This week I was able to advance my reading in the new Lauren Kate book, Fallen.As it seemed before, this book started narrating two different stories one about a girl who has been sent to a reformatory school and another of a couple,but I am still not completely sure that they are actually two different stories or only one but the book is narrating different scenes,so I will have to wait a little longer during my reading to get complete knowledge.
For now,what I've read,the book begins off with "one" of the possible two stories,the girl who was been sent to the reformatory school by her parents,and she describes her tour all over the buildings of the school,where she will sleep,what she must do and not do,how to become ready for all of her classes,but at the same time a warning is given to her by one of the main supervisors,there are cameras, and they are everywhere,so she must extremely watch every single thing she does, because everything will determine the time of her stay in this "hellwhole" as Arriane,(Luce's new friend) describes the school.
Besides Luce getting to know her new installations a little better,as said before,she gets to meet new people, this involves her friend Arriane,a girl who has long been in this school and which has determinately made her to "wacky" for Luce's taste and surprises her at the end with a strange compliment by telling Luce to cut her hair equally to hers.And also,Luce spoke to the mysterious kid she had seen with big green eyes warning her about this place.I believe Luce is just getting adapted here,getting to know new and very strange people,she has a long way to go.

Post # 1 Fallen
After finishing the great and amazing book of "The Lord of the Flies" I decided to move on to a new novel with a totally different theme which by the readers comments seem to be a sexy,fascinating and scary story I am excited to start, this new book is called Fallen.
Obviously I don't have much of a long and deep progress in this book, but from what I've read till now,I understand it could possibly be narrating two different stories.The first one is about a man that has a couple, and for a special and unnamed reason till now, he is planning on leaving her, for which she gets sad and asks him to take her with him,and he keeps denying her for that reason.There is something the man and her are hiding,something that happened in the past that must keep him away from her to keep her safe,but it is still unknown for the public.
The second story narrated, is about a teenage girl which is introduced in a reformatory school by her parents because of something(also unknown till now) she committed in her old school,she is forced to give up her phone which is her only contact with the world;her mom and her friend Callie.And on her first day she met and made eye contact with a boy with a tattoo on his back and found him attractive,I am very intrigued about the reasons she got into the reformatory school and why the man is about to leave his couple.

Blog Reflection
My Character's Blog done about The Lord Of The Flies http://mariasreads.blogspot.com/2013/09/characters.html shows the development of characters over the course of time in my story in the way were "i have been able to observe in the characters development,how 1 action made by
anyone of this boys is a huge influence and credit on anyother action they
intend to imply later."One action made by
anyone of this boys is a huge influence and credit on anyother thing they want to have access or do ."This quote says that to build up your position in that small group or to give yourself a "place" you must show first that you are able,you have to prove and demonstrate that you are capable of doing so.But this process wasn't like this always,the more time these kids passed in this island they began to notice that if this is a survival situation you're not gonna win anything if you dont stand up for what you want you have fight for it, so at the same time it proves that the children's characters become stronger, more agresive, but they also become frightened, anxious and desperate because they have no idea when theyre coming to get them,how long will they be there,will they survive,food,supplies,fire,water?That's also why then
fighting and some getting killed explain a brutal change in their interaction.
My goals next Trimester imply reading books with a more advanced vocabular and with a more complex theme.My goals are to develop my solving plot skills and strenghten my theme understanding.And I would like to achieve a more extense vocabular while writting,getting the ability to use more complex words in sentences,make it seem something normal in my daily communication.
I would definitely want to improve the speed i have while reading but obviously understanding equaly, and extending my responses while answering a question.

Getting in the children´s shoes
I was able to compare myself in so many ways with this story,not only because this conflict may seem as one of my daily problems but obviously not so intense, but because this story is able to bring the real life people´s reactions when a tragic situation actually occurs and because it shows again the importance of knowing when and how to keep an order with formally and strictly applied norms and rules.You may think it may lead to a slightly disadvantage, but no when a snowball keeps getting more snow to pile up,it becomes a huge snow rock that can cause a great amount of damage.
How would you react if you were dump'd in a lonely island with a bunch of kids who are as desperate as you?
Reflection Lord Of The Flies
A Stressful Ending
I think the ending part of this whole story made me a bit stressed,im not saying its not good or anything, but I managed to get so into this book that when I saw everything these children had to go through,food,fights,children getting killed,Porky and Ralph's resistance,making their own fire,weapons, the "monster" and at the end Porky got killed just a day before their rescue had arrived to the island to take them home.That makes me think that if maybe the children wouldve known that they WERE actually going to be saved,Porky wouldnt have died.It was just a matter of time that they missed.They say in life everyting is temporary,but you dont know until when or for how long.
