Book review of Chosen by, p.c. cast + kristin cast

The book I read for SSR was the book Chosen by P.C Cast + Kristin Cast, this is the third series of the house of night novel's. It is about a girl named Zoey who got marked and turned into a vampire she is a fledging in the house of night, and also became the leader of the dark daughters which is a ritual they do at the house of night. At one of the dark daughters ritual Zoey's best friend Stevie Rae started to cough a lot then started coughing up blood which this happens to vampires that don't complete the change into an adult vampire. When this happens they have to go get Neferet the goddess of the house of night and she will give the person that's not completing the change some type of medicine to help them not suffer but really what it does is make them become undead and turn into a nasty creature that feeds off of humans. When Zoey found out that Stevie Rae was still alive but undead she tried to save her and get her humanity back enough so that she could be the person and best friend that she knew before. After she found Stevie Rae and talked to her she found out who made Stevie Rae that way, she found out it was Neferet. Once Neferet found out that Zoey knew she tried wiping her memory of everything she saw but because Zoey has such strong gifts from Nix she managed to use her gifts to undo what Neferet did.

The length of the book isn't bad it might look really long but once you start reading it you will really get into it so it will feel like your reading it really fast.

Poetry

I feel like poetry Friday has helped me become a better writer. I feel more confident in my writing and what I write about. The poems we do on poetry Friday always inspire me and help me write something new. I do feel like there is more I have to learn to become a better writer but I'm positive it will happen thanks to poetry Friday.

Marked

A book that I read for SSR is called Marked. The book marked is about a girl named Zoey who is just an average girl who is in high school has a popular boyfriend and many friends, but that all changed one day while she was at school and a tracker was there and marked her. She had no idea why she got chosen to be marked but there was no changing it. Once she gets home and her mother See's the mark she calls Zoey's step dad and once he got home they got in a huge argument. Then Zoey went to her room and snuck out her window and went to see her grandma redbird who she tells everything to, but once she got there she started feeling funny and passed out. While she was out of it she ended up seeing the nix the goddess and she kissed Zoey on the head and told her she was spacial and she wanted her to be her eyes and ears at the house of night. Once she woke up she was with her grandma at the house of night which is a school for vampire's, and there she meant neffert the leader of the house of night and now her mentor. This is an awesome book so who every is into vampire's should defiantly read this book and all the series to it.

Born Intolerant

I was born intolerant

There was this one time where I was watching TV and my sister was in the kitchen listening to music and it was up really loud and I couldn't hear or focus on the show I was watching so I got really angry and started yelling at her and she just turned it up louder and the next thing I know I don't realize what I'm doing anymore it's almost as if I'm another person and I black out and the next thing I know I'm picking up a ceramic and getting ready to throw it at her.

Stars

The tattoo that I want to get is of stars big and little ones and have swirls of wind in between some of the stars. I want it to start from the middle of my back and go to my lower and then go around my side. This tattoo is going to be big and cover most my back it’s going to just be a black outline with no color. The reason I want to get it this tattoo is cause it’s fun and interesting and it also seems magical.

Tears shall drown the wind

"Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,

That tears shall drown the wind."

This quote is from Macbeth it means that everyone is going to be sad if the king does get killed and all of there tears will fill the air and the wind will be their tears.

The purpose of a soliloquy is so no one else in the play can hear your most inner thoughts only the audience can.

Trying to kill the king

Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows what is going to happen but the people in the play don't know. Macbeth is plotting to kill the king, this is Dramatic Irony because we the audience already knows that Macbeth plans to kill the king but king duncan doesn't know this no one in the play does the only thing making Macbeth wait to kill him is that he is waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Millions of loved ones lost

Haiti has just experienced a horrible tragedy, an earthquake where millions of loved ones were lost. This earthquake was the most powerful to hit Haiti in century's, this all happened before 5 p.m. on Tuesday. This earthquake was so strong eastern Cuba could feel it strongly this was more than 200 miles away.

When this happened a huge plum of dust rose over the city and stayed like that for 20 minutes nothing could be seen. Hospitals, buildings, and houses were all destroyed. There is no exact amount of how many people dead or wounded but they think it's between 100 and 200,000.

The US and UK sent rescuers immediately after the quake and they have managed to save many lives. The US and international teams have rescued 122 people and the Haitians have rescued many others. Haiti was already known as one of the poorest countries and now they are looking to the rest of the world for basic survival needs.

How I will improve myself

Doing blogs is helping me with my writing. I feel more confident in my self I actually feel like i can do it. I feel like I also have improved in my spelling my writing ability. I like doing blogs because when I'm reading a book I really like I can write about and talk about what I liked the about it. With me doing this it's also getting many others interested in the book's I'm reading to and maybe getting them to read them.

My goal's for the rest of the year is to improve even more on my blogs, become a better writer, reader so I can write more blogs.
