Catching Fire

Catching Fire By Suzanne Collin.



****** = I give it 6 stars because ....



I LOVED the hunger games it was AMAZING and Catching Fire was more than AMAZING it was so so so good i cant explain it!



Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and she puts so much heart and thought into her books. Some of the comments she got for the hunger games ( Cathcing Fire is a new relse ) were ...

The Hunger Games is violent, jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense ....... I could not stop reading it!

- Stephen King Entertainment weekly

I was so obsessed with this book i had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so i wouldn't have to stop reading! The story kept me awake for several nights in a row, because even after i was finished, i just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it. The Hunger Games is AMAZING!

- Stephenie Meyer Twilight Saga Author

Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced ..... Engrossing

- John Green New York Times Book reviews

A plot - driven blend of suspense, science fiction and romance.

- USA Today

They are just same of the comments of the Hunger Games but cathcing fire is better if not just as amazing. When I read it it takes me into Katniss ( Main Character ) world. Her descriptions reminds me some how of me. I absolutely love the characters in both books and my favorites are Prim - Both Books Gale - Both Books Katniss - Both Books ( My Favortie Favorite ) Rue - Only in the Hunger Games Katniss's Mum -Both Books and Peter - Both Books ( Author main character ).

I want to read the Cathching Fire again and again but .... I have a whole line of books lined up to read but I'm sure i will read it more than once.

Its AMAZING!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!! ITS UNSTOPPABLE TO READ!!!!!

Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn was written by Stephine Myer. I give the book a definite 5 stars.

*****

My Favorite parts in the book were the fabulous ending to the sequel, the middle when they were getting ready for the Volturi to attack and when Reenesme was born. The twilight saga was fantastic and the order of my favorite books best to worse is Breaking Dawn, Eclipse, New Moon and then Twilight.

As i have said in all my post on Twilight or Stephine Myer she is an amazing writer and there is no doubt i will read the saga again and again. I absolutely love her books and was so sad to finish breaking dawn cause the series is over.

It took me 2 months to read breaking dawn but i kept stopping and staring again and again so it took longer than i would have liked.


The Twilight saga is the second best saga i have read behind The hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins.

Poem

My Poem i created about Jakatra.....

Trip to Bintaro Lama

Bintaro Lama was very interesting, educational and Fun. We all learned a lot of things about how to clean water and how important water is. In the village it was very dirty and so was there water. There were 6 stations and in those stations we learned how to clean water. We went to only 3 of the 6 but still learned a lot.

My first station was Ceramic filter a PuR. The Ceramic filter was a big water tank with a ceramic pot in the plastic tank. The people poured dirty water into the filter and then waited 6 hours for the water to filter thorough the ceramic pot.

PuR came in little sachets. You had dirty water in a plastic jug and wrapped a clean towel around the top of the jug. The you had another jug that you poured the cleaner water into. Use the clean towel would get rid of small things like dirt and bugs. After you drain the water from the first jug you open the PuR and stir it into the water. Use another clean towel and pour the water into a glass and it ready to drink.

Second Station was Aqua tabs and Air Rahmat.

Auqua Tabs were placed into a jug filled with 5 liters of water and stirred in for 5 minutes. Aqua Tabs are little tablets that clean water and cost 1000 Rp. a tablet. Air Rahmat is a small bottle of liquid. To use Air Rahmat you have a jug of water filled to 10 liters and then you pour 5 drops of Air Rahmat and then shake 30 times in a row.

Put a clean towel over the lid and pour into a glass and its ready to drink.

Third Station was teaching kids to wash there hands and how important it is.

They told us tat they created a song about washing their hands before serving food, After using the bathroom, before eating food and after touching animals.

At the end of all the stations the kids sang the song they created.

We all had fun and learned a whole lot about cleaning water. It was hot, sticky, smell, dirty but it was definitely FUN!
