que es esso? esso es queso!

Our book report book is due sometime next year so I decided to plan ahead and picked out a book. The book is called ‘Superior Saturday’ and it is the sixth book in the series. The first five books are also named after days of the week.
-Mister Monday
-Lord Tuesday
-Drowned Wednesday
-Sir Thursday
-Lady Friday
-and the current Superior Saturday

I started reading these books in 6th grade at south view middle school when the first one was released. From 2003 onward there is about one released per year, the one I am reading was released only a few days ago.
The books closely follow the life of Arthur Penhaligon, an average mortal who is destined to be ‘the chosen one’ and save the universe. The plot thus far follows the hero quest mono-myth pattern very closely, the hero (Arthur) is born in supernatural circumstances, he is unwilling to accept the power at first, and is also given many amulets to aid him in his journey. The next book is the last of the series and will probably be the best. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the science-fiction genre. Next week I will actually give a plot summary, be prepared.

Wheee!!!!

We recently started reading ‘The Road’ as our class book; I really like it so far and really have gotten into the story. I have tried putting myself in the characters’ shoes and its been really fun to read. I posted an extra blog last quarter and am going to use some snippets of it to write this post.
I sometimes have deep thoughts, only occasionally, that kind of “what if…” and the resulting epiphany of knowledge. Usually I can’t remember these past 5 minutes or so, but I recently had one that stuck with me. What if there was a plague or apocalypse, and I was the only one alive. There would be no one to greet me. No one to comfort me. But at the same time, there would be nothing to hide myself from. I would never have to pretend to be someone I’m not. No reason to change to fit in. I would truly be free. Of course this is only on the emotional level, I’m sure surviving post-plague or post-apocalypse would have obvious physical tolls on me. I probably wouldn’t live for long anyways. Plus all of the other survivors might try to eat me like in ‘The Road’
