Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables
Lucy Maud Montgomery
188 Pages


   Anne of Green Gables  is the story of the trial and errors of Anne Shirley, an orphan adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. The Cuthberts expect a quiet, hardworking boy, but get a talkative girl instead. Anne ends up going to school and working hard to become a teacher. I recommend this book for everyone.

Alex Rider Bleets

Bleets on some books I recently read.


Point Blank
Anthony Horowitz
274 pages, double paged

                     
     After the mysterious killing of two billionaires whose sons both attend the same school, Alex Rider is sent on a mission at Point Blank, which is in the Swiss Alps, and is the same school the billionaires' sons attend. Alex learns the boys who attend Point Blank are being replaced with clones of Point Blank's headmaster, and will cause trouble if they inherit any of their parents' fortune. Strongly recommended for anyone who loves action.




Skeleton Key
Anthony Horowitz
327 pages, double paged

                    
  When Chinese triads are after Alex, Alex is sent on a mission with the CIA to investigate Alexei Sarov, in which Alex's "CIA spy chaperones", Carver and Troy, are killed while sneaking on to Sarov's private island. Alex discovers Sarov is going to set the world at war by blowing up radioactive submarines in Russia, which will form radioactive clouds that would drift throughout the world. Sarov's plan is stopped because he committed suicide. Recommended to everyone who likes the subject of nuclear war, action, or spies.

Eagle Strike

   Alex Rider: Eagle Strike
   Anthony Horowitz
   322 pages, double paged

      In Alex Rider: Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider wants Damian Cray investigated, but MI6, Alex's "employer" in the spy business, will get in trouble if they do. Because of this, Alex decides to investigate Cray by himself. In the process of investigating Cray, Alex discovers Cray is going to kill millions of people by firing missiles at drug factories all around the world. Finally, Cray kidnaps Alex and overtakes the Air Force One, where he takes Alex and Cray's minions; a fight breaks out and Cray is killed, and, the world is once again saved by Alex Rider, reluctant teen superspy.  
     

     Alex Rider shows many character traits, but he mainly shows bravery. For example, in Eagle Strike, Alex is being shot at with a machine gun, yet he still finds the courage and bravery to dodge and jump down a pipe from the 10th story of a building! Another example of Alex's bravery is when he was captured and thrown into an area based off of a video game, he showed bravery by "cheating" his way out of the area. A final example of Alex Rider's bravery is even as he had been shot and cracked a rib, he continued to fight Damian Cray until Cray died. Obviously, Alex Rider is very brave and valorous.
                    
                               

My song

  My song is the Nutcracker Suite, composed by Tchaikovsky. I chose this as my song because it was the very first piece, and my favorite, of classical music I ever heard. Also, it reminds me of Christmastime (the most wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time of the year), which is a very happy time for me.
