I'm currently reading Emma a book by Jane Austen. In the book Emma is the fun witty character who is crazy and outgoing. She loves to help others and isn't afraid to express herself. She is a matchmaker and just a happy person in general.
In the book Emma helps many people find love. She feels that everyone needs a soulmate and deserves to be happy. I totally agree with her, she thinks love makes everything better and it's true. It can change a person and make them feel happier and just live a happy life in general. She also is a very family oriented person. She always dines with her father and just loves to spend time with the people around her. I really love that Jane Austen gave her these traits because it just makes the book more exciting and makes the reader actually want to keep reading the book.
Emma is very different from many people I know. I wish I could be like her I would never be able to be so outgoing like her I would be rather shy and not be able to talk and speak my mind. The only place I could be compared to Emma would be in the family part I'm very close to my family just like Emma. Something else that me and Emma don't have in common is the love match maker thing I don't think anyone really is. But Emma is and that's what makes her so fun and you want to keep reading about her.
I can't wait to continue reading the book. So far I really like it and Kane Austen has done a great job in describing Emma. The book is amazing and I feel like anyone would enjoy it I certainly am.

Appreciation for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
I finished reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. At the end Edmund learned a lesson and they defected the witch. I really enjoyed the book and recommend that everyone read it because it's certainly an entertaining book.
I really enjoyed the book I thought it was well written and anyone can read it. I enjoyed how at the end Edmund learned a lesson, he learned to care for other people and how to not fall for what people promise him and not to get fooled by the materialistic things in life. Everyone came together in the end as a family and defeated the witch, that's something I really liked. I also enjoyed all the detail the book had when describing the characters. It made me get a better understanding of the people in the book and what they looked like. I also liked the ending, the way the way the author made them go back through the wardrobe and when they get out of Narnia they have only been gone for a couple of minutes when in Narnia it was years. I also loved that she gave us a glimpse of what they did in Narnia and didn't just end it when they won the battle. Also at the end when there was that little part of them talking to the professor and how he told them that they would find themselves in Narnia when they least expect it, it almost made it seem like he had also visited in Narnia. These were some aspects that I enjoyed from the book.
Some things that I didn't like would be the lack of dialogue. I would have liked it better if their was more dialogue so we could get to see how the characters interacted with each other. I also didn't really like the beginning I would have liked if the author would have given me a little more background on the characters. We could have gotten to know them better and I could have understood why certain characters took the actions they took. But other than that the book was great and I really enjoyed it.
I can't wait to keep reading the rest of the books. I want to see if they ever go back to Narnia and of they do, do they go back and are they the same age as when they left or younger. I also wonder if any more evil characters appear and what happens then. Do they ever see Aslan again? The book was great and I recommend it to anyone. It's definitely a classic in my opinion.

Continuing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
In my book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, they have finally entered Narnia and they have now met Aslan who is like the king of Narnia. Edmund finally realized that the White Witch is really evil and that he should have never traits his brothers and sisters. All the character are growing and learning and I'm almost at the part where they are about to have the huge battle with the witch.
When Edmund finally realized the witch was evil he felt really bad. He noticed that she really wants nice and that he got fooled by The things she gave him and the promises she made him. The witch was just going to use him as bait to catch Lucy, Susan and Peter so that this prophecy can't be fulfilled. The prophecy states that when four humans sit at the Cair parvel the white witch's rule over Narnia ends and she doesn't want that. But her plan failed because the good animals all rescued Edmund and bring him back safe and sound. I think this made Edmund realize that there are actual nice genuine people in the world and that you shouldn't always believe what other people tell you.
I think that later in the book the white witches' rule Over Narnia will end. I think that the four children will defeat her. Hopefully they will have Aslan by their side, I said hopefully because when Peter asked him in the book he said I can't promise you anything. I wonder if it has to do with what he talked with the white witch. Did they make a deal that will make him disappear or something. I wonder if Aslan isn't by their side will they be able to defeat the witch? Will Peter be brave enough? I personally think will but you never know I will just have to wait and see.
In all the book so far has been really good, I have enjoyed it a lot and can't wait to see how it ends. I wonder if each character will gain something like bravery or confidence. Will they all learn a lesson and learn not to trust every person that offers them something. I can't wait to keep reading and see.

