droppin’ pennies like i’m the good saint k…

Dear peoples,
hope you’re having a good weekend – or good week – whenever you read this (except for if you’re reading this Christmas Day – in which case, STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER AND GO SEE WHAT SANTA LEFT YOU – honestly, some people…)

let’s see, last week i read…

“justice: what’s the right thing to do?” by sandel – great book – enjoyed it a ton – written by a professor at harvard – lots of topics and matters i’d studied in high school debate – sandel brought in real-world examples which made the book all that more enjoyable

i’ve now started “dracula” by stoker – it’s pretty good, 100 pages in – sort of like frankenstein – peoople were more easily scared back then, i guess:) anyway, the book is told through the POVs of different characters – dracula sort of comes and goes – he’s currently at castle dracula in transylvania with his three women – i think he’s coming to london soon though in the book

in magazines, i read about the cincy reds and how they plan to win the NL central (by playing the cubs as often as they can) – i’m also reading all my alabama articles from the b’ham news (the article about the groundskeeper today and the nutritionist yesterday were both interesting reads) – i read the book of genesis last week – pretty bloody opening round book of the Bible…

hope your reading goes well

sincerely,
maf

  1. Hey Mr. Mayfeild,
    Okayy so I read Breaking Dawn and well I am debatin on which one I want to do so I think that i am going to do both. Well the two that I am going to do are POV change and Character Traits.:)
    Okayy so if you haven’t read the book you don’t know that the book is seperated into 3 parts and it is a patern that goes like this Bella Jacob Bella. Well I am on book two pg. 224 and that book is Jacob. And I am going to start off with the POV and this is how I am going to do it, see book 2 is all seen from Jacob’s side and so if the point of veiw changes it could either be through Bella or through Edward. And I chose Edward!!!
    Okayy so if the point of veiw changed to Edward this is what I think would happen:
    1: He would have already known that the pack was going to attack.
    2: He could have of prevented Bella from the pain that she is having.
    and that is all i could come up with with the information i was recived when I read the short passage for 30 minutes.!.
    Okayy so now I am going to do the Character Traits. So here we go:
    Jacob:
    1: Thoughtful,Honest,Loving,Compassionate,Joyful,Works for what he wants, lives life to the fullest. 🙂 :p 😀
    Edward:
    1: Thoughtful (can read minds :D), Compassionate, dull, a go getter. Well I hope you like it and I pray you like it!!!
    -LUV:) RAYCHEL:) 😀 :p ☻☺♥♦

  2. i am reading a book called ” The Palace of laughter”. Its part of the Wednesday No. one book in the series. Ireally enjoy this book in a lot of ways. The title is good for this book because in the beginning its at a circus. I think of the circus as a place of laughter. Only that the circus only come at night. Only one person is to witness the circus arrival. A small boy, huddled in a large wooden barrel high on the side of the hill watched the rising of the big top. He was closed his eyes for a moment a when he opened them he didn’t know how much time passed. but every thing wasn’t right like it was when his eyes were opened. A fuzzy picture showed up. It was a Bengal tiger!/ Know i am going to do a authors purpose. The authors purpose was to entertain. I like how he describe the Bengal tiger when the boy wakes up. It was a shape with a huge head, enormous paws and a long striped tail. i think i will enjoy this book. Thank you if you read this.

Finn is now recently captured after openng a door into another wing of Incarceron which turns to disaster when Kiaro, Finns oathbrother, steals a sheep and while Gilas, a wise man, and Finn are captured Kiaro just runs with a servant who saved his life but Finn took pity n it before he realized that the servant was predenting to be an animalistic type creature with sores and grim all around it.

This is my last blog on the Hunger Games and I left oof where they were dropped off at the ceremony where they wore their costumes and were cheered on by the whole capitol. They came to the training center where they would be spending there next week. She goes in and sees all the other contestantswere. They were led up to level 12 where they would be spending there time. She walks into her bedroom and it is really fancy. There is everything she wants at her fingertips. She gets ready and eats a snack from an automatic food machine. She is called down to dinner where she meets Haymitch. Effie, and Peeta. They all start to eat when she starts to get suspicious of one of their waitresses.

  6. I’m still reading how to cheat a dragons curse. Tonight I am going to compare this book to the other book I just read, fire star. One comparison is that both characters are trying to save some one they are fond of. Also both books are about dragons. A third thing is that they are both fighting something that way more powerful than them.
