Skills 6/7/11

I plan on keeping my reading skills up over the summer by reading as much as I can. I might read every night, or I'll try to get some reading in at least three days a week. I want to at least read four books this summer if not more. I'll write about the book afterwords so I can keep my writing skills up as well as my reading. I plan on getting a library card soon so I can read all the books I want.

Education 6/1/11

The point of an education is so you can have a better life, and do better things with that life. You can get a better job, rather than if you didn't have an education. You can be semi or really smart. The point of an education is so you can have a good and successful future. Nowadays you need some kind of an education to have some kind of a job. You can just get an education just because you want to. You don't have to but the chances of having a better life are higher, because you got an education. Then you can do something great with that education.

This Weekend 5/20/11

This weekend I'm hopefully going to get over being sick, so I can go play basketball. I also want to go to the beach, shopping or go swimming somewhere. I might start studying for my permit this weekend. I'll most likely get stuck babysitting. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do over my weekend, but hopefully it's something fun.

5/17/11

If I could change one thing about myself, it would most likely be my being tired all the time. If I wasn't so tired all the time then I could do more things, like go for walks, play sports, or maybe even read more. I could pretty much do anything I'm unable to do because I'm always tired. Also I would want to learn more, and I would be able to learn more.

T.V./ Movies 5/11/11

I spend about fifty to seventy hours, or so watching movies every week. I like mystery, adventure, comedy, scary, action, and romantic type of movies and shows. Basically anything eye catching, and interesting. CSI: Miami, Law and Order: SVU, The Secret Life of a American Teenager, and Pretty Little Liars are a  few of my favorite shows. I don't really like reality shows, because I think they're pretty fake. I also don't really like war or history shows. I think war is absurd, and I don't care much about history.

Project 5/3/11

      Kit is on the "Dolphin" which is a boat. She is taking the Dolphin to America, to her family in Connecticut. After she gets there she realized she was unwanted there, and was an outsider. Later on in the book she meets an elderly woman named Hannah, Hannah was suspected on being a witch for being a "Quaker". Since Kit becomes friends with this old woman, the town starts to believe Kit might also be a witch. Strange things start to happen after Kit gets there, so is she a witch? There is a lot of ups and Downs in this book, and a few lessons to be learned. While reading this story you get to experience all the fear, anger, loss, sadness, hope, and lesson(s) that Kit experiences.

5/2/11

I think the message in the book so far is, about a young confused trouble making girl that learns how to behave herself, how to help, and how to respect others. A long the way she meets new people, like Hannah and Prudence they make her realize shes better than what she thought she was. A lesson we today could learn is not to judge others, because you're most likely wrong. Also another lesson is even if you're disobedient don't mean that you're a bad person.

4/28/11

My thoughts on the book, are that I know I came in at the end of the book, but it still seems to be pretty good. It's different than what I would normally read, but it's still interesting. We're at the end so it's getting to the big mystery, so things are becoming less secretive. Will Kit get killed? Will Hannah come back? Are both Hannah and Kit really witches? I guess we'll find out soon.

Plot and recall

After Kit helped Hannah escape for the mob, Kit saw the Dolphin and on it was Nat. Kit had Nat take Hannah to his grandmother's for the rest of the season. Then Kit ran home only to find no one had known she was even gone. Next there was a knock at the door, and standing in the door way was a few towns people, the constable, Goodman Cruff, and his wife. They were saying Hannah had turned into a mouse, and had escaped before they're able to get her. They also had found a hornbook which Kit had said belonged to her.

I decided to do number three "back of the book".
