i read "the morning" of april morning and it's SOOOOOOOOOOO SAD!!!!!! :'( i was about to cry seriously!! but i dont really cry because of books or movies or anything... but i came pretty close. i know this blog isnt for things other then honor's books, but it was SO SAD!!! April Morning shows the british as a lot less friendly compared to in Johnny Tremain... in april morning it actually shows the british as the merciless filthy evil (lol) people that they're described by john hancock, etc. but in johnny tremain they're friendly! at least for the most part. the general (forgot his name) didn't really act that harshly after the boston tea party (at least it didnt say he did). he still let the rebel newspapers print articles and stuff... but this major pitcairn... grrr evil person... he didnt even give the reverend a chance to talk!! the only nice british person was that soldier that tried to help adam's granny with adam's father's body. but then again, he was involved in the killing, probably. but at least he had compassion.
there i made some connection with the honor's books, even though that book was from a while ago :P
and about witch of blackbird pond. i was reading amanda s's entry. and as i commented, i was wondering why people of new england were so... up tight about only reading stuff about God and stuff. i mean they all (in a sense) originated in england, and Queen Elizabeth herself really liked Shakespeare plays, which weren't plays about Christianity or anything really... so why do the people of colonial america think it's "scandalous?" and if, after a while, religion got really big, then why would Kit's grandfather not care about it? maybe he was a rebel, and maybe that's why he lived in barbados. those are 2 pretty good things to contemplate...
and i also thought it was kind of cheap how Kit was supposed to agree to william coming over and just staring at her all night and was expected to accept his proposal. they hardly knew each other, and they had nothing in common and hardly ever said more then 2 sentences to each other at a time! or in 1 evening! but i guess a girl was supposed to agree, to be like proper and polite and honor the family and stuff. but good thing Kit didn't mind about that. i'm glad about the ending ^_^ nat was perfect for Kit.
it stopped raining @ 8:14 PM

What a long post... And you can put anything in the blogs :P
Lea, nice job on your blog. I really like the Christmas theme and the Linus and Lucy music. Did you take the AR test on "The Witch..."? If not, see Mr. Hansen and do that. Great blog!
