo wrong! there's so many tests! ok bakck to the miss jane pittman thing. The part when she was trying to reach enlightenment, you'd honestly think that tthe whole devils and demons you'd think they'd be smart enough to do their research but no! they ssucked so badly when they were asked the things about the forms they took, i would thi nk they would at least know what ned carried after his mum died. the rocks, when did he actually stoop carrying those? and i'm kinda glad that albert cluveau died, at least he can't kill anybody else. i would have thought hat he was as mathini said " a bit off in the head" make that entirely crazy! no duh! piythium! lololololololololol. ( inside joke) hahahahahah bite him! and then jimmy came. the hayl9oft at the age of twelve. now that's icky! no really.

meanie

2005-05-04T12:21:00.000-07:00

i started reading the last book the autobiography of miss jane pittma. i have never heard of the name ticey. but still, how is it a slave name? yeah, ok so there's no last name but how is it a slave name? and they keep on saying Luzana,is that Louisiana? i don't think it is, cuz they said about going south to mississppi at least that hunter dude. and i'm pretty sure that louisiana is is slightly northwest of Mississippi. and how could people be so mean!?!?!?!?!?!?! killing Big Laura, yeah, that was rather expected, but killing her daughter! she was still a baby, and they use the n word alot. they also used a t word, but i'll ingnore that for now. and now to be random.... go fanfiction.net! and down with dissecting clams, worms and fetal pigs! i need a new comments code, and ..... gaiaonline rules. ok commercial beak over time for the book again. blah! i found that slow dude really annoying, not necessarily annoying enough to be murdered but annoying enough to beat up. mean, i know, but very true. Ned's kinda funny though. i can't believe he hit that calier kid over the head with a rock though. why does he like those things somuch. and i think grave of the fireflies is alot sadder and more tragic than any of the books we've had to read. woo!

This is my last the blog for the call of the wild! yay! basically john thornton gets killed by like the ya...... something indians, buck is really ticked off and kills a bunch of them, and then he goes feral killing like everything! i think there's an excerpt about him taking down a moose?!? or was that one of the other short stories by the author, was it jack london? eh. and what else is there to report/ oh1 that poor girl doggie gets ripped apart by her fellow canines!wah! ow cruel! my blogss are getting so short

2005-04-05T12:23:00.000-07:00

the dog dave, wahh1 it's so sad! i cant believe that they shot him, actually i can believe that..... it is rather logical. but still! ick! and and that female dog, dolly was it? ripped to pieces by her fellow canines! wah! waugh! ick. poor dave! they should have like brought him to a vet or something or like at least give him a check-up! but no! ick. the newest guys of that time charles and hal, it sounds like charles should be wearing acape and twisting his mustache evilly, like one of those fiends from the silent movies. it's kinda funny. so first francois and perrault and then the scotch half-breed, and noww charles, hal and mercedes. the evil villain the stupid young 'un and the damsel in distresss with no brains whatsoever. that is a great combination, its like zeus, hades and a stupid mortal priestess all over again! pffff! mercedes is nice enough but like really weak, and probably gives in pretty easily, hal and charles are both harsh, uncaring, callow and uncouth. the kind of people you want to beat up and then jump up and down on their skull until what's left or whatever they had of their brains fall out. mercedes is more like the person you would sympathize with, but still be disgusted at how useless and stupid she was.but then again i'm perfectly happy with the results of hal falling off the sled, too bad he didn't die though.

puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-04-01T11:39:00.000-08:00

well continuing from yesterday, at least francois and pierre are relatively fair. like when some other dog tried to steal his food, reminds me of my brother, in an odd ssort of way. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. and is spitz the dog that's blind on one side or is he the one that's like real sneaky and ends up being abandoned cuz he was so hard to work with? and wait was the name of one of the humans perrault or pierre. dang. no, sol-leks wass the half blind one, and dave was the dog that was sneaky? or was that billee, no billee was the cry baby, and i think spitz is the one who is like horrible and tthe people abandon him, and he goes feral and he like comes back after some time to try and kill buck.

ojpoibe kablooey!!!

