Then she went out to the streets and saw that he saw that the giant threw something to a house with his trumpet and that was all

I was previously trying to read Wuthering Heights, but the old-world language confused me and I had to put it down so that I could prevent a headache. I didn’t even have an idea of what was going on.
Now I am reading the third book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It is called Eclipse. Right now, Edward (the vampire) is talking with Bella (the human) about which college they should go to. But Edward and Bella know the real plan. They love each other very much, and Bella wants to turn into a vampire so that she could be with him. They have decided that at the end of the school year, after Bella’s graduation from high school, they will turn her. I just can’t wait to see what happend next! This book has many twists and turns… Oh, and I forgot about the part that Bella’s prior best friend, Jacob, is a werewolf, and werewolves and vampires have this ongoing fight. Well, there;s a twist for you! Off to read!

Toda I read about the giant taking the kid to his house and how he runned very fast. His house is in a mountain where he takes a rock to enter his home. He looks so interesting. This is a great descriptive book. I really like this book.And I like the auther Roald Dahl

Today I read Chapter 13 of Flight 29 DWN. They have stopped the filming for a while, and are just planning to survive. They have foung vegetbles on the island, and eggs. But they didn’t find the animal that laid them. I hope Amy come back soon. I am so anxious to keep reading.
6 Patricia Liao // Feb 15, 2008 at 12:14 pm
After they travel back in time, they came to a dark, cold place. Emma transformed herself and Eadric to a bat so that they can see in the dark. They accuaaly found some sketotons. I hope there’s nothing that’s going to harm them!!
7 Hernan Vasquez // Feb 16, 2008 at 1:47 pm
What I read today wasabout the BFG talking to sophie the little girl about the taste of humans. Some of the things they said were that Turks taste like turkeys and about the giant named Bonecruncher Which preers to eat turks. Another giant they talked about was the Welly-Eating Giant which prefers to eat humans from wellington, New Zealand that taste like boots. The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) doesn’t eat giants so sophie is now feeling better because she knows that the BFG is not eating her. I like this book alot.
8 Patricia Liao // Feb 18, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Now, Emma, Eadric, and Li’l have to find a way out the cave. They noticed that there were guards there! I wish they woun’t be seen. It IS hard during the old time. I feel sorry for them.
9 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Feb 18, 2008 at 7:10 pm
What I read today was about the BFG tellingsophie why he took her. He took her because she saw him and if he had’nt took her she would have told every one in thewhole world about hima and the would go giant hunting. love this book.
10 Zoe Swaner // Feb 19, 2008 at 8:22 am
Today I continued reading my book called Chicken Soup for the Tennage soul. It’s a great book about girls that share their breath taking stories of life about the new life as a teenager. My story that I read today was about a girl who had just broken up from a realationship and she explains the deppresing times when you get dummped from the love of your life. It’s the best book ever and the stories that these girls brave enough to share are very cherisable…
11 Patricia Liao // Feb 19, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Today I kept on reading. Now that they found a way out the cave, they have to pretend that they were people at that time. Everyone who saw them thought that their colths lok funny. Princess Hazle’s mom invited Emma to a room and let Emma ask her questions. I hope Emma can get enogh information so that she can find the fairy that cast the spell. I want to be as brave as Emma!!! Even if she is afraid, she will still do this hard task because she wants to save her aunt!
12 William John Reid Hernandez // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:40 pm

16 Patricia Liao // Feb 21, 2008 at 11:58 am
I cannot believe that there were dragons and werewolfs at that time! And Eadric is going hunting with some other prince. I hope that he will be safe if he gets attacked by a monster! Ahhhh! This part of the book is one of the scaryest part of the book! You so don’t want to know what it’s happening. But… I still like the book!
17 Angel Contreras // Feb 21, 2008 at 2:23 pm

