Book Review:The Mortal Instruments-City of Bones

The Mortal InstrumentsCity of BonesCassandra Clare

505pages

“City of Bones” is the first book in the fascinating row “The Mortal Instruments” by Cassandra Clair. The book is about a fifteen year old girl named Clarissa Fray, called Clary. Clary is a totally ordinary girl, or actually not…

When Clary and her best friend Simon go to “Pandemonium”, a dance club in New York City, she witnesses three teenagers following a blue haired boy and apparently without any reason they kill him. Clary is terrified. But then she realizes something, Clary is the only one able to see the mysterious young people with the woven ornaments tattooed all over their beautiful, muscular bodies. Shadowhunters.

When suddenly Clary’s mum is gone, Clary is attacked by a snakelike looking creature, called Ravener, a demon and Clary somehow wakes up in a Shadowhunter institute, she realizes that her mum wasn’t exactly the person she seemed to be. At the institute Clary gets to know Isabelle, Alec and Jace, Jace the young Shadowhunter who rescued her after the Ravener attack. She also meets the threes’ trainer Hodge and their slightly creepy cat church. Clair needs to find out where her mum is and Jace agrees to help her. Together with Isabelle and Alec they experience many spooky adventures that give you goose bumps.

Also interesting, I find, are the relationships between the protagonists. Simon and Clary are best friends but when Simon falls in love with Isabelle, Clary is not very happy with that. Isabelle is a very beautiful young Shadowhunter woman with shimmering long black hair. Clary doesn’t like her. She is too pretty Clary thinks. And I think the most interesting character is Jace because to the outside he is very hard and inapproachable but when he is with Clary, and only then, we get to know his gentle, caring side. Clary is attracted to him and Jace also likes Clary very much and in the beginning of the book you would gess they get together but ***SPOILERALARM*** in the end they find out that they are siblings. Which I personally found a bit of shocking, I really wouldn’t have awaited that.

The whole book is written very catchy and is an absolutely must-have-read for fantasy-fans. I think the book really shows situations in Clary’s when everything changes and I think Cassandra Clare did a very good job describing her reaction.

I would give the book                                               from five hearts.

I hope you enjoyed reading and found my review interesting.

                                                                                                                  

Book Report "The Hunger Games-Mockingjay"

Hello guys,
today I'm going to tell you something about the third part of the Hunger Games triology of Suzanne Collins. But attention, this article may include spoilers!!!

Suzanne was born in Hardford(New Jersey) in the year 1962, 10th of august. Now she lives with her husband and two children in Connecticut. She wrote the Hunger Games triology because she had realized that many people lives in poverty.

The final part of the Hunger Games triology is about a revolution against the capitol.

While Katniss visits her home district which is completely destroyed except of the victors village she finds a white rose from president Snow as a warning. Katniss and Peeta have survived the Hunger Games twice but the capitol catches Peeta. In the meantime Katniss, Gale, the other residents of district 13 and some other districts plan a
revolution against the capitol to let them stopp the Hunger Games and their authority over the other districts. Katniss should be their mockingjay. At first she isn't complain with the idea of the mockingjay. But then she agrees to that plan. After the capture of the other districts, except district 2 which is loyal to the capitol, the districts escape and rescue Annie(Finnicks love) and Peeta with a surprise attack. But the capitol has tortured him so hardly that he thinks that Katniss is an enemy.

Katniss lets herself transfer to district 2 because she knows that many of the peacekeepers are there. Because of that Katniss and the others of district 13 attack them. They leave one exit open to let them give up but Gale come up with a better idea. He overwhelms the other exits, so that there is only one exit anymore. So the peacekeepers and the workers have to come to outside if they won't die inside. But during the execution of them, a peacekeeper tries to kill Katniss but it doesn't work. The workers kill that person afterwards. After that mission Finnick gets marry with Annie.

I would love to tell you guys more from that book but I won't spoil your reading enjoying. I think that book was quite amusing but it would be difficult to read if you haven't read the first two parts. Well, I advise you the whole triology because I think this book belongs to the general education of our generation.

