First Blog Post Of The 3 Marking Period

I’ve just started reading The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill by Heather Brewer. She finished her first series The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod which consists of 5 books. This series was absolutely amazing. The Slayer Chronicles is her newest series. The main character is Joss. In the Vladimir Tod series Vlad meets Joss around the third book I believe and they become friends. Now in this series Joss is younger and is beginning his training to become a vampire slayer.
                One of the conflicts that popped up right away was the death of his younger sister. She was murdered by a vampire. This traumatized Joss in 2 ways, one because he loved his sister more than anything in the world and second because he witnessed the murder himself. He didn’t know what had killed his sister at first because the vampire had erased his face from Joss’s memory.
                But, at his sister’s funeral Joss’s uncle Abraham asked him what he remembered and he relaxed and the memory poured right back into his brain. Abraham told him that this man who killed his sister was a vampire. Abraham told him that in a few years Joss would begin to train to become a vampire slayer just like he was and just like his grandfather was. Joss was told that he had to swear his dedication to the Slayer Society and without thinking he said “I swear”.

Review to Alli's blog

I really liked Alli's post.
        I feel like she put so much effort in it. She just finished reading The Last Song by Nicholas Spark and she said that she has found more change in the main character than she did the first btime reading this novel and seeing the motion picture of it.
        The main reason why I say that she put effort into it, is that she took a poem that she thought really represented it and broke it up into peices. After she did that she wrote about each piece and why and how she thought that piece represented th book.
        Another reasons why I liked her post was that she didn't just throw the poem on the page first she told the reader what she was doing in this post and then at the end she shared the link to the poem. In addition, the way that she broke up the poem made it much easier to comprehend.
I myself was in Alli's class last year and expected nothing less than this. She always goes over the top, but it's stuff like that in which made this amazing blog post. Keep up the good work Alli.