Today I read about the bloodbottler and that he hates the bfg and that he is 2 times bigger than the bfg. He was ugly and had a big mouth. There wasn’t much to write about today so good bye.
20 Angel Contreras // Feb 25, 2008 at 1:51 pm
The Baundalaire children are in a submarine and they got jobs and sunny prepared the meal chowder a baby making chowder. So the radar captured a signal that was symboled as an eye that was Count Olaf and another symbol appeared that made Olaf run away that was the ? symbol the one eviler than Count Olaf. This is going to be bad…
21 Patricia Liao // Feb 27, 2008 at 8:14 am
Now, Emma and princess Hazle went to find the fairy. This is rediculous! I cannot believe that harpies are attacking them! So Emma used magic to curse the harpies. The king thought that princess Hazle was the one that did this. He didn’t know that Emma knew magic. But Emma didn’t want people to know that she is the Green Witch. Phew! I am relieved!
22 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Feb 27, 2008 at 8:20 am
Today sophie was thirsty and the only drink was the frobscottle which said was wrong because the bubbles were going down. Then the bfg explained why. It was because noemal sods make you burp. This soda makes you fart and giants like farts.
23 Zoe Swaner // Feb 27, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Speak is one of the best books ever. its is great for a 7th grade, the new kid is very unique has there own feelings. High school is a tough grade to be welcomed into especially if you can not meet any new friends and every one thinks that you are a freak and a clueless teenager. today this new girl felt left out, by being the new kid. The teens at high school are not pleasent so just be youseld.
24 Patricia Liao // Feb 28, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Oh! Emma finally finds out why the fairy wants to curse Princess Hazel. Princess Hazel did not recieve a bouqet of flower from Hazle. I finally understand why the family is allergic to flower. It is so simple! It’s just that the fairy is mad! I would feel so strange if I were Princess Hazel. I would not believe that fairies get mad.
25 Karla Alvarez // Feb 28, 2008 at 4:23 pm
wow! why did Alicia just stop being Massie’s wannabe? They were like friends for like pre-k and now they fight? what friends are these..well i hope massie and alcia become friends again.
26 William John Reid Hernandez // Feb 28, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Today I read chapter 18 of Flight 29 DWN. There is still no sign of Amber. I am so worried! The kids are falling apart. They are not trusting on each other. They might not survivie! Or who knows, maybe something happens. I am so anxious to keep reading:D !!!
27 William John Reid Hernandez // Feb 28, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Today I read chapter 19 of Flight 29 DWN. When the hope had been lost, Amber and Ashley came back! Ashley was full of cuts, she was really hurt. She said a wild jabali attacked her in the mountain, but she was able to kill it, and eat it. Ashley has changed a lot since she had left. I now don’t trust her. I am so anxious to keep reading.
!!!
28 Meghan Egan Reid // Feb 29, 2008 at 1:04 pm
The book im reading is about a b nasty old man named count olaf who is after the baudelaire fortune which i believe they would never let him get to it. this is one of the best series you could ever think of. it has suspense, mistery, and humour.
29 William John Reid Hernandez // Feb 29, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Today I read chapter 20 of Flight 29 DWN. They are taking care of Ashley. It seems as if she had been shot! But it was a tigers teeth stuck in her chest! Amber is finally doing her work. I am so anxious to keep reading!
30 Patricia Liao // Mar 2, 2008 at 7:53 am
On the way when Emma went to find the fairy, she saw a furious dragon! She quickly used her magic to fight back the dragon. Because of that, the other people that saw her knew that she was a witch. Everyone was scared. I wish Emma would be safe. I also feel bad for Emma. Wahhhhh!!!
31 Hernan Vasquez // Mar 2, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I read about the BFG wanted to go to the dreaming country but some problems stopped him before getting there. The problems he had where that he went through all the bigger giants which what did with him was play and throw him in the air until they got tired and let him go after he let him go he went running withsophie to the dream country.

33 Patricia Liao // Mar 4, 2008 at 12:15 pm
After Emma tells the dragon to leave and to not eat human, she quickly goes back to the castle. They were preparing for the big party. Emma helped with them. That night, she couldn’t fall asleep. She woke up Eadric and went outside. They transformed into bats when they went out so that nobody can see them. They saw a Prince hanging out too. They decided to follow him. Eadric and Emma accually saw that Prince turning into a vampire! Could Emma’s ancestor be a vampire?? What a scary thought!
34 Angel Contreras // Mar 4, 2008 at 1:32 pm
The Baundalaire children managed to escape the ? and survived another chapter. Whenever the children tried to ask the captain what did the ? mark mean he changed the subject. And the children told the captain they had to get to hotel denouncement before Thursday and it was sunday. So when they finished dinner they left for hotel denouncement. And if the ? finds them they are doomed.
35 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Mar 4, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Today the bfg took the nightmare and put in the flessbumpeater so he had the biggest night mare. So when he had the nightmare all the giants started fighting and were almost killing each other then the bfg was happy.
36 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 4, 2008 at 6:23 pm

