The End of a Mockingbird

                            I finally finished reading the book "To kill a mockingbird"by Harper lee. This book was very different from any book I have ever read because the book i never read about that really wasn't about action which this book really didn't have. The main character in this book really didn't grow that much on the outside as much as she did on the inside. She really grew on the inside by learning a lot from what happened to her through out this book. Her father and her brother really helped her grow by the advice which were very interesting. She grew through the racism in the little town of Maycomb by sticking with her father and her brother Jem. This book was really helped to write about my COA project because my project is on sexual abusing which this book has to do at the end where Atticus the father of the main character of this book represented a black man that represented. By the end of this book Scout became mature even though she didn't reach adulthood and learned a lot about life that was both bad and good.
                            The people that helped Scout grow up affected her both in a good way and in a bad way. The person his her life that mostly affected her life was her father Atticus. Atticus was probably the smartest person in this book because he was the one that taught and encouraged Scout to do things that would teach her a smart lesson but not as a punishment. Another quote that he said that really stoke out to me was "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" This was very interesting and weird quote because it means that you will never learn how a person lives it ill you actually live their life. Scout's father really helped her by teaching her many important things but also put her life in danger. When Atticus represented the black man who supposedly raped a girl. Bob, the father of the girl that got raped lied that Tom, the black man, raped his daughter and Tom was considered guilty and sent to jail. He later tried to escape but got shot to death. In court Bob got kind of embarrassed by Atticus and the judge so he wanted revenge against him. He tried to get revenge on him by rapping/attacking his daughter Scout. But luckily the strange kid named Boo Radley appeared and helped them. Boo Radley had opened up because he never came out of his house before in till now. Boo stabbed Bob and killed him and saved Jem and Scout. Scout's father put her in danger and almost got her killed for trying to save a black man from getting put into jail. This was something that changed both Atticus and Scout because in a way they both opened up in different ways that made them think differently about each other.
                         At the end of this book Scout really didn't grow as much as the outside as much as she did on the inside. Scout learned a lot of things and grew throughout the book. The experiences that happened to her throughout the book made her grow. The most important part of this book changed her and made her grow up. This was when Boo Radley helped her and her brother Jem from getting attacked by Bob. When this happened Scout and Boo started to relate to each other. They related to each other because in different ways they both opened up and became older. Boo opened up by finally getting out of his house and Scout opened up by learning that Boo isn't who she thought he was. After this happened, Scout matured because when she saw Hi Boo" but then she corrected herself and said "Hi Mr. Arthur. This shows that she matured because she now saw Boo as another person, more like an adult because he opened up as well as she did.
                        By the end of this book almost everybody experienced coming of age. Everyone in this book except Scout and Boo changed and matured into different people. Every book that I have ever read never ended like this. The end of this book was very kinding because Atticus and his kids started to read book together at night on a couch like a family. The things that happened to her and what she experienced will probably help her when she reaches adulthood because now she knows what life is really about and that life isn't easy but could be very difficult and hard which Harper Lee was trying to say about coming of age.

About the Mockingbird.

