I am continuing to read Lord of the Rings bit by bit. It's an exciting novel that really has me interested. I am at the part where Bilbo Baggins bids farewell. He leaves everything he has including his magic ringto his heir, Frodo. I believe from the little that i have read that frodo is a great heir. He is always there when needed and he beat Bilbo's supposed heir till Frodo came along. But I think Frodo is going to have rough times now since Bilbo left.
I believe to suspect that Frodo is going to endure tough times now that Bilbo is gone. I think so because the book showed an example. Since Bilbo is gone he left his will. He left lots of stuff to different people. So Frodo had to distribute everything. But of course he has problems. Bilbo's original wants in. He bothers Frodo into showing him the will. So he does. But theres nothing for him. But one sneaky little person still stays back for hours examining the of Bilbo, now Frodo. That's why I think that Frodo will go through tough times.
Lord of the Rings is an outstanding book. Good for everyone that likes a little adventure. I predict hard times for Frodo because of the ring. We will wait5 and see.

Lord of the Rings
I am currently reading a great book called Lord of the Ring. It is an amazing book that has many characters. Even though I haven't read much I can still tell a lot. I think that Bilbo Baggins is a very interesting. I think he is a strange character. Right now I'm in the point of the book where it was Bilbo's " one-hundred eleventy-elleven" birthday. He throws crazy parties and this one was no exception. Except at this peticular party, Bilbo aunnounces that this will be his last birthday party and then vanishes. Bilbo is a very interesting character.
Bilbo Baggins is a very interesting character because he has issues. For example, in the book Gandalf visits Bilbo after his dramatic party. Bilbo is insisting on leaving the Shire. Gandalf agrees but he has to leave his heir, Frodo. He leaves all of his treasures to Frodo. Except one thing. The magic ring. He thinks it's his "precious". Now I'm starting to think that the encounter with Gollum scared him or influenced him. But it's still creepy.
All in all, Bilbo is a creepy, weird and strange Hobbit. The book so far is interesting. I would recmend this book to everyone.

Pendragon 5 Black Water
I just finished reading this incredible book in a series of 10 Pendragon Black Water. It is an incredible book with the main character being Bobby. Bobby is now traveling around the different territories in order to catch the villian, Saint Daine. This time they are in a territory that has humans as pets and slaves and cats or leapords as the rulers. Now Saint Daine has brooken all the rules of Halla by bringing things from other territories onto other territories which is NEVER supposed to happen. Through all of this drama Booby realizes that in order to defeat Saint Daine he needs to change. So he does.
I know that Bobby changes because in the book it says that his friends go onto Cloral another territory to get an antidote and they bring the antidote to Bobby. But you're never supposed to bring stuff from other territories to another. So Bobby had to make a decision. If he wanted to to help the people by breaking the rules or if he shouldn't and risk the territory to crumble. He decided to change and to let the rules brake.
All in all the book is fantastic. The whole series is too.

Memoir never posted it
The smell of cigarettes just put out
intoxicated my nose. The toxic fumes were making dizzy. I was in a cab in
Manhattan. Today was the day. The day I finally had a responsibility. I was
headed to get my puppy. I had probably pestered my family about it for quite
some time, but the day had finally arrived. As I stepped out of the cab I rushed
in the door. The smell of dog treats and rubber were in the air circling around
me. I felt the joy of the dogs when they saw a new person. As if they knew that
today might be their lucky day to leave and become apart of a family. I ran to
see that dogs that where in the playpen.
Was amazed to see a vast array of different breeds of dogs. All the dogs were running up and down
as if they were in a sugar rush. My dad picked a dog and it was okay. But then
I saw her. She had white fur as white and fluffy as clouds. She was jumping on
top of other dogs, doing tricks and running like a maniac. She ran to me and
tackled me. Her fur was a soft as a pillow and smooth as can be. Once I had her
I know that she would be my responsibility. I knew she would be my dog and that
I would take care of her. I looked into her big brown eyes and I saw innocence.
I said to my dad, dad this is the one we are taking home. We did. We took it
home and she was mine. The day we got home and we had to go to sleep, I stayed
up with her until she fell asleep. But I took responsibility for her. At this
time all of this made me feel grown up. I wasn’t a child anymore in my eyes. I
had grown up. I didn’t need anyone’s assistance. This moment made me feel incredibly
mature. While I know that probably everyone else in the family felt annoyed and
bothered by the fact that I kept on saying that I was a “big boy”. But that
dog, named Frida was the key to me becoming mature.

The book Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pies by Jordan Sonnenblick was fun to read.It's protagonist was Steven Alper. Steven is just a ordaniary eigth grader who is a bit nerdy. He likes the to plsy the drums and also likes a girl named Renae Albert. The one thing he doesn't like so much is his brother Jeffrey. All of this changes because Jeffrey is found to have leaukimia. He goes through many different situations regarding his brother. This is why I think that Steven matured throughout the book.
In the book, one of the problems was when Steven's family were having money problems. Jeffrey's treatment and hospital bills were racking up a lot of money. Steven wanted too help his family really bad. So that Saturday he went to his druming teacher and told him that he had to quit cause he could'nt spend that money anymore. Giving up something you really desire shows a lot of maturity.
Another example in the book is when Renae Albert came to tutor Steven. Steven was falling behinfd in math and needed a math tutor. So Renae went to help. But when she came to Steven's house she was sick. Now when you have leaukimia you have a really weak imune system. SO you can't afford being sick. So what Steven did to save his brother is that he said Renae couldn't enter. Steven has liked that irl forever and he had to kick her out to protect Jeffrey. That's pretty mature.
Finally the last example is at Steven's big concert. Steven had a huge drum solo and he had been practicing for it for a long time. He was going to be the star. He was going to have fame. All he needed to do was to go out there and do what he does best which is playing the drums. But sadly Jeffrey had a fever right before his performance. Steven could've stayed and played. But he decided to go calm his brother and acompany him to the hostpital thus missing his performance. That was really showing maturity.
All in all Steven's actions showed lots of maturity. He sacrificed many important things for his brother. The book was overall outstanding.
