In this reading Tennyson follows Brewster to his house in hopes to find something horrible about his life style. While Tennyson is stalking Brewster, he finds that Brewsters brother comes out side crying and runs to hug their pet bull. After minutes fly by, he figures out that the bull is seconds from death. At this point, Brewsters uncle comes out side and makes rude and harsh comments and jokes about their beloved bull. Then the uncle pulls out his belt and begins to whip Brewsters little brother thats when Tennyson finds himself yelling stop. Immanently Tennyson runs after Brewsters uncle with his lacrosse stick for perfection but has no attention of using it in a violent way. Now Tennyson and the evil uncle are standing face to face.

In this reading there was Dramatic irony because Tennyson went to Brewsters house thinking he would find drugs and dead bodies but as the reader I new there was nothing like that in the house.

I think I found a small theme in this book which is don't judge a book by its cover, because by looking at Brewster Tennyson thought he would be doing a lot of bad stuff when really he's a nice kid.

p 3-33
So far in this book it's kinda a background of the characters. Seems like there are three main characters a brother a sister and the sisters boyfriend, Brewster. Slowly, the author has been hinting to what the book is about through characteristics of the characters. For example, When Brewster took of his shirt while in the locker room his girlfriends brother noticed bruises all over his back, this is a symbol to the title of the book. Another example is, the brother not liking his sisters boyfriend Brewster and trying to break them up, sometimes by physically threatening him. All these examples lead me to think soon there is going to be bigger conflict than trying to break up a relationship. In the book I haven't reach any sort of climax yet but I have hopes I will soon.

The style of writing in this book is a lot of dialogue and a lot of explaining what the character is thinking i don't see much description.

The euphony of the dialog is very good. The sentences flow well with each other and conversations in this book seem very natural and realistic.

Of Mice and Men 31-39

In this reading Lennie complaints on how the farm is mean and how he wants to leave. Also slims dog gave birth to puppies. After Lennie heard about the pups he immanently wanted one and told George to ask for him. After years of wanting some kind of pet Lennie finally got one. Slim and George rabble on about how Lennie is a nice fella even and so he would hurt curly if it came down to it. After talking about Lennie slim continues to ask George why they got chased out of Weed. even after reading this a second time there is still suspense.

Of Mice and Men page 21-30

In this reading George and Lennie first meet curly. When they first meet him he tries to size up against Lennie, after he did so he started pounding him with questions. George,the responsible brother for Lennie, answered the question which got Curly mad. After Curly was satisfied he left and walked away. Not to longer after his wife finds George and Lennie and flirts with them in a sly way. George didn't fall for her scheming tricks but Lennie was falling in love with her. George , noticing Lennie, told him to stay away from her or they would have trouble. I think in my next reading Lennie and Curly will get in a fight.

Of Mice and Men
p#11-20

 For the first time Lennie says he can leave if George doesn't him he says he will live in a Cave. Also Lennie apologizes fro asking for ketchup.  Lennie design of saying sorry shows me that his not completely gone in the head. Furthermore George tells the story of the rabbits. Lennie and Georges dream is to own their own lad with multiple colored rabbits and to live off the land. Bored and in need of a conversation, Lennie brings up their dream and asks George to tell of their dream. George tells the dream of living on their own from start to finish and leaves Lennie satisfied. Surprisingly on page 20 George and Lennie began the journey on working on the new ranch. I will forever love this book.

Of Mice and Men
p# 1-10
After reading the begging for a second time i noticed or payed attention to other things. For example, the beginning of the book is only description, i took the time to makes sure i understood ever detail. Furthermore, in this part of reading Lennie kills his first mouse. The reason Lennie killed this mouse is because he doesn't know his own strength. Lennie meant to be rental with this small delicate creature but his big powerful hands denied him from gently stroking the mouse. Also George gets mad at Lennie for asking ketchup. While George was generously making beans for Lennie, the only food they had, Lennie started to complain because they had no Ketchup. George got very furious and yelled at Lennie with no mercy until he was done.

The forgotten beast of Eld

P3-7

This reading was about a wizard and a poor lady that lived in a king city of Mondor. The wizards name was Heald. Heald has two eyes that are only black. The book said on page 3 that the wizard is slow and sluggish. The wizard has three horses and even a pet beast. Another characteristic of the wizard is he has a rough voice until he touches a dog. After he touches dogs his voice becomes sweet and soft. I’m not sure if I'm going to continue this book because it seems to unrealistic to me.
