Blog 49

I really can not believe that I have completed the questions we have to answer and I am down to my final two blogs out of fifty. I actually did not know if I was even going to finish my blogs to be honest. But thankfully I am almost completed and will be officially done today, actually with a day in advance:)

For my second to final blog I think I am going to decide which book was my favorite and why was it my favorite. I actually think that the Old Man and the Sea was my favorite book out of the three. Santiago went so long without catching a little fishy(Hemmingway 21). As a reader you just can not help but picture him as a cute little old guy and you just feel for the guy and want him to succeed. I never got bored in this book. It probably kept my attention so well because it was a very short book .I am sorry, but the Grapes of Wrath was over four hundred pages long and it was getting boring and tedious by the like fifteenth chapter. The Catcher in the Rye was also an easy read and it was a good story as well, but the Old Man and the Sea would still have to by favorite.

As far as the books go for Honor's English this years books were probably the best stories. I actually almost did not mind reading them. They honestly were all pretty good books. My freshman year's books were god awful. I hated the Great Expectations. It was literally the worst book I have ever read. I did like Of Mice and Men that year, also because it kept my attention because it was not very long. Life of Pi I also read that year and it was horrendous too. Then, on my sophmore year reading list was Jane Eyre, 1982, and the one about the basically robot babies. I can not remember the name to save my life. Jane Eyre was alright I guess, but the others were not. By far this years reading list was the easist to read, the best messages, and not to bad to waste my summer doing.
