Week 14 :)

Honestly, I didn't like this project. I love to read, but I like to do it on my own time, not for an assignment, ya know? Although this wasn't my favorite project, I was glad that we did it because I ended up reading some really good books, one of which is my new favorite.

This project has made me find out the type of books I love to read, and will read in the future. My dad always told me reading was good for you, and I usually do everything he says so...I guess I'll continue reading.

I feel like I acomplished a lot of reading during this project. I read 4 books and read over twenty hours. Go me. I'm not sure how many pages they were, but it was a whole lot.

This week: 2 hours
Total time: 26 hours
Books read: A walk to Remember, The Seer of Shadows, Tuesdays With Morrie, Before I Fall

Week 13 Bro.

Well, Mr. Strusz, I only read books that keep my intrest. If it's a boring book, i'll not read it. I only read on my own time, not yours. Thank you Mr. Strusz.

Time this week: 3 hours
Total time: 24

Week 12! WHAT I INFER YO!

Okie Dokie. Well I infer that by the end of the story, the main charachter, Sam, will figure out the reasoning behind her death. She has to relive the tragety seven times, and by that time I think she will make some kind of difference so that she didnt take her life for granted. My second inference is that that one guy who's name I cannot recall at the moment will make sam realize that she is a meanie pants and that she is not doing the right things hanging out with her girlies.

MOVIE CASTTTT :)

So, I have not started reading my new book yet, so I'll pick some people for The Notebook. I would choose Julianne Hough to play Allie, Liam Hemsworth to play Noah. And the other people aren't that important. so yep. I think the movie would turn out to bee wonderfullll.

Time this week: 0
Total time: same as last

Spring Break Reading Endeavors.

Over spring break, I was a loser and had no plans, I read The Notebook. It was such a sweet book. This was the second time i had read the book, and I'm glad i decided to read it again, because I picked up details that slipped by me the first time. I cried the first time I read this book, and I cried the second time. Nicholas Sparks writes about the kind of love everybody dreams of. It was so romantic and I couldn't put it down.

Time this week: 3.5 hours
Total time: 20 hours

Week 9!

The Seer of Shadows by Avi is not really what I expected. Yeah I read the back cover and all, but i really debated whether or not i was going to give the book a chance. Well now i am glad i did. I really enjoyed the book. I figured it would've been lame sauce boring and stuff, but it was actually decent. I would definitely recommend it.
this week: 2 hours
Total: 16.5

Week 8

The antagonist in my book is an old woman named Mrs. Von Macht. She is very evil but plays it off by pretending to be loving, kind, and nice. She mistreats people and even killed a young girl. What a meanie pants.

Time this week: 2 hrs
Total time: 14 .5

Week 7. Plot Twist

In all honesty, I cant think of a plot twist that would make this book better. Although I am not far into it, this book has kept my attention and I enjoy reading it a lot. I thought it would have been super boring, but it really isn't. I look forward to reading more of it.

Time this week- 2 hours
Total time- 12.5 hours

Week 6...

 Do you believe in miracles?

Local North Carolina teen dies shortly after marriage .

 Jaimie Sullivan, diagnosed with leukemia not long ago, recently past away after wedding Landon Carter. The two fell in love unexpectedly and tied the knot after Carter found out Sullivan was slowly dying. They wed in the same church in which Sullivans mother and father were married many years before. Just a couple weeks after the ceremony, Sullivan passed away. "She always said she believed in miracles," said Carter, "and now so do I. Jaime was my miracle"

Week 5! Friends with the characters?!

Would I ever want to be best buds with a nice christian young lady with morals and values, or a young mystery man with a big heart? I Think so! Here's why- 1) Jamie is so selfless. I know I would be able to depend on her. 2) Landon and Jamie are both Christians, so that's a big plus! 3) Landon, although he doesn't like to show it, has a big heart. 4) Jamie is so sweet and kind! 5) I know I would have fun if Landon was my friend! :)

Time this week- 2 hrs
Total Time- 8.5 hrs

Week 4: How sweet the SOUND...TRACK. =p

            Okay, the first song I chose was I Dare you to Move by Switchfoot. I chose this song because it's all about living in the moment and that's a strong message A Walk To Remember portrays.

            The next song I chose was If you Believe by Rachel Lampa. This song is about finding the person that you've dreamed and prayed about. I think this relates to the book in the way that Jamie and Landon didn't expect to fall in  love but they did anyway.

            This song is called No One by Cold. This song relates in the way that Jamie is all alone at the beginning of the book.
            Tonight by FM Static is a good song for this theme because it's about remembering all the times with that special someone who is no longer with you.

Time this week: 2 hours
Total: 6.5

Week 3. Thinking Questions!

Why is Landon embarrased that people know he walks Jamie home from school?

I think that Landon is embarrassed because Jamie doesn't really hang out with anybody so she's kind of the outcast.

Do you think Landon is developing feelings for Jamie?

Yes, because everytime he drops her off at home he thinks how much more normal the conversations are getting.

Do you think the play performances brought Landon and Jamie together?

Oh yeah. They never talked before and now they are like best friends. Kind of. Not really.


Time this week-2 hours
Total time-4.5 hours

Is this week one or two? Oh the confusion. COVER ART.

Hmmm. Does this cover art apply to what I've read so far? Uhh, you bet it does Ang! The classic fall trees depicted on the cover of A Walk to Remember show the warmth and southern hospitality that Landon Carter explains is surrounding him. The humid days in North Carolina are torture according to Landon, but at the same time, without the heat it wouldn't be as beautiful. <3

Total Time: 2.5 Hours

My Goals! :)

My goal for this english project is to get an A! I intend to read as much as I can in my free time, or every other night, before I go to bed. The types of books I will probably read the most, are love stories or mysteries with a ton of suspence. I will win.
