English news thing........

   Sorry for those who are waiting for my latest review, I haven't finished my next book and  I have to do an english assignment really quickly. I hope you find it interesting! It is my most favorite magazine, I got it from my Amma who I hope to visit soon.

                                                   Archaeology (March/April 2009)
   In this magazine there are about 13 articles. They range from uncovering the dead to looting problems. This issue mostly focuses on archaeological digs and the pasts of them. So if you want to know more about they archaeological digs that are threaten by global warming, just turn to page 32. IF you want to learn about a priestess of Amun turn to page 36. Or if you want to learn about the grave of the Middle east's oldest witch, turn to page 30. This has some thing for just about every one and is fairly simple to understand. The audience for Archaeology is probably for people between 18 and possibly 80. Or for any one interested in our past history. The reason I think this is because most people who are 18 and older love to know about some part of our past. This magazine covers a little bit of every thing. I also think that it is the same for people who love history, there is always some thing for some one.

  A Mummy's Life by Eti Bonn-Muller- This is one of the articles I mentioned before.(only cause it might just be my favorite!) In this article the describe the life of an Egyptian priestess of Amun. Her name was Meresamun, and she worked at the temple of Karnak in Thebes. They talk about the "mummy", what things she might have had, and her life. Also the recreate her face, (shown in the link below.) to what it could have been at that time.

 Grave of the Middle East's Oldest Witch by Mati Milstein- In this article they cover the dig in Hilazon Tachtit (northern Israel).  They go over the first couple digs there and what was found. They also try to figure out why she had such a elaborate tomb when the Natufians didn't even do it for any of their other dead.

  Climate Change: Sites in Peril by Andres Curry- In this article they tell us about the effects of global warming on dig sites. They cover the Scythian tombs, rainstorms in Peru, The desertification of the Sudan, Retreating Swiss Glaciers, erosion in the Channel Islands, and melting sea ice in Greenland. Each is it's own "mini" article and talks about what is happening in that area.

  As mentioned before the people at Archaeology recreated Meresamun, an Egyptian priestess. Well they recreated her face. I think that it some what helps me understand what the article is talking about. The reason is that Egyptian priestess where picked for their beauty, so for them to recreate her face it give me a better understanding on how her looks got her farther in life. So I think that by seeing her face it helps people understand what the article says about her life.

Unwrapping Priestess of Amun

  If the link doesn't work can you tell me so I can fix it. Other than that I just want to say that this is probably one of my most favorite magazines. It ranks pretty high up with Quizfest and Astrogirl. (The only other magazines I will read.) It covers alot of the things I love. Like Egyptian life, Roman life, Archaeological digs, and the list goes on. It was kind of nice to know more about the life of the priestess of Egypt and the Romans oil trades. I hope that you all enjoyed this, I really must get going. Talk To You All Later!-Kaitlynn

Two For One!

       Hello, yet again. I am again so sorry that my last review was posted late, and I am sorry for posting this one late also. I have had this book done since last week Wednesday but haven't had time to post because of homework and a ton of people quiting crew for our play. I have also been brainstorming in what little free time I have and have come up with some ideas for my blog. But you all are going to have to wait to see them. I also have to at some point in time tell my family what I would like for my birthday, but I have until May 29th to tell them. I think it may be important to tell you guys that my birthday is May 30th. I am going to try to find a good mis-adventure for my birthday. I am so glad you guys have been enjoying them. I know you guys have been waiting for a song or two from my latest CD find, I just haven't had time to find any. Sorry again this is out way later than wanted I have decided that I will give you guys a two for one deal because I have finished another book. Well before I promise more than I can handle, on to the reviews!

                                       Article 5 by Kristen Simmons
     Our story opens with Ember (our main character) and her friends, in our some what near future. A future where every thing is controlled by the "government" and their Moral Statutes (see below). Ember and her mother break every one of the articles of the moral statutes. They have so far been living under the radar in their house full of contraband until one day it all changes. The moral statutes are updated and they come after Ember. Soldiers come to her home with an unlikely person in their mist. Chase her old friend, who sits idly and watches her go to a reformatory.  Will Ember ever get out? Action, adventure, high stakes, and a bit of a love story are in store for this high stakes story.

I rate this book 5/5. Even though I wasn't planning on reading this, I was kind of glad I did. I am kind of glad that I found out that there is a second book!

 

 

                                      London Eye  by Tim Lebbon

    Our story opens in a city just out side of what was London. What is left of London now is a wild city full of people with incredible powers. Two years before the time of the story London was hit by a huge chemical. Most people died, the people who lived had strange powers and are  called  irregulars. Jack and his friends head into London to find answers, people who were lost, and to see for them selves what it is like. High stakes adventures, love, danger, and pure curiosity hang around every corner. Who will make it out alive?

 

    I rate this a 3.5/5. I thought it was good near the end but I got really confused with the dialogue some times, and the first half of the book I just found really boring. I hope the second one comes out soon. I have feeling that the next one may be a bit better.

 

  Well guys hope you enjoyed my reviews! I have to go get more paint off of my hands and try to find my calculator! I can't find it any where, well I have had it since I was in 4th grade so I guess I shouldn't be to sad. Half of the buttons don't work right any way, the screen was slightly broken, and the rest of the buttons are colored in a light pink. (Well the reason it is a light pink is because I lent it out for some one and that's how I got it back.) Well I really need to go, Talk To You All Later! - Kaitlynn



 

Clockwork.......

      I  finished Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. But we can get to that later, it is April! I hope to get close to the 144 views that I got last month.  Or at least half, which would be 72 views. Oh, today I went to a job fair. Turns out by doing this blog I am over half way there to being a web site designer. But I also learned how to edit pictures, use a sound board, and many other things. My old friends would be so proud of me, I have really bad stage fright, it keeps me from doing lots of things. I talked to at least 4 new people today, I will never see them again but I feel proud. Moving on before I bore you all. My next book I am reading is  called Article 5 by Kristen Simmons. I couldn't find any thing to read at our library and none of my book  I have on hold are coming in. I found this book and thought it sounded good. You guys are going to have to wait to hear about it thought because I am not done with it yet. Well on to my review.


                             Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

     We start off right where we left off in Clockwork Prince. Tessa and Jem are going to get married, Will and his sister are arguing constantly, and many other things. If you remember ( if you read the last book...) the Lightwoods father has demon pox, which makes a huge splash in the story with in the first few chapters. As we go thought the book we go on an adventure, find love ( or keep up with it...), lose who is important, get important people back, and learn more about the shadow world. From beginning to end this book will hold your attention and cause you to have many emotional break downs.

  I rate this book a 5/5 stars. It was a great book, I just about broke down crying in class once or twice. It is sad to see such a great book series come to an end. I am sorry the review is short, I don't want to ruin the book for all of you who have yet to read it. If you want to know more about the book I guess you could read it. I would lend it to you all but well I think that it would be a little to hard to do through the computer, plus I would be afraid of never getting it back! Not that I don't trust you guys, I just have a hard time lending out my books....
   Sorry this is out later than I wanted it to be. I had this done on Tuesday but didn't have time to post until now. I also have Article 5 done, I will try to find time later to post my review. Well I have to get going, Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn
