IRA: PEAK

So short post this week, I couldn't find too much time to continue reading this book but this is what I have:
So Peak is in the courtroom now and he is all dressed up getting ready to be eaten alive when who does he see, his dad next to his mom, he hasn't seen her in 7 years.  This gets him a bit happy since his dad was across the world climbing mountains.  Shocker his dad offered to have Peak live with him in Thailand so the sentance would disappear, since the story was blown way out of proportion since the kid died.  The judge finally decides that he will be on probation till 18 and a 150,000 dollar fine, will be refunded when he turns 18 and probation is over.
I love this book so far, it is writen from a kids prospective so you have the hints of comedy in it, and it is writen by a child prodgey at writing so it is still elequently put together.

Grapes of Wrath Comparision

The movie did a great job at putting the book into movie form.  They had almost all of the major parts, but they did switch them up a bit.  It put the Government camp after the part where he got hit in the face, which is contrary to the book.  They also got rid of the entire end about cotton picking and the part about the old man in the barn, probably because that would last too long, and was very controversial.
I think that I prefered the movie because I didn't have to read lol.  The movie did a great job translating it and I got everything that I got out of the book minus that turtle.  It dropped all the intercaleragory chapters except the one about the diner, I think it was good they kept that chapter because it showed hardships, but I would of made the truck drivers more angry.  To sum up  it was a good movie, and a decent book, very boring though.

ANONYMOS Refletion

In this play it gave us a different view on who actually wrote the plays that William Shakespeare is known for writing.  I'm not really sure which one to believe though.  On the one hand I've always been told they were written by William Shakespeare.  On the other hand this movie gave a very good insight into their belief that William didn't write it.
Assuming that it is historically accurate it is very believable based on how it happened.  The Earl can't be known for writing but yet he was the son of Queen Elizabeth who loved plays, so he was born loving plays.  I think that it is plausible for this to be the true story.  However, I think that Shakespeare actually wrote the plays.  I think it is hard to tell for me because I like the backstory of how it happened, but on the story that Shakespeare wrote it I have no background info to know for sure.

IRA: PEAK

I am reading a new book this week.  It's main character is Peak.  Weird name I know.  So he got in trouble with the law so far.  He got arrested for tagging buildings with a blue mountain, he always climbed the building to the top and tagging it.  This is his 6th building before he got arrested.  He is getting into big trouble since a kid tried to copy him and fell and died.  He is in prison and got an assignment from his advanced school to write a story, since he was proclaimed a writing protegy, if he does this he will pass in school.  So this book is his journal that he is keeping in prison, I think.

So far not a bad book.

IRA: The Hunger Games

Well now that they are gone.

I would like to take this blog to talk about Petta.  He plays a pivital role in the book.  He first says he is in love with her during the interviews.  He then teams up with the career tributes, they keep him alive thinking he will give them a advantage into killing katniss.  But he doesn't help them and tries to keep them he just keeps them from finding her.  He then proceeds to let her get a bow by protecting her from a tribute and taking the blow himself.  He lays in the mud for days till they announce that 2 tributes can win if from the same district.  Katniss finds him and nurses him back to health from his leg wound.  In the end they say that only one can win so they decide to commit suicide together but the capital stops them and pronounces them bouth winners.  When they get back to the capital they are forced to act like they are madly in love with each other so the capital doesn't kill them for having 2 winners.  Peeta isn't told to act and he really is madly in love with Katniss.  But she is troubled between him and Gale.  But it is still a better love story than twilight.

IRA: Hunger Games

Katniss doing work.
This time while reading I learned that the people have battle training, before the games to help hone their skills so it makes for better tv watching and to rank them for Gambleing for the high class.  The strategy was for them to try to learn all of their skills that they don't already know.  She was not supposed to go near the archer's range till the individual training so she doesn't give away her strengths.  When she gets into individual training she almost shoots the elders because they don't watch her, but she hits an apple and pins it against the wall.  So she is picked the best and givven an 11 out of 12.  Surprise, after this Peeta who got an 8 doesn't want to train with her.
I think she should of tried to go to arrows and do bad their so people think she is terrible and don't know that she is on purposely avoiding it.
amazing book, 3rd best I've ever read, behind Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson
