Simple Summary of Online Learning

Throughout online learning, I have finished the third book of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the king. The series has been by my side for this entire school year so far and I have enjoyed it immensely.

Right now

From March 02, 2022: At this moment in time, I am currently reading Sanctuary, by Caryn Lix in school and reading Three Keys from the series Front Desk, by Kelly Yang. I have started these 2 books just now and I have only gotten to around 30 pages for both, which therefore there aren’t many actions that I could sum up. 

Independent Essay Planning

From the books, I have read so far,  If I were to do the Independent Essay right now, I would without a doubt, choose Front Desk.  The reason why I am certain that this would be because of the somewhat similar plot to The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. In my opinion, I think it would be a fairly simple write because it has a lot of content that is interesting and worth mentioning.

Recently I have finished “The Keeper of the Mist” and have just started a new novel that is called, “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a fantasy adventure story that introduced a ton of fictional material into its world and I can already tell even if I am only 121 pages into the novel that there was massive amounts of world building done by the Tolkien. At the beginning of the story, the main protagonist Bilbo was just a normal hobbit but later becomes a well equip traveller.  This all started when a group of dwarfs and a wizard barged into his house uninvited and tried to recruit the timid hobbit into their little group for the goal of taking back their kingdom that has been lost do to the cause of a dragon. What I appreciate about this book is the mystery and action that is woven through is pages. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy adventure fantasy, or for readers that would like a more challenging read.

The novel that I have almost finished is called the ‘Keeper of the Mist’ written by Rachel Neumeier. It is a fantasy adventure story featuring magic in its world. At the beginning of the story, the main protagonist was just a baker. Due to the protection of the magical mist disappearing and Nimmira being exposed to the outside, she was forced to rise to the throne and rule over a kingdom that is called Nimmira. The story itself moves at a slow pace due to the descriptive text that Neumeier uses.

What I appreciate about this book is the mystery and anticipation that is woven through is pages. For instance, when the mist disappeared and Lady Kerianna left her bakery for the royale palace, the neighboring country came over and crossed Nimmira’s boundary. You could sense that danger was on the horizon. It left me longing for some action and for what might come next.

I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy the all around fantasy, or for reading who would like to explore the genre.