!!!
37 Patricia Liao // Mar 5, 2008 at 12:25 pm
After Emma and Eadric find out that a Prince is a vampire, they quickly go back to the castle to tell Princess Hazle. They were just in time and the big party just started. They got to know 4 witches, which were really nice to them. They also so a LOT of fairies flying all over the ceiling. I wish they can find out which one is the “Angry” fairy!!
38 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 5, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Today I read chapter 2 of Volume 2 of flight 29 DWN. Ashley just tried to ate Spad! She’s more crazy! But she got caught and punsihed, they had to made like “a little prison” for her and who ever does things like this. I just wonder what would happen next…I am so anxious to keep reading :D!!!
39 Meghan Egan Reid // Mar 5, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Im still reading The End, right now they are on an island with these weird native people that drink a lot of coconut cordial. All of these people think that this man is the boss but he is really lying, I think.
40 Angel Contreras // Mar 6, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Ms.Guzman the children went into the grotto and they found an underwater facillity. So they start exploring and 5 minutes later the deadly musroom that kills you in 10 min came out of the sand and the worst part is the mushrooms move. So when the mushrooms went down again the children left and one of the childrens diving helmet had a poisonous spore from the mushroom. So one of the kids will die but which one will it be?
41 Franklin // Mar 6, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Today I have read Eat This
365 reasons to Stop Dieting.
Its a funny book. its also easy and includes some good facts. There are good alternatives to dieting that are more effective. Because as the book says DIETS DON’T WORK and they make you feel crabby.
42 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Mar 6, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Today I started a new book about Harret Tubman. What I read today talked about her being a kid and a slave. They whipped very hard. She missed her home alot but couldn’t say it because they would have whipped her then. I love biographies espeially this one.
43 Patricia Liao // Mar 7, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Um… What happened to this blog?? Now, it’s all fancy and stuff! Back to the topic… Emma finally heard the curse!!! It was a swanp fairy that casted the spell. And I can NOT believe that princess Hazle is so selfish. She even made fun of the fairy. And that is exactly why the fairy casted the spell. Now that Emma know the curse and who said the curse, she has to travel back to the normal time and do the rest of the work, which I hope she would make it.
44 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 7, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Today I read Chapter 3 of Flight 29 DWN. Ashley got caught trying to escape from the “jail” end got killed by a jabali. The guys didn’t care so much since she had become evil. But they did killed the jabali and ate it. They said that was their favorite meal. Yuck! Discusting! Do you imagine eating a jabali…I am so anxious to keep reading!!!
45 Patricia Liao // Mar 10, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Now that Emma and Eadric are back in their lod time, they noticed something fairly wierd. Whenever someone speaks, bubbles come out of the. There is no doubt about who did that. Grassina- Emma’s aunt. Because they know the curse, they went off to see the swamp fairy. She said that she was not going to undo the spell because Hazle was SO rude. So they went to Haywood. It says that a true love’s kiss would undo the spell. Haywood loved Grassina, but not now!! She is the nastiest witch ever! Oh! How on the world are they going to undo the spell??
46 franklin // Mar 10, 2008 at 2:12 pm
today i read 365 reasons to stop dieting
47 franklin // Mar 10, 2008 at 2:14 pm
its very funny its tells you abouts something that are bettrer than dieting. like dancing well the action of eating burns 65 calories an hour. I consider this book a comedy.
48 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Mar 10, 2008 at 5:46 pm
What I read today was about the Kid, harriet being send to clean a room an if she did it wrong they hit her very hard until the masters wife sister came and told her to stop. Then harriet went back to her home ( she goes back on weekend) and went to church with her family.

50 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 10, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Today I read chapter 4 of Flight 29 DWN. Now they are really thinking, that they really cared about Ashley, but since she passed away, there is nothing that could be done. At the begining Ashley was the one that was most excited of all. But then she realizes where their all cought into. Unfortunetly, she did’t tell anyone what she saw! I am si anxious to keep reading.
51 Patricia Liao // Mar 11, 2008 at 10:46 am
Now, I think I understand why this book is called “Once Upon a Curse”. The curse that is set on Emma’s family is from a long time ago, and it is a curse that the fairy put. Now, everything makes sense! But… Will Emma and Eadric outwit the fairy??? I’m so eager to keep reading!
52 Angel Contreras // Mar 11, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Ms.Guzman the Baundalaire child that had the poisonous mushroom is the one that has the shortest life the baby Sunny. So the children have to get the antidote (horseradish) to save Sunny. Another bad thing is Olaf captured the submarine and a the worst part is a horrible dance to horrible (and stupid) to see.
53 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Mar 11, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Today harriet had Ideas to protect from Ms.susan. One of her ideas was to put more cloth to protect from the whip. Then after a while Ms.Susan beated up harriet again so in the night harriet escaped. When she escaped she got sick and got broncitis and they discovered her and took her to the house again. The Ms .Susan Gave harriet back to master brodas and said that she didn’t want her. So i think they ar gong to send her back to her home. This is a great biography

