Hey, everyone! :)
This week I have started to read the book Everwild by Neal Shusterman. It is the second book in the Skinjacker trilogy, and I really enjoy it so far. It is basicly about a land called Everlost, which is where you go if you die and don't make it to the light at the end of the tunnel. I know, crazy, right? Anyway, so only children can enter Everlost, and they are called Afterlights. In this book, there are three main characters; Nick, Mary, and Allie.
One character I would like to meet is Allie...and not just because her name is close to mine. Allie is very determined. She knows what she wants and she almost always gets it. She can sometimes seem cocky though, and I don't know if I could get along with that.
Four questions I might ask her would be:
1. What is it like being in Everlost?
2. How do you deal with the fact that you are no longer living?
3. Do you ever miss your friends and family?
4. If you had the opportunity to be alive again, would you take it?
I think the answers to there questions would be something like:
1. Everlost is a very strange place. You have to be careful that you don't stand still long enough, or you will sink toward the center of the earth. Also, it is odd because you can see the living world, but it is dull in comparison to Everlost.
2. I like it better now that I am no longer living. Although, it doesn't seem any different. You are surrounded by people who are also dead, so it's not like you're the only one.
3. Of course I miss my friends and family! But honestly, I don't remember them very well. I have been dead for two years now. I more or less miss the idea of having a family to miss.
4. No, I would not take the oppurtunity to be alive again. I don't feel as if my time in Everlost has been long enough.
So there's my blog post for this week. I still need some informational books and a couple more poetry. Is there anything else anyone needs? You help me, I help you. :)
Hey Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteSome portry books that I read were "The New Kid on the Block",and "Joyful Nosie". I hope that I was helpful enough for you. Also the book that you are reading sounds really interesting and reminds me of the book we read in 6th grade. I think it was called Tuck Everlasting. Do you remember reading that book? It was a good book to read that I remember.
this book sounds very adventerous. your questions seemed very relavent to the person you are asking. ive read shel silverstine books for poetry they are easy and fun
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! I'll keep those books in mind. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Alexandra! This books seems really interesting. I'll probably be reading it. Good job on the questions.
ReplyDeleteHey Alexandra! I read the first book in the Skinjacker trilogy, but not Everwild. I'll have to read it eventually! A really easy informational book to read would probably be An Incoveniant Truth. We already watched the video for it in science class, so it's basically the same thing except it's shorter.
ReplyDeleteHey Alexandra! Nice blog, there is this one series that you would probrably like, but it isn't informational or poerty. It's the Mortal Instruments series, it's all about demons and shadowhunters. By the way, you could read Alex & Me and ask Miss.K if it could count as informational. ;)
