Vampire Diaries - third and last post

For the last post I?ve been thinking of describe the community where
everything is happening ? Mystic Falls. The name is describing the
village/community-not-so-very-unlike-Knivsta-place in a good way. It is
mysterious, cozy and in the middle of nowhere. Well it?s not very far from
Georgia I think, but everything you can see if you look to the north, south,
east and west is wood. How cozy isn?t that when you?ve got vampires, witches,
wizards and werewolves all around yourself?
Well, Mystic Falls contains a great school where all the students are going. It?
s made of bricks and how the school is, isn?t unlike how usual American schools
are. When I think of an American school the first thing I?m thinking of are the
American football-teams and all the cheerleaders. That?s exactly how this
school is ? the cool guys are playing football and the beautiful girls are all
cheerleaders. But why is it like that? It?s seems to me that this is a
privilege that makes an American school American. And if that?s an American
school, what?s the privilege for a Swedish school? Are there any privileges for
a Swedish school or is it just normal? And what?s normal? Well, I?m thinking a
lot and right now I?m going over to a new subject so this is where I?m stopping
with the school-talk.
The community contains a lot of dwellings too and they are quite old. They are
made of wood or bricks and are looking like usual, a little bit older rentals.
The asphalt on the roads in the ?inner city? aren?t repaired on a while and I
think that it?s looking like it did for over a century ago. We can call it a
well preserved community and I think that?s the point with it. It makes it a
little more mysterious if it?s happening in a small community with only five
polices ? now only the sheriff because of vampire attacks ? who can?t make a
lot for saving everyone.
The reason for the author Lisa to write about Mystic Falls as this
village/community-not-so-very-unlike-Knivsta-place is because it?s easy to make
the story more mysterious and she is using it in a great way. You now the story
get fluffy and puffy with all the descriptions. It?s a great way to make a
story more interesting if you ask me and you?ll get your own picture of how it
is and what it looks alike.
So now you know what I think of Mystic Falls and I still don?t have the answer
of what?s normal. The only thing I actually found out is that something normal
isn?t something unusual.

Spejarens lärling - Macindaws fästning - tredje inlägget

Jag har nu läst ut hela boken.

Will och horace tillfångatog den ryska generalen och hade honom i deras läger för att få honom att prata.

Fast han vägrar. Deras vän Malcolm kan svartkonst och sånt.. Där generalen kom från var man rädd för demoner och onda andar. Malcolm låtsades vara en ond trollkarl med en ond demon som skulle döda honom och slita ut hans inälvor om han inte tala om när den ryska armén kom. Då pratade han och berättade allt. Will, Horace och alla skandier hade 3 veckor på sig att ta över fästningen och rädda Wills vän Alyss. Will byggde en låda som han, Horace och 4 skandier skulle hoppa in i och lägga sig 20 meter från fästningen sen skulle skandierna hoppa ut så att det såg ut att dom flydde och Will och Horace skulle sitta kvar i vagnen i timmar tills vakterna inte ansåg det som ett hot. Sen skulle Malcolm börja med sina svartkonster igen, då skulle fästningens intresse komma på södra sidan av fästningen. Då skulle Will och Horace hoppa ut ur vagnen och anfalla fästningen med överraskning. Keren som hade tagit över fästningen innan hade en liten stalker som hette Buttle. När dom gjorde anfallet så gick allting bra men när Will skulle rädda Alyss kom Keren och förstörde. Will var nära att dö men då tog Alyss en ljusstake och döda Keren innan Will dog.

Sen tog alla farväl och alla levde lyckliga.

Speciellt Will och Alyss dom gifte sig.