2005-03-31T12:25:00.000-08:00

Buck's first two masters are Francois and Perrault, i think their french.... NO! really? pff. but before hand, it was so sad, the way they treated him 1 teasing and taunting and stuff and stuff... and the edition of the book with illustrations by kerel ketzer, is so ugly!!!!! and instead of being te red eyed devil buck is more like the lion wolf, and that's just impossible. and i realized something, it keeps on saying that buck hates the dude in the red sweater. but aren't dogs color - blind? ha ha! yay i found a mistake! it's so sad, even at the very beginning a dog is killed! wha! how inhumane! it's disgusting. it's also kind of hard to read the dialogue of francois and perrault, it's all wierd and it takes, not forever, but longer than if it was regular. dang, i have to go, reading period is getting shorter and shorter.

yay

2005-03-29T12:31:00.000-08:00

yay!!!! call of the wild! that reminds me i need to finish the autobiography of miss jane pittman. abut call of the wild is a good book, despite the fact a mild-mannered "co- starring dog gets torn apart limb from limb, it is otherwise very good.buck is like a real pommpous and arrogant jerk of a boss dog at first. like not fat but not like lean and muscled either. and there's that thing about the gardener what a scum bag. lololol. i wanted to know why would any body hire a dude like him? okay so he captures buck and sells him for a lot of money to pay for is own stupid gambling debts. what a great person! not. so he pays his gambling debts to people who are searching for gold in the frozen tundra that is alaska. and canada. how poetic, if it wasnt that buck gets beaten to a pulp by the people who sell dogs to the gold diggers. he gets all bloody and the collarss choking him and he's like dying from thirst and starvation. they are like so mean and i cant type for long cuz read period is almost over dang it. and to all who see this i am saying that call of the wild is so much better than that stupid shane, and tom sawyer, andwitc of blackbird pond, and johnny tremain.

2005-03-29T12:18:00.001-08:00

blah blah blabbity blh! I hate shane, there's so many details that in order to incorporate all of them you end up taking so long that it's soporific, it is complete frass! i hate it, the first time i tried to read i fell asleep, and it has nothing to do with the fact it was my bedtime, no way! i've stayed awake for like hours after my bedtime but no, that stupid book made me fall asleep at like ten! actually it was kinda funny. but that stupid book is long, tedious, boring, idiotic. the prolonged details make you want to throw the book on the ground and stomp on it repeatwedly to the point at which it's binding gets caught in the recesses of your shoe. great........... ain't it? and at the end of the book shane leaves and that will kid, i think, the one whose arm was broken by shane came to work for joe starret. ick. why would he do that? if it was me or certain others i'll refrain from mentioning *cough mathini, shelbey, victoria, cailtin, erika, champ, emily, leanni, hilary, anne, rainelle, ariel. cough * would like hate them and their friends for like forever and like be plotting revenge every day until i gt it. i mean why work for the friend of the person who broke your arm? plus i really wanted to see how shane died. he really annoyed me for one reason or another. but i really wanted to see how he would die.

2005-03-28T12:21:00.000-08:00

wilsn, whenever i hear that name i think of wilson from home improvement, not a trained assassin/ murderer. it's just not likt that. the name sounds very sissyish, and odd. like someone who does half of everything, always giving up. i can think of a few better wrds for that but it might not be allowed, in fact i know it's not allowed. oh well. and i don't remember what joe starrett did that made shane say "give him time and he'll be mayor of the place." did he give a speech or something? he sounds extremely odd. like at first i thought of starrett as like a muscle bound buffoon who could not do a algebra problem to save his life. then he turns into a people's person, great just what they need. ick. then he's like a farmer again, like a honest farmer, posibly a hillbilly. he has too many facets. ick. and just to tell all people, champ's name is now champagne, revenge for calling me margarita and mathini martini. bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