I’m reading this new book called “Adeline Falling Star”. It’s about a girl that is half white and half indian. Her nickname is Falling Star because there were meteors falling from the sky when she was born. Because she is half Indian, she works at her aunt’s house when her mother is gone. (By the way… her aunt is white.)She hates it there because they treat Adeline badly. How I wish she could escape!!!
61 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 25, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Today I read chapter 8 of Flight 29 DWN. Due to Ambers progressive skills, her freinds have organized a surprise party for her. The were all chilling, having some fun. At 10 p.m. the wind was blowing hard, and the rain thundering on the roof, which was alike a carpet. I am so anxious to keep reading.
62 Patricia Liao // Mar 26, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Even though Adeline’s mom is dead, she still talks to her when she prays. Adeline can hear her mom’s voice inside her heart. But her prayers got cut when she heard someone talking. It was her aunts telling each other that Adeline’s dad is not comming back. This is a very sad book.
63 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 26, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Today I read chapter 9 of Flight 29 DWN. A storm is coming to the deserted island! They are all getting prepared for this big catastrofy that is about to happen. I am so anxious to keep reading!
64 Meghan Egan Reid // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:39 pm
The book that I am currently reading is called Eragon. Most people know the movie and not the book. But they are actually very different. At the beginning this woman is running away from urgals,monsters, they are looking for the dragon egg which she has. As she runs away the urgals kill her elf companions. Like most people in the book she is a witch with magical powers. So she pooffed the egg somewhere that i dont know yet.
65 Meghan Egan Reid // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Eragon
The witch poofed the egg to where Eragon was hunting. He was in the spine, a group of mountains that a lot of people are scared of. It is said that if you go there you die but it is not true because Eragon had go ne there many times already and has come back well. So first he thought that the egg was a rare rock that he thought would be dangerous to carry but then he thought he could trade it for food since he had not caught anything.
66 Meghan Egan Reid // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Eragon
When he got down the mountain he went to the butchery where the man who owns it is called Sloan, not a very nice man. When he was about to trade the “rock” sloan asked where he got it and eragon answered the spine so sloan didnt trade him because his wife had died there.This man named horst bought the meat for Eragon.
67 Meghan Egan Reid // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Eragon
While Eragon still struggles to find out what the “rock” really is he is dealing with another problem his cousin Roran is leaving to work on a mill because he needs money and wants to get married Eragon will miss him very much.
68 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 27, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Today I read chapter 10 of Flight 29 DWN. They are all prepared for the big storm, but they still don’t now how bad its going to be, so they better watch out. I am so anxious to keep reading!
69 Patricia Liao // Mar 30, 2008 at 11:21 am
Adeline kept on thinking if they are just tricking her or if they are telling the truth. She prayed every siingle day. She can even talk to her mom’s spirit when she prays. Once, she was praying, she accidentally started to wisper aloud. Her aunt heard her, and she said, “Kep all your secretes to yourself, girl,” That MUST have ment something……
70 Patricia Liao // Mar 31, 2008 at 4:27 pm
At last! Adeline already found out that her dad is comming back for her!!! She danced with joy. Her aunt made her wear some nice clothes. It was an elegant bule dress with a wig. She needed to use a wig so that no one would see that she chopped off her braids. Her aunt said that she looked so much like her dauter who died in an accident. She was suddenly very sad.
71 William John Reid Hernandez // Mar 31, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Today I read chapter 11 of Flight 29 DWN. The storm is devastating them. The wind blows harder every second and the rain doesn’t stop. There is even a thunder storm! I hope their tents don’t get ruined. I am so anxious to keep reading!

Finally, the big day came. She went to the place where her dad said that he would meet her. But whe waited and waited. But her dad never came. She was really sad. When she got back to her cousin’s house, they were surprised that her dad abandoned her. They thought that they could wash out Adeline’s Indian blood. Her cousins even took all her belongins away and burnt it. Adeline screamed and ran away. I hope she’s ok!!

