I finished reading And Then There Were None. It was a really interesting story. I didn't expect the last survivor to actually commit suicide. It folded out just like the poem 10 little Indians. They all died in the end. I thought about the book and realized that this story would never happen in real life. It's impossible. I can't believe this would actually happen. This is the poem.
Ten Little Indians
Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon;
One said he’d stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Indian boys going in for law,
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

I started reading a new book. I am know reading And Then There Were None by Agitha Christi. It is very mysterious. I have no idea why they were sent to that island. It says that they all did something bad but who knew what they did to send them there? I have a lot of questions about the book.
Why are they being punished?
Do they all have something to do with eachother?
Were their wrong doings influenced by any of the other characters?
If you know any of these answers put them in the comment section.

I don't know the protagonist's name in Go Ask Alice, because the diary is anonymous. What I do know is that at the beginning of the book she is fifteen years old and just starting high school. She dresses like an innocent freshman. When she started taking drugs, she changed her hair to look like a hippie's. Her attitude also changed. She used to be respectful, but then became disrespectful. I also know that she dies in the end as a junior of a drug overdose. However, I do not know if she died from an intended overdose or accidental, or someone planted the drugs where she would find them. Personally, I think that someone secretly put the drugs in her food to get even with her. I also think that she is a very strong person because she learned from her mistakes and got through things that most people will not be able to endure. She learned to appreciate her family more and how to choose better friends. P.S. I finished the book.

I am really enjoying the book go ask Alice. You could tell her behavior was changing through reading her journal. I am a little bit past page one hundred and im really into the book. In the book at first she was such a nice girl. Since she syarted doing drugs she started cursing and her behavior changed completely. This is turning out to be a great book and im happy i chose it.

I just finished reading the book small steps during english class. It was a really good book. I enjoyed this book. This blog is supposed to be on symbolism. One symbol in the book could be the letter Kaira Deleon sent to Armit. It could represent her love for him and how she misses him. Even though the story doesn't mention much about the letter it still is an important step in Armpit's and Kaira's relationship. Another symbol in the story is the expensive sweatshirt Kaira bought for Armit. It represents that Kaira doesn't care about the cost as long as she likes something. It also shows that Kaira knows nothing about how to spend money. She just carges everything to the tour and doesn't know how it is spent. Symbols are very important in shaping a novel. They nake you think about what they represent. When I think of symbolism I think of the movie fom the book "Fiddler on the Roof". The title is also a symbol to the story.

I started a new book. It's not on the list but Ms. Faughey approved it. It is the continueation of "Holes" from another character's point of view. This story is about Armpit. Armpit was the kid who was overweight. He burned of all excess fat at camp Greenlake though. Now he has a job and a new personality. He is a hard worker and can control his temper. I am up to page 126. Armpit, now known as Theodore, met a famous singer because of a fake ticket at her concert. They became friends because the police tried arresting Armpit because he was black. The mayor saved him though. Kaira felt sorry for him and the little girl with cerebral parlsy who he was escorting and they all became friends.
