So far i have learned how it was for the soldiers in the trenches and what the war was like for them. There were two men muller are kemerich. Kemerich is willing to give Muller his boots but Muller says that her would rather go over the barbed wire than to find a scheme to get hold of them as soldiers did not have boots that were sufficient for the harsh conditions. 

“We became soldiers with eagerness and enthusiasm, but they had done everything to knock that out of us.” The author said. I think he is saying that they were treated so badly that they were no longer excited and enthusiastic but rather dull and un willing to go to war. This shows how soldiers were treated in the war.

He describes the trainers of the soldiers to be “circus ponies” meaning that they know nothing about what they were doing but the soldiers soon became accustomed to it. 

Soldiers had to be on guard every week and had to practice shooting their rifles in all conditions.

I also learn that the trainers held grudges for certain soldiers in particular. This could be for any reason such as their religion beliefs or to get pay back. They would punish the soldiers for no reason and made him stay on guard every sunday.  

Psmith in the city

Hello, I am reading Psmith in the city. The book is about Psmith which is pronounced "Smith" and a character called Mike Jackson who is a student and who is passionate of cricket. Mike plays in a cricket team administered by Psmith dad which one of the reason they met.. Both characters live in very similar conditions. They both are unable to attend college and they both work in the same back in London. It's a funny book so it doesn't get boring

"Torn" by Amanda Hocking

I've read a few chapters during the holidays and the book is getting better and better. Wendy has now told her brother about her life as a Trylle and how she is the princess of the kingdom. It has been very hard for Wendy to accept the fact that Matt (her host brother) is not her real brother and that they are completely different, however Matt is very similar to Rhys (his real brother) and they are starting to bond over their human qualities. Wendy is starting to feel left out and abandoned by Matt, which is causing her to drift further apart from him. She is in a bit of a dilemma though, she wants to fit in with the "humans" more than anything so she can stay close to her brother but then on the other hand she couldn't be more different than them and she doesn't want any part of human life or their lifestyle. Other than this whole jealousy problem she is dealing with, Finn has left her once again, leaving her distraught and betrayed. Wendy loves Finn and she knows that he loves her back which is the hardest thing for her because she can't understand why someone who loves her would ever leave her over and over again. She is feeling all these feeling (betrayal, jealousy, anger, sadness, disappointment) and at the same time she has to decide wether or not she wants to be the queen of the Trylle or of the Vittra. They are also trolls but they are evil, they use their powers for the worst things like death and manipulation, torture and control. Wendy's father, Oren, is the king of the Vittra making her his only heir to the throne. The reason why she is the only heir to the throne is because there is a curse of infertility past on through the Vittra, no woman who is part of the Vittra can conceive a child, the only reason that Wendy was born was because her mother was a Trylle (good troll) so the curse did not affect her. Another curse in the Vittra is the curse of the goblins, when by odd chance a Vittra women is able to conceive a child the child is born as a hideous goblin, with hairy ears and a huge nose as well as green skin and many warts. Even though the curses in the Vittra are awful, the Vittra would never become Trylle as they are all brainwashed by Oren, he tells them that violence is the key to survival and that peace is for the weak.
All in all I am loving this book and I can't wait to read more of it!