                       In this book that I'm reading there are two main characters. The book that I'm reading is called "To kill a mockingbird". To me this is one of the slowest pastest book I have ever read because they really don't talk about mockingbirds except once. I really don't know if this book is really how to kill a mockingbird or if someone in this book is suppose to be a mockingbird. The setting of this book is probably in the south because almost all the characters talk in a southern accent. So far the main characters haven't done anything interesting or dangerous that I really like to happen in books which makes get really board at some times.
                       "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit them, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird" This was a very important lesson that the main characters father told her brother Jem (This was said on page 103). When I read this I thought the book was going to get better and that the book was going to get more into killing mockingbirds but it was just a lesson about mockingbirds that so far I have read. Atticus, the father of the main character, said this to Jem because in the book Atticus neighbor explain that it's wrong to kill a mocking bird because the only thing that mockingbirds do is bring music into our hearts and do nothing bad which makes it a sin to kill a mockingbird. Before I read this book I never even knew that it was wrong to kill a mockingbird because I thought they were just normal birds but now I know that they are more then that. By the end of this book I wish to find what Harper Lee(author) meant by "To kill a mockingbird" because right now it's very confusing to understand what or who the mockingbird is.
                        In this book, the main character has a lots of protagonists that help her and influence her to do things. The person that helps and teaches her stuff is Atticus, her father. He also influences her to do things that help her learn things. One thing that Atticus influenced her to do with her brother is to live with a cranky old lady for a couple of days so that they could interact with her because they never had the best relationship and she would always insult her and Jem. At the end they became closer but unfortunately the old lady died. Her brother Jem is some what of a trouble maker. He influenced Her to be a look out when he wanted to leave a note to a horrible neighbor named Radley. Jem got really close to getting shot by a shotgun because he heard Jem coming to his backyard. The main character lucky escaped and so did Jem without getting unharmed. Atticus and Jem may both have different influences on her but she's still alright and living happily.
                         So far I could not relate to anybody in this book because no one really describes or relates to me in anyway. The main character and her protagonists do almost everyday things that normal kids do which really doesn't make me get interested to this book and gets me confused from time to time. There are only a couple of things that get me interested in this book and that's some of the crazy things that the main character and her family get trapped or get involved in. If it wasn't for this I probably wouldn't keep reading this book. This probably connects mostly to the world because there are some crazy things that happen to people these days which is sometimes very good or very bad.

The Solar System

            The article that i read is a very important article. I read this article some time ago but i decided to read it again. this article is about new discoveries in our solar system. This article is about how scientists discovered a new planet. The new planet is very similar to many planets but also very different. This planet can be dangerous and both a good place to live. This discovery could be very interesting to people that love science or like to learn about planets.
            The New planet is very big and very hot. The new planet can reach up to be 2,000 Fahrenheit. Because of the intense heat of this planet scientists can't really go up to space and go to the planet or they can die of the heat. Also the planet is 50 light years away. The main idea of this article was that theres more out there then just the 9 planets which is now 10. This is the main idea because the author gave this new planet as an example of many more things out there in space then just stars and sky which many people think is only up there. This wasn't the only new planet discovered but other two planets named Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f. Like the new planet these other planets are also very far away which is 1,000 light-years away
           This was one of the best articles I ever read. I don't usually read or write about science but this article caught my eye and got me very interested on space. I always wondered on what else then planets, stars, and the sky was up there and this article really helped me out on learning more about our solar system. The main idea of these planets was my favorite part of this article. This is my favorite part because I heard about a new planet on the news a long time ago and I didn't know if it was true but now I do because of this article. Probobly this article could be interesting to almost everybody because people might want to learn about others planets besides the one we live in now, which is Earth.

Life Doesn't frighten me

           The poem that I read is called "life doesn't frighten me". This poem is about a person who said that he/she isn't afraid of many scary things. The poet gives many example of things that he/she is not afraid of. readers could think that the reader is trying to convince herself that she's not afraid of anything. Others readers may think that she really is scared and she saying things in this poem that she really is scared of. The thesis of this poem is that she she's really not scared of anything and she's talking about it in this poem. At the end of each stanza she said, "life doesn't frighten me at all" which gave me this idea.
         This was a poem that i read a long time ago but I read again. The poet was trying in this poem that she isn't afraid of anything. She backs this up by giving examples of things that are dangerous like what she said in the poem, "Lions on the loose". She also used many things that happen in everyday life like, "Tough guys fight, All alone at night". The readers uses this to show what she's not afraid of or what readers may think she really is afraid of. Many readers may think that the poet wrote this to show that she/he is afraid of the things of what the poet is talking about and is trying to convince herself that she is not afraid of these things by writing this poem.
         This poem can really relate to everyday life. This poem can also relate to almost every person in this world. This poem relates to life itself because it talks about many things that a lot of people are scared of like snakes, alone in the dark, strangers in the dark,shadows on the wall, big ghosts in a cloud, etc. all of these things were talked about in this poem. No one should not find something in this poem that their not afraid of because everyone is afraid of something which the poet explains that she is saying that isn't which readers may think different of.

