Watership Down (End!) and End of Quarter entry

Pages: 300-481

Watership Down was really an amazing book. I really enjoyed reading it and the whole story was very engaging. The end was very creative and although I first read it in its form in Fire Bringer, it was lovely. It's nice to know what the original is in these kinds of situations, and Fire Bringer was original and quite something, I can now clearly see the influences of Watership Down on it.

End of Quarter 1:

Blogging was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be because I can actually just write what I'm thinking which isn't so hard. For my entries this past quarter, I usually analyzed quotes or characters actions because those are what really interest me in books. I did include different topics in each entry though. Blogging also helped me somewhat. I delved deeper into the books and writing my thoughts down helped me to really understand those once vague ideas in the back of my mind.

For the second quarter, I'd like to read a little more so I can write more entries on different books. Watership Down was a rather hefty book, and many different factors kept from reading more. I thought I did a pretty good job with my blog entries, though, so I don't really know what to improve on in them. What would really get me more involved and excited would be to read more.
