A Place to Read About Me

The book Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, is the third book in the inheritance series. The basis of the book is that the dwarfs society is falling apart because they do not have a ruler. The tension only causes trouble for the Varden and Eragon as he and Saphira, his dragon, must bring the Varden forces back together in order to take down evil king Galbitorix, who is also a dragon rider.

The author for the book did a great job with the story. Although the book has some of its more gory parts and also some slow parts too I found that I cared about the characters and their safety. I was drawn into the story line and could see the characters coming to life in the pages of the book. Over all I really loved the book and the entire series. Though with the release of this book readers have been told that the series will no longer be a trilogy. The book was great it made me feel the characters emotions. Whether it be happy or sad, mad or angry Christopher Paolini did a great job of portraying how the characters felt.

I would with out a doubt recommend this book to anyone. The writing was incredible. It made it feel like I was there watching the events of the book alongside the characters. The book also had a great storyline. The book took many twists and turns with many unexpected events throught the plot. The third reason is for the series. I’ve read the books Eragon, and Eldest in the series and loved them both. Brisingr is the third in the series.I can’t wait for the fourth book.

This quarter I started by reading the book Eldest by Christopher Paolini. The second in the Inheritance series. The book Eldest is about a boy named Eragon; who, after the first book in the series, finds himself on the front lines of a rebel army. After defeating the an army of Urgals, Eragon is sent to the elven city of Duweldenvarden to finish his training as a dragon rider, so he can defeat the evil king Galbitorix and bring his endless reign to an end.

The writing in the book Eldest, and the entire Inheritance series is great. I found myself drawn into the charicters emotions and the great dialouge. I would read for what felt like just a few minutes and ended up being a few hours. Eldset ended up being a book that I truly could not put down. Overall I really loved the book. It is one of the longest books I’ve ever read and I ended up finishing it over the course of one four day weekend. The book was a mix of action, sorrow and happyness. A book that, again, I truly could not put down.

I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone. But make sure you read the first book in the series entitled Eragon. This is because of three main reasons. The books great dialogue pulls you in to the characters emotions and way of thinking.  Another reason is because of the action and suspence that makes the book a great read.  The third reason is that the entire series is great and is definantly one to read.

In class today we read about shoreline erosion. We were asked to talk about a shoreline experience we had had involving shoreline erosion.

My extended family owns a house on Lake Michigan, in the town of Lakeside. We all share it. One year when we first stepped into the water the ground felt like slime. We grabbed a handful of the material and noticed it was clay.  This was an example of erosion because all of the sand on the bottom had been moved away leaving the slimy clay on the bottom exposed.

In class we have been learning about volcanoes recently. Then we watched a video about Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. We were asked to relate two concepts we have learned to the movie.

Pompeii spewed ash and rock and also pyroclastic material. The video also said that in other times the volcano has erupted lava so that means that volcano has to be a stratovolcano. We also learned about all of the types of volcanic rock. In the video they said that it was “raining” small chunks of pumice. Pumice is a rock that is formed by lava cooling in mid air and it is so light and in-dense that it floats in water and was almost harmless when it fell on the people. The problem was that mixed in with the pumice were volcanic bombs. They were large enough to kill a man if they fell on you.

I read “Eragon” by the author Christopher Paolini for Reading Counts and I passed my test with flying colors! I completed 730 pages, and I would give this book a rating of 7 out of 10.