The Life of Guy

               The poem that I read is called Please "Don't take my Air Jordan's" by Regie Gains. I read this poem some time ago. This poem was about a young man who's desperate on staying cool. The guy has no money but gets cool gear by through worst ways possible, stealing and killing. The thesis of this poem was that you shouldn't steal or kill for things because you might end up how this guy is living which nobody wants. Regie Gains wrote this poem to introduce what you shouldn't do and why the things this guy did in this poem is not right.
               This thesis has everything to do with the main character. The main character seems to be living a sad life because in the poem he said, "and i gots no job no money at all". The main character seems to really care about his reputation in school because he''s always getting new gear. he has no money so he has to steal his gear. He keeps stealing from the mall and never gets caught. Now the main character needs new gear but he can't steal because he said, "but security's tight at all the shops, everyday there are more and more cops". This meant that there are more police guarding the stores where he robs his clothes and shoes. I infer that the main character won't stop stealing because at the end of the story he was so desperate for shoes that he shot a gut and took his air Jordan's. The main character won't probably stop stealing in till he gets caught shop lifting and goes to prison for a long time.
                   This poem can really relate to many people that lost their ways in life. Not many people live like the main character of this poem but some do live a similar way. A person can become like this main character by not being loved or not having someone to take care of them like parents. People like this aren't really happy with there lives and live with gangs or the streets. There are many people in this world that live like this and aren't loved or doesn't have a choice. I believe that people should not live a life of crime because it isn't right and it's not a way of life. People like this should change really find help and change their way of life so they can live a good and happy life which is what almost everyone wants.

The Life of a Maus

            The book that I started reading is called Maus by Art Spiegelman. This book talks about the author as he was in part of the war back then in the 1900's. He was Jewish like many others. Nazi's where killing millions of Jews. this took part back then in World War 2. He was one of the few survivors who escaped through out the war. He was one of the lucky ones who the Nazi's didn't capture and kill. He wrote this about this too show what happened to millions of Jews in the war and what happened to him. Many Jews would be proud of Spiegelman for writing a story about what happened to him and all the Jewish people that died.
              In this book he wrote about himself in it. He made himself into a mouse and all his Jewish friends. He made the Nazi's people  pigs which demonstrated what they really were. This book reminded me of n article i read that had to do a lot with this book. They both had the event of the holocaust which was a bad time where all the Jewish people were punished but as well killed. the Nazi' people didn't only kill Jews but as well as homosexuals and others who weren't considered normal people. The two authors have a lot in common because they both could of been in the war where many Jews were killed. both might have written this book to show the terror of the Nazi's.

About The Holocaust

              The article that I read was about a dangerous time that affected many people. The most affected were the Jews. back in the 1940's Jews were treated like trash. This happened at the time where World War 2 began. The  people that attacked the Jew's were racist people known as the Nazi's. The Nazi's killed over 6 million Jew's because of their race. Even though the Jews were being killed, they weren't the only ones. Nazi's also persecuted homosexuals and other people who weren't like regular people. The main Nazi was Hitler who was like the leader of the Nazi's. Many Jews were being killed so German's build camps and different types of shelters to protect them during the war. But this didn't stop the Nazi's from attacking them.                                                                        
             In this article the author was trying to convey what the Holocaust was and what happened through it. He also wanted readers to know who were the victim's of the holocaust and the despicable people that killed them. These events were very important in history which was probably why this author wrote it. The author might have written this because he could of been one of the survivors in this war and wanted to write about it. This remained me of a book that I almost finished which was also about a Jew survivor that had also survived in the war. He wrote about this in a book called Maus. these two authors could really connect to the Jews that were killed our imprisoned through out this terrifying war.                                                                                                                        
              I could really not connect to this article because first of all I'm not Jewish or born in the early 19 hundreds like the people that were killed. I feel that no person should be killed because of their race or because their different. A question that i came up with after i read this poem was why attack Jewish people. All Jewish people didn't have to do anything in this war but they were killed in vain. After the war ended almost every Jewish person was devastated. Many Jew's moved away from their country and moved to the the U.S. Many Jewish people also went to Israel. In all of the wars that have occurred in history, to me the Jews have been punished most of all. Now Know one is killed because of their race or because their different, especially Jewish people who have suffered most of all.