Edmund from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
I'm currently reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I've noticed that one of the three children doesn't really get along with the other three as well. Edmund has his own idea of what is right and fooled by the White Witch he only cares about Turkish delight and wants to be king so that he can make his brother and sisters do what he wants.
Edmund is really rotten. He is mean and a big bully especially to Lucy the littlest of them all. He also goes to Narnia but makes believe he didn't so that he can be king and so that the queen will give him more sweets. He is self fish and doesn't care for anything other than himself. I wouldn't really like to be related to him because he isn't a good brother and he doesn't care or appreciate the love his siblings give him and he doesn't appreciate that they were able to get away from the war and are now safe.
The others are very different from Edmund they are nice and caring. Lucy is very truthful and when Edmund said she was lying about seeing him in Narnia it really hurt her because she knew she wasn't lying! The oldest ones are also very non selfish they care about each other and want to protect each other. They protect Lucy from Edmund's bullying and being mean to her. I wonder of Edmund is like ghat because he jealous of Lucy being the youngest which means he doesn't get as much attention as he did before and that's what he is lacking. Or is it just that he just enjoys being mean.
At the end I think he will learn a lesson. Something will happen to him to make him realize that he was being mean and self fish and that you shouldn't believe in someone just because they give you what you want. I guess I will have to keep reading in order to find out.

Appreciation for The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
I just finished reading The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket. I really enjoyed, this book because it was very different from any other book I've ever read. It was suspenseful it had a lot of mystery and it was just a very intriguing book. I also enjoyed the book because the author added his voice to book.
What I liked the most about the book was that it was told from all the characters point of view it helps the reader understand what's going on in the mind of the character and the problems the characters had. I also like how the author add definitions of different words which allowed me to understand what a word or certain sentence meant. Another thing I also liked was that everything was very detailed you could really understand the problems the characters were in. I thought this was a really unique book because you never really see an author put himself in the actual story and actual talk to the readers through out the book and that is something really interesting and when they do that the reader understands the book way better.
There weren't really many things I would change in the book. I would have enjoyed more dialogue I felt it lacked dialogue because basically the author would write a lot about what the characters thought. If there were more dialogue we would have understood better the relationships between the characters. I would also have enjoyed the author to stretch out the climax more I felt he kind of rushed through the parts too quickly and the resolution at the end was really short an there wasn't a lot of detail. I also thought that at the beginning of the book the author should have introduced the parents of the kids so we could get a sense of how they acted and how they had raised the children.
Overall the book was great.
I can't wait to continue reading more books in the series. I defunding recommend the book it defunding was one of those books that when you pick it up you never want to put down. It was easy to understand and you got to see the perspective of everyone in the story an what they were thinking.

The Bad Beginnings: problems with characters at the beginning of the book
I recently started reading The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket. the book is about three children named Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. Their parents die in a fire and they are forced to go live with a distant relative named Count Olaf who treats them horrible and just takes them in because he wants the family fortune.
When the Baudelaire go to live with Count Olaf, they get treated horribly and are forced to do things that are not meant for children. He makes them cook, clean and forces them to live in a small room with only one bed. They have to make a be for Sunny out of curtains and Violet and Klaus have to take turns sleeping in the bed. I seriously think Count Olaf should go to jail for treating the kids so unfair. They shouldn't be forced to clean and cook for Count Olaf because they are just kids. They also shouldn't be sleeping in those unsanitary conditions. if I were them I would run away and go to an orphanage, at least there they would get treated better than why they get treated with Count Olaf.
The worst part of all is that Count Olaf is just doing it to get the money that the Baudelaire inherited. Count Olaf just cares about himself and will do anything to get it. I think that he will even get to a point where if the only way to get the money is to kill them he would. I would never do that to anyone it's a horrible thing to do. They are just kids and shouldn't have to be owing through all this stress and worry. That just shows that Count Olaf doesn't have a heart he is selfish and a meanie.
I can't wait to see what happens next. I wonder if they stay with Olaf or if they escape? What if they do escape will Olaf chase after them? I personally think they do escape but who knows anything can happen.

MockingJay Appreciation!
I just finished reading MockingJay which by the way was an incredible book. I never thought I would actually enjoy reading, but I was wrong it was really good and the author did a perfect job!
I liked a lot of things about the book. I liked how the characters were very detailed and you could easily understand them and sometimes even relate to them. I also liked how well the setting was described, I could easily picture where everything was placed and it made it better for me to make a movie in my head. The way the book was organized was also really good. You understand the problem was leading to the problem and how it was resolved. The was complete and I could understand and sometimes I felt like I was actually in the story and when you can do that you know you are reading a good written book.
Something I would have changed would have to be how a lot of the book talked about Katniss and her relationship with Gale and Peeta. I would have also liked if the book were told from different perspective it would have made the book a little more interesting. Also I would have liked to have known more about the small characters even though they were small not really big characters they were very important to the book. But I think the book over all was amazing.
I would definitely recommend this book to another person. It was a very good book because it had a lot of details and you knew exactly was happening when you were reading. It was also good because it made you think about the problems happening and it made you think about how the world would be if we were in a war and everything that happened in the book were to happen in the real world. Over all a fabulous book!
