The Start of "The Devil In The White City"

Well I started my second book "Devil In The White City", so far I love the book its giving me a great history lesson. Did you know that the Sears Tower is not the first skyscraper in Chicago it was some other building that was only ten stories high. I'm starting to get into this book but at first I thought that the book was going to be boring because it only talked about the architechture in Chicago. Then its started talking about this underground group of murderers who got the message of the World's Fair being hosted in Chicago are plotting something against the people to make it unforgettable. I think that they are gonna kidnap some important people that attend it because they talked about how sometimes they would jsut kidnap celebrities for fun and torture them. I've realized that Burhnam one of the architects in the story is headed for some real trouble by the way they describe his very unbalanced career lately. He sometimes fails but then comes back with a bang, I think if he doesn't take care of him self something going to happen.

My Thoughts

This book has been tremendously good I think I am going to read it again this summer after I finish Devil In The White City this year. It is a really good book I recommend it to everybody who enjoys reading fine peices of literature. And I also think that you make many connections to different things in life. It also teaches you many lessons, like loyalty and friendship all that good stuff.

This book is very graphic and it makes it interesting to me when its graphic and detailed. It makes me feel like I'm there when I read it. I hope every body who reads it gets the same experience I did.

Lord of the Flies the "Cry of the Hunters"

I was so surprised that the children in the other tribe would go as far as to hurt Ralph. They actually threw a spear at him and no one was seen to be blamed which is horrible. I think they ran and had not let Ralph see who they were because they were afraid that Ralph would back at them most likely. They know what Ralph is capable of so much more than they seen him react to.

I think that Ralph is like a JESUS figure type because they stabbed him the spear in his rib like in the movie Passion Of The Christ. The way his own people turned their backs on him after what he did for him. Thats what happened to Ralph the group of children turned against him after he organized the whole group. Its so much like it I swear. That what I can relate it to.

The shock of Piggy getting killed really hasn't gone away, I mean it was so graphic. The way they threw that boulder and fooled him it almost made me cry for him its so horrible!! Ralph was devasted his only friend now he has to fend on his own. And they destroyed the conch so thats gone he has nothing.

Its like if the country doesn't shape up we are going to end up splitting up and the same thing is going to happen, hell will break loose and there will be more people killing people than ever.