Adeline and her companion, the dog, kept on heading for the Mississippi River. But Adeline was too weack because of her wound. She had to rest. She cured her wound herself using Arpaho medicine. It was smart. But now, she needed to drink water and needed to eat. She hadn’t been eating for days! I wish she can find another smart way to keep herself from starving.
80 Patricia Liao // Apr 8, 2008 at 12:20 pm

As Adeline and the dog paddle on the river, getting closer to the mississippi river, they wee someone in front of them. It was a few boys that were paddling on the river. Adeline quickly thought of a smart way. She pretended that she was a civilized girl and waved at them. Then, she paddled full speed away the boys!!

88 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 14, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I am sorry Ms.Guzman but I did not find my book so I read another one and today I will write about it>
Today I read chapter one of “Harriet Tubman”. This chapter in my opinion was really sad for me . I figured myself like Minty, a small child away from my family, and another perosn treating me like a slave and hiiting me . She couldn’t even go to sleep because she had to rock the baby. It was really a deppresive reading.
89 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 14, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Chapter 2 was much more sad for me bacause Minty had sundays to be with her mother and thean go back to be a slave at Miss Susan’s house. Her mother gave her words of confort , so Minty was strong enough when she went back and decided to run away one day. She did but she got sick and was taken back, it seems to me this is the start of Minty not being a Baby anymore and fight to be someone important.
90 Meghan Egan Reid // Apr 15, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Eragon finally found out what the rock is. One night he heard a crack and it was the rock. it wasnt a rock it was an egg of a dragon. So he brought him some food. That morning he took the dragon that he named Saphira to the forest and made her a little house.
91 Meghan Egan Reid // Apr 15, 2008 at 2:52 pm
ErAgOn
This book is so interesting. Eragon noticed that Saphira could hunt for her own food. So he didnt mind for bringing her food.
92 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 16, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I am still reading the book “Harriet Tubman”, and it is getting more interesting although more deppressing I really can’t understand slavery and people that are taken away their liberty it is really sad. Minty escaped and went back home to her mother. In this cahpter I found out that she had other sisters that were sold and taken away along time ago, also that slaves that got to cross to pennsylvania were free. One of Minty’s friend tried to escape and bacause minty did’t stop her she got hit by a weight an her head and was really hurt.
93 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 16, 2008 at 7:59 pm
In this next chapter I read all about of Minty’s recuperation, she was taken care by everyone while she was unconcious. When she started to recover she learnes that her owner wanted to sell her and she started to pray for him to be dead and it happen, she really felt she was responsible for his death. Afterwards Minty started seeing visions :angels but no one believed her. In my opinion she took the best descision of all : she was not telling any one again of her visions.
94 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 16, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Harriet was still a slave for young master Brodas, but she was earning extra money to some day pay off her liberty. One day John Tubman began escorting her. Harriet wanted to marry him and got permission fron her master. He gave her permission and they got marry.
95 Patricia Liao // Apr 17, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Well… Now, I’m starting a new book called, “The Wills Place”. As you can see, it’s a scary story. And the beginning introduction I S scary. It’s about two children, Dianne and George, living on a ghost hill that they didn’t even notice. The introduction only gives me a few clues, but I’m sure that this would be a spooky book. Don’t read it at night!!!
96 Patricia Liao // Apr 21, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Ok, because I found a really good book in the library, I had to stop reading “The Wills Place.” The new book is accually called Alicia in April. She thinks that April is the crulest month. I don’t know why yet. But I want to keep reading!
97 franklin Valdez // Apr 21, 2008 at 7:40 pm
this book a gentleman gets dressed up
this book teaches me alot of cools thing one very important quote is ” A well-dressed gentleman knows that, once he left the party, it is not his clothes that will be remembered. Instead, his freinds, new and old, will comment on the pleasure of his comments and the charm of his conversation. Being a gentlemen,those qualiteies are the essentials of his everyday wardrobe, no matter which necktie be choose to go with his shirt.”
98 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 22, 2008 at 6:19 pm

After days of running in the dark , she came to a couple’s house who were both white and after saying the secret password the couple invited her in and treated Harriet like a white person.
103 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 29, 2008 at 8:52 pm
In the house that Harriet stayed for 3 days Harriet was surprised thatg she slept in a bed similar to the one Ms.Susan slept in, she was given food , money and cloths and they explained her the way to get to the border and be free.
104 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 29, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Harriet walked day and night to get to the border to freedom. When she finally got there she was extremely surprised, she was received by a white men and given cloths and he also got her a job, he gave her money to buyherself food at first. Harriet could not believe she could buy soap instead of buying it , and the first time that her boss talked to her as if she was a slave she quitted her job, Harriet was happy but she still thought about her family and the possibility that she could free them also.
105 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // Apr 29, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Harriet started to plan as she learned to live free , how to help the others left behind to be free like her. She worked hard but as a free person not as a slave.

