Delirium ♡

Delirium

by Lauren Oliver

     For the book report I am reading a novel called Delirium. It is about a girl named Lena (short for Magdalena) who lives in a community where love is forbidden, and they refer to love as a disease called delirium. Lena had always stayed far away from boys and was very careful about what she did, as she was afraid of getting the disease, until she caught it. She fell in love with a boy named Alex about a month before she would receive her procedure (which would cure her and would prevent the delirium). After avoiding him for a while, Lena grew attracted to Alex, and they soon shared lots of happy memories together, as well as frightening ones. Towards the end of the book, Lena and Alex try to run away from the community, being followed by cops in cars and helicopters. In the end, Lena crosses the border and escapes the community, while Alex stays behind, sacrificing himself for Lena.

     This book takes place in the United States. A certain year is not mentioned, but I know that it happens in the future.

The Ender's Game (Setting)

For Q3 book report, I am reading The Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
I chose this book because it is well known as a "bible" of science fiction.

The Ender's Game
by Orson Scott Card
(I don't have to book right now so I don't know the page numbers, but I've read about 5/6 of the book)

This story takes place in earth then it changes to the space. It is in the future, after they have fought the buggers and Ender is being prepared for another space war.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox

The Adoration of Jenna Fox

The setting of my book is in the house of Jenna Fox, in the book she forgets about her past so she has to watch some videos to try to remember the things she used to do before she was at the hospital. Because Im just at the beginning of the book the author didn't really describe everything. Basically she is trying to realize what she did before she went to the hospital, and she is trying to remember some words. Later she starts reading dictionaries, and watching movies from when she was small until the day that she was in a coma. Her parents are caring about her and they moved to another house away from the city so she can feel relaxed, but she thinks that there are more reasons then just that one. 

Sorry for not answering completely the question, but Im just at the beginning of the book where they are trying to show how hard it is for her and how she is trying to remember some things. 

Sorry for being 10 minutes late. 

Gathering Blue #1

The book I am reading this quarter is the second book from "The Giver Quartet" written by Lois Lowry. This book contains 241 pages and I read 23/241 pages (all together) this week.

 I didn't read a lot this week but the first two chapters introduced a lot of characters and a couple of conflicts. 

The book starts of with the main character, a girl named Kira, a girl with a twisted leg and her mother died just four days ago. At first, I was very confused because this book is supposed to be the second book of The Giver and it had nothing to do with The Giver at all. Kira lives in a village, (the name of the village and the "time" was not mentioned) where I personally think that people don't really care for each other. Just by reading two chapters, I can conclude that there is a very HUGE difference with the community that Kira lives in and where Jonas lives in. I already know that this is a science fiction because it is a dystopian book, just like The Giver. I can't really give examples yet because I am not that far in the book yet.

The novel I am reading is Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K Rowling. One of the settings is in a house in a living room and Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry '' When Dudley had been put to bed he went into the living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news'' .  When Harry's parents died three professors from Hogwarts left Harry to Muggles. Muggles are people who are not wizards. They didn't mention the time.

Johannes Cabal the Necromancer Post #1

This is the first blog post of the quater and I have finished a 337 page book called Johannes Cabal the Necromancer by Jonathan L. Howard.

The setting is a traveling carnival called The Cabal Brother's Traveling Carnival. It is a old rusty train at first but Mr. Bones and his crew make it look like it just came out of the factory. The carnival train stops at 20 stations.

The author describes some scientific principles but science it is a fantasy book they aren't described to well. One of the scientific principles is farther than light travel. Another one is flying.

Horst is Johannes brother and he is a vampire. He can move faster than the eye can see.

"Start being very careful now," he said urgently and blurred into the night. (Howard 226)

The train flow away from there last destination on midnight.

Leonine even had the impression, just before it vanished from sight, that it had lifted from the ground altogether and was travelling into the midnight sky like a great luminous eel from the ocean depth. (Howard 306)

I think the book was written more in a past setting so there are no future thing in it.
