Two new books




Now I'm reading two new books after a while. The first one is called The Whispering Road and the other is called The Book of Night with Moon. By the name of the first one you probably all ready know that it has something to do with ghosts. Actually one of the main characters, Annie, can contact spirits. Though his bother (I guess you can call him a the main character bacause he is the one that has the point-of-veiw) doesn't like it very much. The other one is about cats :). It's set at a more modern time at New York. There is something different about this place though. Within the crowds their are wizards. Both animal and human, yet they only seem a myth here, just because low in profile gets their jobs done.

Finished!

I'm finised with Watership Down! It was a good book, though it was long... about 480 pages or something like that. It's a great book for anyone who likes adventure!

Oh, and this might be a spoiler but the rabbits are safe at the end :)

Part One: The Journey

There are four parts to Watership Down, and the first part to what I see is the largest. Of course it's called the journey because that's exacally what they're doing. In this part you learn about some rabbit ledgends and other stuff, and the all important thing that rabbits bolt or stare stiff when frightened.
The big part of this is the warren that they find. This warren has something off about it, and Fiver knows it. Though the others thing nothing of it, sure they're kind of weird but they're friendly. Stilll, some things are fishy, why are the rabbits not answering any questions that start with "where"? Things are pretty odd in this warren, is it safe, or not?

On with Watership Down

Now we finally start the begining!

The rabbits live a warren, very, very peaceful. Yet there's one rabbit that's a little uneasy.

Fiver, the fifth of the litter somehow or another is able to predict dangers, know if something is dangerous, and can see if were they're going to go is safe and nothing bad is going to happen.
One day Fiver gets all uneasy and tells Hazel is older brother that something bads going to happen to the warren, and they need to excape, NOW! Hazel remembers all Fiver's predictions always ending being right. Yet somehow he thinks just leaving the warren has the same amount of danger, and what about the rest of the rabbits? So, they go to tell the Chief Rabbit, the one in charge of everything, and ask him about it. Well, the warren has something like a protection group too, and they're not really the friendly type. They turn them down thinking Fiver is just imagining things. Fiver can't shake the felling though and asked Hazel if they can leave again, just them. Of course Hazel thinks better about that, and says that maybe they should bring some others just incase. And they do find some rabbits willing to help, and thus begining their journey to a faraway place to call home.

The Beginning of Watership Down


As I told you on the other blog this book is about rabbits. The two main characters presented in the beginning are, a male called Hazel and his little brother Fiver. In this book the rabbits talk in Lapine. Well in Lapine the only numbers they know are 1, 2, 3, and 4. So another way two say "Fiver" is "Hrairoo" a.k.a "Little Thousand". All the other numbers are just Hrair, or any number over four.

On the left, is the cover of the book. I'm really not sure which character is on the front, or if it's just some random rabbit, but if I had to choose I would think it's Hazel.

I'll continue the next time I blog.

Another Book

As you know I finished the other book so now I get to choose my own book.
The book is called Watership Down, by Richard Adams. It's an adventure story about rabbits.
I really like it so far. I'm not even halfway yet.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days!


Some people should have at least heard of this game. Well even if you didn't I got it!
It's a really good RPG. It's not a continuation of Kingdom Hearts 2, instead it's a side story
about Sora's noboby Roxas. I'm going through it at a decent pace so far.
(I't for the nintendo D.S.)

Finished the book!

Finally I finished the book, Blackships before Troy. The Greece won and got Helen back in the end. Of course this was all posible because of the Trojan horse of woodyness. LOTS of the main peoples died though. This is the long list: Hector- Paris' brother died from Achilles, Patroclus- Achilles friend died from Hector, Achilles died from Paris' arrow (he has a really good shot at the ankle of course), and finally Paris died from a poisoned arrow from Philoctetes a character the Greece left on an island until the gods told them to get him back. In the end the Greece took over the empire of Troy!

What is this blog about?

Well I started this blog for my Mastery class at school.
First I have to blog about this story we're reading in a literally
group. I might blog about some other random stuff though. There will also be
things about certain books I've read so if you want to get into a new book or series
you can always see if I have something good.

Next few chapters

We just read some more chapters of Blackships before Troy.
The war has gotten very bloody. The Greece people, (the ones fighting the Troy) just slain six people at night, so Zues didn't like that, sohe made it rain red water the next
day, over the Greece people. In the last few things I forgot about one person that could be a main character from the Greek side. His name is Achilles, and from certain things from his childhood, he is acually immortal expect for one of his heels. He left though because the Greek's High King was being mean to him.

the ebay song...and more

Just to type something new and different I'm going to talk about some really
awesome songs that i like. The first one is new to me (I just found it), it's called the ebay song, the things the person singing are totally useless. Then there's the fast food song. (chorus-a pizza hut a pizza hut kentucky fried chicken and a pizza x2 mcdonalds mcdonalds kentucky fried chinken and a pizza hut x2) Next is cereal and milk, such a simple song. Last is the badger song, it might be kind of anoying to some people though. mushrooms!!!!!!

More about the book.

Okay, the guy who went of with the girl is called Paris, and the girl is called Helen. She's also the person that's on the cover. The war is still going, and neither side is backing down. This war will take a while!

Blackships before Troy


We just started to read this book, and so far it's okay... The thing that's


bothering me is the lack of details. (I guess that's how you can say it.)


The long timeline, (maybe around 15 years already passed) and the many names, make following kind of hard. There was already a war, and it lasted for 11 years! (I don't think it even ended yet.) The war was started by a prince from Troy that stole a princess of another country, that was already married, and even though they both loved each other the husband, that was also the king, didn't like it at all and declared war.

I also have a picture of the cover over to the left.
( I think we're on page 23)

The book my group chose...

The book we chose was the one about greek mythology.
The one about Blackships. It seems pretty interesting. There's probably going to be some great battles. It's a fantasy book so that's more fun. (some of the anime/manga I watch/read have mythology in it so that's even better!)
