Spring Break

This week i finished reading Brisinger. They had a big battle, and eragon and saphira dominated, but there teachers were killed in battle, so now Eragon and Saphira are the only dragons fighting for the Varden anymore. before they died though, the dragon teacher gave Saphira his heart of hearts, which gives you strenghth and keeps the dragon alive after it dies. This is how Galborax gets all his power. So now, i have to wait till the 4th book to see how it all ends.



I started to read White oleander by Janet Fitch. So far, the auther has just introduced the characters and let you know how they think. The mother got into a relationship with a guy named Barry, which is against all her "rules" about men. When Barry broke it off, the mom went crazy. She went into Barry's home and did things to his computer, and his house. When Barry came over to confront her mother about what she did, and she stabbed him in the arm after her tried to break in. Then one night the police men came over and took away the girls mother, but her mom wasnt worried, she said the police men couldnt hold her, and she would be home. she never came home, and now the daughter is living in a home. she took some of her mothers writings, and when another kid in the home was looking at it, she got really upset, so this other kid started ripping out pages. The child tackled this other foster kid, and could have killed her, she held a pocketnife to her neck, but she just told her not to touch any of her things again, and let her go.

This week i continued to read Brisingr. Eragon went to the dwarves place, and when he was there and the dwarves were trying to pick there next leader he left behind the Varden and all their trials against the empire. Eragon went to visit the dwarves without Saphira so that the Empire didnt know that Eragon wasnt there. While Eragon was gone, Roran, Eragons cousin, got into a couple of battles. Rorans first battle came against wandering soldiers of the Empire. This is were he began to prove himself as a warrior and he jumped off his horses back into the middle of a bunch of wagons and fought and killed 5 warriors by himself. His next battle, was agianst soldiers that wouldnt die, and he and his group of soldiers got wounded pretty bad and his comander got his hand chopped off. Because of this fact, his band of soldiers got a new leader who was a real nazi. he didnt let anyone get away with any creative thinking, (a.k.a. jumping of a horses back into the middle of a bunch of wagons.) so when Roran went into battle with him, and they were out numbered and a bunch of people were dieing and Roran didnt want to die by being shot a bunch of times by arrows and did some creative thinking he got in trouble. Even though everyone would have died without this creative thinking by him, oh, and he killed 193 soldiers all by himself here to. so when he got back to the Varden he was punished for not getting everyone killed by getting 50 lashes. then a day after this he was told he had to lead a charge of humans and urgal soldiers out for a raid, and convince the urgals that humans still wanted to align with them even though one of the humans just went and killed 4 urgals in there sleep. No worries, the Varden hung this human. So after Roran got all the muscles of his back torn off because he lead people, the magicians healed Roran enough so that the muslces scabbed over. So after Roran sucessfully lead his urgals and humans to victory, he found a couple of urgals torturing a soldier tied to a tree. Roran yelled at them for this, and then one of them challenged Roran for the leadership role. now you have to realise that urgals are like giant over-grown rams that walk on two feet, and they have really big teeth and claws and stuff. So luckily Roran beat the urgal and they pledged to follow him because Roran proved he was a fit leader. while all of this was going on Eragon got attacked by people in the dwarves place, and if any dwarf leader orders an attack on a visitor its a huge no-no. so once everyone found out that a leader ordered this attack, he was shunned and then Orik was ellected leader over the dwarves. Then Dragon Saphira came to the dwarves place to congratulate Orik for victory, fixed there most precious item the Arya and accidentally broken the first time she came. then Eragon and Saphira flew to learn more the thier elf teachers because Murtagh had made them realise they needed more skill to beat them. So When they got there, Eragon first learned that his father had been Brom, not and evil guy that worked for Galborax, and that Murtagh, was only his half brother.


Well next week I plan on finishing my last 128 pages of brisingr, and then i'll read White Oleander by Janet Fitch. If i happen to get done with that i'll probably pick yet another book off of the 12 bookshelves in my house and read it.

Time read so far: 47.5 hours.
