What makes you want to listen

I think suspense and tone make a book or story good because you want to know what the next step in the story is. Like for example stephon king is a good author that does that. Everybody at least knows one of his suspense books like IT OR CHILDREN OF THE CORN. Which both are books that are filled with a scary tone and suspense. Relating it to something in our life makes a book good too because you can break it down more and understand it more since you have already gone through it.

So long as there shall exist...

There is many problems going on at this time. People are suffering because people are blind and cant see the wrong that other people are going through. Starvation, abuse by the rich, and Poverty. People aren't looking at all the bad caused by these problems. Victor Hugo is saying that more books like these need to be publish so we get awareness and help change the world.

Rolling up my sleeves

I feel a bit overwhelmed reading this book. I already have so much on my plate with other classes and sports. That i feel like i'm going to have a hard time reading this book the whole amount time we take to read this book. But i'm doing it with my class and not alone so it should help a bit instead of reading it all by my self.

Children of the corn

The book children of the corn is a book about to people Bert and Vicky theses two couple were traveling on a highway by the corn field. Bert then hits a boy on the highway because Vicky distracts him. He then pulls over finds a brief case in the corn field. He takes both the kid and the briefcase and puts him in the trunk and the briefcase in the car. Bert through out the whole book feels like he is being watched. The couple are deciding on where to take him and if they should report it. Bert wants to record it because he wants to make sure that his family finds out if they're family member is dead or alive. Vicky just wants to leave his body there because she is already scared and wants to leave and put all that behind them. Then the couple end up in a town because of miss leading signs has been pointing them to a ghost town. The couple then gets surrounded by children killers and they have to fight to survive. I think the theme of the book is that don't believe everything a person says. I think this is the theme because the leader of the cult for the kids tells all of them to kill their parents because god said. I think Stephen King woke up that morning with a urge to scare people with the people fear less children. I think he also wanted people to take a step back and really visualize kids a different way. The book used suspense because it makes you feel like you are in the car with them and you are being watched. Children of the corn used repetition a lot because the book was in a constant loop with it always mentioning religion and Bert and Vicky always fighting. The tone seemed dark because who really wants to make a book about kids being killed and kids killing their parents. This book used a lot of irony because the whole book the couple were having an argument about what to do with body and they would never listen to each other. The book also used a couple of things that we can relate to. For example the book takes place by the cornfield most of the time and we all know that corn fields are never a place where something good happens.

Friday Reading

Bert was being tested by Vicky because she had the keys and said you think i wouldn't leave you here alone. She had the care keys in her purse and Bert knew that so he made a move for her bag. She was slow to react but when she did she try to yank the shoulder strap back. Burt was stronger than her and got it. He flipped the bag upside down and everything fell out. Vicky and Bert both saw the keys and went for it but Bert came up with it she said she wanted to leave because she was scared and started crying.

Thursday Rreading

Vicky did not feel safe she was scared and was always laughing so she can stay calm. Bert was concerned and asked are you okay Vicky. Vicky said yes as soon as we get out of here. She didn't wanna be on the highway next to the corn field. Vicky told Bert to turn around and if he didn't she would hold her breath until she turned purple. Bert told Vicky this is someones kids i have to report it.

Wednesday Reading

In the middle of an argument the couple were fighting once again. Bert took his eyes of the road to look at Vicky so she knew that he meant business. When that happened Vicky said Bert watch out. Bert was scared he was begging for it to be a cat but no. When he got out of the car he realized he had ran over a kid.

Tuesday reading

I am reading children of the corn by Stephen King. The part that i read was mainly about explain the characters Bert and Vicky they were married. There relationship wasn't very strong they were always arguing for the smallest reasons. Bert wouldn't like to arguing he was always  wanting for it not to happen but Vicky would always get mad for the smallest reasons.

Fridays les miserables

Im happy that we as a class are wanting to finish the book because im starting to like the book so far and every time class is over i feel kinda mad because the book is leaving me on a cliff hanger. I think that with the acts that people do these days are trying to change up the world but there is not enough good to completely change the world. But i think if people read this book then people would realize the bad we have and would like to change it.

Les Mierables

The biggest book I've ever read was Diary of The Wimpy and it was 216 pages long But it was a fun book that i always like reading because it wasn't like any other book where it was serious and used big words. The diary of the wimpy kid used words that back then i could understand. But now I have seen the true size of Les Miserables and wow that book is really big. I checked the last page and the book is about 1400 pages long witch dam its big.I feel like some days i might be a little sleepy and get tired of reading but i also feel like its gonna be interesting because I read what it was about and I liked it because it was like sorta what we go through now.

Les Miserables

From what i heard today Les miserabales seems like a book i am going to like. The book from what I know is about a poor man named Jean Valijean he got imprisoned for stealing a bread and got a cruel amount of time which originally was 5 years but turned into 19 for trying to escape from prison. Thats exactly how time is right now because if in immigrant or black person commits a crime they get sent to jail or just get deported back to where they come from. People always assume browns and black are affiliated with gangs like that is BS how we get discriminated like that.

Going to war

I think the fear of the king killing the people pushed them to fight in war. In war you have a chance to at least live because in war u have a chance of winning. If they wouldn't go to war then you are guaranteed to be killed. If someone told you would u rather get killed or go to war and have a chance to live which one would you choose I know i would choose the second one because i would be trying to be with my family.
