EDWARD TULANE this is a story that I read a little while ago and I finished it. That book was a really good so I just want to tell you it. Okay here I go. Once there was a china rabbit and he lived with a girl named Abilene and she was an angel to him he loved her so much and every day she would put him on a chair and she would get his own little pocket watch and put it in his lap and she would say wait for me to come back from school. that night she came back home and she had some dinner and then she went into her bed and every night her grandma who's name was pelagrena cam in her room and every night the little girl would ask her grandma if she would tell her a story and her grandma would always say there will be a story tonight so she told her a story. The next day as the family was eating there breakfast they said that they were going to London and so they left on a big boat the next day. Then one day when they were still on the boat two boys flung Edward off the boat and he was drowning and then when all hope was lost a fisher man caught him in his net and took the rabbit with him to his wife Nellie and she loved him she thought he was a girl so she made little dresses for him and they called him Susan. One day Nellie's daughter came and she hated toys so while nobody was looking she put Edward in the trash bin and told her mother that she needed to go shopping so she took the trash bin with her and dumped it in the garbage dump and drove away. and then like a year later a dog was digging in the dump till the dog smelled something weird and the dog dug more till finally the dog found Edward and took him out and brought Edward to its master and the man the dogs master said good job Lucy you want some rabbit pie now but then the man found out it was a toy and he was like ugh man and he walked along still with Edward in his hands and then he got tired and he got in a train and slept then Lucy woke up and looked around and there was a man with a club and the man that owned the dogs name was bull so the other man said get out of my train and he took Edward and threw him down a hill and then Edward heard Lucy's hurting call. Then an old lady came and picked him up and said you will be great scearcrow and she picked him up and made him a scearcrow and then Edward saw a kid and the kid said I will be here tonight to get you down so that night the kid got him down and gave him to his little sister who was really sick and she loved him so much and then things started to get bad the 5 month she would not eat and the 6 month she started coughing up blood and then one day in Septembers she died and so the boy was so sad and then Edward broke and he had to go to a shop to get fixed and one day when he was on a shelf waiting to be bought a girl and her grandma came in and it was Abilene and then they bought Edward.

Allan Quatermain

Allan Quatermain

H. Rider Haggard

Action/Adventure

Paragraph #2

Allan Quatermain is the main character in the story

He is a short grizzled old man of sixty-sumthin'.  He is the best shot in all of Africa and is an adventurer at heart.

Allan Quatermain does right when he puts his life in harms-way to keep good from being impaled on a spear.

________________________________

Sir Henry Good is another important character in the story

He is a tall, muscular, handsome man.  He is good friends with Allan and like Allan, has a keen sense of adventure.

Umslopogaas is one of my favorite characters in the book

He is a wiry old native, and old friend of Allan's and he carries a long pole ax which he referes to as Ignoisi-glaas.  He often speaks to his ax, but considers it 'unsportsmanlike' to use the blade side of his weapon, and instead uses mainly a spike at the top of the ax to 'peck' his enemies heads.

Paragraph #3

The time is somewhere in the mid 1800's and the place is deep in the heart of South America.

An underground river feeds into a large lake, and on the borders of this lake is a peaceful people (who I forgot their names).  They worship the sun as the ultimate god and the land is mainly ruled by the priest of the sun.  Even though the official rulers are the Twin Queens, Umslythia, and Soria.  Both very beautiful ladies.

Paragraph #4

I wouldn't say there is any moral to the story, or a meaning.  I think it was just meant to be a good read.

This is a story of battle, betrayal, treachery, adventure, friendships, and love.

I don't think I could say I learned anything from this book, except maybe the word piqued, (tho i might still not know what it means)

The Masai were holding the missionaries daughter as hostage until the white men decided to give up either Henry, John, or Allan.  They resolved to do a sneak attack and take the Masai by surprise, and try to free his daughter.

Paragraph #5


  1. Allan and his friends are attacked by the Masai, while staying with their missionary friends.  They repel the attack and set off to find the Lost White Tribe.
  2. They are sucked underground, while canoeing down the river, and let out the other side to find that they are right in the middle of the city where the Lost White Tribe lives.
  3. They kill a herd of Hippo, which are a sacred animal and the ones they shot were a families pets, and tame.  The high priest Agon becomes infuriated and tries to kill them but they escape.
  4. Both Queens falls in love with Henry but he loves one over the other, and Soria, the younger, builds an army to fight against her sister.
  5. Soria is repelled and Allan is gravely wounded and has internal bleeding.  And Umslopogaas is killed when he fights off the priest of Agon to save the Queen.  And Allan dies of internal bleeding.
  6. Henry takes up Allan's diary and finishes the last pages, all of which are attributed to Allan.

Paragraph #6

I thought this book was one of the best books I have ever read.

I don't really know, it is very hard for me to decide.  Maybe the part when Umslopogaas fight all the priest.

I didn't like the part when Allan and his friends killed two hundred Masai with only twenty five guys that could fight, it was a little hard to believe.

It wasn't confusing, but as I said above it was a little hard to believe.

It was predictable in the sense that I knew they were going to find another long-lost civilization, because it happened in the other two books he wrote before.

The ending was sad, because Henry took Allan's diary and filled the last pages about Allan. . . it made me cry a bit.

Do Hard Things

Alex and Brett Harris

Do Hard Things

The publisher is Multnomah

This book was written in Colorado Springs CO in 2008

This book taught me that even though some things may be hard it is always best to do them.
This book says that now days people don't expect much from our teens.  So when we get out of our comfort zone to do something good that is glorifying God, it will have a big impact on others.
IT says that a lot of real life problems may be hard to do and even though we do not see the benefit of doing them now you will see it in the future.
In the book a lot of people didn't know that they can do hard thing but they found out that if we really try hard to accomplish them, we can.

I really liked how they gave a lot of information about other people that have gone through the same things that we have and that it is not impossible.
I really liked it how they gave encouragement on a lot of  areas that I need to work on.  
I loved this book because it seamed  they were hitting the nail on the head for me.  Like before I read this book I was saying to myself that God did not create me to be a read but in the book it said that we sometimes think like that, but it is not true.

The title basically explains the book.  Do Hard Thing, that is what they are talking about the whole time.

I don't really think that they added any fiction in this book.  Reason. Because it all seamed so real and because they are Christians so I don't think they would add anything fake in their book.

Boys of Grit who became Men of Honor

Boys of Grit who became Men of Honor

Archer Wallace is the Author he is also a male

In the summer of 1730 a baby boy was born into a family of 12 kids he was the therteenth.
The boy's name was Josiah Wedgewood He went to school until his father died and then went to work in a factory that made pot and pottery.

This Book was published by Lamplighter Publishing and it was published October 2002 in the United States of America.

I learned not to give up when you get let down. And to put all your efort into you work.  And not to complain becase when Josiah had small pox and it left him crippled he did not complain about it once in his life.  To make my work look good.  And to care for my mother.

I like how he didn't complain, He cared for his mother and and he was the best potter of his time.
I didn't like how he got small pox, and I didn't like how he was crippled and I didn't like how his father died.

The title is related to this book because the boys that were crippled and uneducated became men of Honor.

I think it was all real the whole book.
