Summer Reading

Screen Shot 2016-07-10 at 12.04.24 AMA current theme found in this book is how grown ups make no sense. Also the setting in this book changed a lot. The main character kept moving from planet to planet to find more friends and make new discoveries. A conflict the little prince faced through out the book was understanding adults logic. Another conflict he faced was making friends on earth and adjusting to the way other people saw life. Over all I really liked this book because the plot kept moving and the story never got boring. The book was really short and I definitely would read another book similar to this one.

Hawaii

I went to Hawaii!

In Hawaii I learned how to surf, play the ukulele and snorkel. We stayed in Screen Shot 2015-08-28 at 9.42.58 AMa little house right out side the beach where we could go surfing and swimming every day. Our house was right next to puff the magic dragon  I went on a six mile hike to a beach and then to a freezing cold water fall where we swam. I went to Lumahi beach and jumped faff a eight foot cliff into the worm ocean. I didn’t want to go to Hawaii but know i can see why we went. I would be happy to go there again.

Summer Reading

To start off the summer I read the first book in the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld.

This was a thrilling book about a girl named Tally.

She lives in a futuristic city where you get a special surgery when youScreen Shot 2015-08-04 at 9.30.38 PM turn sixteen. The surgery is called “turning pretty.” In this city, if you are younger than twelve you are considered a little. From then on, until you are sixteen you are an ugly. When you reach sixteen you get the thrill of getting the pretty surgery, which includes replacing your skin and getting a new brain, earning a beautiful body, and smooth curves. Tally then realizes that this is not all what it’s cut out to be. On the day of her surgery when she is forced to tell the council everything she knows about a place called “The Smoke,” the council says she has to go to this place in order to get the surgery. When she gets there, she realizes that this society is made up of people who are against the surgery and show Tally what life as an ugly can be like. She meets her true love there, a boy named David. She tries to rescue everyone in this town, but the council gets there first. In the end, the result of these rebels was mostly positive.
