So. Here I am, blogging after all, despite many technical problems, all of which were solved by Mindy, and if she's reading this blog she'll be saying something like, this kid is using too many commas. So what if I am? Isn't the beauty of blogging not being grammatically correct at all??? Thanks a lot, Mindy!!!
I think I'm getting off topic. So. I'm umm reading Gulliver's travels, and despite the fact that it is an interesting, fantastical adventure (the kind of book I like to read) it happens to have been written in the 18th century, which is why the author always says "hath" and stuff.
But despite the fact this is a really old book, it still gets my attention and doesn't make me bored. (Blink, the book I 1/4 read before this book made me really bored.)
But other than the fact that it's written in the 18th century, I'm not gonna give anything away so my final blog is unique. And plus, I asked Mindy how much we should blog and she said to do a couple of little blogs while reading, and to do a big one at the end. So... that's that.
P.S. If you want to know what the picture on my profile is, you'll have to either ask me by blog or in person.
Good job talking a lot about Gulliver's Travels while not actually saying anything at all. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, Ruli, your commas were pristine :-)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like Gulliver's Travels. What made you choose it, out of curiosity? He has a very dry sense of humor. A morbid view of things. After you finish, read his essay called "A Modest Proposal." Not what you think. (In fact, maybe I'll have you guys read it in class... )
Gullivers travels seemed like an interesting adventure, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSounds fascinating :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I'm reading old books that speaketh in Olde English regarding about which you spoketh above...
ReplyDeleteI can't get through them. It's pretty dense. Even if the story's good, it's hard to do auto-translate and it's hard to try and relate to the books.
P.S. Blink is good--but not as good as the first one, The Tipping Point. Try them again in a few years and see if you still think they're boring. The guy who can predict divorces is pretty cool, no?
