update........
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have been so busy with homework, volunteer work, and watching Doctor Who! Ya, some one messed up our Netflix so we have a free month of streaming. I thought I'd try my hardest to watch as much of it as I can. I just finished season 2 but that isn't very important. I have been reading, but my time is very limited and I just can't get through what I want to read. (I should be doing my ridiculous amount of homework but I thought I would take my break and do a little update.) Right now I am trying to get through Mister Monday by Garth Nix. I also have been trying to read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for a book club I have joined. I normally don't join those kinds of things but I thought I would try it out. Turns out it was a good idea because all the girls there have similar reading interests to me. The only down side is in my copy of Frankenstein there is a bunch of extra stuff that is cool to know but really annoying to sort through. So in truth I haven't finished the book because I can't tell where it starts! That's OK though, I tried and that is all that matters. I wanted to post for Halloween but well I got really busy and wanted to hand candy out to all the cute little kids! Truly they were cute! I also couldn't think of a good mis-adventure for you guys. I haven't really had any lately, I have been so busy that doing anything out side of homework and volunteering, isn't possible. I just wanted you guys to know that I am still around and trying to read books to review. I must get going though.... got tons of homework to get done and lots of books that need to be read. So much to do so little time. Well, Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn

Myth? Bring it on!
Hey guys! For English I was told to write a myth. The myth had to explain something in nature. So like normal everyone takes my ideas but I found the ultimate card. And that card would end up being my myth which I am going to share with you all. (Please don't copy it or steal it or what ever the term is now days. I worked really hard to get this done and wouldn't like it if I learned it was being copied and used for other projects.) So enjoy! (It makes a really good children's story)
The
Origin of Forests
One day
after hours of hunting on the plains and earning nothing, Wolf asked her friend
Bear a simple question. “Bear, why is there no place for us? The buffalo have
the plains, the fish have the rivers, and the birds have the sky! But there is
nothing left for us!” Bear didn’t know how to answer Wolf’s question. So bear
told her to go ask his friend Moose. “Great idea Bear! Thanks!” With that Wolf
took off to find Bear’s friend Moose. When Wolf found Moose she asked him the
same question. Moose told her, “This is a question that I do not have an answer
for. Even I wonder too what it would be like to have a home like the birds.”
Moose joined Wolf and thought that his cousin Elk would have the answer. So
Moose and Wolf set off to find Elk. When they found Elk, Moose asked her Wolf’s
question. Elk sat down and thought about the question. “Moose… Wolf… Have you
asked Owl yet? She is sure to know.” Elk then joined Moose and Wolf on their
search for the answer to Wolf’s question. When the group got to Owl’s place Wolf
asked, “Wise Owl, Why is there no place for us? The Buffalo roam the plains,
fish have the rivers, and the birds have the sky… But that leaves nothing for
us!” Owl thought and thought and thought some more. “Wolf, you ask a good question… But I do not
know the answer.” Wolf started to cry and Moose got very mad at Owl. “Owl, how
could you not know the answer!?!? You are the wisest! You are supposed to
know!” Moose and Owl argued for hours while Elk comforted Wolf. In morning when
the sun rose a beautiful yellow butterfly flew up to them. The butterfly told
them, “Mother Beetle would like to see you.” None of the questioned the
butterfly they only followed. On the way to Mother Beetle’s they picked up
Bear. They also ran into Rabbit and Rabbit asked, “Hey guys! Where are you
going? Is it exciting? Is it dangerous? Or scary? Or fun?” Wolf told Rabbit
that they were going to see Mother Beetle. Rabbit got excited and followed them
to see Mother Beetle. After hours of
traveling they finally to Mother Beetle’s. Mother Beetle welcomed them and
asked them what their question was. Wolf answered Mother, “Our question is why there
is no place for us? Buffalo have the plains, fish have the rivers, and the
birds have the sky.” Mother Beetle look puzzled at the question. She thought
about it. “Wolf you have given me an idea… I will make a place for you and your
friends. It will have lots of trees and we will call it a forest. You and all
of your friends can live there.” All the animals cheered about their new home and
thanked Mother Beetle for it. They all
left and went to their new home in the forest. Bear found beautiful cave to
live in, while Moose and Elk found a clearing with lots of yummy green grass.
Owl found a big tree and moved in with out a second thought. Rabbit found a
nice green bush that grew tasty red berries and dug a hole underneath it. While
Wolf found a good looking cave next to a calm stream that had fish swimming
happily through it. All the animals where happy in their new homes and lived in
the forest peacefully forever.
Favourite Book Character?
Along with many other things I heard the other day among them where.. "What is your favourite book character?". It took some thought and a very long list, that ended with me deciding that I don't have just one favourite book character. Another thing I heard made me kind of extremely sad, some one had said some thing about never reading books or hating them. Of which was really said escapes my memory. I really can't see why some one wouldn't ever want to not read a book! But well That isn't what is important right now. Or why I even got on today! I kind of got off the main topic which was Favourite characters! As I mentioned before I have way to many to pick just one. So I thought I would do Highlights! This week/month/time ( I don't know how often I can do this.) I am going to highlight some characters that right now I rather like the most right now.
Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Jace- I don't have a reason why I like him. I just think that he is a awesome character, I wonder if his character is going to be good in the movie.....
Magnus Bane- Again I don't have a reason why I like him. Except that it's Magnus Bane! how could you not like him?
Alec- There are just some one liners that just make the whole chapter worth it. That is really the only reason I like him.
Infernal devices by Cassandra Clare
Will- Like Jace I don't know why I like him. It might be that right off the bat he was just a really funny character to me. The way he acted and some of the things he said made me in some way adore him.
Jem- He is here mostly because I am so glad some one added in a violinist! I love my violin and reading about some one who loves theirs too, they instantly become a favorite!
Tessa- I like her better than Clary. She isn't helpless and she as a really fun attitude. (Or I think it as a fun one...)
That is it for now... but I promise that I will try and keep up with this. I may go by series but then again I am really unsure as to where this can and will be going. I would love to hear what your guys favorite characters are! They could be from books or T.V. shows or even Movies! Well I need to get going, lots of just annoying homework to get done. Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn
