So Far, Bonechiller is about a boy named Danny who lives in Harvest Cove. Danny and his father constantly move around after his mothers death a few years ago. Harvest Cove is basically a dead town in the winter, with only its few local residents. Starting off the book, Danny is with his friends Pike, Howie and Ash. Pike is a big trouble maker and in the beginning he burns down a store. Ash and Danny decide to walk home, and when Ash leaves for her street she surprised Danny with a kiss. On the rest of his walk, something is following him. This something is huge and can move very fast. Finally, it attacks Danny and gets him into the ditch and gives him a concussion. The next day, when Danny thinks he is hallucinating, he goes back to the ditch and finds a footprint, with eight toes. He goes to school and finds out that a boy is missing and then they see him naked outside. Later on, Danny, Howie and Pike are at Ash's boxing tournament and she wins. After that, they go to a luncheon and eat all night.
Bonechiller is a really great book so far. It wasn't what I expected, but I'm not finished yet. But I'm still happy with it. :D
American History: The Modern Era Since 1865 pages 352- 356
In this section, we learn more about the effects of industrialization. We learn about the Temperance movement, with the Anti- Saloon League, and the WCTU. We also learn about women’s’ struggles, and involvement in labor unions. It says that by 1900, four states, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho were the first states to grant women the right to vote. How interesting! It also talks about socialism, and th..e peop..le in…volved in…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. What was I talking about? Oh right I was talking about the history of all of the people and everything. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahavhavhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You actually thought that I was going to talk about History the whole time? You have got to be kidding me. I would die.
In my real book, (1984), I read from pages 43- 88. It’s not much of an accomplishment, but I am getting there. Have you ever felt uncertain of yourself? Have you ever known that you were right, but still thought you were wrong? Well, that is how Winston felt in this portion of the novel. The first twenty pages of the portion start off with Winston at a cafeteria. There, he runs into his friend Syme. They talk about Syme’s job. Syme works to write a dictionary of a new language. That language is the only language that takes away word every year. Syme says that the words are designed to connote a thought to a person. That one word representing a bunch of other words will lessen the vocabulary of each individual. Then, Winston realizes that the world he lives in does not except smart people. He knew that his friend Syme would be vaporized soon, because he knew too much. I am going to skip some events because they do not seem that important right now. Later on in the story, Winston goes to a saloon. There, he sees an old man. At this point, he has a feeling that life used to be better before the revolution, but he is not sure because the government deleted all the evidence, and replaced it with different stories. So, anyway, the I am so board. Let’s make this a little more interesting. So, anyway, Winston goes into the bar to talk to the old dude. Winston buys the 80 something year old guy a beer. Guess what I learned. If you give an 80 something year old guy some bear, hell ask for a glass of wine. So when Winston goes to ask him questions about life before the revolution, all he can say is “ blah blah blah blahhahaha it was bad yeah I want more beer, you smell bad blah blah blah blah blah. He didn’t actually say that, but Winston did not get any answers from the guy. That is where I left off.
I liked this chapter in history. It was funny, entertaining and boring. The book 1984, however is much more interesting. I think this portion of the book picked up the pace. it is now more interesting to read. I think that Winston is going to end up trying to rebel against this totalitarian, brainwashing, idiotic, scumbaggy, blowing things uppy, retarted and stupiddy government.
Thank you for reading my blog. It’s been a pleasure writing for you.
