The Worst Christmas I Ever Recieved

Well, I wouldn't say it is the worst gift. I would say this gift was a redone gift which kind of was embarrassing. My aunt had gotten me a brand new video game and I had not told my mother. But through the year I was bugging my mom about the game that I had been wanting. She said she didn't have the money to buy so I was game less for good amount of the year. On Christmas Day though she had finally got me the game, I was so pleased and I played that game all day. I guess I had talked about wanting the game so much that my other relatives had also heard about me wanting the game that they also had bought me the game after I recieved the original. I didn't want to return the gift and look stubborn so I kept the game and now in case I lose my game I'll have three back ups.

Predicting and Uncertain Future for Will in Ranger's Apprentice Icebound Land

In "Ranger's Apprentice Icebound Land" by John Flanagan I predict that will begin to have on and off moments from addiction to warmweed, the reason why is because in one sudden moment he wakes up from a nap remembering everything with no side effects. It really bothers me because it felt sped up and it seemed like he just wanted to get over with the storyline. And it's kind of a repetition at this point where he will make a storyline of a book too rushed that you can't seem to enjoy it at times. My evidence to prove this is, "A jolt of fear hit him. Evanlyn! What had become or her?" this shows that all of the sudden he can remember Evanlyn and in the paragraph before it he doesn't quite remember much. "But there was no memory there. Nothing but a blank wall that defied all his efforts to pierce it." this is the paragraph before it, now I know that at times a surge of memory can come to you, but he woke up from a nap, has no idea where he is and you'd think that he would try to figure out what happened to him first. But besides that I think John Flanagan had thought of something fresh for a storyline that the good old "Good guy fights all the bad guys and saves everyone."

The Theme of Ranger's Apprentice Icebound Land

In "Ranger's Apprentice Icebound Land" by John Flanagan there is a lot of friendships that begin to grow throughout the book or grow from the book before. And I think that the theme of this book is "Great friends will stick by you" and the reason why I think this is mainly because of Evanlyn and Will. They had been traded to become slaves and then splitter up because of their friendship. The slave owners saw they were friends and decided to break them up and without each other's supervision they wouldn't know what the others were doing. Will had became so sore from the work he was doing as a slave that the other slaves gave him warmweed to make him feel better. As soon as Evanlyn found out she was saddened because she thought she lost a friend. Erak had helped her stop his addiction by slowing down his doses and when he was finally snapped out of the warmweed she had become so happy she cried. The evidence to support is, "And, saying it, he wondered why her eyes had filled, and why her shoulders were shaking as tear after tear spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks. After all, he couldn't really see that there was anything to cry about." this is important because of how Evanlyn had become so drawn away from him thinking she lost a friend. Once will snapped out of his addiction she cried from joy knowing her friend was back. This theme also goes for Halt and Horace because of their friendship that grows from the same goal they have, saving Will and Evanlyn. They had gone through facing a power hungry warrior and in the end they felt accomplished knowing they were one step quick to getting Will and Evanlyn. The evidence to support this is, "'Good,' said Horace, and there was a world of satisfaction in the single word. Together, they turned their backs on the memory of Deparnieux. They urged their horses forward and the little cavalcade moved off, Tug following close behind the two riders. 'Let's go and find Will,' said Halt" this is important because it is reminded of their shared goal that sprouts this friendship and throughout the journey of finding Will, they stuck by through thick and thin problems and went straight ahead, that is why the theme is Great Friends will Stick By You

And I feel that I have had people who would try to bring me down and tell me things I rather not hear. But I listen to the things I want to hear to help me on my own.