The Death of a close friend

         The ending to this book Cirque Du Freak "The Vampire Prince" was very epic and disastrous for some people in the story. No one could have seen what happened at the ending of this book. The evil mastermind that was close to becoming the new vampire prince, that betrayed the whole vampire clang and joined the vampinize clang confessed himself of what he did. This was one of the most shocking moments in this whole book since no one would of guessed that the traitor would confess himself. Now something horrible awaited Kurda at the end of the story. I never thought that Kurda would confess himself so easily because his plan was going good in till Darren came.
        Last time while i was reading this some of Kurda's bodyguards came in to protect him but he said that he didn't need anything so they killed themselves. Right after that one of the vampire princes asked Kurda what he was plotting. At first he didn't respond but then he said that the evil vampinize were coming to Vampire Mountain and were going to attack. The Princes were outraged of what Kurda had been plotting so they sent him to immediately Termination. Darren was proud of what he accomplished and saved Vampire Mountain from a huge attack, but not fully. Darren went back to his room after this so that the Princes would decide what will happen to Darren. Darren later confronted the vampires to discuss of a plan to stop the vampinize from getting inside the halls. Darren thought of a plan that had to do with spiders. The princes went along with it. Many of the cave spiders in Vampire Mountain attacked the vampinize which distracted them so that the vampires would deliver a sneak attack. The vampires managed to defeat the all the vampinize but one of Darren's closest friend Ara died by a stab in the stomach.
          The Vampires managed to defeat the vampinize in this battle due to the idea of Darren. Ara never made it from her injuries and was going to be cremated with Gavner. And for Kurda, he was sent to the hall of death to die in millions of needled for betraying the vampire clan. Darren was asked to go to the hall of princes one more time to accept his fate. The princes eyed Darren in a serious way. The young vampire was expecting death but of what he did to protect many vampires from dying he was rewarded. His teacher could not believe what the princes said to Darren. Spoiler Alert: Darren was announced to be a VAMPIRE PRINCE. Darren was in shock and so was eye because like Mr.Crepsley said "He is just a boy, he is not ready for such big duties" The young boy that was living a normal life is now becoming a vampire prince that everyone respected.

The Love of Romeo and Juliet

      The movie that I saw in class was the old tale Romeo and Juliet made in a present tense version. Before I saw it I have never even read or seen a movie about Romeo and Juliet. But when i saw the movie i really liked it because it wasn't old or said in words that i couldn't understand. I thought that it was going to be Romeo and Juliet talking in an old fashion voice but they talked just like us. I'm going to tell you some reasons why i started to like Romeo and Juliet.                                                                                       
    The movie that i saw in class was very different from the Romeo and Juliet that i heard about. The thing that I liked about this movie was that it wasn't boring like the old movies that I heard about but insted it was about young teenagers acting like themselfs. Also i like how Romeo and Juliet try to escape on an exculator by not getting caught by Juliets Mom. One of the best things I liked about the movie was the action scenes.  The action scences for me were intense and very cool. The best action scene for me is when Romeo avenges
his friend and kills the guy that killed his best friend.                                                                                     
       These were many reasons why I liked this movie but the most important thing about this movie wass the theme. The theme to me for this movie was that sometimes people would do anything for love. Romeo and   Juliet really liked each other in this movie so they would sneak out and meet each others many times.             Something that stood out to me was the color of the movie. But not just the movie but the color of the           people's cloths and dresses of the party in Juliets house. There were many cloths that shined in the moonlight which was very interesting to me. The last thing that I wonderd was that the weather would change when
things got good or when things got bad.
     