tch

2005-03-17T12:19:00.000-08:00

you know this is the first timei've actually took a good look at the shane cover.... he looks extremely paranoid! then again he's like that in the book isn't he? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. okay, from what i "remember" most of this i had to get from mathini, cuz you know she knows EVERYTHING! that's so annoying, but people keep on beating other people up. isn't that nice?!?!?!?!?!?!?! it's a wrestlers dream! so fletcher's "accomplices" more like pawns are hard at work at beconing little .......... *beeps* they're being complete jerks. great huh? and so people are beating up others for their property and stuff like that. and calling soda, pop, I am soooo glad we ldont do that anymore. it honestly sounds extremely stupid. and that dude Morgan, he reminds me of a painfully obvious and modern musclehead. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...... beef head. "He and his foreman, Morgan, a broad slab of a man with flattened face and head small in proportion to great sloping shoulders, were shrewd at things like this and they kept their men primed to rowel us homesteaders at every chance." That reminds me of a paranoid pug waiting under a tree for a little bird to fall out of it's nest. and by paranoid pug i mean a pug that had eaten like a turkey everyday of it's life and it looks like a balloon except for the head that never seemed to adapt to the size that it's body had ballooned in to. You could fill it with helium and use it at the Macy's thanksgiving parade! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. back to the point, the descriptions of the henchmen hardly seem realistic.

ick.

2005-03-04T12:23:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is supposed to be my second blog for shane. and i can't remember single thing. well, now that i think about it.....i remember some kind of fight in the "saloon," god that is so corny! and i hope, whoever is reading this notices that i no longer type in i.m. short.... hand? what ever it's called. even though i have like no time left right now. that thing about the guy who wants to take the other people's land.... and his right hand man wilson/ they are so greddy. and i also recall that a few men or at least one guy ws killed by a bullet.... you know after watching so many lord of the rings type movies and those other shows, that honestly doesn't seem so bad. and to erika's and mathini's comment, which included caitlin bennet.....don't call me that! it's not as if i don't names to call you! but i have the courtesy to not do so......tohru kiwihead!!!!!!..... or is it tohru ditzyhead? lololol hahahahahahaha got you back. i need some way of getting caitlin and mathini back though.shane reminds me of akito sohma.... they both seem rather evil, plus both of them have very odd and probably scary (in either disturbing or mysterious way) secret. but the difference is that akito works out of spite. poor kisa!!!!! stupid shigure. i'm going off topic. oops. o. k. back to the really boring, corny, and all in all stupid book shane. first thing is first. bobby's worries of shane leaving without saying goodbye, really seem out of place. and really stupid. next, it seems like that shane likes bobby's mom. ewwwwwwwwwwwww! how unfaithful! lololol

eh.

2005-02-28T12:21:00.000-08:00

time for shane! how lame. it kind of sucks eally. not only is shane an incredibly boring book, but it revolvess around a person who is like, completely paranoid. Like, obody could blame him for any crime in the first place, but then he just has to act all paranoid, and rouse the people's suspicion. At first before i read it i thought that this book was this story about a boy and a horse... boy, i was sooooooooooooo wrong! it's about a boy, his family, and a paranoid fighting cow boy. how nice, what a perfect setting. it's like so.... picture esque. did i spell that right ? probably not. now one of the first things about the book i noticed was that these people are incredibly stubborn, and some of them are really dour. ok that thing about the stump.... why did he want to move that thing again? did he ever thingk about digging up the roots rather than trying to pull them out? i say this because my mom made me help dig up part of the backyard so we could plant stuff there, in the book it said that the roots were like extremely thick, i couldn't even pull up a small one! what are these people? mini arnold schwartzenaggers? it's scary! plus that thing about the cake, well, that just goes to show that many women are alot like men. even in the worse aspects. ew......... that kid bobby, or billy or whatever. honestly he doesn't seem like his dad. he seems more sissyish. he's like a mama's boy, in a certain way. is this a hundred words already? MOMIJI RULES! AYAME IS THE GREATEST .******************.........sure..............

