Finally!!!!!!!

    Thank you all for being so patient! I found the book, it ended up in the choir room. (I am so lucky my choir teacher didn't hold it for ransom! He yells at me all the time for reading in his class...) SOOOOOOOOO...... Now the moment you all have been waiting for! (or at least I hope you have been waiting for!) Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams! OK, if you are my english teacher don't worry I am going to do the assignment but first I would love to review it so don't freak out please! (If you want you can skip to the end) BUT for the rest of you I would love you to read this whole thing. That is if you have time......... if not just come back later. (OR go back in time to this exact moment. The moment this was posted and read it..... just a suggestion) but now ON WARD TO THE REVIEW!!!!!!!! oh, and bear with me there are four parts to my copy and a short story. ( I am going to try my hardest not to ruin the "books") Also a Guide to the book so please bear with me.....

                                   The Guide to  the Guide

    This is just about how this was all thought up, how it started, and a couple of other things. I thought it was really unimportant but it did have some neat facts. Like did you know that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was supposed to be a radio segment? OR that it originated in England. ( OK I am very sure you knew that one......)

                                Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

      This part starts with our dear friend Arthur Dent and his daily routine. It is suddenly messed up when he learns that his house is going to be demolished to make a bypass. Eventually after some arguing Arthur's friend Ford Prefect ( his name was slightly altered when it was translated....) convinces the person running the bulldozers to not do any thing while they go out for drinks. ( I was rather amused by now and I didn't know things could get any better! But they did...) While out for drinks at the local pub Ford tells Arthur that he is an alien and earth is about to be destroyed in 4 minutes to make a space "bypass". ( Pretty ironic because Arthur's house was being destroyed that very moment for a bypass.) Well after some drinks, returning to Arthur's now demolished house and Hitching a ride on a space ship, some babble fish, We arrive at some really bad poetry and an interesting way to get out of it. ( I will leave that for you to find out...)  Then some planet hopping, meeting Trillion, Zaphod, and Marvin, and some other really improbable things, lots of action, facts, etc. We arrive at a point to where I must stop. I mustn't ruin the book! I may have said to much already!
                                  Restaurant at the End of the Universe

       After the first part our "great" heroes are hungry and ask where the nearest restaurant was and end up being transported to the future ( I wasn't sure if it was near or distant.) where they end up at The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. Which it literally is at the end of the universe, that is the destruction of it. There was tons of drinking, lots of eating, a quick escape, and finding Marvin! After all this they all kind of have some odd adventures and all end up in random places. there's was still lots of drinking, we get an taste of what the Earth was first like, and learn some pretty useless things. Again I may have said to much and ruined the whole book! ( well this part of it) There is still lots of time to read more of the stuff I left out. (if this is the end of time.... just go back in time like I suggested earlier but this time read the book too. You should have plenty of time, depending on how close the end of the world is to the date this was posted....)

                                  Life, the Universe and Everything
 
       We pick up our one of our "heroes"right where they where left. The beginning of Earth! After a couple of years of being left to him self this friend Ford comes back, well after an incident with a alien and some rather rude comments.... then they go couch chasing and have some fun with cricket. Get attacked by robots, hitchhike on another ship and learn of the origins of cricket. More drinking ( there is always time for drinks in this book! Even at the end of the universe!), meeting up with Trillion, learn about Zaphods fate (a bit) and try to stop the people of Krikket ( pronounced Cricket, of which the game cricket came from but that is a story for another time.) from destroying the earth. As to not ruin this completely or more than I have, I must stop this part here. If you where more interesting on the origins of cricket ( some thing I think I could have done with out) you can read this part of the book. I suggest you get a copy from some one else because i rather like my copy and like to not lose it again....

                                    So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

         just for the record, I was rather disappointed at this part! I thought it could have been ten billion time better. Well to some it up in less then ten sentences... Arthur falls in love after returning to earth, they date for a bit, learn that the dolphins where looking after the humans, meet an slightly insane person ( then again who in this book isn't!), and go on a little vacation to see gods final message after meeting up with Ford. Sorry for those hoping for more drinking, surprise there was next to none! I was quite shocked at that but i got over it.

                                      Young Zaphod Plays it Safe

       I really don't have much of a clue what this part was about! It is a short story some point in time about Zaphod, the space version of the Titanic, and some really dangerous stuff. Spoiler the space titanic ended the same way the Earth titanic did! I was really depressed with this one too!


   OK, over all i liked 3 out of 6 parts of my book. I guess that half is good..... so in conclusion i rate them in order from first to last. ( order reviewed) 3/5 stars, it had some interesting things but i really just wanted to start the book. ( I know I could have skipped it but where's the fun in that!). 5/5 stars, i really enjoyed this, it taught me things i will never use and had some really good jokes. 5/5 stars,for the same reason as the last one. 5/5 stars, again same as the last two. 2/5 stars, it had some good parts up it didn't make up for the fact that it basically sucked. (in my opinion) and last but not least 1/5 stars, I couldn't follow it, i was missing many important facts, and just didn't see the point. For those who have seen the movie, you can say that it had almost a completely different story plot but don't ruin it for those who haven't seen it. BUT the most important thing is to always know where your towel is!

   I bet that you (my english teacher) thought i forgot my assignment completely! well i didn't, i just wanted to have some fun before doing my real work. So, to please my english teacher here are all the answers to his questions. ( If the link doesn't work I am so sorry I will try to fix it)

    There is really no "main" character, there is a bunch but if I had to pick one it would have to be Arthur Dent. As to what motivates him... the need to survive, the thought of home, and some other completely random events that just so happen to lead their way to danger. Other than that I guess that it would have to be the Guide telling how things go what not to do, and the best place to get drinks. Also a ton of peer pressure you could say.

    Well you could say that Arthur can be heroic some times. He has saved the universe a couple of times and saved his friends too. As an example ( IF you are reading this and don't want to ruin your reading experience of this book I propose you stop because A.) this isn't for you it's for my english teacher and B.) You should have stopped 2 paragraphs ago when I said that this was for my english teacher.) Arthur save the crew of the heart of gold from smashing into a planet by pressing a small button. He really didn't spare the life of the sperm whale that the button produced or the potted flowers. ( one of the best parts thought was the sperm whale and the flowers idea of falling.) Other than that it is REALLY hard to find a good example that didn't completely tie to some thing that need a complete back story. Mainly because most of the time it was just goofing around, getting shot at, or drinking,or some other random reason. So that was the best example I could give.

    This was the hardest part, finding the perfect song. I mean perfect! I kind of failed but I found some thing that could work because, well it is just kind of bizarre like the book can be at times. the song is "Don't stop (color the walls)" by Foster the People. this wasn't what I was looking for at first but this is all I could come up with because of the deadline I set for my self that I accidentally went over. ( the reason for the post before this one.) At first I checked out the Cd for the movie and couldn't find the perfect one and after a day of two i kind of "gave" up and this came to me. SO why it fits the text, WELL ( like I said before.) this song is bizarre and so is the book. I can't just give one reason there way to MANY! I just hope this was a good enough reason.

  well here is the link-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlAgHt92lqE
  ( If this doesn't work tell me and I will try to fix it. I don't usually work with YouTube so I hope this goes right.)

Well to all of you who skipped to the end. Congrats you missed all the good parts! If you read the whole thing. Every thing word for word, well congrats, you get the satisfaction of being able to read! if you read every thing but the stuff for my english  class, Thanks for listening earlier when i said you didn't have to read it. other than that Thanks for reading and be read for my next book. well it is To BE Announced but for now just sit there and wonder about life, the universe, and every thing.... AND "DON'T PANIC"