Finding the right person

        Last time while I read the cirque du freak series, the young vampire named Darren has faced hell. Now in this book vol. 6 he has somehow lived falling down the rushing waterfall that he thought he would die going down from. He was very lucky not to die. He reached the bottom and is very cold and injured. He might of lived but he's still very injured from falling down the waterfall and the trails of death he recently faced. Now he's alone and away from Kurda, a young vampire he used to call his friend now his worst nightmare. Darren has to sneak back to vampire mountain without nobody noticing or else Kurda might kill him. Can he do it......
      The main character has never faced anything like this since he had turned into a vampire. He walked on the cold snow rapped in tape freezing to death. He walked and walked but he believed he wouldn't make it, until he fell on the cold floor. As he fell he saw a shadow of a hungry wolf. It came closer and closer in till it licked the young vampire. I thought that the wolf was gonna eat him because Darren looked very week and defenseless and it looked like he wasn't gonna make it. When Darren looked up he saw it was his young pup Rudi and his other wolf friends. Darren hugged Rudi as he licked his face. That gave Darren the energy to go on the vampire mountain. He walked a little more after that and he fell asleep in the middle of a few wolfs. The next morning he had the energy to eat and drink and make it to Vampire mountain and find someone that would believe him and help stop Kurda from helping the horrible vampires the vampinez from invading Vampire mountain.
      Ina few day's he made it secretly threw a cave where a wolf guided him and left. He quietly went inside and went to look for someone that would help him expose who Kurda really is. If i was Darren i would not do this because i could die by Kurda's army of vampineze with other vampire friends. The person that Darren choose to help him was his teacher's teacher. When Seba the teacher saw him come he was surprised that he was alive. Darren told Seba all of what has happen to Gavner and Kurda. Seba was shocked but he believed him. Seba said that he would help him. He and Darren walked in the hall of princes and everybody stared at him. Kurda saw him and some of his friends guarded him. I infer that Darren will get killed with some of his friends because he spoiled Kurda's plans.

LIFE Dosen't Frighten Me At All.

     The Photo that is shown on the right is the cover of a book that was like a poem that i really enjoyed that was written by Maya Angelou .It was about the author talking about things that they said wasn't scared or frighten of. The thing that i liked about this poem was that the author used many pictures to show the things that the the author said. Also I liked that the author gave many examples of what she/he wasn't "afraid of". I will tell you what i think of the author and if i think that the author isn't actually scared at all.
     When i read this book/poem i read a lot of things that the author said wasn't afraid of. But in reality I think the author is trying to say that she/he is scared of many things and is writing some of the things that she's actually scared of in this book. Some of the things i read that she said "Doesn't frighten me at all" was the dark, people fighting, dragons which is the one in this picture, big animals, and many more stuff. I believe that the author is scared because i believe that the author is explaining things in this poem that she really is scared of and trying to tell the world but says "Life doesn't frighten me at all". This is some of the many things why I think she's trying to express that she actually afraid of many things but can't say it but can write it in a way that people think that she's not afraid of.
     I connect to this poem because there are many things that im afraid of but never have the courage to tell anybody like i think the author is also trying to say. I also think this author's poem connect's to everyone else in this world because everybody's scared of somehting and never really express it like I think the author did in this poem. The main reason why I liked this poem was that it really spoke out to me and I think relates not just to me but everybody else thatis afraaid of something and never has the courage to tell anyone but could write about it like the aouthor did.

MY NOMINATION GOES TO........

       Gio because I like how he did a very good job on his blog post mostly how he described a character in to different ways. Also that he post at least 3 paragraphs which is very good. Also another thing i liked about his Blog Post is that he didn't retail like i used to do a lot which very important not to do a lot of in blog posts.  This was part of Gio's Blog post that i saw that i like out of the 3 I read today that liked,

    "Greg could have been the bad protagonist and he could have been the good protagonists but as a result Greg was the good protagonist that cared to change the life of a child who was poor. Now if Greg was the bad protagonist he would not care for these kids and he would have just said thank you for your help when he was there on the small village,"
 
        This was so far the best part of his blog that made me nominate him because on how he described this protagonist in a both positive and negative way. KEEP IT UP GIO!