2005-01-26T18:36:00.000-08:00

Margaret Lee Cui
Due: January 27, 2005
Honors Essay
The question imposed on us "gifted" students at the moment is how do the books you have been assigned to read compare to what you are reading in U.S. History or Social Studies class? My first instinctive answer, ha! That must be a trick question! After a moments reconciliation, and thinking, it actually wasnt a trick question.
In class we are or were at least learning of the laws and amendments among other things such as explorers and Native Americans. Whereas the books, Tom Sawyer, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Johnny Tremain dont seem to have much to do with any of the ones Ive mentioned. Tom sawyer, I rather failed to find the specific time period in that one, but Im pretty sure it was before the Revolutionary War when African Americans were still slaves, it was, simply put, really racist. The Witch of Black bird Pond however seems to be more about the Salem Witch Trials and the absurdity of past judgments and laws. Lastly Johnny Tremain was about the Revolutionary War. Somehow at the first thought, the two concepts of the comparison of class and books, there werent a lot of similarities, more like none actually, though if you really rather stretch the boundaries in some cases you probably can see some similarities.
Well, the most obvious one would have to be Johnny Tremain with the Revolutionary War, though in class, the subject was rather studied shallowly, and it was still studied. The other part of it, if its any constellation in English class we learned of Paul Revere, the poem about him and a bit about silver smiths, but that was basically it. We did start a bit of the Boston Tea Party, I believe but we didnt get very far, in class that is.
Next, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, the main correlation is the law. Near the beginning of the year we have been learning about the amendments and the laws, why they were established and how. The Salem witch trials doesnt have much to do with this, but we can compare how our present-day laws are to the laws stated in this book. For example you need solid evidence to actually accuse someone and bring him or her to trial. Then again nowadays, if you tried to blame someone of being a witch most people would probably think of you as a preposterous, maniacal, madman with a hint of paranoia, a.k.a. a psychopath, but thats not the point. The point is the comparison of laws, of present-day America and a historical fiction book. Not to mention the child labor laws, dear Prudence from The Witch of Blackbird Pond, who was forced to plow the fields of their farmland at such a young age.
The last book is the all-around American classic, Tom Sawyer. The main issue being racism. In class we learned of the White persons racism towards Africans, toward Native Americans, and basically anybody they thought to be lesser than them, though once again this was not studied in depth. In class we watched a video about how harshly African Americans were treated as slaves, freed people, and "equal civilians". Honestly, this book doesnt have that much racist comments, though you still know that there still were slaves. Though in Tom Sawyer the perspective was mainly of children, not to mention white children who truly thought that they were better than the African Americans, or they didnt care about them in any way, thinking of them as a pet of some kind. Whereas in class, we learned the true bloodshed, how killing a person of different racial background was pretty darn close to killing livestock, except they didnt end uyp eating the person, like they did the livestock. The other one matter would be how Tom and his fellow classmates were beaten in class for unruly behavior. Yes I know, this wasnt exactly a major topic in class but we did study laws, there are child abuse laws I think. If a child were ever beaten in class for discipline in this day and age the teacher would presumably be sued.
I think I have covered all the comparisons and contrasting elements of both.

Ok, sice i'm rather ahead, more than i'm actually supposd 2 b, i won't give away da next book's story line/ ending. at least i'll try not 2 do so 2 much. The next book: The witch of blackbird pond, is about kit. i alredi finished it, hehehe. I'm quite proud of myself. lol, not realli. First question, how can she hav all dat stuff without wonderin whea da monii wuz comin from? and it neva mentiond from wut disease her gramps died from. how can she swim wid all dat clothes on? i mean shez wearin 1 of dose real big and real expensive dresses, i wud think most ppl would lyk sink from dat.

I think awefulli inpolite 2 just sho up wid out an invite, may b datz y her unc wuz so flustered. and her cuz seemz soo nice, may b datz her namez mercy. but judith seemz rather stuck up, if not entirely like egotistical. lyk waaay 2 proud of herself evn tho she didn't do nuttin. her mum ain't wut i xpectd. first i thot it wuld b lyk a real mean aunt, den from da description i thot she wuld b real pretti and real welcomin. well, she wuz real welcomin. she soundz lyk real worn tho from da min kit arrived. i'm usin da word real alot ain't i? dey neva actualli desbribed whether or not kit wuz one of dose ppl who were lyk so extremely pretty dat u were dazzled by her appearence.

