3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers by Alexander Dumas

This book actually turned out to be a three week book for me because the writing is really hard.
Warning- Spoiler Alert
D'Artgnan ( the main character who wants to become a musketeer), is actually not the best person. He abducts a mans wife, because D'Artagnan is in love with her. At this point, the 3 musketeers, Athos, Aramis and Porthos, have become good friends with D'Artagnan and let him become a musketeer. The guards mistake Athos for D'Artagnan as the person who abducted the wife and arrest Athos. A lot of things came to my mind when this happened in the book. But who knows, I may be wrong.

This is a funny and adventurous book, but it takes place in the 1600s so it has really complicated phrases and words.

Slice of Life Hamster

   I'm lying on my bed doodling with my hamster in my other hand, who is cleaning himself. I put him down and let him run around my bed. I keep and eye on him to make sure he doesn't fall (not that he would) and continue doodling at the same time. I walk over to the window and glance at the sunshine. It almost blinds me so I look away and skip over to my bed. I look around my bed for my hamster. No where to be seen. I look under my pillows. No. Under my bed. Nope. My heart is pounding and I'm afraid everyone could hear it. This is my second month with my hamster and he's gone. 

   I flip open my covers and catch a glimpse of a grayish black bump. It turns out to be my hamster cleaning himself. Acting all innocent. I feel a wave of relief come through me and I gently pick him up and take him over to his cage. That was close.

3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers by Alexander Dumas

First of all, this is a two week book for me and probably others. This book takes place in France, and back in the old times. It is about a young man named D`Artagnan who wants to become a musketeer, but in order to become that, he must duel with the 3 musketeers who are really good friends. D'Artagnan is very curious, and brave, to want to have such a big responsibility of a musketeer. This is a funny book, and so far its pretty hard to read. The genre is probably adventurous, funny, and a little intense.

Slice of Life- Mexico

The hot sun burns my back when I walk over to the pool. Barcelo Maya Palace Hotel and Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico is like paradise. All you do is relax. I jump into the cold, refreshing pool, and get all wet. My friend is there to, and we are just chilling in the pool and having fun. I swim over to the pool bar, and order a cherry coke. I drink it and get out of the pool to dry up. I stand next to the pool and talk to my friend, who is in it, but suddenly, I feel a push. I lose my balance and fall into the pool. I turn around and see my annoying 11 year old cousin, Simon, laughing at me. I run out of the pool and chase him around (but walking). I get tired of it and give up, so I walk over to the pool again.

I feel a drip of water, then another, then another. I look up and see a bunch of raindrops. In Mexico, when it rains, it pours. Its warm rain, but I get soaked in 30 seconds. I walk over with my friend, Michelle, over to a area that actually has a roof. My parents are at a buffet, eating away, not having any idea its raining, while Michelle and I are trying to be brave enough to run over to the towel area. We finally have the guts to, so we run over, and then covering ourselves, run over to the beach where my parents stuff is, trying to save their stuff before it gets soaked. Too late. All of the stuff is soaked, but we manage to get ahold of it and bring it over to my parents. That was a kind thing to do, and I'm proud of us, because we also had fun while saving their stuff. 

-This was over thanksgiving break this school year, and my family, cousins, and friends were there. In Mexico.- 

Up a Road Slowly

Up a Road Slowly
By Irene Hunt

This book is about a girl named Julie who would always have fun at Aunt Cordelia's and she would have a amazing time. But when her mother passes away and Julie has to come to Aunt Cordelia's to live with her, she has to experience different emotions and more. This wasn't the best book I read, although it is a quick read. It has good description, and a good book for reading if you don't have anything else to read. Its a little sad, but in all pretty good.

Slice of Life

   The snowflakes dance down my boots and socks. The icy feeling is like a spring because it makes me jump up. The sky is gray but the sun is peeking through that dull gray color. I glance down at the snow and its so bright a can't take it. I am in my backyard with my dog. He is in a dog coat that we put on him to keep him warm. When the snow is around a inch, and of course my dog is extra hyper.

   I chase him around, with him rolling around and getting all covered in snow. He is like a snow magnet because when he walks outside he is dry, but when he steps onto the grass, he gets covered in snow. The snow on him melts, and turns into water, and getting my dog soaked, which makes him look like a rat. I shiver, yet keep running around with my dog.

   I finally stop, and look through one of the windows of my room. I see the faint outline of my hamsters cage and smile, but stop looking when I hear a loud bark from my dog. I get ahold of him and head inside. It felt like a winter wonderland.

The Book Thief

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak 


This book is about a German girl named Liesel Meminger who lives in a foster home and doesn't have the best life. The parents, Rosa and Hans aren't that wealthy and so they hve to trade cigarettes that Hans smokes in order to get books. Speaking of books, the narrator considers Liesel a books thief. Liesel steals books from the mayor's library, and the Nazi fire. But when they hide a Jew in their basement.... thats when everything changes.
This book is full of suspense and questions, and has a lot of action. I really enjoyed it although it would probably be considered a two week book.