SL_ Crazy collector

Hey guys! This text is about a very nice woman who has got a very strange hobby. She collects bones of animals and also of human beings.

The Hobby

Susan Michael is 42 years old and lives in Townsville with her 10 years old son in a house near the coast. The house is from her parents and very big, so she has got enough walls and cupboards to keep also some very old bones safe. If she doesn’t clean the bones or just watches them she works as a biologist (bone research). Her job takes very much time of her life so if she’s home she loves it to be just with her son Tom and her bones.

The Bones

Most people think:”IHHHHH…How ugly!” if they hear of her hobby. Most of them can’t imagine how you can live in a house full of bones. And I’m really sorry but I can’t too, but for Tom it is the most normal thing all over the world. He grew up with the bones because Susan wasn’t the first “bones collector” in her family. Her dad began to collect when he was 20 years old. When he died his wife searched for another house and Susan got the big house and all the bones.

The House

I met Susan in her house and talked with her. All around me were bones. Big bones, small bones, skulls, first it was creepy but then I acclimatized and I thought it was really interesting what she told me about the differences between the bones. In my opinion it was really interesting what she told me.  In the house it didn’t smell different like in other houses. The bones don’t stink at all…jJust a little bit.

The Film

Susan told me that two years ago a film company asked her if they could shoot a film in her house. She said yes and her son was even allowed to act a little part in the film. (He just had to scream and run away.)

All together I think that this hobby is really crazy but also rather interesting. And I really admire Susan Michael for collecting collects so many bones besides a full time job and her family.

Thanks for your attention. I look forward to read you again. 

MM_The craziest scientist

By Martina Markunović

The craziest scientist

Professor John Frink

This is the craziest scientist I have ever met: Professor John Nerdelbaum Frink, Jr. He has got darkblond hair and he often wears pink trousers with a white shirt, a blue fly and grey shoes. He adores to show his surrounding people that he is a scientist with his lab coat and a bottle with sulfuric acid in it.

Professor Frink tries to hold lessons to people who aren’t as ingenious as he is. And when he tries to explain something, he is like in his own movie with lots of great labs wich are full of chemicals and chemical things and where he can do what he wants to and experiment with dangerous materials. He explains things like they were really big and it is so incomprehensible that it is no surprising that nobody is as good as he in science and other areas.

John Frink is not a social person. He is always alone in his big penthouse in the downtown of Vienna. He has got only one friend: his cat Snowball. He always talks with the cat like with a normal person. He plays with Barbie dolls, speaks like a four-year-old girl and wears sometimes girly clothes.

When John thinks about chemical things, he relaxes on his old big rudy chair where he holds his cat on his lap and strokes it like a very old and wise man.

I think that John Frink is the craziest scientist I have ever met because he is so unique and shy and he does so weird actions that it is really funny when you are with him in one room.

Letter of Recommendation

Letter of Recommendation

Sascha is the best snow clearer i have ever seen. He always did his work with passion. I never had to say him what to do. Because it was already done. With time we became friends. He is a very reliable and responsible employee. He was also a nice team mate, he helped his friends. And if somebody was sick, he was doing his work too, until he was able to work again. There was never a situation in which i didn´t could trust him. Every time he was there when i needed him. Sascha is a great employee, I think every company should be happy to have Sascha in the team.

Secretary

I’m writing about Daniel’s skills as secretary.

Daniel was one of my best employee I ever had, he won always the employee of the month title and mostly the employee of the year title too. He studied in Oxford and on other really good universities. He had other jobs on the North and South Pole, examples, he was Mr. Santa’s personally secretary and Mrs. Santa’s   second secretary. He was for one year on a education camp for high qualified secretary’s. Short  he is one of the best secretary’s on the world, no one can top him. He went away because he want to gather experience.

Snowman-maker

Snowman-maker:

I saw an advertisement in the Snowman newspaper for this job and one minute I wrote this letter of application. I studied at the University of forming balls. I was before on a three year tour in the Antarctic. I had no problem with the snow and the cold. I was always first in my class at school in ball forming. After my school I train my body now I can lift up 35 kilos snow. A long and beautiful dream would come true for me. So I´m perfect for this job.