cesspool smell

2004-10-13T19:56:00.000-07:00

Since I have nothing else to talk about I shall talk about the book. Literally! This book, really, honest to goodness smells. Really! I am so not kidding! You flip the page, and there is the smell. The foulest odor of fermenting wood, tinted with the nasty smell of one too many fish left out in the sun. It is then sprinkled with the lingering scent of a garbage can. Filled with cat puke, and possibly some cat poo that wasn’t actually pooped in the kitty litter box. You hold your breath as you read. However it is not for the suspected, and or usual reasons. What a disappointment, don’t you agree? Next topic: the cover. This cover, I must say is quite truly very realistic. Some people actually thought it was a real picture. Cough, cough. However…Johnny Tremaine in this picture, has no widow’s peak. Plus when you look closely, you can almost see his cheek bone; it looks rather gaunt close up compared to the courageous visage from far away. What is confusing of the picture is the fact that the council house or however you may call it seems to be sitting on a British soldier, or should I say the British Soldier was in it’s background. Ok so it’s tradition, but didn’t the British understand that there is no such thing as completely blood red foliage? They stand out as much as a basketball amid a dozen tutus. Imagine the Battle of Lexington; of course I haven’t a clue as to whether the fracas was fought on plain or in city; As I have said before, there is really no common knowledge of blood red grass that hasn’t been painted or experimented on. So on the green, brown, or possibly white ground of the battlefield dotted with a massive tidal wave of red specks; already a very easy target, not to mention if they had a drummer or if they were hollering war songs. It would have been the same in the cities, except with more confusion, and the background would have been the cobblestones or dirt roads they had. And now to be completely off topic once again…Rab died, how incredibly sad.
Since I finished this early I'm gonna go on to the Tom Sawyer one cuz i finishd da witch of blackbird pond yesterdaii.

standing men and mutant horses

2004-10-13T19:53:00.000-07:00

A man can stand up. I think it was John Hancock, or somebody who said that. I understand the meaning of the phrase, however the man who said so rather confuses me. At first I got the impression that he was strictly against the rebellion on the whole, in fact I thought he was a Tory. But then he says this phrase. Does that mean that the secretly wanted the rebellion to happen but was forbidden to express it. Eh. Next question, Goblin. That odd slash freaky horse. It sounds more like a Dalmatian than a horse. Honestly! It said that this horse was odd and out of place due to it’s coloring, the horse’s coat was described as dappled, and had a certain sheen…? Who would name a horse goblin? Were not the goblins depicted as gigantic monstrosities with incredibly short tempers and had a horrible thirst for killing? Were they not carnivorous beings that did not find it below themselves to kill fellow goblins, various organisms and creatures, none which actually exclude human beings. Whereas horses are herbivores, they are not very likely to suddenly become carnivorous at any time, at least nowadays and way back when. I look back at the last few lines I have typed…I must say I have out done myself, rather extravagantly. I wish I could type on word the way I type on instant messaging, but, the little red and green squiggles that show up when I type like that annoy me so, Eh. So far I’ve kept up an average of about three hundred words per entry. How am I supposed to keep that up? At the moment I can’t think of any more comments and or questions…never mind only eight more words to go… wait… wait… three hundred words! Yay!

