My Sister's Keeper

My Sister’s Keeper is a sad and life changing story. It makes you think about what can happen in the future. A thirteen year old girl named Anna goes to see a lawyer named Campbell Alexander and asks him to represent her. She is tired of her parents using her to help her sister. Her body is being used to help her sister Kate survive cancer. Her body has been in surgery many times to take things from it that her sister can use to keep her alive. This book made me cry lots and realize that you have to be grateful for who you are, and to realize that you may have problems in your life but you should be thankful that your not someone who could potentially die of cancer at such a young age.

Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies written by William Golding, is an adventurous book. A group of young boys our stranded on an island in the middle of no where after their plane had crashed.  The boys are free from all rules, they have no parental guidance, and there for foolish things start to happen. Ralph one of the main characters is voted chief of the island. He is responsible to keep everyone together and on task. There’s on thing stopping him from being chief and that’s Jack Merridew. Jack is trying to take over the title of becoming chief, because he does not like Ralph. Jack eventually takes over becoming chief and all hell breaks loose. The boys start to become savage and start splitting up. They have all lost their minds, and are not getting a lot. With no parental guidance on the island things start to go bad and even lead to some deaths. I found this book to be interesting but then some parts were boring. Overall I would recommend this book to other readers if they like adventures.

Book Trailers Journal #6

I think that book trailers are a great way for advertising books. Usually people judge a book by its cover, but if there was a book trailer for every book that wouldn’t happen anymore. Trailers are a good way of catching someone’s attention, and making them want to read the book. I would prefer watching a book trailer than reading the back of the book to find out what it’s about. Usually the summary about the book on the back of it doesn’t give you enough information, but book trailers give you lots and it leaves you wanting to read the book!  

Spring Break

During spring break I went to Honolulu in Hawaii. It was really hot and the beaches were amazing. I went snorkeling and saw turtles and dolphins. The ocean was the perfect temperature not to hot but not to cold. When I was tanning by the pool or on the beach I would usually listen to my ipod and read my book Sugar and Spice by Lauren Conrad. It was very relaxing and peaceful. I have not finished the book yet but hopefully ill get around to it!

Journal #4 e-Books

I think that E-books will become very popular but libraries will still be used. Many people do not have the money to afford e-books or e-readers; they are expensive ranging from prices 200 and higher. New technology can also be hard to use, people that are older aren’t use to the newer technology and there for would still like to use libraries. Libraries are also free, unless you lose or damage the book. A library is somewhere to go that’s quiet and that you can concentrate on work or just sit down and relax and read a book. I believe that libraries will not lose visitors because of E-books becoming more popular.

Journal #3

My first few weeks of library science have been fun and interesting! I didn’t think being a librarian would be this hard. I have learned how to shelf books properly, how to sign books out to other students. Signing books out to other students is my favourite; I love scanning the books and then stamping them with the due date! What I find difficult is the blog; I have never made a blog before. The first few blogs were quit difficult but after a few more I got to know how to use it more. I would like to learn about how you become a librarian, what do you have to do for education to become one. So far I have enjoyed my days in the library and can’t wait to learn more stuff in library science!!