Shiver - second post

Now I have read a bit longer since my first post and a lot if new
things have happened. I think the book is really good and it gets even
more exciting the more I read!
Grace is very exited about the meeting with her wolf, when she actually
touched him for the first time since they met. She really wants to talk
to somebody about it, but especially since Jack Culpeper got killed by
the wolves she figures that nobody will understand her feelings about
the incident.
Later, at the same day as Grace?s and Sam?s special meeting, the white
she-wolf shows up just outside her window in the dark. She looks at
Grace and seems to warn her from taking contact with Sam, to back of
and leave him alone. Like Sam belongs to her pack and isn?t supposed to
create a close relationship to a human.
I wonder if the whole pack are werewolves, as far as I?ve read it hasn?
t been mentioned in the text. But in Sam?s thoughts he thinks of them
with human names, so I think that the whole pack are werewolves.
One day a young policeman named William Koenig comes to Grace?s class
to talk little about his job. But the class soon discovers that he is a
bit nervous and doesn?t know how to deal with the teenagers, and they
immediately start ask questions about Jack Culpeper?s death. A question
asked by a girl named Elisabeth ? if it?s true that Jack?s body was
stolen from the morgue ? becomes the starting point for many questions
and wild speculations. To me it seems like the pressure from the curios
class and teacher at last make William talk a little bit about the
wolfs.
William says that he doesn?t think that the wolves are a threat to the
population, and when someone points out that Grace also was attacked by
the wolves she dismisses the incident and tries to support the
policeman. Because when people remember the wolves attacked her they
remember it could happen to anyone, and Grace is afraid that someone
will decide to go after them. To go after her wolf.
I really recognize the situation when a new person stands in front of
the class and immediately gets judged. The class maybe behave
themselves in the beginning, but if the person seems nervous and doesn?
t tell them to be quiet when they start talking, they immediately lose
their respect for, in this case, William Koenig.
The writer really make the reader feel petty for him, and the detailed
describing of William make me wonder if he?s going to be important
later in the book.
After school Grace and her best friend Olivia go home to Grace?s place.
Olivia really likes taking photos and shows Grace some of them. One of
them pictures Sam, as a wolf, standing in the forest and looking in the
camera. When Olivia notice Grace?s interest in the picture she gives it
to her.
But even though Olivia is the only one who is near understanding Grace?
s fascination for the wolves Grace can?t talk to her about them with
her like she used to. Somehow the wolves, especially Sam, feel too
personal to talk about now.
Later, when Olivia has returned home, Grace stands outside her house
looking at the woods, she suddenly hears a scream. Somebody is calling
for help, and Grace can swear that it sounds exactly like Jack
Culpeper. But that?s impossible! Jack is dead. Or?
Without thinking she runs into the woods, searching for the source of
the screaming. After a wile she almost runs into three wolvers. She
recognizes two of them, ? the white she-wolf and the pack leader ?, but
the third one, a young male, she has never seen before. Everything
about the new wolf, from the colour of his fur till his hazelcoloured
eyes, reminds Grace of Jack. Her head screams human when she looks at
him.
When Grace discovers the three wolves the pack leader and the white she-
wolf are pouching the younger male and forcing him down to the ground,
but when they see Grace they let him go and runs deeper into the woods.
Grace goes back home, but when she no longer sees the young wolf she
doesn?t know if she just imagined that the wolf and Jack was so alike.
This last part woke up a lot of questions in my head, and I think that
is exactly what the writer wants. Of course, I wander if Jack has
become a werewolf or not, I?ve argument both for and against.
If he is a werewolf, it explains a lot of things: Why a new wolf
suddenly appeared just when Jack Culpeper was ?killed?, why the wolf
and Jack where so alike, why Jack?s body was missing from the morgue
and why Grace heard a scream that sound just like him.
But in that case, I? don?t understand how Grace could hear Jack scream
as a human and in the next second meet him in wolf form. Because
considering what I?ve read before in the book the wolf doesn?t have the
possibility to change form whenever they want, they only become humans
in the summer when it gets wormer and wolves in the winter when it?s
cold.
So if Jack is a werewolf, how could he change form so quickly? Maybe it?
s different when you just became a werewolf? I don?t know yet, but I
think I?ll get the answers when I continue reading!

See ya lovers!

Guardians of ga'hoole - fourth and last post

Now I have finally read out the book and it was great. I'm thinking of reading the following books alsow!
The things that have happend since the last updating is that they have started to talk to twilight and are
getting to know him better. He is a owl that have very good locatinon and he helped them to find Soren's
and Gilfy's nest. but their parents where'nt there, they where gone. Then they decided that they would go
or fly to ga'hoole, but they don't know if ga'hoole even existe but in their gizzards they know that it is'nt
just a legende it is the truth. On the way to ga'hool Soren find Mrs.P. and she tells him about Kludd and that Egletine
alsow have been taken to St. Aegolius. They alsow meet a burrowing owl in the desert where they found
Mrs. P. his name was Digger and he have lost his family becaus when his parents where away and hunting
it came tow owl's and murder his brother and eated him up! So he hade to run so he would survive.
After that he havet found home. Then Soren knew that if they all five stick together they can make anything
and they started a trip to ga'hoole in hope that their parents would be there.
I still think that the book was great and it hade a good ending. I like all the owl's in the book or just the god owl's^^
Soren is like the little brother that is listening and learning from his bigger sister Gylfie that is smart, funny and cute
and twilight is like their grandpha or something and Digger is like the scared confused little dog, they are not
that in the book but they seems to be like that. The book hade actually a better ending then I thought :D

Hadrian lended out his white horse to Owen and gave him alot of gifts and treasures to his tribe. Owen had been given a mission by the commander. The task was to tell the tribe chief of the impressive news. Some guards followed Owen to his tribe and asked to talk to the tribe chief and they and they concluded that the Romans were not hostile but were friendly and just wanted to build up the wall.

The wall's name were Hadrian's Wall and are still standing even today.

The end.

The haunting of Ellen - fourth and last post

I have now finished the book, which means that I have read to page 156:In the middle of the night when Ellen was asleep she woke up because she heard a ticking sound. She went to look what it was, and once again the clock was ticking. She didn´t know what to do so she went downstairs. There it was a fire in the hearth and a woman was tending a pot that hung over the fire. The women turned around and said something to a white-haired man who was sitting by the fire, paring the figure of a wooden doll with a short-bladed knife. Ellen recognized the man, it was the same man that she had seen in the garden. The man looked up and smiled at her, it was a loving smile. Then the room seemed to shiver… and Ellen felt like she was herself again.

