Final Blog Assingment

I think that the PROS of using a Home Reading Blog rather than a Home Reading Sheet are that a lot of people can read what I write, so I can share my thoughts about what I am reading in my book. When I share my ideas people can know a little bit more about me. Also when I share my opinion about a chapter or a part of a story I’m inspiring them to read the same book and even to keep them to reading my blog. When I read other people’s blogs, I myself am being inspired to read more different books than what I am reading. And my favorite part is whenever I make a post in my blog I discuss my ideas with my family so everybody get involved in the book.

The CONS of using a Home Reading Blog rather than a Home Reading Sheet is that in the blog there is so much more work to do because I have to write the whole thing by myself. In the Home Reading Sheet I have to think but the questions or the structure are there. Whenever you are typing the blog in the computer, you might accidentally press the wrong button and erase the whole thing. That could never happen if you are working with the Home Reading Sheet. With the Home Reading Sheet there are no technical problems: It is just a piece of paper.

What I like about blogging is that whenever you write a paragraph or a planning it teaches you how to write. It is a hard work but when I am done, I feel very proud of it. When I publish my post, everyone in the world can read it, including my family in South America. After reading my posts I feel like a grown up writer.

The Wood Between the Worlds

My prediction for the chapter The wood between the worlds from The Chronicles of Narnia is that the place where Digory and Polly were teleported is Narnia. I think that because in all Narnia’s stories the setting begins in a forest. My prediction was part correct: this forest could have been Narnia or any forest in the world but what it really is a special place with hundreds of pools that could take you almost anywhere.
One of my questions is: Why couldn’t Polly and Digory remember who they were when they got to the forest? They couldn’t remember who they were because the rings had magic inside of them that make them forget something (and also make me almost forget the next question).
The second question is: By me reading this chapter what did I find out about Digory’s future? In the future the narrator said that since Digory wants to learn almost everything in the world, he would want to become a professor and will write a lot of books. Since the narrator is telling the story I realized that he knows more than the characters in the book. Another example is when he said “(the soil smelled nice)” help me to see the situation better.
I had trouble with the word pluck. I first reread and I thought it meant courage so I went to online dictionary to see if I was correct. The definition was mostly picking from a bush but there were some bravery too.

Digory and his uncle

I am reading the second chapter of The Magician’s Nephew. My prediction of this chapter is that Polly will use the ring to come back to the room where Digory and his uncle are.

I read through the second chapter and my prediction was not correct. She grabs a yellow ring that sent her to another place. The green one only sent you to the place where the ring was made, or that is what I think.

My first question is did Digory believe in magic? At first he didn’t but when he heard that his uncle was a magician and made a ring from atlantean dust he did believe it because he saw with his own eyes that his friend teleported by using the ring.

My second question: Is Narnia the same world as Atlantis? No because since Atlantis is at the bottom of the ocean how could animals could live and breathe there?

Is there more than one ring? Yes because Digory’s uncle said the yellow one takes you to another place, but the green one takes you where it was made.

If I were Digory and I have to rescue my friend, would I be scared? I wouldn’t be scared because I’m 11 years old and I’m hardly afraid of anything.

I have trouble with narrow minded. I rereaded a few times and I thought It would have been stubborn. I thought that because when the uncle said “people are so narrow minded”. I also thought that’s sounds like he were saying “people are so stubborn” .