The Great Betrayal

      
      Last time I started to read book called Cirque Du freak vol. 5 written by Darren Shan. Now I finished this book and many horrifying things have happened. The young vampire could not finish the trails of death and was sentenced to death. But the important most part was that he didn't die with the help of some very close friends. This is what has happened since the last trail.
      Darren had to face the hardest trail of his life which was the trail of flames. Darren managed to complete this trail but he came out very injured and burned. He lived and passed it but he had to be covered all over his body with paper. The young vampire lost all his hair and didn't wake up for a day. After that he had only one day to recover from all his burns. But Darren was in luck because the Festival of the vampires has been announced to be on the day that Darren had to face his next trail which was the trail of the boars. Darren had to face of 2 boars and kill them before they killed him. The festival of the vampires was the day that everybody had to have fun, drink all day, and beat the hell out of each other. I think that even though Darren has more time to rest for the next trail, he won't be fully cured because he had been to injury burned and still sore. At last he recovered more then he expected but he was still badly injured and burned. He didn't get to train because there was no time for him to train since he could hardly move the passed few days. Darren fought the 2 bulls but it was a little difficult for him to kill them both. He killed one but he got squished by it. Next the other live bull came full speed at him trying to kill him. But Darren's little friend came out of nowhere and smashed the bull. Darren was saved but he knew that he had to face the hall of Death. Darren was sent back to his room as his friends tried to talk to the vampire councils and not let them send Darren to the Hall Of Death. Darren waited and waited in his cabin and suddenly the young vampire named Kurda told Darren the horrible news. The vampire councils decided that Darren Shan should die in the Hall Of Death so he could suffer for "Cheating" I believe that Darren shouldn't die in the Hall Of Death because he really didn't cheat in his trail, he was just unexpectedly helped and Darren's a good boy and a damn good vampire that i read so far. Darren didn't know to face his death as a vampire or save himself as a human. Darren finally choose to escape from Vampire Mountain with Kurda secretly so no one would catch him. They made good progress escaping but out of nowhere where another friend of Darren named Gavner caught them. He didn't turn Darren in because they were close friends so he helped him escape. They were almost out of Vampire Mountain but they saw a bunch of horrible, evil vampinize. Darren wanted to fight them but he didn't have a weapon so Kurda and Gavner fought side by side. they secretly wanted to attack them but a vampinize screamed and there cover was blown. They had no choice but to fight them. This is where the Great Betrayal took place.       Kurda and his friend Gavner fought very well in till they had to fight the leader. The leader was tuff but they were tougher. This was one of the best scenes in to me because something very unexpected happen that I never thought would ever happen through out this series.  The worst part was that Darren came back to see what had happened. Gavner had the vampinize leader in the right place where Kurda could stab him and finish it once and for all but he didn't do it. The end to poor Gavner's life was here near. Kurda did not stab the vampinize but instead he stabbed his old friend Gavner right in front of Darren's eyes. I could not explain what Darren must of been feeling that a friend that he thought of as his uncle be betrayed by his own friend. Gavner fell down and died as Darren saw everything and tried to help Gavner but there was no hope left for. Darren in hate grabbed his knife and told Kurda that he was a monster and that he was going to kill him. Kurda didn't want to hurt Darren so he told his vampinize friends to drop all there weapons. Kurda wanted Darren to join him. But Darren never wanted to so he ran as fast as he could with all his injuries. He managed to get to the blood waterfall. Kurda was right behind him. Darren had 2 choices, either to join Kurda and his crew or fall down the well and possibly die. Darren came close to Darren again and stretched his hand out and again said to join them. Darren wanted to get to revenge for his murdered friend so he dived down the well as he screamed "MAY IN DEATH MAY I BE TRIUPHTANT!!!" As he fell down the waterfall going down to Death............

The Challanges of Death.

