Since the summer reading project I've discovered the Throne of Glass sires and it's a pretty good one I must add. during the summer I finished book 1 and 2 and i am still waiting for 3. I would blog about book 2 but I don't know if i can b/c technically I finished it before I started my reading blog so oh well. but beside the point the book I am reading until book 3 comes out is The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. I did read it in 7th grade but I like the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit books so I am re-reading it. My logic on re-reading a book because there are going to be details that I have missed and I want to go back and pick those details up.And let me say I've missed a lot of details since the first time I read the book.
But I'm OK with missing the details because I like when I've read a book and re-read it and found some detail that I missed. Along with the details the Hobbit from the first time I read it i liked the book. I do know a lot of people who cannot stand the books but I personally like the story it has. I like that the story goes into detail about every event and it's back story. But I will say this the Lord Of the Rings and Hobbit books are not for everyone, it is the type of book that you choose to read. you can't just pick it up and expect to be sucked into the book right away. The hobbit is a book that you read because you want to. if not you will hate the book from page 1.
Well those are some of my thoughts on the Hobbit. obviously not everything or else this blog would be way to long. With the amount of content of the book I could be blogging about it long after I finish the book and started a new one.

Summer reading: Throne of Glass By Sarah J. Maas
Summer reading, You can either be assigned a good book to read that you enjoy. Or a book that is so boring that every page turn is excruciatingly painful and you want nothing to do with that book. I know at least someone has been there at least once. But that is nt the case with Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Yes I know this year we did have an option for the book we read and there were probably some boring titles in the list (meaning Books I wouldn't choose to read but other people may choose some of them and enjoy the books). But anyway Throne Of Glass, This book is AMAZING. Almost everything about it was well done in this book. But for the sake of this post I will highlight option B. "Analyze how complex characters develop over the courses of the story and how they interact with other characters , and advance the plot or develop the theme". For this post I will analyze main character Celaena Sardothien. In the book at the beginning she is portrayed as a ruthless heartless assassin that is locked away in a mine as a slave. As the book progresses we see that there is more to her than that. We get to see her develop as a person and what she is feeling throughout the book.
First with her interactions with other characters. Very early on we are introduced to the 2 of the other major characters in the book . The Captain of the Guard Chaol Westfall, and the Crown Prince of Adarlan Dorian Havillard. Later in the book another character is introduced Princess Nehemia Ytger. Her interactions with the most of the characters is a negative one mostly because she dosen't trust any of them.
Second How the complex character helps devolve the plot. In this boo the character Celaena helps develop the plot because the book is a window into her life. The book is told in a way that you know what she's feeling and thaw with an already well developed plot line makes for a great and enjoyable story.
