Choice Book Report: Quarter 1- Ink Heart

    I read the book InkHeart for my quarter 1 book. I chose the character Dustfinger because this book jumped around a lot from character to characre and Dustfinger was my favorite character. I guess because I can kind of relate to him.

    Dustfinger is a very self sacrificing, determined, desperate character. He is in a world that he doesn't belong in. Meaning he was read out of a ficticous world full of fairies, warlocks, and goblins. That books name was InkHeart. Dustfinger's only wish is to be read back into the book by Silver Tongue, the person who read him out, to return to his lover. This is a problem because another character who was read out named Capricorn wants to burn every copy of InkHeart (insert gasps)!!!
    Dustfinger like I said before is a self sacrificing, determined, and desperate character. Desperate because he double crossed Silver Tongue and Capricorn just trying to get someone to read him back into the book. Self sacrificing because he gave up his life to save the only thing not evil from his world, a marten with horns named Gwin, because even though it was an animal he thought it equal. And finally determined because he would do anything to get back to his original home.
     Dustfinger looks like he had a bad encounter with a knife to his face. This is because one of Capricorns men actually did this to him. He is a very shady looking character like someone you wouldn't want to have a bad encounter with. He is a fire eater and so of course he has burns every where randomly.

    So I decided to do the dislike/like thing. I liked the book. It was very complex? I guess? Anyway I would suggest this book to anyone who likes Cornelia Funke or J.R.R. Tolkien. Anyone reading this blog should read it. It is a very well written novel. This book really went out of my regular genre. And I am kind of a book snob. I love to read Science fiction. So even if this book is out of the genre that you normally read it will still capture your imagination and drag you along for a highly tolerable, not very annoying, ride.

Memoir 2

It was a Wednesday night and we were in Centenial for a hockey game. My team was losing 10-1. The other team was gigantic, fast as lightning, and had more practice than we did. We knew we were going to lose.
It was the second period and the ice was cold and unforgiving as ever. My asst. coach said that anyone who scored got an autographed hockey stick from the huskies. That was my main motivation. Like i said before it was the second period and me and Max needed a line change.
Max dumped the puck from the blue line and I skated in as fast as I could. I watched as the puck bounced off of the goalie and started to fall. Time seemed to be at a stand still. I dropped to my knees and began to slide. As time slowed I began to aim for the puck. Just before it hit the ice I swung. At 3 feet from the goal the goalie forgot I was there.
 The puck sailed threw the air and hit the back of the net. My victory was short lived as i was still sliding... And fast. I hit the wall at about 15 mph. That really hurt.
Well we still went on to lose the game but I will never forget that night...
