Reading

I have not posted for awhile as I have been busy with poetry and the book I am currently reading isn't that exciting but I have to read to get through the rest of the series. It is the second book in the series of the last book I read and so far I'm quite disappointed that it is so dull at the moment.

Sylvia Plath ( 1932- 1963)

Sylvia Plath was An American poet who was born on October 27 1932 in Massachuets memorial hospital during the depression. She married a fellow poet Ted Hughes and had two children but separated later on. In her lifetime she wrote about 26 poems. Three facts many don't know about her is that her Father was 21 years older than her mother, She was a single mother and her second pregnancy let to a miscarriage. Plath was shy at first about her writing but close to her death had a burst of creativity and wrote many poems. Sylvia sadly died February 11 1963 from carbon monoxide poisoning when she committed suicide by sticking her head in an oven with the gas still on. She was only 30 at this time and It was a very sad end to such a talented woman.

Judith wright (1915-2000)

The name of the poet we have been studying this week is Judith wright. She was born on 31 May 1915 In Armidale, New South Whales, Austarlia and died On 26 June, 2000 of a heart attack, shortly after attending an aboriginal reconciliation in Canberra. Judith Wright was well known for her poems about nature and life. 3 interesting facts about Judith is that 1. When wright was in her 20's she started to become progressively death 2. All her poetry were inspired by her experiences or the countries she was in at the time. 3. She was a passionate environmentalist who fought for her country and it's rights. She also fought to save rain forests, the great barrier reef and sand mining in Fraser island just to name a few. The poems we are studying in class at the moment by her are woman to child, bora ring and the surfer.

City of Bones

I have recently started to read City of Bones which is part of the Mortal instruments series. The book I last read Clockwork Angel was actually written Part of the series as it shows What happened before the people from city of bones were even born. So far it is about a girl who finds out she is part shadow hunter and that her mother was once married to an evil fallen shadow hunter who they thought had been killed.

Clockwork Angel

I have recently started and finished the book Clockwork Angel which was a great book set in the 17-1800's but also had a magical world to it. There are different parts of this world, the mundanes (humans), werewolfs, vampires, downworlders, warlocks and guardians. The guardians protect the mundanes and are pretty much the police. The book is about this girl called Tessa who has the power to shape shift so many bad people want to get their hands on her powers. She stays with the guardians who look after her and help to find her brother who turns out to be a traitor. It was a great book filled with action, romance and suspense and I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out......!

Hunger Games last part

I have now finished the Hunger Games Trilogy and am very sad about it as it was a fantastic series. In the end peter returned to normal and Katniss married and had children in the epilogue. However it was a very depressing end as many died such as Prim, Finnick and her other close friends. Even though it was an amazing book I wished there could have been a happier ending after all that's happened to them but this was probably a more realistic end.

Hunger games 4

I am still reading hunger games and so far they have gotten petar back but he is not what he usually is as he has been hijacked to think Katniss is the enemy and a mutt.