            The book that I just started to read is the fifth volume of the cirque du freak series. As i started to read it many horrible things have happened to Darren the young vampire boy. Darren had to face the trails of death to prove himself as a vampire to the councils. Darren accepted to do the challenges but he didn't know what he had to do and now he kind of regrets on taking the challenges. Now he has to prove himself by completing all the challenges or die trying.
        Darren has accepted to do the challenges of death but he wasn't gonna do it alone. With the help of some of Mr.Cresley's friends Darren was determined to pass the trails and prove himself as a vampire. I think that if Darren didn't have anyone to help him he would have not passed the trails and died trying. Darren had 24 hours to prepare for the trails and 24 hours to rest for each test which was a good advantage for Darren. The first trail he choose at random from a bag was the trail of water. friend Vanez helped him a lot on preparing for this trail which was a trail ofstragedy that Darren had to get out of an underwater maze and escape before the water reached the surface. Darren trained a lot for this trail but hardly made it and almost didn't make it. The second trail was also a strategy trail which Darren had to make out without dying,
getting stabbed by needeseverywhere. Darren made it out of this trail but the next trail was so far the hardest out of all the trails. The Trails of Flames....
         Darren mangaged to pass the trails of water and needles with a few bruises but the next one he took was the hardest and he almost didn't make it alive. The 3rd trail he picked out at random was the trails of flames which Darren had to escape the horrifying heat of the flames that could burn a person up. This was the test that I and Darren didn't think passing because it was very hard and complicated. Darren even gave a hug and said his farewells to his teacher mr.crepsley because he thought he wasen't gonna make it. Darren lasted a long time in this test tring not to get fried or hurt. But then there was a point where Darren got cornered and got blasted with flames all around his body. Darren thought he was done but the test had ended a few seconds after he got all fired up and some how made it threw test hardly alive. Like i said before i thought that Darren wasnt gonna make it but he some how did almost dead and burned to ashes. After the test,
Darren had been all rapped up with papers so he would cool down and recover. Sadly Darren wasn't recovering fast enough from his this trail and he and his friends thought that he wasn't gonna be ready enough for his next trail so Darren's freinds went to talk to the councails to give Darren some extra time to recover from his injuries but the vampire councials wouldn't give him more time and had to be ready in 24 hours to take his nect trail. I belive that Darren isn't gonna be ready for the next trail because he has benn to badly injured and has no chance in recovering fully in 1 day. I hope that Darren recovers and gets ready for the next trail threw out the book or else he would have to die in the Hall of Death!

Darren Meets The Councials.

This book that i finished was called Cirque du freak which was very interesting at the end. Darren finally arrived at Vampire Mountain to meet the councils for the first time. But before that he got a new pair of shoes and ate like there was know tomorrow. He arrived there with his vampire teacher Mr.Crepsley his friend Gavner. They met a lot of people in Vampire Mountain that were very good and became close friends with Darren. It was all good in till he had to talk to the councils and face something horrifying.
         In Vampire mountain Darren first met Mr.Crepsley teacher that taught him how to be a vampire. Then Darren met a young vampire named Kurda who was close to being a vampire prince who was also one of the youngest vampires alive. Next he met Vanez who was the gamekeeper of Vampire Mountain who was in charge of the game room in Vampire Mountain. Next he met one of the toughest people in Vampire Mountain who was a women that beat Darren in a tough game of skill who fell unconscious. These were the people he became close with and taught him many things about Vampire Mountain. Darren had a lot of fun with his new friends in Vampire Mountain but it all ended when he talked to the vampire councils and made him take a big decision.
          It was finally time for Mr.Crepsley and Darren to go to the hall of Princes and talk to the councils and present themselves. The councils looked at Mr.Crepsley and then furiously at Darren and asked Mr.Crepsley why he brought a child with him. Mr.Crepsley said that he was his assistant and that he was teaching him the ways of a vampire. The councils could not stand for it and sentenced a challenge for Darren to prove that he was a true vampire. The vampire councils said that Darren had to take the trails of death which was some horrifying challenges he had to take by himself and survive or escape. Darren thought and didn't know what to do. He didn't know a lot of the challenges or the ways of a vampire. But Darren didn't want to shame his teacher and last said that he would take the challenges to prove himself as a vampire. If i were Darren i wouldn't of taken the challenges because i would of not known a lot about vampires and not a lot about the challenges either and would have died. After Darren had been dismissed from the hall of princes he talked to his two friends Gavner and Kurda about the challenges and found out a lot of important information about the challenges. He thought he would have a lot of time to recover and rest after each challenge but he only had 24 hours. Also Darren found out the most important thing about the trails of death which was if Darren didn't complete the challenges he would sentenced to extermination.
