My book, Prep, is even more interesting the second time reading it. I think because I am older and wiser, I understand the recondite parts of the book better. READING THE BOOK, I wonder why I forgot so many of the important details. One important aspect I forgot was that Lee thought that she was going to get "spring cleaned" (kicked out) of Ault. BEING FROM A SMALL SCHOOL, Lee was a novice at the advanced math courses that were requisite to graduate. SITTING IN CHAPEL, Lee was told to go to the headmaster's office. He told her that if dhe did not catch up to her grade level of math, something would have to happen. WORRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING, Lee figured it meant she was going to be spring cleaned. WALKING DOWN THE HALL, Lee ran into her teacher who told her that she had to send a letter to her parents. Lee bacame so worried that she was not even excited when Martha was elected senior prefect. I cannot believe I forgot so many details.

Im not so sure how many gerunds or vocab words to use. I remember you telling us to use maybe three gerunds? So i'll just do three.

THE BOOK IS CONFUSING. I actully don't really understand it. I think the first three chapters are very strange. I AM HOPING THE BOOK GETS BETTER. Although i do think it is a bit interesting. CLONEING IS A MAJOR ISSUE. The book is interesting becasue it is neat to find out how the clones respond. Although some of the things seem PERNICIOUS. The clones shouldn't be forced to do things they don't want to. If I were one of them i would probably QUAIL from so much fear.
Well i hope the book seems to get better and less GRISLY to my brain.
Well i have to go read like 50 pages to answer my question.

Reading the Brave New World is really confusing. Bernard Marx seems disconsolate about his life, even though he is a alpha. Being on the top of the caste system is supposed to be good since that but he seems to hate it. the process of how they raise their clone kids is grisly in from my perspective. Conditioning from the minute they are produced to love what they will do is inhumane. They make the kids impassive in some of the castes. Giving them predilections to their personality and not letting them choose is a bad way to live. It seems that in their society prolific productions of humans is more important them the quality of life.

THE BOOK IS AMAZING. I love the deep and sensitive emotions that come with it. Tears of a Tiger is by far one the best books I have ever read. THIS BOOKS MAKES ME LOVE READING. I enjoy reading it because it has such a commonm plot and lesson behind it. This book makes me quail. HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE DRINK, at such a young age is scary fro me.When a teen, or even an adult, you must be very punctilious as to whom you hang out with. Although underage drinking is an infraction, many teens do it anyway and this is what it can possibly result in.

I will write about A Brave New World because I am not reading any other books at this moment. READING THE BOOK causes great consternation for me. I also think that it is sadistic how they treat their clones. INCULCATING THE INFORMATION on the clones' minds so that they will only do one job is wrong. It's also ignoble how they turn each group against one another and create prejudices. KNOWING THIS INFORMATION puts me on the clones' side. I hope that they eventually rebel and become their own people.

My book is Mahalia. READING THIS BOOK MAKES ME HAPPY AND SAD. SEEING MATT AND MAHALIA GO THROUGH DAILY LIFE IS TOUCHING. Right now Matt has just emptied his bank acount to buy food for them. BEING UNIMPLOYED AS HE IS I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW HE'S GOING TO GET ANY MONEY. Another unpleasing thing also happened, Emmy's (emmy is the mother of Mahalia) mother came to viset and want to take care of Mahalia maybe even over night. SCARY AS STRANGERS ARE TO MAHALIA MATT LETS EMMY'S MOTHER TO TAKE CARE OF MAHALIA FOR A FEW HOURS ON FRIDAY. ENDING WITH THE CHAPTER AT A POINT WHERE MATT IS IN DIER NEED OF SLEEP.

READING BRAVE NEW WORLD IS TRICKY. OPENING THE BOOK, i didnt expect it to jump right into the action. The way they run there society is sadistic to me, especially in the way the children are raised. BEING BRAINWASHED FROM DAY ONE, these kids know nothing of the world we know today. I have accrued that these people dont even know what it is like to be free and have their own sense of personlaity.THINKING ABOUT THIS BOOK AND WHAT TRUTHS LYE BEHIND IS SCARY. It would be a grisly world to live in. BUT OVERALL, I CANT WAIT TO GET TO THE ENDING.

READING THE NOVEL, BRAVE NEW WORLD HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A NEW OUTLOOK ON CLONING. Before I began to read, I absolutely hated the idea of cloning and was completely against it. CLONING IS STILL AN UNEASY SUBJECT TO ME. This is because I don't know all of the details, making me nonplussed. DISCUSSING CLONING SEEMS EASY FOR THE AUTHOR TO DO, AND HE MITIGATES STRONG FEELINGS THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE AGAINST IT. The whole process described in the story is redoubtable. The are no room for mistakes making it impossible to reprove. The stalwart cloning center seems as if it has been around for a long time.

