BookTheif 1/16/12

The book starts with Lesial's parents dieing, so she and her baby brother are sent to a foster home, but on the way there her baby brother dies, and without the baby brother the foster home doesn't want her. Then she gets moved to a different home, her new family wants her to go to school. She is very bad at reading and writing so, she stays up very late every night to learn and her papa comes up and tells her a story about how he lived in a war because he tripped and didn't go to the battle field that day. But his friend dies that day so he tells his Friend's family that he died. He also told them if they need help ask. So then they send there Jewish son over to hide with them and Lesial and the Jewish boy become friends. They have a good time but there to loud and so the family next to them see the Jewish boy, and call the police. The police come and take him away. He's then sent to a concentration camp, Because of the camps America comes and bombs them and since Lesials lives close to one of the camps everyone that she knows dies.


I think the book is great. The author did a really good job on showing what it was like to be a German girl in world war 2. I also  love how the book is narrative by death it just gives the book a huge leap on what a other book would be if it was narrative by one person. I think the only part that could be better is the ending it's really sad and the worst, it's everyone dieing when it could have been like 50 other better things. I liked the style of writing being in 3 person omitoin and it's most likely one of my favorite books of all time!!!

The Book Theif (Book Report)

• I think the title of the book Book Thief Is important because it's two things, a summery and a lie. It also doesn't give in to what the book is about, yet. The book is about stealing books, but their is no way you would have known that until you read most of the book. It could be called sooo many things. It's also a lie because the stealing in the book is so little, compared to the other things going on, (I mean Hitler is taking over the world at this point). So if you think this book is still about a thief you right, and wrong.
• I think that this book's view is one of the Rare, Third person omnicient. I think this because the book is being led by many people and many thoughts one of these people is the infamous Death himself. I like this style of writing because if I'm right then all of the story lines will come together, I also like how it narrated by Death because he throws in a bit of humor here and there. I also like it because since Death is all seeing, he pulls you along and it makes me seem like I'm one of the spirits (dead people) that he carries along to Heaven pulling you back and forth.
• I think this book has a lot of themes. I think the main one is to stand up to a bigger people in this book, You see kids standing up to bullies, you also see a small Jew boxing Hitler. I think there is also a lot of friendship in this book, and how friends can help you when your down, these people in the book are all poor and in Germany when Hitler's trying to take over the world. I think that some times it can be hard to find the friends and the helping, but if you take apart the whole story you see that friends are in all the main parts in the story

FEAST FOR ALIENS "MOOD" Blog for Bean

I think mood is how you feel when you read a book, does it make you happy or sad? Does it make you want to laugh? I think all good storeys need a mood, I think the base of the story is black and white, and the mood is what gives it its color.

"Quotes" from the story

1. "For Williams, whose step-parents had been mercilessly eaten on a bright, fall morning" 
2. "It was well known among the humans that the Aliens hated feet, so it was common to come home to see your family's feet in a big pile 
3. "Uncle Maynard began to pour out cups of tea, when the patriotic music on the T.V. suddenly halted and a deep voice came on"
4. "As the fire burst upwards the explosion seem to grow, William felt enveloped by an astonishing kind of numbness"

"To think this was all over chicken pox"
"WHAT!?!"
"The aliens are suffering from, Chicken pox"
"Very, very deadly"

This is what each of the "quotes" made me think, The mood of each the quotes

1. This gives me a sence of doom and sadness, but the background "Bright fall morning" gives me a sense of this is a big starter for the story like the author wants to make you think this is good
2. This is again a sense of doom, but it sounds like the norm for humans at that time
3. The deep voice makes him sound like he's about to say something life changing
4. This makes everyone scared
5. This again just begins back the randomness back to the story, A good ending or something else might happen again

THE NEWEST 39 CLUES Medusa Plot, 10/24/11

I just started this book today. From the 5 minutes I've been reading it, I think this will be a awesome book. From what I've read people are kidnaping Cahills, with these small rags with something on them, a chemical that makes people sleepy. I wonder what the chemical is? You see it in alot of movies and stuff. I wonder if I could fine some? I think it the same thing thats in sleeping pills but stronger. I wonder what will happen later in the book?

Blog FOR BEAN i forgot the book so it's a no namer 10/20/11

I am reading this book called The Defence of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter. So far it's very confusing because it's written in nothing but letters. It jumps from one point of view to the next. Along with different things like 1 time there was a letter about C.P.R on a fat man in a red shirt to one on school improvement. It's still a good book at times. If it's not switching all the time. Also I've learned this book has a random side with random "Fun Facts".   Also, Arthur must love nachos, since all the lunch Lady's are sending him notes saying "You eat all of the Nachos." As long as I'm not confused I think it a very good book.
