When we were given the choice between a fantasy novel or a sci-fi novel I considered my previous book recommendations and concluded when the name "Eragon" came to mind. "Eragon" is a book in the inheritance cycle series made by Christopher Paolini. I have already finished the book (730 of 730 pages) as it was so compelling I wasted away hours reading it. Continuing on, "Eragon" takes place in the mystical land of "Alageasia". The time period however is undefined though the time period has been considered the dark ages as most of "Alageasia" is ruled by a tyrant. But where in "Alageasia" does the book take place. Well the book starts inside a Village named "Carvahall" which is rather small. However this small village is situated inside of a large valley known as "Palancar Valley". After a brief period of time the main character takes of and then goes to two larger trading cities known as "Dras Leona" and "Teirm". From here the main character crosses the "Hadarac Desert" and reachs the dwarven kingdom of "Farhen Dur". A quote proving the setting is "Chaos seems to rule Alageasia".Sunday, January 26, 2014

The Alchemist
Blog post #1, I am currently reading "The Alchemist" By: Paulo Coelho, I have read all 94/94 pages.
The setting in my book is constantly changing because the kid is traveling, he is a shepherd, and he is selling their wool to people that he meets in his journeys. The story takes place in the past, the date is not specified. I think that the author isn't specific enough about the scientific principles as much as he could but he did a decent job. There are a couple of people that read minds and a couple that read palms. some items that can be found in the 21st century are book, wine, knife, bread and sheep, and some things that could be found in the past are mind readers.
"'I didn't come to here to have you read my palm"' ( Paulo Coelho, pg:6)

Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
I am reading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S.Lewis and i read 19/189
The story starts in England but mostly happens in Narnia. It happens in the second world war but in Narnia it happens in the middle ages. Narnia is a fantasy book, I don't think the author wrote any scientific stuff but you never know.

Frankenstein #1
Tittle: Frankenstein w/ SAT vocabulary words+definitions
Author: Mary Shelley
Pages: 177/429
"Frankenstein" switches locations constantly. The story starts on a bout that is sailing along the northern ice. Later on in the story Victor Frankenstein (the protagonist) goes to college in Ganeva, then after a sudden turn of events finds himself back home in Ganeva, afterwards traveling to the Alps (throughout the rest of the story the locations keep changing). The exact time is not specified, though it happens in around the eighteenth century.
Quote:
" It was nearly noon when i arrived at the top of the scent. For some time I sat upon the rock that overlooks the sea of ice. A mist covered both that and the surrounding mountains. Presently, a breeze dissipated the cloud, and i descended upon the glacier. The surface is very uneven, rising like the waves of a troubled sea, descending low, and interspersed by rifts that sink deep. The field of ice is almost a league in width, but i spent two hours crossing it. The opposite mountain is a bare perpendicular rock. From the side where I now stood Montavernt was exactly opposite, at the distance of a league; and above it rose Mount Blanc, in awful majesty. I remained in a recess of the rock, gazing on this wonderful and stupendous scene.

The book im reading is called Enders game and it's science fiction. Its about a boy that gets in a big fight at school and always fights with his brother. The people from battle school see the tests that he took to get into battle school. They come to his house and the first thing they talk to him about is the fight and why he did it.

He would have to leave his family though not that he loved them all only his sister Valentie and it means that he would have to leave her. His decision was soon final he wanted to go to battle school. The setting of my novel is first in Enders community in North Carolina then in battle school for training for the army and being a soldier. This book takes place in the future. The quote that indicates what the setting is: "War games. All the boys are organized into armies. Day after day, in zero gravity, there are mock battles. Nobody gets hurt, but wining and losing matter. Everyone starts as a common soldier, takes orders."(pg. 17)

By Lish McBride
Pages 342
Read 342/342
The Book that I am reading for my book report is called Hold me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride. My Book takes place in modern day Seattle. A Quote from the book to prove it is "Music is a big thing in Seattle. We don't get heavy rain but we get it frequently, and there are some springs when you don't see dry skies in weeks." (Lish McBride 1797) The main character said that they were in Seattle and that it rained a lot which is a characteristic of Seattle.

Gathering Blue
Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry
This week I have read 106/215 pages. I think the story happens in the future/ past because some of it happens before her parents died. Kira is a girl who has a twisted leg and no parents and which I have said before. She is trying to find shelter because their house is ruined. Also she has to gather some things for the council of Guardians and they show her to her room in the quarters. Kira has a friend called Matt and his dog branch and they go to the forest. Matt and Kira get there a lady called Annabella teaches Kira how to dye all the colors except for blue. She has to come everyday and learn all of this stuff. She and Thomas have to help Matt because he is trying to hunt and he is too young to do it.
I really like the book and I hope you all enjoyed it too!
