Blog Post #2 ~ first thoughts of " The Last Child "
"Johnny learned early"
When I read this line for the first time, what I thought about was, what did he have to learn early?
As of now, I think the "good guys" are Johnny, and the cops. And the "bad guy" is the father. I think that the cops are good because they have been trying to help find Alyssa for the past year. They also have been checking up on her family to make sure everything thing is going okay.
"I'm sorry I couldn't bring her home. You know that right?" said Hunt. This quote shows his actual disappointment in himself and it reinforces that he just wants to help. I think the father is the "bad guy" because he left his family after Alyssa went missing. Almost like he didn't care enough to stay or maybe he had something to do with it so he fled.
I choose this book because I had heard great reviews on it and the plot sounded interesting and so far I really like it.

Blog Post #1 ~ Why I read
Why do I read?
I read because I like to be taken to a different place with a book and escape reality . I like to read about someone else's life and the ups and downs in it.I like the fact that I won't know what happens to the characters until I finish reading the last page of the book. And even if someone tells you what happens at the end, actually reading it is different. The details add so much to the story line and some how you are still shocked with the ending. I like the surprise elements and plot twists that are mind boggling. When you think you know what's going to happen but the author changes it up on you, that's when you know it's a good book. I read to enhance my imagination. After reading a good book you think that anything is possible. You become a little kid again and you let your ideas run wild. But one of the main reasons that I read is pleasure. The thought of just opening a book and reading the night away and going on a adventure with the characters in your book or watching your favorite character fall in love, nothing beats that. Some books are life changing and inspiring . I encourage you to find that one book that truly changes your life.
