"Shimmer" Blog

This is one of the greatest book series ever. This book is the second book from the series. It had a lot of challenging words but that okay because its better than just reading a too easy book. Riley has bin having some trouble with following orders from Bodhi. Riley met Prince Kanta at first she thought he would be able to help her to get Bodhi and Buttercup out of Rebecca's trap. He eventually was able to help her but at first she didn't really rely on him because she felt like he was a homeless prince. Once they got Bodhi and Buttercup out of Rebecca's trap they got all the lost souls to cross the bridge that were also trapped. If you want to find out how Rebecca died or if she even crosses the bridge then you will just have to read the book for your self.

The number one conflict in this story was when Rebecca trapped Bodhi and Buttercup in her world where she made them live in the time that caused them the most pain. This was the main conflict because the story is mostly about how to get Bodhi and Buttercup out. It was also about how to get the souls that were trapped out of it. The theme for this book would probably be that forgiveness will help you move on. I think thats the theme because the only way to get out of Rebecca's trap was to forgive yourself from what is causing your pain. For example if the thing that cause you the most pain is stealing money then if you don't forgive yourself it will keep on causing you pain and not letting you move on.

Summary of "Shimmer"

I am reading the book Shimmer. So far it has bin a amazing book especially since it is the second book of Radiance the book I read last time. In this book so far Bodhi has noticed the Riley is more stubborn because she had tried to get a black dog to cross the bridge when the dog wasn't assigned to her by the council. Later in the story while she was trying to find the dog she ran into another person but she was dead. At first she transformed into Riley but made her girly but after a while she realized Riley was dead like her so she transformed into her normal self. Riley found her really odd because she was also in a cemetery. After a while Riley gave up on finding the dog and went back to Bohi and she said "she will try not to be stubborn and actually follow Bodhi rules".

The point of view for Shimmer is first person. Here in the book one of lines it is " I followed the sound of it." First person uses I, we, etc. and in the book Riley is telling the story. I like book with first person because then it isn't than confusing on who the narrator is talking about or speaking for. Since its just one person then it won't be that complicated.

This story is about Jose that joined the army and he had a terrible accident. His job was to find IED with his dog Zenit. Unfortunately he stepped on a IED and he had to have both his legs amputated. The army assigned Zenit to someone else because they considered him a piece of equipment. I think that they shouldn't have done this because Jose really likes Zenit. The army should have a heart for him because he lost both his legs because of that job the least they can do is let Jose be with Zenit.

"Treasure of Lemmon Brown" Blog

Greg has bin wanting be play basketball for a while but his father said he can only play if he didn't fail math. Greg's father would always lecture him about doing well in school because Greg's father only go to stay in school until he was 13 years old. Greg kept getting annoyed because his father would continuously lecturing him. Greg later met Lemmon Brown in a abandoned building and he found out he was homeless and that he used to play the Blues. Later Lemmon Brown told Greg his story and Greg finally realized his father was just trying to help him. I think that it was great that Greg realized that his father was only trying to help him do well in school instead of failing. It was great that he met Lemmon Brown because if he didn't meet him then he probably wouldn't realized what his father was actually trying to do by lecturing him about his grades. I found it surprising that Greg didn't realize this earlier up until he met Lemmon Brown.

Summary of "Radiance"

Radiance is an amazing book about a 12 year old girl who died and was assigned a job as a soul catcher. Riley died in a car crash with her mom and dad they all crossed the bridge and they are now in a place called Now and Here. In Now and Here you can manifest anything as long as you wish for it. According to how their life was when they were alive thats how the council decides what Riley's job will be. She gets assigned a job by Bodhi which is her instructor and he assigns her the job to get the Radiant Boy to cross the bridge because no one so far who has tried has accomplished it. She accomplished her task and got the Radiant Boys to cross the bridge to that means Bodhi has to teach her how to fly and that she will be able a place that she wants to go. In the end she did learn how to fly and she also got her dog to fly and she got to visit the earth plane and have a great time but she realized that she like Now and Here better than the earth plane so she wanted to in Now and Here better than the earths plane.

Riley was the main character of this story she was really determined especially when she got the Radiant Boys to cross the bridge. The things that made her determined to accomplish her task was that she would be able to learn how to fly. She is also confident because right away she knew she can get the Radiant Boys to cross the bridge even after Bodhi and many other people have tried before and failed.
