Sugi's Blog Reflection

My best blog post is probably Characterization and review of Micheal Vey: Battle of Ampere. The link is here http://sugisreadingblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/characterization-and-review-of-battle.html. I'd say it is probably my best post because i actually had a voice in my writing. I wasn't just stating facts about a book but telling them and I even went on a little rant (good or bad, I don't know). A quote showing my voice is " For example "The Hunger Games" was carried till it had nothing left which took you to a civil war plot instead of "hunger games", needless characters, Katniss getting addicted to morphine and constantly hiding in a stupid closet crying the whole dang time. I could keep going but ill just say plainly it was the worst ending of a series i have ever read, saw, or even played. I literally threw the book out when i was done.". Now I realize there is kind of a run-on sentence but I just got into it. I was expressing my deep, deep, deep, hatred for Mockinjay by Suzanne Collins. I don't just rant the whole time either. I talk about the characterization in Battle of Ampere as well as the plot of the book and compare it to the two books before it. For example " The story line is quite cool in theory, but this book is very anti-climatic. It's not very deep in emotions or characters, i could sum up the main character Micheal Vey as the literal exact same as Shia Labeouf's  character Sam from Transformers.". I talk about how the plot was slow and boring. It tried to have all this rising action and build up, to literally and ending that takes 3 pages only. I also make a connection to the almost exact same characters MIcheal Vey the protagonist of Battle of Ampere and Sam WitWicky from the Transformer films.

My goals for next Trimester are to read more complicated and harder literature. Maybe even some older novels like The Odyssey by Homer, I'd also like to read the Sherlock Holmes series. The TV series and movies are great so that must mean the books are amazing. I also have an idea of a story. I am no writer and am not a great story-teller but I'd like to try to put my idea down on paper. I keep thinking about different things in my idea of a world. I would really like to improve on my writing skills. As of now I am not to good, but I love reading and have always kind of wanted to make a book of my own. I think I have a really cool idea too. All that's left is to try. Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was 15, its not impossible for me to write either.
