I have read "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. This story is about a man who just lost his girlfriend or wife. As the story goes on, a raven lands on his window and he keeps saying, "Nevermore" like it was a parrot. This story was hard to understand but I got the gist of it. Overall it was sort of interesting story but hard to understand. Once I understood, I learned that the raven saying "Nevermore" means that he will always be sad or lonely.

the raven

This story is about this man who lost his wife and he was very sad that he lost his wife because he was really close to her, but then he just lost her unexpectedly. then he met this raven who he gets really close to and he thinks that the raven has something to do with his wife and when the raven said some thing he got frightened, and the bird kept on saying "never more," and the man thought that was very unusual.anyways the man wanted the raven to leave him because he felt bad and he knows that the raven is never going to bring his wife back. but the raven didn't leave him and he was surprised. So the raven stayed with him forever. and i like this book because it has allot of feeling and i put my self in the persons in the books feet and i felt very sad about it and yeah that's y i like it.

The Raven

I read the poem called "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. It's about a person who lost someone important in his life, and that was his wife. Her name was Lenore. And all of the sudden this Raven appears. It was taking place in his house. The Raven keeps reminding him of Lenore and would never get away and all he keeps saying "Nevermore". It was hard to understand the story because it was published a long time ago. The mood of the story was mostly really sad. I wouldn't recommend to other people since it was a long time ago that was written. Once I understood it, I get the mood of the story/poem.

the monkey paw

The monkey paw is about a magic paw that gives you 3 wishes. But if you wish for something that you don't need something bad happen in return for what you wish for because when it was made the old man put a curse on the paw.
Because he thought you should not mess with faith.

Let's try this again

So last year we tried to start this blog about what we are reading and it did not work out as we had planned, so we are going to try again this year. The plan is to post to the blog at least twice a month about what we are reading in class as well as independently.

The first unit we are working with this year is short stories. Right now we are working with the theme Strange Going's On reading stories with elements of horror, suspense or irony. We will also be reading other short stories from various themes throughout the unit, as well as writing short stories of our own. Throughout the month of October we will be posting about the short stories we are reading as well as our independent books that we are beginning to read for our first project this year.

We hope that this year we are better about posting to our blog and that you enjoy reading about what we are reading. :)

It was a really good book. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend to people who read the last 4 books.

8.5/10

The Summoning

The book I am reading right now is called the Summoning. This book is about a girl named Chloe Saunders. When she saw her first ghost everyone thought that she was crazy. So she was put in Lyle house. Which is a house for troubled teenagers. The book is pretty good so far.

I finished reading, "Diario de Greg, Esto es el Colmo!" It was the Spanish version of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Overall it was a very good story. Short, but sweet. I do recommend this book to fans.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth. So far it's been really good. It focuses on a whole bunch of problems. But there was only one problem that was mainly focused on.

SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ DOG DAYS!!

It was focused on the relationship of Greg and Rowley and apparently they are not friends anymore and if Greg is going to grow up and be an adult, or mature and not make the Diaries ever again. So I have not read the whole book yet. I will post another blog when I am done reading the book

Greek Mythology

Howdy, I'm here to talk about Greek Mythology. It's been really interesting to read about God's. It's like how the world was created and it's really interesting. My favorite Greek Myth is Pandora's Box. If you haven't read it yet it's cool. It just explains how evil got into the world. 5 STARS!!!!