Ellen told Bella about what had happened that night. They supposed that the man and the women must have seen the girl that Ellen had seen in the mirror, and that the girl was their daughter. They were curios and went to Ellen´s room to see if the ghost tried to write something on paper again. The pen twitched and started writing. I could not tell them. Then it took a break and began writing again. My name is Margaret.

The same day Ellen and Violet went to a store to find information about the back house. In the store they met an old man who told them about a fight between Peadar McShane and Sir John Duvalier. The fight ended up with Sir John dead, shot by his own pistol. Ellen didn´t understand what that had to do with their back house, so she asked the old man. He said that McConell, who lived in the house at that time and who´s daughter loved Peadar McShane, hid Peadar McShane in the house while people were looking for him. One night Peadar McShane slipped away, and was cornered on the cliffs…and then the old man said that they knew the rest of the story.

The old man asked why they were so curious about the back house. Then Ellen told him about the pistol that she had found. The old man went away and when he came back he had a pistol with him. On the pistol it stood JD, so they understood that it must be the “partner” to the pistol that they had found. When they were going to leave Violet said that the man must be John Duvalier, and that it was his great-great-grandfather that McShane killed.

Back to Bon Vista Ellen and Violet discussed what they have heard with Bella. They thought that the old man maybe didn´t knew the truth. They thought that Margret hid Peadar McShane without telling her family about it, because the ghost had wrote I could not tell them. They were curious about what Margaret couldn´t tell her parents, so the three girls, Bella, Ellen and Violet tried to have a séance. Under the séance they asked the ghost things…and got answers. What is your second name? Ellen wrote on the paper and the pen started writing McConnell. The pen did a pause then it wrote I did not die…I could not tell them. The girls’ didn´t understand so they asked what? Then the pen wrote Margaret McConnell. Ellen thought and said that she maybe had an idée of what Margaret wanted to tell them.

The next day they went to the cliff again to look at the poem in the stone. Ellen told them that she thought that Peadar McShane didn´t die when he jumped off the cliff. He hid in the cave, where they have found Terence. He must be the one who wrote the poem in the stone, because no one else could know what had happened.  Margaret went to the cliff every day to see him, and people thought that she was mad. One day she didn´t came home so people thought that she had jumped, but she had run away with Peadar McShane. Ellen explained that it must be what Margaret tries to tell them. Her parents thought that she was dead, and she couldn´t tell them where she was going and had bad conscience about it.

To see if Ellen had right they went down to the cave. They found out that it was possible to walk through the cave and it must have been so Margaret and Peadar McShane had escaped. Ellen felt better now when she knew what Margaret wanted to tell her and that evening the pen wrote Margaret… I sleep. This is what I think of the book:When I had finished the book I was little bit disappointed, because I had hoped that it would happen more things to Ellen, and I don´t know, maybe they could have found I skeleton in the cave. Now it just ends up that Ellen understand the messages’ that they got. So I´m little disappointed. The book started out so good, and I thought that it would be an exciting, unexpected and scary end, but I was wrong.

An other thing that irritated me was that the author didn´t write anything of what year it was, he wrote that the back house was built 1898 (I think).  But he never writs anything of what year it is when Ellen and Bella lives in the house.

The language in the book was rather easy, but some words were different to what I´m used to.

The story reminds me of another book I have read, it is The ghost by the sea by Eileen Dunlop.  That book is also about a ghost in a house, but the story is much more exciting and I would rather recommend it if you want to read a scary story.

Habib: På Farligt Vatten

Jag har läst ut boken.
Det jag senast har läst om handlar om att Habib ska åka tilbaks till Sverige, till Stockholm.
Men först vill hans farmor köpa en handduk med en Åländsk flagga på.
Men det kommer upp ett problem.
Habibs farmor hade inte betalat för handduken. Hon trodde att Habib skulle göra det.
Så dom blir stoppade av en vakt och Habib berättar om vad som har hänt.
När dom blir klara springer dom till båten, men dom missar den.
2 timmar senare åker dom med en annan båt till Stockholm.
När han kommer hem så får han höra att Paris vet vad som har hänt i Åland.
Hon vet att Habib är med en annan tjej på båten, så dom har gjort slut.

Boken var bra för att den var rätt spännande och lite rolig.

Assassin - fourth post

In chapter four in the book Assassin the little boy Owen made it to the roman army's temporary village and stealthed through the whole "village" in the search of the commanders tent. 

Owen wanted to kill him with he's knife he took from he's hut. He saw that the commander had two guards infront of his tent and stealthed around them and made a little hole in the tent and slipped through the hole and there he were sleeping... Hadrian, Commander of the army. Owen raised his knife over he's chest and when he was going to make the blow Hadrian stopped him. He had woken up and wrestled down Owen and screamed for his guards.
