Fantasy Sightings

Alrighty folks now today's assignment is to write about some fantasy films/TV shows you've seen about fantasy. Well I've seen several films, but not many TV shows, so I'm just going to describe the movies since I cant remember any TV shows anyhow. One fantasy movie I remember is The Wizard of Oz that movie terrified me. I was so scared of tornado's (I still am) and the wicked witch of the west just scared me overall.  I also watched the movie, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nymph and that was a really good movie. I liked how they portrayed Mrs. Frisby's struggle on how she had to find a way to keep her and her family safe without somehow killing her son. I have also read many fantasy books too, like the Harry Potter series (even though it was only one book) and The Lord of the Rings (also one book). I really can't remember anymore, so I'm gonna end it here and pray all this counts.

Tolkien Review (Aka The Hobbit in which the authors name is bigger than the title so it looks like the title)

All I ever do is book reviews so lets get to it. I somewhat liked this book, because I have been wanting to read the Lord of the Rings for quite some time now, but I personally don't really like fantasy anymore, so it was kind of boring for me. There were some action scenes, like when Bilbo fought the dragon. My group and I (aka Pahz, Jenna, Victoria, Kordae and I) discussed the book in our group last period. I learned somewhat nothing I already knew about the fantasy genre because I already know what it consists of. Magic, evil creatures, forests, that kind of stuff. I feel my reviews are always short but that's because I really never know what to discuss. So yeah I guess this is the end of my review. I didn't hate the book, but I didn't really like it either. If you like fantasy I would def recommend this though.

Another Martian Chronicles Review

Alright these reviews are getting out of hand tbh but lets just get this over with shall we? But I did like this book better than Dandelion Wine that's for sure, mostly because it included more action in its chapters, and more interesting situations. I also like the topic a lot better because historical-fiction stories seem less interesting to me than science fiction ones. I mean, historical-fiction stories seem really boring, and I personally am not interested by books that talk about making wine out of weeds or someone who eats lime-vanilla ice cream like that sounds disgusting. But give me a book that talks about aliens and mars and earth at the brink of war, sure, I'll read it. I also liked The Martian Chronicles because of the way Bradbury took simple earth things and turned them into an even bigger issue on Mars, such as chicken pox. Chicken Pox on earth isn't such a big deal, but on Mars it turned out to be a huge deadly disease that burned martians to the bone. But overall I think The Martian Chronicles was a much better book than Dandelion Wine.

Back At It With Reviews | The Martian Chronicles Review

So we are now done with Dandelion Wine and we are onto another book by Ray Bradbury called The Martian Chronicles. So this blog post is going to be reviewing a chapter lol not again pls help okay anyway lets get started.
So I have chosen the first chapter, mainly because I like how this book begins. So this chapter is titled February 1999: YLLA which sounds odd but whatever I mean I didn't write this book idk the meaning. But this chapter is about how YLLA has a strange dream about humans.
Soooo the setting in this chapter is Mars, at YLLA and her husband YLL's home. They describe magnetic dust and a hot wind. The time is of course, 1999 in February. The season isn't really named but it's Mars so I'm guessing it doesn't snow. The weather probably is usually desert-like tbh.
So this chapter is the first so naturally it occurs in the beginning where YLLA has a strange dream where a human comes to meet her and YLL gets mad and thinks its absurd, but like YLL its a dream chill sir.
Alrighty last thing I have to see if Bradbury uses setting to describe moods or people. Soo when YLLA was upset because YLL wouldn't let her go to her friend Pao's, they tried to eat dinner but YLLA was too sad to eat. Bradbury described the setting (the room) as 'suddenly cold and dark'.
ALRIGHTY Thats all folksssssssssss see ya

I DO NOT LIKE THIS BOOK | Dandelion Wine Analysis (Own Opinion)

ALRIGHTY KIDS my last post was supposed to be about POSITIVE THINGS about the book, but now I get to put in my own opinion into how I think Dandelion Wine is.
First off, in my own opinion, Dandelion Wine is BORING. I'm not saying its not a good book, I just thought it was really really boring. Like, okay, you do the same things every summer. I mean it was a good book it was just really boring. I feel like such a horrible person for saying these things probably because our teacher thought we'd like it maybe (sorry mr. craddock) but it made me want to eat glass.

now my arm is bleeding for whoever knows why omg

The writing was good in the book, and the stories were creative. A lot of people probably love this book, but I for one don't like this genre.

The impression the author made on me was 'he probably lived in the olden times or back in the 90's or something, idk.

OKAY THE POINT IS I did not like this book very much it was really boring to me and it was very confusing, like every chapter was a whole new story based on the story before that one based on the two main characters like OMGIJRPBCNDNDKFVM'AW very confusing.





 <<< the book
    <<<< the author (why does he look like a famous actor i know oops)

Dandelion Wine Analysis

            Dandelion Wine is a collection of stories that are about two young children, Douglass and Tom, and how they are enjoying their summer.

  Dandelion Wine is a very very very very (very times 100) boring book, in my opinion, since I don't really like these types of books. But the writing in it is good, the stories have interesting plots, and the characters have nice named like Douglass and Tom. A lot of books I've read have odd names like "Hangraytalamore" or something.
               One chapter I liked was the story of an old woman who was trying to convince two children that she was once young. She buys them ice cream and tells them stories, but the two children don't believe her. It made me frustrated that she had to keep showing them stuff and they didn't believe her, because everybody knows that people were all young once.
                Another story I liked was the first one, where Douglass is waking everyone up. I like the descriptions the story makes, like how he is yelling at his grandma's to fry hot cakes and how they describe the scent of butter frying.

I think the best thing in Bradbury's book 'Dandelion Wine' is the description of things, how he described hot cakes, or lime-vanilla ice cream. I like how he describes situations, like Leo Auffman and his machine, and how Leo was feeling at the time.

Love Poem (I think..?)

Okay so I have to write a love poem on here but I hate love poems so here's an ANTI love poem:

You knock on my door
Its way past midnight
I tell you to go,
Farewell and goodnight.
You come back the next day
Bringing flowers and food
I tell you to go
I'm not in the mood
You think I just despise you
So you're constantly drinking booze
But the truth really is
I saw your criminal record on the news

Okay this is actually funny to me HAHA but nobody else laughed at it so maybe its not that good idk bye kids !
