so im back, i know ive been gone for a super long time but hey, it gave me awhile to finish the book. so now i have to rewind and try to remember everything that happened since my last post. well when kit got to conneticut, i would have been super freaked if i were her. i would have at least called to see if i could stay! and i dont like her uncle, he seems kind of mean and not that nice. and when she tried to give them the dresses he like, freaked out and yelled at her. i dont understand that at all. but oh well i guess. and the guy that she meets when they go into town, william i think?? anywho, how empty- headed can u be. all he talks about is his super rich house he's building, that would put me to sleep every time. lol im glad boys are so much different these days. hahahaha jp.

JuSt StaRtEd
hey yall i just started reading the witch of blackbird pond. I've already read it before but im reading it again because its been a long time since the last time i read it. I remember really liking this book which will be a nice change after johnny tremain. but what i wanna kno is when do we get to read a book that is set in a time closer to our own. i kno this is meant to teach us about american history, but i would like a book that i can relate to a little more. Now on to the book, i cant beleive anyone would move from Barbados to conneticut! i would never make a move that drastic. and to have to spend that much time on a boat? i would have gone crazy! i would have developed like claustrophobia and jumped overboard in the first 3 weeks. lol.

YAY!!!
woo and hoo i am so happy we are done with this book! no offense to mr.anderson and whoever else picked out this book but it was EXTREMELY dull. lol
cry cry i have a tear
i am sooooo sad. this is horrible. i cant beleive rab died. i would feel sooo bad if i was johnny. he has to deal with all of this awful stuff and then his like, best friend died. and then hes going to get surgery on his hand. its weird to think that this whole book and adventure started because of dove and how he made johnny spill the hot metal on himself. and also to think about how different johnny has become. he went from being kinda stuck up and mean to really kind and a lot more humble. a good change in my opinion. cuz really, who likes hanging out with a stuck up, show off??

patriotism (i think thats how you spell it)
all i have to say is wow. that must be so hard for johnny to deal with rab leaving and having to be all by himself. i think its amazing how the "early united states" is so willing to fight. its like all these poor farmers and people of a brand new nation are able to come together and fight for what they want and know is rightfully their own. i would be really scared living in a time like that and i dont kno how some of those men and women were able to live thro that. i definetly have a TON of respect for all the people of that time and all they had to go throo. and a TREMENDOUS amount of respect and gratitude for all the people who fought so hard for their country and rights and freedom. the one thing i dont understand is why johnny is so eager to fight. if i were him id be like under my bed yelling "adios, catch y'all when the war is over!" haha
what a brave kid
ya, so i happen to think that johnny tremain is a really brave kid. he like belongs in a "secret society" of the way kool adult leauge of rebels. first off, i would never even be able to belong to that "leauge" becuase i would spill my guts all over the place. i couldnt keep HUGE secrets like that! are u krazy? also, i think about how he had to deal with like, pumpkin dying, and losing relationships with cilla and her sister. AND he still has to deal with his hand being all burned and not being able to use it. i would be so scared if i was him. i dont kno if i could even survive thro the things that he had to go throo the whole story. by the way, im definetly getting into this book, even tho it is kinda slow and boring still.
post on old time living
ok, so after reading this book, i have become very grateful that im living in this time and not 1800's. (i think thats when johnny tremain lived). Johnny has to be a silversmith for his first job? my first job will be working @ a store in the mall or @ a starbucks somewhere. i think its amazing how much has changed in our history. like johnny was working @ age 11, and we cant legally work until like, age 16. and i wont even get into the advances in technology and stuff. but anyways i thought i would just comment on how grateful i am that im not waking up at the crack of dawn to go make sugar basins and cream pitchers every day.
ive already read the book so this is hard
at the beginning it was really hard for me to get into this book! it seemed soooooo boring and there was no way i wanted to read it. then i kinda started to understand it and stuff. it was kinda kool to read about someones life that is soooo much different than the way we live today. it kinda gives you a different perspective on how "good" your life really is. i mean that would really suck if you had to live in a time where your parents had to sell you off just so that they and you could stay alive. that would be horrible! like johnny was only like 11 when his mom gave him up, if i was seperated from my parents @ 11, i would die. lol
