The Obsession Continues

Now I've always had an obsession with Russia but only recently I've wanted to learn Russian. SOME people in my family say "Why Russia? It's filed with depressed people. Why Russia?" I have objections. (Look below for objections):

1.) Architecture
2.) Culture
3.) Language
4.) Landmarks
5.) Landscape
6.) Music








Hope you agree with me that RUSSIA is AMAZING!! I hope that someday I could go!

The Messenger

I think that this book was the darkest out of the three. It had many evil qualities to it.

The main character, Matty is an older version of Matt from Gathring Blue. Matty's living in Village with the Seer (Kira's dad) and having some what of a normal life. Matty realizes that he has a gift, the same way Leader (Jonas from The Giver) and Kira (Gathering Blue) do.

This book is about Matty's journey to warn people that Village is being walled up because of the rivalry between people in Village. So Matty goes on his journey through Forest to return Kira to Seer.

Lois Lowery is an amazing author. She made it possible for me to imagine all the pain that Kira and Matty were feeling on their treacherous journey through Forest.

I love this book!!! I love Lois Lowery!!! ENJOY!!!