READING BRAVE NEW WOWRLD has changed my opinion on life. The book shows how DISPASSIONATE people can be and how it is very important. If we were made to follow the same pattern everyday life would be boring. TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS BOOK IS VERY DIFFICULT. Even though being VULNERABLE usually has a negative conotation but i think it is better than being sheltered. BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE WHO WAS TALKING IN THE THIRD CHAPTER WAS A VERY DIFFICUT TASK. The ACRIMONIOUS tone of Fanny makes you wonder what everyones purpose is. SEEING HOW THE CLONES ACT makes me examine my life more critically. I don't know if there is enough ELAN in my life and if I am enjoying life. CONTINUING TO READ THIS BOOK WILL BE FUN BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THE LIVES OF THE CLONES.

I read Brave New World. LIVING IN THEIR WORLD would be very odd. I wouldn't like to inauspiciously end up in their lower castes. READING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAST TIMES, so it would be hard to imagine being too dumb to read. The first 3 chapters can get a little confusing. CHANGING QUICKLY FROM CHARACTER TO CHARACTER CAN LEAVE ONE NONPLUSSED, but after reading it over a few times you get it. I must say I have a predilection to this book, and have since I read it during the summer.

I'm am going to be WRITING about Brave New World. At the end of the the third chapter I was nonplussed. I thought it was very CONFUSING with the different converstations going on all at one time. As I read, the number of conversations HAPPENING at the same time kept INCREASING. The people in the book are assigned to keep DOING the same thing everyday. I would get really bored with that.

UGH!!!! REVIEWING gerunds is a must! WRITING them has been difficult for you! Now I am crying, and I hate CRYING!

READING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO,especially reading Breaking Dawn, I never get nonplussed. READING THIS BOOK always makes my day. FIGHTING THE VOLTURRI, even the idea of it, seems very grisley in my mind. If I were Bella, I would quail in front of them if it would save my family!

READING "BRAVE NEW WORLD" has made me wonder what the future holds for our world. If it starts to head in the direction described in this particular book, FIGHTING THE GOVERNMENT will be my only course of action; I really would rather die than live an oppressed and genetically engineered life. NOTICING MANY ALLUSIONS to works of literature outside of the novel has been an exciting expereience for me. PONDERING THE MYSTERIES of the warped society described in the book has led to many interesting duscussions with my friends and family. HOPING FOT FREEDOM TO WIN in the end, I will continue to read this book to the finish!

READING THE BOOK, A Brave New World is very confusing but quite untereating. CLONING THROUHGOUT THE BOOK has been exccessive, and the morals are much different than what they are today. The kids playing in the bushes is a very weird moral practiced in the novel. SEEING LENINA and the way she acts makes me have hope that maybe the people in the book will all realize how weird of a lifestyle they have and possibly change their ways.

I am going to write about "Brave New World". READING this book was very confusing to me. So far, very strange things have been happening. I think it is really weird how the little kids interect with eachother in sexual ways. BEING in this kind of environment would definitely have a detreimental effect on my life. Also SEEING how many humans get cloned from one embryo is crazy to me. I think that it is wrong to clone a whole human and especially to do that many. I believe that it is very unmoral. I hope that as the book proceeds it gets easier to understand, makes more sense, and gets a little more interesting. Right now, it hasn't really pulled me in 100 percent but maybe that's just because we're still in the beginning and it's confusing so far. I am interested to see what happens next though.

I really love Brave New World so far. The story is very enigmatic and complex but I'm sure that most of the confusion will be clarified as the book goes on. Reading the book, I've notived that there are very adamant negative reinforcement to keep children from questioning their society. Sleeping in their beds, children are hearing a voice constantly inforcing lessons while they sleep.Listening to authority, workers learn never to thwart a class higher than your own and that you should be happy in the class that you're in. I really like this book so far and I'm excited to see what will happen next.

My book Where the Red Fern Grows is very engaging. The setting is more antediluvian than I orginally thought. Catching coons is the main characters focus. Seeing his debonair dogs get hurt makes him very angry. The author really connects with the reader when talking about the dogs. He makes them seem real causeing attachment to the characters to accrue. When i read about the first hunting trip I really became worried that the main character and his dogs could get hurt.

The book a Brave New Wold is interesting in all perspectives. The way people look at one another in a stereyo typical fashion viewing one as supeior and one as dowdy is specious. No one in society works for their status, their just given it through pure chance. Marx is gauche and has a unique demanor that makes him feel out of place but also makes him ambitious and believeable to me. The utopia the people have tried to make is not believeable and all they really achived was a robatic system of uniformity.

Sorry, I forgot to add gerunds in my first blog:
Seeing the way people act is dificult to ignore because they are so blatant about their actions. Following the generic motions of every day life seems necessary to survive socally but to what extent. Questioning the world around them doen't even occure in their normal thinking pattern, if in fact they even think at all. They stopped evovling and bettering themselves the moment they gave up the right to emotionaly and metaly grow. Growing is necessary and noral in every day life and serves as the bases for the definition of human. Making mistakes and learning prevent future mistakes and help a person scientifically betten mankind. Without it they are in loop, forever going about in a circle of motions.