Well… I found out that they live in France. Not Pi, but his really good friend. Pi used to live in India- a pretty scary place, huh? He said that he LOVED the food there. Once, in the US, he went to an Indian restaurant. He was going to use his hands, when suddenly, he found out that the waitor was staring at him. That really hurt his reelings. Poor Pi!

Harriet had a hard time learning to be free, only prayers helped her when she become anxious because iat was not easy for her acting as free when all her life she lived like a slave, having others rule her life. She was learning to do alot of things having always in her mind her family left behind.
115 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // May 8, 2008 at 6:52 pm

116 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // May 8, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Harriet decided that with all the money she had saved while working in the last year she was going back to Maryland to help her niece mary ann be freed and bring her back. It was going to be difficult but she would do for her niece well being and so that her niece’s master did’t get her to marry anyone.
117 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // May 8, 2008 at 7:04 pm
harriet went back to get Mary ann, at first she was scared to go alone with harriet but than she said that if her parents go to she would go and that was what happen. Harriet tried to go visit her husband john but maryy ann said it was not a good idea to do so, she did’t say why, so Harriet decided that in her next trip she would go do so.
118 Hernan Vasquez Hazim // May 8, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Harriet did several trips to bring back to free land to varios family members and various slaves, sometimes it was dangerous and almost was caught by white men but the always did it and got free.
119 Patricia Liao // May 13, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Oh my gosh! The internet is finally working in my computer! Well… By the way, when I did not have access to the internet, I found another book to read. It’s called Alice on the Outside. It’s a pretty crazy book, if you want my real comment. It’s all about school life and… It’s just basically about life. I’m at the part when Alice and her two best friends, Palmela and Elisabeth, were preparing to go to a party that everyone was waiting for. I have no idea at all what is going to happen next. I hope nothing goes wrong!!!
120 Laura Losmozos // May 13, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Hi Guzi, I’m reading a book where…
Oh. I’m in the wrong class…

BACK TO CLASS B!!! (which is, BTW, so much better that class G. Oh-viously.)
121 Patricia Liao // May 14, 2008 at 1:15 pm
The dance night is here! And Alice was waiting for Patrick to pick her up. But then, Patrick called. He said that he had a really bad flu and he couldn’t go to the dance. I feel so bad for Alice! She is totally out of luck! But she still went to the dance anyways. And you know what happened? EVERYONE WANDTED TO DANCE WITH HER! After the dance, she passed Patrick’s house and gave him something from the dance. What a great night everyone had!
122 Patricia Liao // May 16, 2008 at 11:25 am
When Alice happily returned home, she found a note that she hadn’t read inside a present where Patrick gave her. She was very curious. She unfolded it and read. Well… the note was about Patrick that he couldn’t take Alice to the dance. He was really, really, sorry. He wished that he was aable to go and asked Alice if she danced with another boy. Alice smiled and went to sleep peacefully.
123 Patricia Liao // May 19, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Um… why am I the only one that is doing homework? Do you still need to do blog after you read like five books? Oh well… whatever… Back to the topic, I think I would like a lot where Alice is living right now. It is called Silver Springs. I think eventhough Alice does talk about it alot, it still matters a lot to the story.
124 franklin Valdez // May 19, 2008 at 6:28 pm

The book that I’m reading, “Once Upon a Marigold”, is the best book in teh world. Feels like as if it is especially made for comedy and adventure lovers. The author accually puts in a little bit of romance too. One of the best books I’ve ever read.
132 Patricia Liao // May 31, 2008 at 9:24 am
Well… I was previously reading a book basically about dogs. It’s preety interesting, especially for dog lovers. It gives you all you need before getting a dog and how to train them. The book also tells you about the nutrition needs of a dog and some dog recipies. If you have problems of a book or if you want to get a dog, you should check this book right out of the library.