SECRET SCRIPTURE 13

Roseanne who is severely pregnant need urgent help. So with a lot of courage and faith in religion and god heartedness she set out walking from her house kilometres and kilometres to find Tom her ex husband. In my point of view these next couple of pages have been very depressing as we see a woman who had her life all planned out and for once she was happy and in a blink her whole life everything that was familiar  was taken away violently  by all sorts of people. How an innocent girl has seen only the cruel side of life and has experienced rare moments of joy. Roseanne is forced to age quickly and is forced to doubt human kind and the reason worth living. She reflects on the civilisation and her little hope has been taken away. Toms mother has sent Roseanne away and she is walking back to home in a dangerous and lively storm. Her only chance is getting back home. As always Roseanne had no luck and when she is in the heart of the storm on a rocky path she awakes from her moment drift aways and realises that acute pains are arising suddenly blood is flowing down her legs and a head, should, stomach is appearing. Roseanne is screaming for the help of God. If i was Roseanne I could not live a day in her life i admire her but also pity her greatly. Roseanne  so exhausted falls bag asleep with her child against the rocks but this time when she wakes up her baby is gone but the blood is still there. Roseanne who had a terrible childhood still feels a mother instinct and care for the child she is worried and preoccupied and almost as if an answer from God she heard an ambulance that came to her to rescue her.  Roseanne gets sent to hospital with operations and treatment the bleeding stopped but her child no where to be found. The evil Fr Gaunt shows up telling Roseanne she is moving to a place where she will be taken care of. Roseanne is sent to a mental hospital were she vaguely recalls seeing Tom and his Mother. Eneas Jack's brother arrived in uniform to greet Roseanne and inform her that their son was there. As they were standing together with their beloved child Roseanne faith and colour in her face reappeared. For me this was a happy moment even though this is only a book and not my life, I have been following the life of Roseanne and as a result of grown to establish her as a person in my mind. " I suppose we measure the importance of our days by those few angels we spy among us, and yet aren't like them."

I finally finished "Great expectations"

I finally finished "Great expectations". I find that it's an incredible book, written in a spectacular way. The language used by the author is really complex and detailed, which made it a lot harder to me and caused me to take a long time to read it. I really recommend it to you, because the story is very interesting and a lot of new things are happening all the time so it doesn't get boring.

C.R.A. part 1

Crazy Rich Asians (part 1)

'Nowhere in the world are there to be found people richer than the Chinese' Iba Butata (14th century)

Hey there! Peter here! I am currently reading 'Crazy Rich Asians'. I have already reviewed the theme of this book in the last chapter so in this blog, I am going to tell you about the first part of the story (the main plot without subplots however the subplots are interesting as well).

Rachel Chu finally agreed with Nicholas to attend a Nick's friend's wedding with him in Singapore. When they arrived at the airport, Rachel boarded Nicholas's private jet. She was stunned by the grand display of wealth in Nick's plane. The front section of the plane contains 12 suites. Rachel was led into a cabin that was consisted of two huge flat-screen TV,  hand-switched arm-chair, leather chairs, hidden wardrobes behind wooden sliding panels. This is only the start of her journey into the world of millionaires.

While Rachel is on her way to Singapore, Nicholas's mom, Eleanor Young was worried about her son's girlfriend. She was worried about her status. To these traditional-rich Chinese, the social status of people are very significant and if other people have a low status (middle class or lower), the traditional-rich Chinese will hold a lot of contempt against them. Eleanor Young thought she was from a low-class Chinese family that migrated to the U.S. She sent out spies to find out about Rachel's family. When she heard that there is someone willing to give her some crucial information on Rachel, she traveled to China to meet that person.

Nick's friends (about to get married) came to the airport to welcome Nick and Rachel. They were very friendly towards Rachel and Rachel loved them. However, they didn't know that they are one of the richest people in the whole world.

The next day, Rachel went to her friend's house. Her friend was very rich as well however, they are the new-rich family. Rachel found out that her friend's house was made like the Versailles Palace in France. Later that day, Nick wanted Rachel to come to his grandmother's house so that he could introduce Rachel to his grandmother. When her friend dropped Rachel at Nick's grandmother's house, her friend was astonished by the size of the mansion. She told Rachel that her family's wealth is nothing compared to this...

Mourning Ruby holiday book

The novel "mourning Ruby" by Helen Dunmore was extremely good since it showed depth and got more and more interesting towards the end. In the beginning I was not at all convinced that it was a good book though since it was very boring with a lot of description and no actions going on. Throughout the book the reader travels through time constantly, since the plot is about an "orphan" growing up. The novel is briefly about a young 30 year old mother who was laid in a shoebox in front of an italien restaurant as an infant and left there as an orphan, this newborn child (Rebecca) is now thirty years later a very successful singer and has children herself. She is searching for the truth in her family and trying to find her true origins. 
The book is very touching and deep, it is not very exciting tough, i still recommend it.