Revelutionary Friends and Egotistical Enemies

2004-10-09T13:31:00.000-07:00

rab, he's rather confusing, at first they're like , he's this really peaceful dude who lykz helpin ppl, e.g. tremaine.But then wen da revelution starts he turns into an almost bloodthirsty patriot, who'll do nethin 4 a gun/ rifl, wuteva u call it. and alot of the times he acts lyk this hero, savin lil kids, animals, too bad he died. dat reminds me, how long had dey been on dat battlefield if he got shot b4 he could even use dat rifle? i keep on 4gettin who dat dude wuz , da one dat gave tremaine his rifle, i member he had brite red hair, he wanted 2 b a farmer, and he lykd cilla............... it was pumpkin! wth? another question...y would lavinia take issannah? in physical descriptions they're the exact opposite, lyk, onez dark-haired and elegant the other is fair-haired and cute, not elegant.and itz still real unfair 2 cilla, she hasta b a servant cuz of issannah, nd it sed sumthin bout issannah wantin 2 bcome an actress, first word to come to mind: primadonna. lavinia must've realli wanted 2 b an actress if she wantz issannah 2 b 1 2.and so quite predictably issannah chooses possible fame and fortune over da onli person who actualli cared 4 her wen she wuz alwayz sick nd throwin up. how disgustingly selfish. my next question...if you hid inside a featherbed wouldn't you suffocate? uncle lorne, it said he wuz a timid man but wut wuz he hidin from? i couldn't understand if he was hidin from bein recruited or from bein killed, y would sumbodii name their kid rabbit? not onli dat but wouldn't it b painfulli obvious 2 others if most of the feathers dat r supposed 2 b in a feather bed r scattered on the kitchen floor? wut if sumbodii tried 2 search da house and took a long time, aunt jenifer would've sewn up da thing by den, it would've been inevitable. so den uncle lorne wuld've died newayz. great...

killing spirit

2004-10-08T18:34:00.000-07:00

who needz enemies wen they hav such lousy family members. I mean really, that book is just sooo idiotic, the description of mr. lite makes him sound like a melted candle, johnny tremaine's life pretty much sux (up to a certain point). hez just been renounced from everything he knows and thot he had, how wonderful. i mean how bad could the hand look? and to bring him to court for possesion of a cup. how imaginative, not. that woman lavinia, she very plainly sounds like a demon disguised as a woman, a type of ice queen or what you will. and Issanah, it really soundz as if shez is going to be spoiled rotten to the point of universal disgust.if everybody in her family are considered homely how did she come to be pretty, i mean itz genetics, maybe she had a grandparent who was more presentable....naahh. i think i'm gonna go on to the next book in the honors list, i'm really very bored, now if only i could find it....hope it didn't get shredded. i really don't like the genre they picked for us, oh well. tho i really would prefer 2 read tamora pierce bookz, or just fantasy ones, ah well, wut can ya do. But really wutz the next book required? and my next question is why is my font size getting bigger?.....o. I really don't see how this book describes the history of the united states, ok so the ending describes the war quite a bit but the beginning is rather confusing, is it saying ppl didnt accept crripplez or r dey sayin silver smithz r prone 2 injury?or wuz it dat a lot of marriages were arranged? u hafta admit itz real petty of how dey treat a cripple lyk johnny and how dey treated sum1 lyk issannah. itz lyk so wrong and well, they're kinda stupid. i wonder issannah ever becomez that actress, and if johnny getz killed in da war?

melting silver

2004-10-07T13:52:00.000-07:00

Yodeo!!!! name's margaret lee cui nickname's ~~. i just read Johnny Tremaine, i finished it the day i got it, took bout and hour. i'm quite proud of it. the original blog i wrote was propmtly deleted so u can understand my frustration.
but let me sumit up. i hated that book. Trmaine lif os just sooo dismal. having the possibility 2 b come da greatest silver smith and carve ur name into the world, to hav it completely destroyed becuz of a prank a lesser and jealous opponent played. despicable.
wen he became crippled everybodii btrayed him. ignored him, treated him badly and basically left him for ded.
and dat family he stayed wid, da Laphamz Mrs. Lapham, Mr. Lapham, Madge, Dorcas, Cilla, Issannah, Dove, and Dusty. Mrs Laphram is lyk a elephant of a woman, Mr. Lapham a fool of a priest, Madge letz just say she takez afta her mum. Dorcas, a plain idiot, Cilla, da best in her family, Issannah, i thot she wud b lyk dis innocent angel of a child, she turned out to b dis conceited, mean, horrible, self-centered lil devil of a poo hed. Dove, don't even get me started, how can a boy, described to fit the visage of a bull frog b named dove? Hez really mean as well. dat stupid hed!!! And of course dusti, who lookz up 2 ne1 in charge, damn traitor.
I still hate this book. I wanna read da next one. did u eva kno dat Paul Revere was wuz a silver smith? lol datz lyk sayin did u kno dat a cow fartz 50 tonz of methane gas in to da air each day/ itz tru tho.
til lata:
